One is by the sword, the other is by debt."
John Quincy Adams
1735-1829
"Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act" - George Orwell
-In economics, the majority is always wrong.
John Kenneth Galbraith
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain
"The last duty of a central banker is to tell the public the truth."
Former Fed Governor Alan Blinder 1994
