Steve,

I’d love to see The Won™ on our money. They don’t call them “Dead Presidents” for nothing you know.

North Korea is no different than the Obama adminstration:

North Korea also ran a bone – chilling government campaign to encourage the people to eat grass for nutrition, because people were starving to death. Several human rights activists who escaped into other countries claim that North Korean vendors used to sell human cadaver parts in the market to cope with starvation but I cannot verify that claim.

In any case, comparing the North Korean slaves to their taller, yet genetically identical neighbors in South Korea should provide enough proof that capitalism works wonders but too much government control over the marketplace and paychecks creates a new sort of hell.

If only our elected representatives would get it, rather than drive us down the socialist road. We won’t end up like North Korea but I don’t want to become the tax happy, politically correct, nationalized Britain any time soon.

The wee despot is reading the Obamy playbook.

“Weeping and fighting between couples has not stopped anywhere. The atmosphere of the city is terrible now. . . . one elderly couple had killed themselves in North Hamgyong . . . . anxiety among local officials that the currency revaluation would provoke civil unrest.”

Who is John Galt?

This story is truly shocking. Absolutely bone chilling. A nightmare world become real, factual, and final . . . like a strong, real-life dose of “Atlas Shrugged.”

Terrifying. Confiscating private wealth across the board, on a national scale. In one fell swoop. As wicked as any redistributionist scheme concocted by Saul Alinsky and other Liberal heroes. More wicked even than their schemes to ration health care to seniors.

It also serves as a timely reminder of the risk inherent in all paper assets. As we watch the US dollar sinking like a stone on world markets. As we see the price of gold soaring over US$1,200 an ounce. Because this nightmare is revealed truth.

Petronius learned long ago: When Liberals come to power, there are few things you can count on in the New Normal. But chief among those things that prosper under Democrat regimes (aside from the robber gangs themselves) are precious metals, commodities, Swiss francs, and Swiss bonds.

Note that one of the very first measures undertaken by Nerobama and Tigellinus-Holder was the crack down on foreign bank accounts.

The democrats are a little more subtle in the confiscation of money in America. They call it taxes.

Democrats must be drooling at the prospects.

From the Times of London:

North Koreans in misery as cash is culled

By Richard Lloyd Parry

All cash transactions in North Korea have been frozen after the Government’s shock decision to revalue the won currency in an effort to crack down on the country’s burgeoning free-market economy…

See, that’s one way to get prices down!

Gotta nip that free market economy in the bud – look how much damage Obama says it’s caused the United States!
