We all learned the wrong things.

We learned to play MONOPOLY.

Problem is, it is played with PLAY money.

And, OBVIOUSLY, Obama (and the collective governent organizations, like the Fed, the Treasury, etc, hereafter referred to as Uncle Funny) and congress (hereafter referred to as the Court Jesters), learned to play it too.

Suppose, I was to offer you $.65 for every dollar you have. You held out, like every good Monopoly player, for a better deal.

My next offer, is $.35, and while you don't understand it, it is an EXTREMELY lucatrative deal,, FOR YOU.

And while you do not accept, my next offer is $.16, and I am still offereing to make you a bundle.

How does all of this work? Simple.

I offerred for the dollar, when it was worth SOMETHING. Not much, but something. It devalued, and I made another offer. You could have made money on this on any offer made.

There is another player. In this case, the other player, is Uncle Funny (and the Court Jesters). They are printing play money like it is going out of style. And, for a while, it works.

Then all of the sudden, Baltic, startes to look good. Yes, it is a CHEAP property. But, Uncle Funny, has NO propoerty, and a rediculous amount of money. And, the board is SOLD.

And EVERY property owner has a money printing press. No, it is NOT Monopoly, as WE learned it. That was a game.

Like this Monopoly game, There is now NO basis for the value of a dollar.

This is NOT a Monopoly game. This is REAL LIFE. But Uncle Funny, and the Court Jesters, are playing a game they can not win.

Money, based on NOTHING, makes it worthless. Any property you land on becomes an expense.

Our dollar is worth maybe, and I am being generous,,, maybe $06.

Gee, thanks,

Let's all take our hat off,

and bow,

to Uncle Funny, and the Court Jesters.
