You're projecting. The current "invaders " are not nearly so likely to suck you dry economically and to kill you and your culture as your ancestors were to kill the North American Indians and their culture.

As a rather extreme understatement, i would say the financial data of the U.S. Government is voluminous. Start here: federalreserve.gov which will give a broad overview. then proceed to federalreserve.gov/apps/fof which is the financial accounts guide. Then proceed to...

Possibly you are unaware of how the 1913 Federal Reserve was revamped by the banking acts of the 1930's . Admittedly, the 1913 version makes for a much more sinister Zeitgeist video.

The Fed has regular internal and external audits. It's transactions are part of the public record. The majority of its transactions are posted on the Internet in almost real time. A few are delayed. The same things can be said of Treasury transactions. If you want to see what specific issues...

Today's Federal Reserve is effectively an independently directed (By statute) arm of the Treasury. 100% of Federal Reserve net profits flow directly back to the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. Treasuries reserve account is a Federal Reserve Account. The Treasury and Fed coordinate on a daily basis...

Money speaks louder than politics.

This is a lovely example of how common wisdom, despite its irresistable, simplistic appeal, is often wrong. (Gore Vidal, as a matter of fact, said, "... common wisdom is almost always wrong.") When the people make choices based on truth they get what they deserve. When they base their...

It is unfortunate that the U.S. has a sociopathic narcissist as its leader. He will not listen to experts but instead will substitute his own flawed judgement. Other countries that have had mentally ill leaders in the past have suffered disastrous consequences. Let us hope we won't suffer the same.

Sometimes I am kinda dumb. Can you please explain this?

Thank you very much for posting this. A very nice contribution to ET indeed. The stuff that begins about 25.14 was most interesting to me. That's where Druckenmiller comments on his observations of how QE affected bond prices. His comments regarding the Greenspan Fed's lowering the Funds rate...

Thank you.

Not really, that jerk is constantly on my mind. What did we do to deserve him?

But how is this possible Here's is how: (from credit cards.com) $6,354 average balance on credit cards at the end of 2017, according to Experian. That is up 2.7 percent, from $6,188 at the end of 2016. In a fiat money regime, low interest rates can continue indefinitely. The economy can...

Are you wheelchair bound, because you seem to have no life at all outside of ET. If so, I am truly sorry.

I noticed you are using the future tense. Interesting. (actually, you've probably, none too cleverly, changed "could" to "would"; thus putting words in my mouth that I don't believe I have ever uttered. I'm usually very cautious, more so than you apparently, when using the future tense.) I...

Or a good 9th grade Civics Teacher!:D Why not turn over a new leaf and do like I do? Start posting of topics you have some knowledge of.

I agree. Although a Grand Jury can question a witness, this is not at all the same as cross examination by an attorney for the accused. Furthermore, you made an excellent point when you said Obstruction was not proven. All that was offered in Mueller's report was evidence of obstruction that...

If your software works with fewer bugs, if you deliver faster than the competition, if you make customer returns incredibly simple, if you respect your customers time more than your competitors do, if your pricing is more up front and honest, if your customers choose you over your competitors...

I can answer it. I have answered it. But why should I do it once more when Mueller laid out in great detail his finding of, as you put it, "probable cause obstruction." Not only that, but Mueller has made it perfectly clear why he did not consider indicting the President. He gave us his...

I think he believed he was only precluded from prosecuting the president. His investigation and resulting prosecutions put a number of people behind bars and there are more prosecutions to come and more going to jail. Curiously, they all seem to have been involved with Donald Trump in some way...
