Two states I will never, ever live in, let alone visit.

California and Michigan.

Cap'n, if I haven't already said it, keep up the good blog work. As a certified "old guy" I like the energy you bring to the internet.

Anyway, whether or not this is also accepted into the "chart" competition, you really need to put this St. Louis Fed chart up for everyone to gaze at.

It's the annual % change in money supply each year from 1910-present. Even if you are not a monetarist, it's scary stuff.

Stay sane.

Michigan. Proudly not the home of Senator Franken. ;)

Anon,

Touche.

Franken sucks. A friend put it this way "A loud mouth dick."

And I'm inclined to permit the use of such vulgarities in that it isn't rude, just accurate.

"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things: One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love." -- Butch Hancock

That quote really has nothing to do with the discussion, but it sounds vaguely similar to the other quotes so far and it sure is pithy.
