Get ready for hyperinflation since our financial institutions are following the South American model of how to handle a monetary crisis. Unfortunatelly I do not know a good way to insulate against hyperinflation.

Had he said "much of the public" he would have been closer to the truth. There are still many out here who recognize government is not the answer to all our problems and that throwing money at problems doesn't necessarily end them. We also recognize the blatant corruption that runs through government and are angered by the free spending cabal of criminals. Of course the have not's, connivers and those who game the system are all for spending money as long as it's yours and they are the recipients of it. And while that number is growing I'd like to think they are not the majority! I agree with much of Mr. Brewton’s article but disagree with one statement:
