Gold breached the $1,470 mark and silver topped $40.
Oil is trading around $111 and other commodities continue their ascent.
<sarcasm>But don’t worry. All of this inflation is transitory. Soon the Fukushima reactors will be as good as new, the wars in the middle east will be won and government budgets the world over will be balanced. Oh yeah, and Bernanke will be able unwind the tripling of the monetary base in about 15 minutes. Yay!! Free health care for everybody!</sarcasm>

Last week the Obama Administration took the United States to war against Libya without bothering to notify Congress, much less obtain a Constitutionally-mandated declaration of war. In the midst of our severe economic downturn, this misadventure has already cost us hundreds of millions of dollars and we can be sure the final price tag will be several times higher.

The unconstitutional war with Libya continues as its consequences slowly start to come in to focus.
President Obama has engaged in waging war on the nation of Libya. He has done this when Libya has not attacked and does not pose any direct threat to the United States. He has done so without the explicit approval of Congress. As a student of constitutional law, surely the president knows this is an impeachable offense. Even members of his own party are objecting to this action. As then Senator Barack Obama said in 2007:
The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation
There has been much talk over the past several days about setting up a ‘No-Fly Zone’ over Libya. However, what is the justification for such an action?
Setting up a no-fly zone is an act of war. It is not put in place simply by saying it is so. It involves bombing airstrips, anti-aircraft assets and radar stations. It also requires that we shoot down any aircraft that violate the no-fly zone. Each of these acts individually constitute an act of war. Collectively they are nothing less than an outright attack on the nation of Libya. Continue reading →
