The value of US markets alone would rise at least several trillion dollars.  Financial institutions are leading the charge.  There is no other place, except T-bills..., for them to invest their bailout money.  Could this rise in stock market values simply be another bubble? <a href="http://armsreach.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/is-a-better-bubble-inflating-the-stock-market/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=armsreach.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5116141&amp;post=174&amp;subd=armsreach&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The very smug faces on leading Senate Democrats during passage of the most recent bailout package are suspicious.  Those are the looks of people enjoying a feast; they are not sacrificing.   And they know that despite America's overwhelming disgust with Congress, voters usually support their local representatives.  So, they will probably not be held accountable for their contribution to this financial fiasco.  President Barack Obama will probably take the blame for Congressional dysfunction.  And then Congress is going to welcome back a member of their inner circle. <a href="http://armsreach.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/democrats-eager-to-rekindle-republican-revolution/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=armsreach.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5116141&amp;post=168&amp;subd=armsreach&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many reasons the result of trillion-dollar deficit spending will inevitably be high inflation.  Taxes will not be enough to pay back the bonds used to rescue the economy.  The sale of new bonds will not be enough to roll over that debt.  Without income from either new taxes or enough new bond sales, the government cannot run a budget deficit.  Severely reducing government spending to balance the budget is politically problematic.  Eventually, the government will be forced to create extra money to pay its bills. <a href="http://armsreach.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/ticking-inflation-bomb/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=armsreach.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5116141&amp;post=145&amp;subd=armsreach&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
