Yes, I do, in fact, think like this.  

The serious inflation won’t hit until everyone thinks it is going to hit. And although the “fundamentals” of serious price inflation have been in place since late 2008, we are seeing more and more signs that Bernanke’s dam of obfuscation is starting to crack.

One Population Boom That Needs a Serious Bust

Unfortunately, it’s “busts”—as in drug busts—that have created this horrendous boom in the first place.

I’d like to see this chart as a percentage of population over time, rather than simply prisoner count.  It would be a lot more accurate.  I’m very bothered by pushing an agenda through misrepresenting numbers.

Thanks, ndhenry, for this MoJo comment of the day. Hopefully, the honor will keep you warm long enough to save a table leg.

So, how have regulations barring competition from industries affected this?  How has inflation?  How has taxes that are easily avoided by those knowledgeable in the ways of avoiding taxes (AKA not the lowerclassmen)?

What are the real causes for this?

The “social contract” with the state can be likened to an abusive relationship. Once you come to understand that, you simply walk away and never look back.

The Department of Education needs the boot.

For all monetary inquiries, one should take inflation into account.  I’m not saying that I’m for the increase of tax-payer dollars used on education.  However, I am noting that everything is misunderstood and miscalculated due to inflation.
