My wife recently spent 3 unplanned days in the hospital for diverticulitis. The bill so far is over $90,000.00. Those who have this much in pocket change raise your hands. OK, the rest of you, BUY THE INSURANCE!!!
and if you're a family like ours that just truly cannot afford that $760 per month premium...?

Elimination of the family is one of the aims of communism. Looks like "Obamacare" is going to be quite successful at accomplishing what it was purposed for, while many of those who've had first-hand experience with the obscene cost of healthcare defend it, instead of addressing the real problem (i.e. the obscene cost of health care).

The Fed has been "printing money" to buy treasury instruments, selling debt, and borrowing to continue the massive deficit spending; however, they are keeping what they are doing out of the public money supply thereby avoiding the problem of hyperinflation. But it's a shill game the end of which is a higher national debt.

We can't just run the national debt up at the rate we are and not expect inflation at some point. There is a threshold that triggers currency devaluation. This happens for many reasons when debt behind currency climbs too high. An obvious example is that other currencies become more attractive than the currency mired in massive debt.

Historically, the slide begins somewhat suddenly and it's like a domino effect. So things look stable for a long time as the debt soars and then currency devaluation finally kicks in as investors stop purchasing the currency and start dumping it flooding the markets, etc... It happens rapidly from that point forward until the currency value correction is finally normalized.

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) has already announced it's going to clear some of the debt through currency devaluation. They want to do it slowly and hopefully avoid the scenario above but at the rate the national debt is soaring I just don't see that happening. Currency devaluation is definitely coming and since we've literally trashed U.S. trade and our economy so badly add stagnancy to that. Stagnation + inflation = stagflation.

Stagflation is where we're headed and nobody's doing anything to turn it around.


uhhh, we been printing money out of thin air for quite some time now actually..

As for the healthcare garbage.. #1 healthcare is not a right. #2 want to lower the price go after big pharma the drug pushers. #3 go after the FDA which allows bad stuff to be put in our food.

ME. I aint paying. and good luck forcing me to pay.
