Wall Street learned very well. No risk, all profits, at the expense of the taxpayer.

Bottom line, you have not even read a synopsis of the stimulus bill. You know, it's not that complicated, wikipedia has a decent summary of it. So why don't you explain how the multiplier effect (another line of Keynesian bullshit) is going to work wonder for us all. I would like to see you...

A) Elitetrader, at one point, was a great resource and I am glad I found it. Besides feedback and info on the NYC prop shops, there have been many useful threads on trading strategies & ideas, including an amazing thread on tapereading back in the day which good traders used to pass around...

Keynes theory was created to justify endless debt creation by the governments. It's nonsense. If you cannot recognize, you're just deluding yourself. My view is realism and obviously, unlike you, I have done much more research into the actual government stimulus and how it is going to play...

He made an alias. Ironically, so did you. So what exactly is your point?

Well, Keynesian theory is a bunch of nonsense pushed by silly academics and funded by the international elite bankers. It's just an excuse for governments building up debt indefinitely & printing money. But that should be besides the point. Are you at all considering the TARP & TALF? Also...

Small amount of stimulus? It's in the trillions. Do you even realize that money supply has gone parabolic?

Uptick rule = inefficiency & opportunity for the daytrader.

It's not the tax structure, contrary to what you may think. It's the inflated cost of living, along with regulatory & legal costs, due to the financial system. 10% consumption tax would accomplish little, as no real manufacturing will ever come back to the US.

Try Westchester county. She chooses to live in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Westchester, one she obviously cannot afford.

1) Purchase, NY is not a major metropolitan city and she lives a good distance away from NYC. 2) She chooses to live in a very expensive suburb while there are plenty of good & affordable neighborhoods around close to her job. 3) She is a moron who refuses to face reality that she...

Must be how she earns 150k a year, cause it's pretty obvious she is semi-retarded.

Oh really? Why don't explain how different it is at its core? It is a very basic model that is used by every private central bank. That is not an opinion, that is reality. And Murray Rothbard is just a start on the topic. [B] Never said everything is fine with the current system...

Actually, it is very similar in nature and the US central bank model is based on the Bank of England. The first two American Central banks were almost an exact copy. [B] I did and it is nonsense. I'm guessing I was accurate in pinpointing that you are just an academic without a clue...

Once again, if the business is so dependent on credit just run its basic operations during the easy times, it deserves to fail during the hard times. If it is so dependent on credit, then its business model is garbage. Let me guess something, you're an academic and never spent any time in...

If you had any experience with start-up & venture funding, you would know that there is a world of investors out there who cater to that. If the idea is sound, it has a good chance of getting funded. Also, banks do not give unsecured loans to start ups, even during the good times. You needed...

I'm sorry but you are delusional & clueless. There is significant private equity & hard money lending available. But most of these small businesses are pure crap and were only able sustain themselves due to cheap credit. That game is over, so these piece of crap businesses have got to go...

Because your point is mostly rambling with nonsensical assumptions & conclusions. For the third time, please educate yourself about how the current monetary system functions. You have to understand the problem before you come up with solutions. The link I sent you is a good start. The...

Once again, I do not think you are aware of how the banking system of today operates and its history. You're confusing a lot of different financial mechanisms. Also, your assumptions about the actual start of the debt crisis are plain wrong. The primary trigger was the Bank of International...

I think you need to learn how the banking system works. You're forgetting that cheap loans turn into someone else's deposits. With high rates there are no cheap loans to go around like hotcakes, so debt generation slows down, although it is still active. If your "solution" is so dependent...
