Pushing Us Over the Cliff

It’s bad enough when so-called economists serve up the same Keynesian nonsense that has led us down the current cul-de-sac in the first place. At least those people have some incidental knowledge, however deeply flawed, of basic economic concepts.

Yes, turning off the television is a good first step.  Maybe a little reading from time to time is helpful too.  I found “Economics in one Lesson” to be absolutely invaluable.

Peter Schiff is being drafted for senate in 2010.  Check out http://www.schiff2010.com to support a man who is outside of the political party scheme and truly understands the economic forces that govern our lives.
