I watched Larry Kudlow’s show for a few minutes last evening and one of his economic prognosticators was neocon Ben Stein. Apparently oblivious to the fact that it was the Fed that created the stock market and housing bubbles of recent years, Kudlow kept saying “I want more money” creation by the Fed. Neocon Ben added, “We obviously need a bigger federal budget, for defense.”

We need to invade and occupy even more countries, in other words, and we need plenty of inflation to finance the neocons’ plan for world domination. Bigger government and more inflation is what we need, in essence. And these were supposed to be “experts” on how to create a healthier economy.
