Then we can debate whether we want the war in Afghanistan and Iraq or Social Security. We can debate whether we want the war on drugs or Medicaid. Maybe we'll even get to the point of the FDA vs Medicare.<br /><br />The point is of course that we then accept that the government is going to shrink. It is going to do less than it has been doing. Government employees whose jobs are not absolutely critical are going to get laid off.<br /><br />Those would be debates worth having; not the current junk.Jer Cittihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005935290407795237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-61746486906654241472011-07-16T19:52:39.503-07:002011-07-16T19:52:39.503-07:00I guarantee they will have enough money for tear g...I guarantee they will have enough money for tear gas canisters and riot gear ...Ted Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208339415413961326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-57834845106823602512011-07-16T13:42:58.061-07:002011-07-16T13:42:58.061-07:00I must again ask the author or authors of this blo...I must again ask the author or authors of this blog to state their position(s) in gold and silver. As you are clearly touting gold and silver in the below story "One of the Big US Banks Texted Me Today to Say that If QE3 Actually Happens, We Could See Gold at $5,000...," it behooves you to state your position(s).<br /><br />I believe your credibility is at risk if you are touting an investment in which you are long. You may be seen to be "talking your book" much like the Squawk Box hosts and other investment product shills.Blurtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997520846655923035noreply@blogger.com
