Marie Antoinette), have and have nots. &amp;nbsp;Inflation is the only enemy of the super rich and the inflation enemy of the super rich is a fair weather friend to the poor. If the system is to survive the rich companies and individuals will have to take a big hit of inflation. &amp;nbsp;That big hit is to keep interest rates and energy prices low while the people regain strength, confidence and cash flow. &amp;nbsp;The big question is if this can be accomplished without the loss of personal freedom that socialists always seem to attach to their version of supply side economics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When was the last time Government Officials took a pay cut to cover whatever recession they put us in??.....It always comes back to the taxpayer $$...to take care of everyone elses mistakes first, then if there&amp;#39;s any $$ left....you can feed your family &amp;amp; yourself.....but they make sure they are well fed &amp;amp; not go hungry &amp;amp; the economy doesn&amp;#39;t effect them in a financial way.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Free Country???...I&amp;#39;m no longer free to buy items or food since I can no longer afford it!!....I&amp;#39;m having to add the government to my budget!!...Needless to say, I don&amp;#39;t qualify for any of their assistance programs either.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is too easy and convenient to blame Bush/Cheny. &amp;nbsp;How did Barack make $4million in income this year when he was out campaigning? &amp;nbsp;I want to &amp;nbsp;know the secret so I can have that kind of passive income. &amp;nbsp;That should rouse some suspicion. &amp;nbsp;Don&amp;#39;t forget the Fannie/Freddie mess start back under Clintons regime.&lt;/p&gt;
