Lots of people make this mistake that anything they can't touch, i.e. "electronic money", isn't real. The reality is that debt is real and it has consequences. And failing to pay debt has even bigger consequences.<br /><br />What's going on in Greece right now is the realization that these things are real. They thought it was all just on paper too and could be avoided. Now they are paying the consequences and it's hitting every single one of them. . . and there's nothing they can do about it. Greece is about to enter some dark times for the next couple of decades.<br /><br />As for "now we have Rand Paul," I see that as progress frankly. I can't say that I agree with everything he says or does or believes, but his civil rights act point is the most logical, principled statement I've ever heard a politician make about this act. He's drawn the very appropriate distinction between what the government's powers are and aren't, and he's made the very real distinction between private actions and government actions. Of course, I don't expect liberals to understand that. But then I've stopped caring what they "think" because they don't think.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-15355616081794678302010-05-27T12:26:56.084-04:002010-05-27T12:26:56.084-04:00Great article.

Dark comedy.<br /><br />A 85 year old liberal man told me that since the 50's or so there is no such thing as money, or dollars. He said I should not worry about debt because it is not real it is all just computerized on a piece of paper. He gave me a litany of all the presidents since then and ended by saying "and now we have Rand Paul." <br /><br />I tried to resist correcting my elder but I felt compelled to point out that now we had Barack Obama. He said "they" would shoot him.<br /><br />Anyway, that's the economy from here at our little retirement condo community in Massachusetts.CrisDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-45710732706300407242010-05-27T12:06:02.521-04:002010-05-27T12:06:02.521-04:00Patti, That's a great point that has been prov...Patti, That's a great point that has been proven over and over and over again -- "EVERYTHING the government does can be done better and unbelievably cheaper".<br /><br />I was involved in some attempts to privatize various government functions and the savings (and improvements) were amazing.
