This is just about the scariest graph I’ve ever seen.

The teasurey secretary, chairman of the federal reserve, the administration, and congress are all trying to convince us that the economy is about to crumble around us. I don’t want to be cliche but it’s becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. That 777 DOW drop on monday? That wasn’t because of any independent market conditions, it was because of the rhetoric coming out of washington scaring the crap out of investors. The runs on the bank, low consumer confidence, these things are all a direct result of the political rhetoric we have been hearing lately. So not only are they damaging the economy through negative propoganda, the bailouts and new monetary policy are going be a silver bullet to kill our markets. Fifty dollar loaf of bread anybody? Take a look at that graph. Amazing. 11.6 percent increase in the monetary base in ONE MONTH.
