It appears there’s no stopping this runaway train! Our economy is a giant ponzi scheme and the word from the top is “It’s unstoppable, there’s no turning back and we’re gonna ride it to the end.” This morning I read the following statement in the New York Times: The Federal Reserve chairman, Ben S.

Across the room was another row of tables behind which people from around were seated. I was walking around the room, chit chatting [...] Like many, I’m breathing easier today.
