			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The guys over at <a href="http://market-ticker.denninger.net/" title="Market Ticker" target="_blank">Market Ticker</a> have a <a href="http://market-ticker.denninger.net/2008/04/when-men-had-balls-that-clanked.html" title="When Men Had Balls that Clanked" target="_blank">nice piece on why we&#8217;re experiencing this economic crunch</a>. Here&#8217;s some excerpts:</p>
<blockquote><p> People blame &#8220;Cheney&#8221; for the high price of oil and invading Iraq to &#8220;boost his buddies&#8221; but in point of fact the remaining reason we have high oil prices that are squeezing you like a turnip is that our nation&#8217;s accounting is fraudulent, corporately and nationally, and other nations have had enough of it, driving down the value of our currency. The consequence is served up upon you as a consumer in the form of higher costs for food and energy as the price of everything we import translates directly into your wallet.</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh, and a little bit on the second ammendment</p>
<blockquote><p>And don&#8217;t start with &#8220;the army has more guns than I do, therefore it doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221; Of course the military and police have more guns than you do! They&#8217;re also better trained. So what? The purpose of the Second Amendment isn&#8217;t to allow you to &#8220;go postal&#8221; against the government, it is so that you and all 299,999,999 if your neighbors in this great nation can do so all at once if it ever becomes necessary.</p></blockquote>
<p>I say, power to <em>the people</em>, not <em>the government</em> (which is <strong>not </strong>the people, but <strong>of</strong> the people and <strong>for</strong> the people).</p>
