Here comes the Inflation
 
Remember Weimar Germany? The Obama doctrine continues to hurt America.

Fed officials decided to go ahead with a much anticipated program, saying they will buy $600 billion of U.S. government debt over the next eight months.

The Obama Doctrine is unchanged from the Bush Doctrine, and neither has anything to do with inflation. They are terms relating to foreign policy. You are refering to Obama's economic policies.

No I'm speaking of the Obama Doctrine. Economics is part of his doctrine. Look at the czars and see the doctrine, domestically. Bowing to foriegn despots, and ignoring historical allies, is his foreign policy.

But it is only the beginning of the Obama Doctrine which is to destroy the United States. Remember he said the people of the US are enemies.

All well and nice, but use the correct terms.

30 seconds worth of Googling can save a lot of embarrassment.

That is why I asked you what you thought Bush doctrine meant in the other thread. Wiki is but one , but not the only opinion. In my mind Doctrine is not only foriegn policy in nature.

Just because you've changed the definition for yourself doesn't mean the definition has been changed.

Okay, and that is fine. Just know that *blank* Doctrine (Obama, Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Roosevelt, et al) is a foreign policy term used as such to compare and contrast with the Monroe Doctrine, which is exactly why the suffix 'doctrine' is attached. In short, doctrine = foreign policy in political lexicon.

So the Bush doctrine doesn't apply to domestic policy? Is that what you are saying?

I don't know if he is saying that. If he were, though, he would be correct.

Here comes the inflation! Is your wheel barrow ready to buy bread? Obama doctrine.

Repeat it until it's true?

Kind of hard to have inflation with a liquidity trap. Think Japan, not Germany.

Repeat until back on topic is a better descriptor. Yep, because Japan hasn't been in an inflation induced duldrum for the last 20 years, and Weimar ended much earlier. But at what cost?

I thought what I said was very topical. If any meaningful discussion is to occur, the correct terms must be used. Terms are static, not fluid, and they exist to provide common understanding.

I disagree with the Obama administrations continuation of the policies of big government and higher taxes. I do not think they will, however, result in six-digit bread prices.

Really? Fags used to be cigarettes. Did that change?

'Doctrine' used as terminology is not slang.
