    Back to School for Debt Slavery By Gary Gibson | March 19, 2010

    Housing isn’t the only bubble the feds helped create. Debt has been driving up the price of all sorts of consumer goods for years. Higher education has been no exception. Thanks to debt the feds make available for schooling — directly through federal student loans and indirectly by artificially lowering the cost of borrowing —  schooling …read more

No Juror Left Behind

My afternoon at the courthouse was instructive and disturbing. I have concluded that none of you, dear patrons, have any more chance than I did of getting on a jury even if you don't do what Esssie (over on the Texas Ring) described as "Auntie Mame Goes To Court!" I'm ...read more

The Big Dead Cat Bounce

It’s now been a year since the dark days of early March 2009, when, although no one knew it at the time, the stock market hit rock bottom. From there, all of the indexes went on a tear through the rest of the year, moving higher almost without interruption before ...read more

Collapse Is Inevitable

“Masked youths...attacked the head of Greece’s largest trade union, who was addressing the crowd, and hurled stones at the police. GSEE union boss Yiannis Panagopoulos traded blows with the rioters before being whisked away, bloodied and with torn clothes.” The Daily Mail account put the blame for these disturbances on Germany’s ...read more

Involuntary Servitude

In theory the USA is a country which detests slavery. Well, not counting welfare, bonds, the IRS, the EPA, public schools, and addictive entitlements that remind us of opium dens in old San Francisco. I am talking about being forced, literally, into involuntary servitude, complete with being told where you will ...read more

Leaving Behind Industrial Civilization

Driving down the broad avenues of Cleveland, Ohio, was like flipping through the pages of a picture book about the rise and fall of our industrial empire. Where demolitions had not removed things — a lot was gone — stood the residue of a society so different from ours that ...read more

Argentina Is the Best Place in the World

L: Doug, People want to know more about Argentina and why you like it so much. So, let’s talk about Argentina. Doug: Sure. This is a good time, too, because I’m having a sort of house-warming party at the world-class resort we’re building in Salta province, northwest Argentina. With the stipulation ...read more

How to Survive Financial Collapse Right Now

L: Doug, last time we spoke, you said quite a bit about debt, in the context of your expectation that the euro is on its way out. At the end of that conversation, you mentioned, of course, that the problem is not limited to Greece, nor the eurozone. America as ...read more

Collateral Damage in the War on Depression

"Just allow it...just admit it. It doesn't matter where the inflation comes from. Just let it stay..." SLASHING the Bank of England's base interest rate to an historic low of 0.5% was supposed to "rebalance" the economy...tipping it away from galloping consumption towards an export-led recovery. But all that the Pound's slump ...read more
