Everything is relative, and not all is as many would have you believe, assuming you haven't been keeping an eye on nearly every major trading partner of the U.S. manipulating the hell out of their own currencies to stave off their own economic implosions. In fact, this has 'allegedly' been...

The Sovereign Society Offshore A-Letter Monday, July 20, 2009 Financial “Hindsight” Set to Ruin Investors: The Inconvenient Difference between What the Fed Does and what the Media Says Dear A-Letter Reader, Hindsight’s a funny thing… I mean now, today, it seems painfully...

Because so many of the goods sold and consumed in the U.S.A., especially of the durable, expensive variety, such as cars, appliances, electronics, etc., are imported, debasing the dollar will turn large swaths of the country into impoverished regions resembling Calcutta. Brother, can you...

I could name any of a million or so potential candidates with the last name of "Bush," whether competent, or utterly incompetent, and even if not related to the Bush family, and you'd go all orgasmic like over your keyboard and vote for them. Ready? Mortimer Bush 2012 - vote for Mort or it...

Given that PIMCO, much like Goldman Sachs, has essentially become an ancillary branch of government, carrying out deeds in trade for blessed protection and ESA (extra special attention), I find this, at a minimum, interesting, and sure do hope you do, too...

Suing a bankrupt and INSOLVENT AIG, had the government not saved it with taxpayer money, wouldn't have been nearly as much fun or profitable for Goldman.

Does it feel like Rome while someone playeth the fiddle in here to anyone else?

Goldman Sachs will save the day. Isn't that why they're on the receiving end of the most favorable treatment and access any alleged democratic government has ever granted a "private" entity?

While I could not possibly disagree more vehemently with your position, thanks for answering my question in a relatively straightforward manner. GS is the poster child of the raping of middle American taxpayers, IMO, and this is exclusively due to their extremely nepotistic and corrupt...

They succeeded wonderfully with Palin trumping McCain in 08. Good luck sticking to that path, maximus gluttonous for punishment! Palin 2012!

Ahhhh, great points all around. I have less problem with private contracts between free and willing parties, however, no matter how bad the terms of the relationship or agreement, than I do with involuntary governmental (by definition, inefficient, onerous and dis-incentivizing) tariffs...

GOP strategy should be focused on running a very serious, very business minded (with credentials to match), socially moderate candidate for POTUS in 2012. Palin is none of those things. Not a one.

The Chinese, on an economic front only, are WAY more capitalistic than we are at present. And that's allowing them the significant demerit of central planning!!! That says mountains about the USofA.

Given all the ebullience and hard core talk and jawboning of fed officials that the recession is nary over, this action doesn't seem so convincing. I have my doubts that it's over. I have every bit as confident doubt that the economy is getting better, rather than worse. I see Goldman...

To anyone but Zhivodka, please feel free to add comments. Don't let his false claim of my being unclear in any of my assertions kill the thread, in this increasingly fascist-socialist ("soscist") union of ours. fascism - a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti)...

Pray tell.

Forget Chrysler, specifically, in this video. Assume he's making the same point about the interconnect between corporations and their debts and the ability of hedge funds to not only place bets and potentially profit handsomely on the survival of such companies, but to influence the outcome of...
