    Connection issues with that link, could not listen...

    Ok - China is communist but they are kicking our ass at "Capitalism".

    But our Fed is kicking their ass in Forex.

    The world is a swirly mess of "isms" - that will insure the Fox News blowhard idiots job security for a long time.

  3. Matt Welch   17 years ago

    Oh well, it was 3 pm PDT, the subject was inflation, and I = FAIL.

  4. Craig   17 years ago

    Communism defeats itself. Deficit spending by those opposing it is unnecessary.

  5. bigbigslacker   17 years ago

    Shrike, "ensure" not "insure". Who would underwrite a policy against blow hard idiots losing their jobs? Think of what the premiums must be on that one.
