Just because it's not immediately clear:
Karl, are yours and Bill's solutions the same at this time?

Edit: Tristan: nope.

From video:

Political action update: Bill Still and Karl invited to DC to brief a member of a certain senators staff on what they see in the future for the US economy and what OUT OF THE BOX SOLUTIONS they would employ to fix the problem.....no names...intend to work with other staffers on capitol hill.....staffer was very knowledgeable on financial side of the problem but HADN'T HAD MUCH EXPOSURE TO THE MACRO LEVEL FIXES ON THE MONETARY POLICY SIDE BILL/KARL WERE PROPOSING. But listened carefully and gave them names of other staffers in key positions who would be very interested as well. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME that they've been able to generate any interest in monetary reform on capitol hill...a really groundbreaking meeting.....

Is that a glimmer of hope I'm seeing?? Yep, I think so! If you succeed Karl, the American people will owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

Hope congress and the senate take this seriously.

Just so many in the US don't understand currency and banking in the US. When you start going into fractional banking if goes above their head. Guess the banksters like the idea of most Americans being clueless.

People in the affected countries need to realize they can control their destiny.

Karl - I'm very disappointed in the name of the book. I was really hoping for "They're All Dumber Than a Bag O Dicks".

Both Karl and I see another big downturn in the world economy, but no one can predict when it will occur because there are just too many variables. However, we both believe that IT WILL OCCUR THIS YEAR, and that during the next crisis the supporters of Austrian economic theory will start beating down the doors of Congress trying to get some sort of gold money bill in place.



Wow. First time I've heard that. I need more ammo.

Good luck to you both.

Maybe we'll use those lamp posts after all.

If protecting bondholders from bad debt really is the primary objective of the supervisors, then the supervisors have become the problem. Capitalism does not work when capitalists are shielded from the economic risks that they freely undertake for profit when they enter into private contracts for debt finance.

This is what we are seeing in Greece on the streets. The Greek people have realised that the government works for the bondholders; the ECB works for the bondholders; the IMF works for the bondholders. They now understand what was not clear before: No one works for the people...

The last time I listened to Still he was an easy-money greenbacker. This piece sings a different tune (or does it?). Has that changed? When I hear "Bill Still" and the words "macro monetary policy" I think of replacing one unbacked fiat currency with another with merely a different issuing authority.

I agree with the rest of it.

I think the most popular title last time we discussed this was "Skullf***ed". I'd be more than happy with a chapter titled or subtitled They're All Dumber Than A Bag o Dicks. smiley Hopefully I can get a signed copy on my pilgramage to the Redneck Riveria this fall.
