Much to my dismay, the Ron Paul blimp appears to be achieving its mission of corrupting economics in the minds of the youth. Its latest victim? USA Today, which is enthralled by my YouTube debates with Ron like a kitten staring at a shiny wristwatch. Sadly, USA Today did not quote my prior blog entry explaining why Ron’s wrong.

Now that Ron’s got everyone believing in carrying gold in their wallet, I’m receiving e-mails like this one:

Mr. Bernanke: I am so disappointed over the Fed dropping interest rates another quarter point. I am retired and have a large portion of my money in CD’s that have been paying me over 5%. Now, because you are responding to pressure from the idiots who got in big trouble with sub-prime mortgage lending, I have to suffer. I am to old to play the stock market anymore and you are hurting me financially. Yours, Mortimer Smith

I felt the same way as this emailer when I saw old Greenspan running things. I swore I’d fix his mess and show emotional indifference toward the fools who bought ugly houses. However, as I’ve learned from my monthly bridge games with the heads of the big banks, you’ve got to bet capital to be secure.

To communicate this message, I’ve decided we need something to supplement our awesome Consumer Information web page, so we’re launching a Ben Bernanke blimp fully equipped with a money press. It will fly all over the nation, especially over highly leveraged housing areas, and print and drop money. This will be a sign to the American people, that capital is something that you have to reach out and grab, not something you greedily hold onto. Besides, just think how dangerous it would be to drop gold from the sky.
