No bail-out

Letter (unpublished) to San Diego Union-Tribune:

No Bail-out! Why should we trust this "sky-is-falling" administration which previously duped America into a failed War on Terror while allowing little-to-no debate. Now we're to have a War on Falling Prices? Throwing more money at the "problem" is analogous to opening a new bar tab for a chronic drunk. Where does this $700 billion come from anyway? Each additional dollar created by the Fed devalues all existing dollars in circulation. What we really need is a War on Debt as government and citizens learn to live within their means.
