The one thing that really made me   :lol:  was the "sound money" category: the US ranked highest in this category in 2010 then any other and improved in that area notwithstanding the launch of Fed driven quantitative easing at a level totally unprecedented in history.

Yeah, that one had me scratching my head.

So I just saw this study referenced in the elevator tv screen. It'd didn't say who commissioned the study, just that it found that the US had dropped to 18th in freedom.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Wall Street seems to be acting pretty fucking freely these days.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
