What most people don't realize is that issuing money by the treasury dilutes the money supply the same way public companies dilute shareholders by issuing more stock. Except with stock dilution there is sometimes a value added to account for the dilution
Dilution makes your money worth less yet everybody thinks it is a good thing. The mis-managers running the economy are only forestalling the inevitbale crash and making that crash bigger than it ever had to be.
I don't think Obama can pep talk his way out of this mess.
Maybe Michelle can:
"That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done. That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation." Michelle Obama
"It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master." Ayn Rand
