I think we've about got hyperinflation now.

i believe that this would be much more equitable, even people who earn illegal income(hence evade income taxes) would have to pay taxes when they spend that income. Consumption my increase, which will stimulate the economy, but may add inflationary pressure.

Then wouldn't you still need the IRS to enforce the sales tax?

the guy sitting in front of ron paul looked like he was the only guy who couldn't contain his laughter! Paulson looked like "oh shit!"

Things got out of hand when public teachers/police/firemen could no longer afford to live in the towns where they work. Bear Stearns collapsed! Housing won't correct itself until all the ARMS resets and all the foreclosures get flushed out of the system. Recession will last beyond 2010 when hyperinflation kicks in forcing home owners to sell.

I just saw a vid of people who were once middle class, living in their cars and trailers due to foreclosures. Peter Schiff, Ron Paul's economic advisor, said that California is only going to get worse. Due we have to go through the pain before people realize that people like Ron and Peter are right? Hopefully not.
