The end is certain, only its timing is unknown, and, once interest rates begin to rise, and they will, it’s game over. Read More »

July 25, 2013 1 Comment

The last several decades of governmental economic policy has seen wealth destruction. Such policies are analogous to the government heating its home by burning the furniture.
