We Need More Stimulus, Say the Drones

So now we’re being told that the economy needs more “stimulus.”  Want to smash this argument to smithereens?  Read Professor Shawn Ritenour’s article.  If you’re dying for more, try my article “Tooth Fairy Economics” and my report  for Euro Pacific Capital called “Beware of Obamanomics” (.pdf).

What kind of author would I be if I didn’t also recommend my new book Meltdown?  I promise it will help you win arguments with friends who may have enlisted in the army of drones who say the solution to the crisis is to hand over more power to our overlords.

    I think part of the solution to the economic is that business leaders needs to purchase some of the media giants and higher education institutes that teach failed economic ideas or grow new ones to replace them, so that the public can be educated with sound money priciples.

    Most of the public is clueless and the process of educating them with sound money econonics will take a long time. And before that a lengthy debate will ensue, which is just getting started.

    This time, the meltdown looks to be long enough to provide an opportunity to re-educate many people. But you need to expand very quickly to fill the void and have answers to the millions that have questions. So that the public does not continue to be kept in the dark by the popular ideas, and before they legislate control of information.
