Alright then. So yesterday we made a claim that the Fed has ways of causing inflation in the same way that the Gestapo has ways of making you talk. But it was merely a claim. We didn’t prove it. Today, we offer incontrovertible proof that the Federal government of the United States intends to inject money directly into U.S. households using an obscure provision of the recently passed Dodd-Frank shemozzle.

Is China Facing a Boom or Bust?
Last week – before we set about proving that Australian housing was a bubble waiting to blow up – we began making the case that the resource boom might be facing an unquestioned assumption behind its enduring boom: that China won’t blow up. But what if it does?

The Fight Between Greed and Fear, Boom and Bust, Expansion and Contraction
This is a fight that goes on all the time. But it is usually kind of a ‘cold war.’ Years go by without much activity. Stocks meander. A few companies go bust. A few boom.

Jim Grant Declares Boom is Nigh

The Lint Age
Both patricians and plebes are for bailouts. Both business and labor back stimulus programs. The taxpayers and the politicians who rule them are of one mind. Liberal, conservative, rich, poor, Republican, Democrat all speak with a single voice: ‘Screw the next generation!” The golden age is over, in other words.

Said the Joker to the Thief
And now we face a grim task; for now we have to reckon with the year ahead. Stocks are no longer absurdly over-priced. Nor is oil.
