Here was my request for some info that should be widely available from any legit source because of what you claim:

And, as I've asked plenty of times before this, if it's such a known fact
then you shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever finding a legitimate site, or
facts, and data to establish what you're trying to imply.

And WTF do you do? Ya double-down on your nonsensical bullshit and reference MORE f-n blogs in some bizarro world way of trying to validate your endless, moronic and ideological thoughts and rants based upon OTHER bullshit blog rants!!

F-n surreal.

No what they had to roll was 5 billion, this was impetus for Immelt crying

wolf.

They had to roll 5 billion at that particular point, but their total short term borrowings (as reflected on their balance sheet) was $193 billion. That is the amount of debt they have to roll in the short term, by definition.

If you have a $5 bill due today, and $193 due over the next year - and do not have enough cash to cover the $193 nor do you expect to generate $193 in operating profits over the next year, you are going broke.

The hysteria was about now.

Maybe you just want to tell us again Today how yesterday's snow fall affected
house sales last year...


That was rich....

For a dipshit, you sure are the luckiest one ever. Hurricane Sandy, and now some major snowstorm and yet you NEVER lose power.

We couldn't be that lucky. My cousin that moved there to help with the Sandy recovery(against my advice, of course he now regrets)doesn't have power though.

But not you, let me guess...........you have a generator..............................................that runs on propane.

Don't know, or care, and as I've previously said I don't follow the number of sales of homes on a daily, or even weekly basis because it's pointless.

Oh, piled up in huge piles, so much that the city is panicking about spreading out the huge piles so when the snow melts it won't flood streets and be dangerous when the water refreezes at night and cause further damage to the streets and curb/storm intakes.
So, now after I've been paid to remove that snow from large areas or lots and pile it into massive piles, I get to move it into a bunch of spread out small piles, and get paid for it.

It is pretty trippy how debt and leverage control this country.

As Larry Summers said, you have bubbles or you have depression. Of course there is a third way, regulate the bankers in their pushing up commodity prices and let the markets be free. But then, you have to make sure QE gets into the hands of the people.

I would not take what Larry Summers says to the bank

My gosh, I actually truly feel sorry for you, I shouldn't considering the extent that you've gone to to annoy me, but I do.

BTW, I'm STILL waiting for YOUR charts, data points, links or graphs... (Hell will freeze over before we get them though...)

LOL, see what I mean? Again, I'm not implying ANYTHING, nor have I other than calling you outon your usual BS. FWIW, I think that it's a toss up between you being an idiot, or liar. You're actually pretty adept at both. If only there was a more productive way for you to utilize those traits.

Oh well, never mind, I don't really care, and I shouldn't have went along with your BS as much as I did, and any further responses to you is just continuing your antics and giving you a stage for it, which should be discouraged, not ENcouraged. I hope that you get rich doing what you're doing, I doubt it, but I guess that it's better than you robbing people with a gun.

There is no solution to this because recessions are a naturally occurring phenomenon. But they come and go, and they benefit people in the long term to save for worse times, take the Germans for example who don't blow bubbles although the wealth disparity is just a tad less than in the US. The US is next to go through that transformation and become a bigger nation of savers again.

It would be interesting if CP posts the times when inequality was at it's
greatest.

http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3629

Figure 3, its the best I could find. Rising from 1931 due to austerity measures until the recession of 1936-37 allowed Roosevelt to increase spending, enacted the WPA, SSA, and Wagner Act.

All fine and dandy until the deregulation boom started in the late 1970s, then trending upwards ever since. Trending upwards since 2009 due to the recovery...as it did in 2003, 1994, and 1982. You simply cannot look at a short time period and correlate the data to anything - there are other factors.

However, over the long term - there was a fundamental shift in the late 1930s through the late 1970s of a decline in inequality. This started with increasingly progressive tax rates, strengthened labor unions, and social programs.

This trend ended and was revered starting in the late 1970s - after a fundamental shift was undertaken regarding progressive income taxes, regulations, and weakening of labor unions. This trend has maintained an overall positive slope through 4 major recessions. The low level of inequality in the early 90s recession was much higher than the high level of inequality during the go-go mid 1980s. The low in inequality after the mid 90s recession was higher than any time during the 1980s and even the feel good Gulf War early 1990s. The low level of inequality after the "Great Recession" was barely lower than it was at the peak of the tech boom.

Look at the chart - it has two inflection points. What happened in the late 1930s and late 1970s that completely changed the slope of inequality? I have given my theories - what are yours?

42433   mell   2014 Feb 6, 2:09am  

Look, I am not advocating removing any safety nets here, neither am I putting myself into the Austrian corner (who started that anyways?), all I am saying I believe a nation must embrace capital formation and curb debt-driven spending and let interest rates adjust. And I am saying that logic defies the notion that printing money - even worse when injecting it at the top - increases the general state of any economy (same goes for permanent price controls). That's all. If that's Austrian, so be it.

No, they're not like a tornado, it takes deliberate actions on behalf of various people to make a recession.

My questions were in response to this remark by you:

mell says

If increasing the money supply would benefit everyone instead of just the
first-in-line receivers (banks, wealthy, connected), why don't they allow every
poor and middle-class schmuck to print their own money (you can even limit the
max. amount if you want to be fancy)?

A $17 trillion dollar economy doesn't run on 50 bucks, and acting as if it does is disingenuous, just as much as claiming that there's some ultimate and grand benefit to spending money first, when the process of the monetary system functions.

If you encourage people to take on more debt even for less interest by depressing rates, the economy will never be on sound footing. And as long as there is no fairness enforced, as long as bankers who committed clear cut fraud, can't recall where the 500 million in their untouchable (by law) customer accounts went, roam free or worse, continue to get million dollar bonuses and pay raises instead of being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, your only hope is that they get wiped out in the next recession and there are no grand solutions, certainly not QE. The people who are smart enough to save will likely diversify outside of US territory on such a negative outlook (which will hurt the economy further).

Is that not an asset swap? Yes, it artificially inflates bank reserves when they were never reserve restricted anyway.

I have a question, because I'm not certain on the exact mechanics of it all.

How did all the dollars in existence today, come into existence?

The USDollar is barely 100 years old, so that means at the turn of the 20th century, usdollars didn't exist. How did all of the dollars that exist today, enter circulation?

Yeah, well, you have to understand that Zionism is real. David Rockefeller
said there is a NWO. The capital, according to David Ben-Gurion, father of

Anything else? I can't prove the existence of God to anyone. He proves it to
his elect. As the Apostle Paul said:

LOL, you're consistant and persistant redundancy isn't to be admired or worn like a badge of honor. The NWO?

Yes, I think those calling for a more serious dollar devaluation were early, esp. since the race for debasement is joined by many countries and since there is international money flowing into the US mostly in real estate because they are afraid of their governments. But on the long run I see the dollar weakening and more and more trades being done outside of the petrodollar in alternative currencies. That's also why they need to continue tapering.

42450   sam1   2014 Feb 6, 3:25am  

The data displays what's known in statistics as heteroscedasticity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroscedasticity

Simple interpretation: some conservatives are devout Christians who don't drink very much, while those other conservatives who drink do so at higher consumption levels than the average, whereas liberals have more average consumption patterns.

I'd also guess that liberals tend to have more European drinking patterns, drinking wine regularly but moderately with their meals (as opposed to binge drinking). Most of the wine drinking in the US is in the blue states/counties.
