    2 million unemployed to stop receiving checks in december!!

    Hopefully, that was facetious. Maybe you haven't figured it out yet, but this is a structural change in employment/unemployment that will be with us for more than "just a little while longer or just till things get better".

    2 million unemployed to stop receiving checks in december!!

    It's come time for those who are chronically unemployed to start to rely on their own private networks (family, friends, etc) to get by. Otherwise, this bullshit of "just another one month or maybe three months of extensions" will be with us for the next twenty years.

    Julian Assange: Hero or Villain?

    Gimme a break with that line of shit. The reason why this Assange even remotely had a platform to disseminate the volumes of damaging data is because of the lack of transparency with which this government has operated for decades. The idea that there is some type of "process" whereby the...

    Obama declares the 'War on Terror' is over

    Why not flip your logic on its head. You honestly believe the mainstream media is giving you the real picture?

    Is GOOG a Short Here?

    To be specific, does anybody else here think GOOG will re-test that 450 area (minimally) in the next 6 months?

    Question for the Sarah Palin haters.

    I haven't read a word that douchebag has written in years. Even in the waning days of his Thunderdog alias, I could sense the senility creeping in.

    Question for the Sarah Palin haters.

    It's because she is afraid to make a clean break from the neo-con element of the party and, dare I say, take a stand against support for Israel. This is a very big difference between her ideology and that of Ron Paul, whom she is foolishly compared to quite often. FWIW, I'm a Libertarian...

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    Relative to the credit contraction in the economy from 2007 to present, the relatively minor drops in prices in certain sectors of the economy are nowhere near what they should be relative to, dare I say, hyperinflationary ascent in many costs over the past decade. I'll cite you two examples...

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    I'm far less guilty of cherry picking than our set of bureaucrats who substitute and adjust till the numbers suit their end goals. Nonetheless, I've actually gone to the trouble over the years of constructing a few inflation indicies for my own personal observation with many of the items that I...

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    Basically, the Fed has already decided that job growth is not possible, so they have instead targeted asset prices once again as a means to generate inflation. There is the type of inflation you have outlined and THEN there is currency debasement that leads to inflation, and that is far more...

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    An artful dodge, but a dodge nonetheless... My list of inflationary items wasn't just some "list of prices", it was a list of the very CORE items that any average Joe Blow would have to contend with. Furthermore, I want to re-iterate that asset price inflation is still inflation. This...

    If I were a lying, inflationista, douchebag, I'd be exhausted from spewing lies as well.

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    hey sjfan, I've given you a list of costs that increased dramatically from 2003-07, I'll put gasoline prices into utility costs to make it easier for you to digest. btw, I love your Fed speak about the prices of computers and detergent going down (btw, laundry detergent went up...

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    Tell us genius, what was 2008? Did it not occur immediately after the previous round of monetary hijinx? So, once again you are unable to connect the dots. Artificially depressed rates fueled massive misallocation of capital and resources, which in turned fueled the greatest housing bubble...

    Inflation? What inflation? Let's look at facts.

    41 million people on food stamps are your soup lines, but I digress... You epitomize the baby boomer generation of assholes. You'd rather live under a fantasy of propped up asset values and a make believe economy with crippling debt loads that will crush all future generations, just to eke...

    GM: Largest IPO or Largest Scam?

    I'd say in 3-5 years. We've only bought more time with trillions in backstops. Take those away and we're in for worse times than 2008.
