The blogosphere has been a thorn in the side of blatant political propoganda for a few years now. Prior to the events of 2008, half of the shit that has transpired would have been considered the spectre of "moonbats and tinfoil hatters" as the knobs around here would label it. Now even the...

lol, more "massaged statistics at work".

That is exactly right. I said in 2008 that without that bullshit pledge to "save the education lending market", we would have seen real quickly just what a college education is "worth". i.e. without the government and its easy lending student loan market, the cost of many of these colleges...

It appears that they are taking the "transform the US into a third world country" route. Sort of a high end Mexico. Debase the dollar enough to attract more foreign interest to take this absurdly large (and mostly hidden) housing inventory off the market. They've already given up on saving...

I don't know why so many people on here can't comprehend exactly what you posted above. There is the endless (going on years now) disconnect about demand driven inflation versus currency debasement type of inflation. It's the same reason why all these guys who have argued that jumping into...

More USA Today tidbits: "A record 18.3% of the nation’s total personal income was a payment from the government for Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, unemployment benefits and other programs in 2010. Wages accounted for the lowest share of income — 51.0% — since the government...

Right, the old "IQ retort". Who is the guy who did the hack cut and paste job on this thread, instead of actually analyzing the original post? You hide behind alot of one liners and other troll gimmicks, sort of a smug, smart ass way of life for you. I just feel the need to call out...

Not even witty. Maybe you can get your neighbor, Gabfly to write copy for you.

No, I simply touched a nerve. You are making all this income, but spending all your time trolling on this site. Sure, makes sense.

Write some substantive retort or leave the conversation to the grown ups. Links to Krugman and a few poorly labelled graphs do nothing for your argument.

The fact that you are posting on this forum 24/7 leads me to believe that your "income" are a bunch of direct deposits from the Canadian government.

Mentioning Krugman in any adult discussion of this failed monetary policy is an immediate non-starter. Instead, why don't you simply address the points mentioned in the original article and the additional points made by myself and Hello. Linking to all these various articles does not make...

That pretty much sums it up. All of the evidence has suggested that public sector growth (in numbers) and wage inflation have been on a tear, not only in the past 10-20 years, but more acutely since Obama's been elected. (In the latter case, it's in the form of wage increases). So, yes, the...

Regardless of your rabid bullish sentiment, it's still been far, far better to just have been invested in physical gold and silver. You are your currency debasement ilk are the scum of the earth. Always barking about the stocks going higher while ignoring the fact that the currency part of...

Someone on another thread made a salient point that with the combination of ZIRP and a rising cost of living (most notably that whopper of gas prices over $4.00 nationally), it's compromised the ability of people to actually save for their precious housing market recovery. It's the whole yin...

If a company raises its prices, simply switch to a competitors product. This reflationary scam was telegraphed a few years ago, I'm certain that many of these companies bitching and whining about getting squeezed were hedged up the wazoo for what they knew was coming. So now they can play...

If memory serves, he sold the fund at the first opportunity during that 2008-09 collapse. Just like Fleckenstein bailout out early in the sharp drop during that brief period. More than anything these guys are marketing first, investor second, just like any other mutual fund. The smarter...

Exactly right. 90% of the morons on ET are living in some deluded fantasy world. This place is really just catering to the lowest common denominator. Fucking idiots, plain and simple.

Exactly. The part about the effects of Quant Easing acting as an additional tax on the taxpayer are always overlooked. Perpetual ZIRP combined with a higher cost of living are a tremendous tax and that doesn't even include all of these various "lifestyle taxes" that crop up every few years...

They are completely incapable of thinking and planing even a year into the future. Everything is decided upon in this makeshift, haphazard manner, always for some political talking points. It's been a disaster in the making for a long time now, but they've become completely placated by the...
