    I don't have a source on it either, I'd read on a blog somewhere that it was 0. Hmm...

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

    To a gold bug inflation isn't increase in prices, it's increases in the money base. The analogy is debasing commodity money with cheaper content, keeping the minting surplus as seignorage.

    Perry: Obama is such a job-killer he caused the recession to start before he was even president. Fear of a Negro President!

    Santorum: Poverty is caused by the homos and the single parents.
