Anyone remember the swine flu?

Soooo...the swine flu? Remember that? If I remember correctly it was supposed to shut down schools, shut down companies, kill people, disrupt the normal functioning of society, and upset the status quo. It was supposed to come in a wave and infect everyone in its path. We were told we needed the vaccine. We were told that the government was speculating about making the vaccine mandatory. Just think about that for a minute. The swine flu was a scare tactic, plain and simple. The government knew it was not going to amount to anything. Now because they made such a big deal about it they can claim victory over the swine flu. They can say, "hey, we beat the swine flu, why shouldn't we be able to run health care?". It was a scare tactic and we, here at Absolute Investments, knew it all along.

Here are two post where we called the governemnt's BS as early as September 2009....right when everyone was freaking out about it and rushing to the local pharmacy for an overpriced, flawed vaccine.

Just remember...don't always believe what the government tells you. There are alternative motives behind everything and saving your life from the swine flu was NOT the motive behind this scare.

Have a good day,

A small observation

Is it safe to say that this time it's different?

S&P 500 Inflation Adjusted Earnings

Unsustainable?

Does the government really believe that this kind of spending is sustainable? I have no idea. However, I know it is unsustainable. We are in for a deflation, period.

And they say the crisis is over?
