Systematically our elected and non elected officials are dismanteling our economy and our nation. Something has to change or we rapidly will become a third world-beggar nation.

I find it incredibly disheartening to read that the FDIC is increasing staff at regional offices to deal with the onslaught of failing banks. If the banks are so foolish as to continue to lend predatorily in the subprime market, they deserve to lose their shirts. However, the cost to investors is enormous. Many of these investors in the banks have saved money for years.
The author is right on when he suggests that the real problem looming for the economy is deflation. Prices are not up right now as a result of high demand and low supply. Prices are higher because of increased costs in fuel. Eventually those prices will drop, but the dollar will be staggeringly lower than it should.
