Hillary’s Fees: $2,700 For A Question From A Child; $10,000 For A Family Photo
Now, thanks to the NYT article that gives the common people a glimpse into what exactly has been taking place within these fundraisers, we know that when Hillary arrived at the Rotschild mansion, she would “bask in an affectionate embrace as hosts try to limit confrontational engagements.
Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a backer of Democrats and a friend of the Clintons’, made sure attendees did not grill Mrs. Clinton at the $100,000-per-couple lamb dinner Mrs. Forester de Rothschild hosted under a tent on the lawn of her oceanfront Martha’s Vineyard mansion.
“I said, ‘Let’s make it a nice night for her and show her our love,’” Mrs. Forester de Rothschild said.

Silence of the lambs once she’s president….
Mike, Kocherlakota’s article suffered from hyperinflationary retardation. WTF? She (I assume its a she) wrote: “If cash were abolished, I would support the adoption of two complementary measures. First, instead of targeting a positive inflation rate, central banks could target true price stability by aiming to keep the level of prices constant over time. (To be clear, this would be disastrous unless cash were eliminated first.) Second, currency does provide a service beyond being a store of value and a medium of exchange: It’s anonymous and thus ensures the privacy of transactions. In its absence, governments would have to allow the private sector to offer alternatives with the same attractive features.”
My reponse: Hey Kocher, FIRST, if you want prices to be stable and constant, a silver dollar will do the trick, as it will buy the same amount of goods today as it did in 1935. And SECOND, there’s no way govts would EVER allow privacy and anonymity in the e-cash sector. Being able to see everyone’s manifests and instantly tax every single transaction, both public and private, is the govt’s wet dream. Grow up.”
