    Wow.

    I love the Onion.

    If you throw money in the hole you will make Bernanke happy and Greespan will probably get aroused!

    If you throw money in the money hole Krugman will graciously let you hold the trophy he got for being the Nobel Laureate of Wackonomics.

    All the ego-driven interventionists will feel vindicated and the economic terrorists in charge of the unConstitutional coup will want to annoint you!

    Despite all the perversions sought by the above mentioned perverts - the fact of the matter is that these corrupt acts are simply materialism at its worst.

    A money hole might spare us inflation in a few years. Trillions would have to go.

    I thought this was going to be a Mad Money clip. I was flipping through the channels this evening and saw Kramer advocating bulldozing run down neighborhoods.

    That certainly fit the title of this article.

    I loved the fleeting reference to "The Soldier Hole." Yes, there's that, too.
