The Fed

Bernanke and company are making matters worse by endlessly inflating and bailing out dysfunctional firms. The result will be more unemployment, not less.

There is nothing that the government can do today — apart from repealing laws and regulations — that will make an improvement on the workings of the market.

Inflation has always been, the most dangerous and destructive form of taxation.

Creating programs outside of the markets to try to support illiquid assets undermines the objective signals of markets in which value is measured by the market price.

There is something government can do in the Austrian cure for a recession: radically remove itself from the economy.

Efforts to avoid the agony of recession—policies that seek to prop up insolvent firms and maintain employment—will only ensure that more resources are squandered in unsustainable lines.

We are once again in a situation where the public and the economics profession have rushed to judge capitalism as the source of periodic and severe crises.

Discovering the Austrian business cycle theory, then, is a revelation, because through it, you learn how the whole business traces to loose money and credit generated by the Fed.

Jobs cannot be created by government fiat.

By now we should all be ready to move beyond hysteria, get a grip on reality, and begin thinking about how to repeal everything the government has done during the past six weeks.
