I wonder why people don't make the connection that inflation is up and the credit market is in tatters largely because the federal government-- already the largest debtor in the world before Bush took office-- has doubled its demand for credit. m What did they think was going to happen? In a supply-and-demand market, more demand raises the price and reduces the available supply. Oh, wait, the Bushies aren't real capitalists though-- they think the rules don't apply to them.
