"The government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
To declare that the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes -- would bring terrible retribution."
Louis D. Brandeis
Today was another Comex options expiration for the precious metals. And it went as expected.
In a bit of good news, the GOP has pulled the plug on their pig of a healthcare plan, because that is what it what, despite all the obfuscating lipstick that they attempted to smear on it. It takes real talent to craft a plan that is worse than Obamacare, which was itself a recycled piece of flotsam from the Heritage Foundation.
Have a pleasant evening.
