The fear and desperation kind of peaked quickly in 2008 and hasn't really gone away. In fact it is worse for the simple reason that it is still here. If we had let the crash and recession run it's course it would have been over in 18-24 months and we would have had a recovery. But the Keynesians were in control and wanted to "fix" it with Keynesian theory/practices. It doesn't work. Now $10 trillion borrowed later and unknown trillions printed we are still faking the stats hiding the truth and running scared. The FED "leaked" that they might raise interest rates slightly and the stock market begin to regress. The FED has played all their cards and have nothing left. Now we wait until this gigantic house of cards collapses...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
