GERMAN BOND AUCTION FAILS
January 13th, 2009I haven’t gotten around to writing my 2009-year-ahead post. In the interim, here’s what I wrote to a core Cryptogon supporter a few days ago: The phase we’re into now is akin to a car on an icy road that’s gone into a turn too fast. We’re in the “Oh shit” stage of the wreck. […]
Go East, Young Man? Californians Look for the Exit
January 13th, 2009Is it Atlas Shrugged, but with the exodus coming from the middle tiers, rather than the top? I’m really starting to wonder.
