pistolpapa Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Ed Bugos spells it out for the deflationists (and 'no inflationsts') -- Note the performance of the entire commodity complex in the table to the right ranked according to three year returns. It should be clear from that alone that the oil price move is not an isolated incident even if it has the spotlight today. The common thread is not China, fundamentally. It is the US dollar and monetary policy regardless that it is denied, or perhaps especially is a better word. It's the dollah, stupid ... As Yobob and Hypertiger have told us for ages, There will be no inflation without higher wages. Higher prices for commodities squeeze employers and do not produce higher wages;exactly the opposite. Higher prices for commodities also squeeze consumers and take liquidity out of the real system. Lower international dollar and high commodity prices at this stage in the cycle is: DEFLATIONARY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 The USA is a republic Electoral college? was our forefathers blessing They new the the pitfalls of a king They were not politically correct !? THANK GOODNESS!!! Those were great men. Washington might have been king but, in one of the great acts in human history, left office voluntarily. Prior to that, leaders were replaced by bloodline or violence. Can anyone imagine any of today's crowd of power seekers doing likewise? Give them a crown and they will take it. George Washington brings tears to my eyes :cry: in a very way! Sadly, our first president was the best one. His Farewell Address, if followed, would have kept us out of Vietnam, Iraq, and a hundred other worthless hellholes. There were only a few good ones during the 19th century (I'm not talking about the Bearded One, either.) The 20th century was uniformly dismal ... they sold out the Republic. 21st century ... forget it, this is a family website ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about anything made by man is in plentiful supply, while that made by nature remains relatively scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrack Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Via USA Today Electoral history ?The term ?Electoral College? does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. ?The electors were not called a college until the early 1800s. ?In 1800, legislatures in two-thirds of the states chose electors. ?Until adoption of the12th Amendment in 1804 specified separate ballots for president and vice president, electors cast two votes without expressing a preference for the top office. ?By 1832, every state except South Carolina used a popular vote to select electors. ?By 1832, nearly every state used the winner-take-all method to select electors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 ?In 1800, legislatures in two-thirds of the states chose electors. Correct. The U.S. Constitution doesn't even require a popular vote for the president. Some state legislatures originally chose both presidential electors and senators. The people voted for their Congressman in the House (only). That's what federalism meant in the early days. The constant references to the U.S. as a "democracy" are a very recent phenomenon ... promoted by anti-republican populists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
