This is a great post!
Debussey, I probably agree with you 90% or more of the time, but unless you expand on this, I fail to see where SAMSON123 didn't hit it bang on.
Because "Sampson" paints a doomsday scenario, makes wild assumptions, and does it all without a shred of evidence. The overwhelming majority of the professional economists does noe believe in the lengths he takes his assumptions to, and you can not claim that "Sampson" is taking the conclusions ("As it stands now the dollar is worthless...soon people will be throwing it into furaces like the Polish, Germans, Hungarian etc did when their money collapsed" -> Compare this to what 240 wrote about the dollar in a response to one of your rescent posts) a bit far to make a point, because practically all of his posts uses this style of writing, both the positive and negative ones, and its hard to get the impression of a "point maker" if you backtrack his writings.
"but then again that was and is the BUSH ADMINISTRATIONS goal. Bankrupt the country, then try to revive it after first getting control over all agencies, companies and industries. The 1929 maneuver will not work in 2008...It's over folks...enjoy your money...THE SOUP LINES AWAIT.
-> This is an irrational statement by far. He has no proof for this, and to make such a statement, he has to have insight knowledge about the Bush administration. Analyzed in the context of his rescent posts, it just testifies to the fact that the he = an idiot.
How can you take his posting seriously when it is not based on fact, but a silly mental construct of reality that he has no business using as an argument? His whole post screams "I am scared shitless, and that's my whole argument"
