Actually, you are the one who continually lumps legitimate criticism of his competence to lead with "birtherism". If not birtherism, it just falls into the blanket "racism" charge, just as Obama and his handlers have been doing since day one. Just as every person of color does when they...

When Jesse Jackson voiced his criticisms of George Bush, or for that matter any other white politician, is that considered racism? If a white student is denied admissions to a university, with the same or better grades and test scores than a black applicant who gains admission, is that...

It's all a gigantic set-up, a con of epic proportions. The dual-mandate allows a ridiculous amount of discretion and leeway in simply flooding liquidity into the system while also avoiding the repurcussions of such monetary folly. He's clearly fooled alot of people on this forum with this...

The best thing I ever did was buy the physical quite awhile ago. Since it's pretty damn illiquid to actually trade that back and forth, it's forced me to simply sit on it and benefit from the rally. Silver, no matter which chart I look at, is definitely in a parabolic phase, YET, it can't...

I'd attribute at least as much to the upcoming book and the fact that Trump's continued media storm relating to the topic were naturally driving traffic towards the book. I'm more inclined to believe that he has simply opened Pandora's Box by answering his critics. As this economy stalls out...

We already have high double digits unemployment (factoring in long term unemployed or those who have fallen off the registers). Aside from that point, you've just talked yourself into a corner. It's impossible to fulfill this dual mandate and instead we get the worst of both outcomes...

Completely agree. They put their lives on the line to defend the country and in the end they are being sacrificied once again to bailout the shadow banking system and the corrupt a-holes who leveraged the country to the hilt. Meanwhile, we have our own contingent of traitorous shit right on...

I've said it a zillion times. Oil from $10 in 1998 to $147 10 years later, back to $38 in 6 months and now upwards of $113 is NOT due to increasing demand as a primary cause. If this were the case we would have seen a much, much steadier increase in the price of oil with very sticky prices...

I admit that this problem or even this debate is mired in alot of uncertainty. Most importantly, it's an entirely new set of circumstances with which to speculate on the outcome. There are no clear cut historical episodes with which to form a confident opinion. If I had to go out on a limb...

Good call, I've been holding physical for awhile, but also playing with the ETF. Got completely shaken out of my ETF position, obviously folly on my part that Bullet Ben would ever make a hawkish insinuation. Now, it's off to the races again, unreal.

But at least Obama can count on the unconditional support of a few screwball Canucks that grace these forums.

Unfuckingreal. Do you not understand margin compression? i.e. businesses are absorbing the rising cost of inputs but due to the lack of purchasing power of the end buyer, they cannot pass along alot of these costs?

Exactly, was the criticism of George Bush by Jesse Jackson racist? If not, then why not?

LOL, Gabfly is so worked up that he can't even fathom that his initial statement was pure trolling at its finest. As if the fact that it took Obama three years to finally make an attempt to answer this whole debate. Now, it's simply racist to continue to explore the details behind this...

Racism is the biggest intellectual cop out ever invented. Why attribute disfavor due to incompetence, corruption or a flawed ideology, when you can simply throw it in the "racism" box.

Right, and you can't acknowledge that maybe, just maybe it has anything to do with dollar weakness and endless QE. You're the biggest ass clown shill on this board.

No, my contention is that this is secondary to all of the other impacts upon the price of oil. We also have to remember that the acceleration in the price of ALL commodities occurred following the 1st round of QE and that the language and tone of Bernanke's remarks only fuels further...

That was the same line of bullshit we heard throughout 2005-08..then we dropped about 75% in 6 months.

Hence the expression "socialize the losses, privatize the profits." It's been dead on accurate.

Yes, it's definitely a hybrid of crony capitalism/kleptocracy at the upper echelons of government/conglomerates bridged together thru the lobbyist network. To appease the masses (wards of the state), generous social welfare programs are expanded and extended. Likewise, public sector unions are...
