According to the FRB, M2 was $5 Tr in 2000 ($9.5 Tr adjusted for inflation). US Per cap M2, adjusted for inflation was $33,757. So of the 4 times increase in M2 since 1946, 80 years ago, half has occurred since 2000, 26 years.

Downloaded From the: federal reserve bank of St. Louis. FYI. These individual graphs are public and can be found on-line at St. Louis Federal Reserve. I have collated the data here for comparison. M2 is money supply (paper and deposits). The Fed Balance sheet are the assets held by the Federal Reserve which are purchased through asset purchases. As numerous people have pointed out, M2 is slowly increasing (+6%= nominal GDP), and the Balance sheet is contracting. (Banks are buying US Treasuries off the balance sheet with their reserves.)

Iran needs only a 1,500 km range to strike Israel. Why has the regime developed 4,000 km range missiles that cover western Europe? For the same reason they are developing intercontinental ballistic missiles to cover North America.

As Russell Weigley, author "American Way of War," wrote: "Total War is what Americans feels most comfortable with since it has defined America's military tradition and produced our greatest successes, military wise, and greatest leaders: Revolutionary War (George Washington), Civil War (Gen. Grant), WW1 (Gen. Pershing) and WW2 (Gen. Eisenhower)." However, since 1945, atomic weapons have changed the ability for "Total War," but Operation Desert Storm (ODS) 1991 and the Falklands (UK 1982) have shown that maximum conventional effort with a military victory and a negotiated settlement provided for the best outcome.

You will not find this in ADP 3.0 or JP 3.0; Just a hand-wave about "Ends, Ways & Means." This is worth writing down: What is the political object? What kind of war is being fought? What is the enemy’s center of gravity? What are the measurable effects of the means employed? What are the indicators of success or failure? How is the war being communicated between the generals executing it and the political leaders directing it? And is the war moving toward its political purpose, or toward a point where success begins to undermine it?

@KatieMiller I'm from Levittown, NY. In 1946, the average homebuyer was 28 y/o with an average home price at $110,000 (in today’s dollars). Today the average homebuyer is 43 y/o with an average home price at $710,000. Cheap housing is how we got the Baby Boom.

Today in 1918, the German army breaks through the Allied lines on the Western Front. Berlin hopes its Spring Offensive or 'Kaiserschlacht' will force an end to the war in Europe before U.S. troops can enter the fight in large numbers. Despite initial success the push soon stalls

Feminism was funded to dismantle the family unit. If you look at the rise of feminism in our country, it also correlates to a decline in birth rates.

.@POTUS: "I think NATO's gone down a long way because they haven't — they should be helping with the strait. They get much of their energy from the Strait of Hormuz... a lot of Senators and Congressman — they're very upset with the fact that NATO has done nothing."

If the New York Times reported the war in 1944 as it’s reporting the war today. President Roosevelt continues to pursue a war for which he failed to prepare the United States. Though there have been some significant military achievements, especially in North Africa, U.S. forces remained bogged down in the Pacific and severely bloodied in strategically meaningless places like Tarawa and Guadalcanal. The Italian campaign has totally stalled, with an appalling loss of American life that will soon be surpassed by the utterly reckless and inevitably doomed invasion of France. Meanwhile, the innocent people of Japan and Germany continue to suffer. The damage to both their countries and the impact on the world economy is incalculable. The chances of a negotiated settlement appear more than ever remote. And all of this because the impressionable Roosevelt was duped into going to war by that master manipulator, Churchill.
