A Long Break

Hello again. I apologize for a long drought in writing. I’d like to be able to say “I was busy.” as a reasonable excuse and while i was, i was no more busy than before when i wrote consistently so don’t let me get off that easy. Instead i found myself trying to figure out what i wanted to write about and where i wanted this blog to go. I would like it to be as much of a learning experience for you as it is for me. I want there to be useful, current information and news about economics but at the same time i want the overall philosophy of liberty to shine through. As i learn and refine my own ideas I hope you bear with me and contribute along the way not just for my benefit but for your own. Learning is not a spectator sport.

Anyway… a lot has happened since my break began. We’re are in pretty much the same boat but there’s a little bit more water in the bilge. More or less what had been predicted by many others before myself has come true in that all the government intervention in the world cannot prevent a market from correcting itself from such artificial peaks. I have almost lost track of the amount of money being tossed around and so has the media. It seems trivial now to think that AIG just got another 40 BILLION dollars in light of the fact that the more common denomination used is trillions. The stock market has managed to effectively “boo” every move by this administration by shedding several percentage points every time a new ’stimulus’ is announced. Not that i particularly want to be anti-Obama… im sure he’s a fine guy in any other arena, but in terms of economic policy he and his administration are doing it all wrong. Just like Bush before him and Clinton before etc. etc. I’m not partisan, i’ll thoroughly hate on whoever is making the bad decisions liberal or conservative.

What i plan to do here starting soon is lay out a series of longer, more focused and comprehensive economic theory posts, more detailed and sourced. My plan is to then use those as the foundations to refer back to when making further arguments on current events.

Anyway, those of you who are still occasionally checking in hoping for an update, here it is. For those who are newly stumbling upon this site, please bookmark it as it’s not dead, just resting. Thanks!
