#1 "The Left likes inflation. It reduces the value of old money by printing lots of new money. Those richer who have it, lose the value of their money; those poorer who don’t have any money, suddenly do."

I expect more from a guy like VDH. This is a silly statement.

The poorer don't have any more money with inflation, they know it because they aren't stupid.

And the richer know very well how to protect themselves against inflation. They don't keep their assets in cash.

#2 If by "richer" VDH is referring to the Middle Class then he is making a valid point. The Middle Class does not have the ability to "buy a Congress Critter" to protect their wealth like the Truly Rich do.

#4 It does amuse me to see the words "The Left" and "happy" in the same sentence. This will never happen.

#6 Yes, a little short on the...finding of workable solutions. Perhaps it is the waters, or lack thereof. Some guys are finders. Some guys are fixers. I enjoy reading most of his stuff.

#7 its expeditionary forces taught a lesson about the evils of foreign interventions.

Well, foreign interventions ARE evil. We don't need any expeditionary forces. We defend the borders of other countries but cannot defend our own borders.

#8 Erudition about the past is no guarantee of insight about the future.

At best, it gives a false sense of security.
