*** Warnings From Insiders: Hyperinflation ***

This is from an artice by Robert Ringer over at http://blog.robertringer.com/2008/11/28/warnings-from-inside...

Some excerpts from the article are quotes from William Simon, Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Nixon and Ford:

-----------------------------------------------
In his book A Time for Truth, Simon quoted himself in an appearance before Congress as follows:

You ask, Mr. Chairman, about the consequences of deficits. But we all know what they are. We all know that neither man nor business nor government can spend more than is taken in for very long. If it continues, the result must be bankruptcy.

In the case of the federal government, we can print money to pay for our folly for a time. But we will just continue to debase our currency, and then we’ll have financial collapse. That is the road we are on today. That is the direction in which the “humanitarians” are leading us.

The problem of deficits, budget balancing, capital markets — all these are important. But it is more important, I think, to understand that these are just early warning symptoms of a disease that threatens the very life of our body politic.

And if we continue to move down this same path, that disease will be irreversible, and our liberty will be lost. [My italics.] I speak of this so insistently because I hear no one discussing this danger. Congress does not discuss it. The press does not discuss it. … The people do not discuss it — they are unaware of it.

No counterforce in America is being mobilized to fight this danger. The battle is being lost, and not a shot is being fired. That, Mr. Chairman, is why for me the last few years in office have been like a bad dream. I am leaving Washington next January. I am going to go home to New Jersey a very frightened man.

This was back in the 70's! Look where we are now....at the end.

There is never a majority. Always the minority. Always the few, the brave.

For the sake of our children and people everywhere who yearn for the freedom we the people tasted so briefly, stand now.

Stand now.
