Bernanke obviously is buying as much time as possible, while lying directly to congress and the American People, knowing that economy is getting worse, and not better, and using treasury purchases to support equity markets. In other words, instead of trying to address the core problems, he is...

I'm really not trying to be redundant, but back in the 70's, while we had cyclical recessions, we didn't have a massive and permanent structural change to the U.S. economy like we have in the last decade or so. In the 70s, people at factories, tool and die and machine shops, etc., may have been...

I am really disappointed with Obama, Congress and America's obsession with short term thinking, all of which summarize the "stimulus grand plan." There's nothing laying the seeds of true economic expansion with government transfer payments and the government picking winners and losers.

I do appreciate this thread, Brettman, but deep and persistent unemployment and contraction of credit may just make historical similarities to '75 irrelevant. We are still losing jobs that have gone offshore, for the most part permanently, and unemployment could easily reach 11% plus and...

All this inflation talk really assumes a robust global recovery. You're premature (at best). You're far, far worse (at worst).

We all know you were secretly cheering that Obama would call Kanye his "brutha," and that he'd call Taylor Swift a "ho." Ahh, but he didn't. He didn't. And you're crushed. Go ahead. Admit it.

Hyperinflation would crush corporate earnings and be ruinous to equity markets.

I won't vote for any DemocRAT or Nutcase Republican (all of them) again, but Republicans are DELUSIONAL if they don't wake up to the reality that the demographic trends in the U.S. are going to put them at real risk of extinction if they fail to dramatically evolve - really quickly. It's time...

Yawn. When the "No! I don't wanna' I don't wanna!" Republican whiners stop plunging in the polls, let us all know. jfuckette's problem is that he doesn't have any mirrors in his house, apparently. Hey jfuckette, good luck with Palin and Glenn Beck leading the GOP during this dynamic and...

It's all a confidence game, in reality. The economy is getting worse, not better. The unemployment rate is still rising, 24 to 30 million Americans are either jobless or underemployed, home foreclosures are running at an annualized rate of 3.7 million, commercial and office real estate is...
