While all eyes were focused today on the Fed's rate cut, the big news was the Fed's latest cockamamie effort to save world.

Indeed, just when you thought the insanity couldn't get crazier, the Fed announced it's now going to funnel a massive $120 billion of U.S. funds into Brazil, South Korea, Singapore, and Mexico.

Citizen's Savings & Loan Assn v. Topeka, 20 Wall (87 US) 655, 664 (1874):

"To lay, with one hand, the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes, is none the less robbery because it is done under the form of law and is called taxation. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms."
