- The reason it's natural for governments to engage in inflation
- and other activities that don't make sense, like war (which they
- have been doing since the beginning of history), is that government
- is outside of the marketplace, and is therefore out of control.
- The answer to this problem is to get every country to start cutting
- its spending across-the-board, and start paying off its debts.
- One or more countries have to take the lead in order for this to
- happen. The U.S.A. should assume this role immediately.
