How Markets Work in the Corporate State

Filed Under Economics, Federal Reserve, National | Leave a Comment

This British comedy skit explains pretty well how some markets work today. These are not free markets, but what can more accurately called the corporate state markets that have created most recently the mortgage fiasco and the dollar collapse that has contributed greatly to higher oil prices.
The ingredients are a government that spends uncontrollably on warfare, entitlements and subsidies, encouraging reckless monetary inflation (The FED), imprudent banking practices, speculation and malinvestment to create a false but always temporary sense of prosperity—a bubble that inevitably bursts. Their answer to the destruction caused by this fusion of corporate-government power is always the bailout by the taxpayers, another massive wealth redistribution by taxation and inflation. This is not free market capitalism folks.

Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk Column
May 19, 2008

This week, as the American economy continued to suffer the effects of big government, the House attempted to pass two multibillion dollar “emergency” spending bills, one for continued spending on the war in Iraq , and one increasing spending on domestic and international welfare programs. The plan was to pass these two bills and then send them to the president as one package. Even though the House failed to pass the war spending bill, opponents of the war should not be fooled into believing this vote signals a long term change in policy. At the end of the day, those favoring continued military occupation of Iraq will receive every penny they are requesting and more as long as they agree to dramatically increase domestic and international welfare spending as well.

Environmentalists’ Wild Predictions
By Walter E. Williams

Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, let’s look at some environmentalist predictions that they would prefer we forget.
At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.” C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, “The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed.” In 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore’s hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and “in the 1970s … hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death.” Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich’s predictions about England were gloomier: “If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.”
