Stagflation II

Same kind of people run the country this time.  Only now we're bankrupt.  Sigh.  Read the whole thing.

During the 1970s, the toxic combination of a weak dollar, high tax rates, and onerous regulations introduced a new word into America's economic vocabulary: stagflation. Reaganomics banished this word to the history books. Now, President Obama and Fed Chairman Bernanke are teaming up to give stagflation another try. It is not likely that Americans will like it any more this time around than they did 40 years ago.
