Re: Ahhh the politics of fear

Ha! That's funny. Hmmm... This could become like the Hitler series. Shall we write the script for the rebuttal?

Say... Int. Bar at Davos... bankers / politicians / corporate execs laughing over the idea that somehow Americans would end up working for "the Chinese." Ha, ha, ha. One banker: "Well I can see the confusion. Chinese goods.... thinking... thinking... Holy shit someone in China has a job! They'll just never understand the New Economy." Hysterical laughter.

Re: Ahhh the politics of fear

The "New Economy" is fine so long as the cost of living de-flates, and taxes go UP to pay-down the deficits.

Let's review Starving Steve's plan to de-flate the U.S. cost-of-living: 1.) Take an axe to govn't and cut entire departments in the bureaucracy at all levels of government; 2.) Get rid of for-profit private healthcare in America and start a Canadian-style medicare programme for everyone, regardless of age; 3.) Institute a 7% federal sales tax on all consumption, except for food and basic necessities of life; 4.) Drill for oil everywhere, build atomic power plants everywhere, and build hydro-electric plants on every major river; 5.) Convert the vehicle fleet to natural gas or to diesel, or both; 6.) Re-build America's rail network, and increase funding to AMTRAC for passenger train service, across the continent, and to Canada and Mexico; 6.) Junk the entire curriculum in the U.S. public schools; 7.) Win the wars in the Middle-East by using more drones to destroy the enemy; 8.) Increase free-trade; 9.) Anchor the dollar to gold and go back to the Breton Woods Agreement with America's trading-partners and allies; 10.) Create shovel-ready jobs for the unemployed; 11.) Stop blaming China for this Great Recession; 12.) Create an economic plan for the entire continent, including Canada and Mexico and America.

And thanks to the supreme court, corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money on adds like this. Pretty high production values.

Wow.

Wow.

I was thinking of adding: 13.) Hiking interest rates to 3%real interest for savers, but maybe the ZIRP is working to adequately create the DE-flation in the U.S. economy that is desired. U.S. assets are DE-flating, and no-one has cash. Plus banks won't lend because they deposit all their free money (zero interest rate money) back with the Fed and earn 4%. This is nicely creating a ZERO VELOCITY OF MONEY SUPPLY. This I love! Anything multiplied by zero is ZERO. So, there is no money for anything to-day in America. ( Thank you, Mr. Bernanke! )

DE-flation, by cutting-off the money supply, is going to take-hold. LOVELY! The "Mad-Scientist" from Princeton may have a plan after all. As U.S. asset prices fall, everything DE-flates. LOVELY! This is an asset-driven DE-flation, although Bernanke tells the world that he wants inflation. It is thus, "a head-fake"....... Am I correct?

Everyone will starve in America except for the bankers who operate Fed-member banks. What a plan! And the Demos confirmed Bernanke's re-appointed to head the Fed.

Kids: write this down because this day-by-day history of the Great Recession is important. It's a head-fake for a de-flation by choking-off credit. And Bernanke tells the world that he wants a 4% inflation rate. So he prints more money, and the money is deposited at the Fed with a ZERO velocity. In other words, the money sits-idle in a Fed vault......... What a plan! I love it! The balls!

The only part that stinks is the bankers get richer and richer. But we do get the important job done: DE-flation.

So, if de-flation works like inflation worked, the U.S. would export de-flation to the entire world by consuming almost nothing from the world. This plan could work! And the U.S. dollar goes back to gold through a revival of the Breton Woods Agreement to settle trade imbalances with gold......... LOVELY!
