Shocking the blind to see
Will the agreed $700bn bailout package shock the blind to see when the delayed judgment day arrives? Will people look back when trouble strikes ever more and realize that bailing companies out, inflating the money supply, and trusting the US government and its central bank does not work, that it does not bring prosperity?
What excuses will arise when trouble hits again? The government will have tried, and failed. Will it, again, be the refrain "we didn't do enough"? Will people have the audacity to reply, "No, this time you will do nothing"?
