The White House has delayed for at least a month the release of its mid-year budget review, the Associated Press reports. Conveniently, that's after Congress is scheduled to leave for recess. So just as the Obama administration embarks on a campaign to arm-twist Senators and Representatives to rush through (in three weeks!) health care legislation that would overhaul one-sixth of the nation's economy, the administration is delaying the release of a report that will highlight what a fiscal mess we're in.

Republican or Democrat- the only way out of the debt trap we are in is massive inflation. Obama's willing to print money and get the ball rolling, Republicans (not conservatives) are secretly grateful, the RINOs openly supportive.

In 2037 an ER visit will cost $100,000, a slice of pizza $5,000. In those days your $3,000 a month social security pension will get you a Coke and candy bar.

On the plus side we'll all be millionaires.
