Government Bailouts By Design

Dave Gonigam — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:43:27 +0000

One question surrounding the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protest is “Why now?” In part, the “corruption” is complex and hard to articulate. Here’s one valiant attempt: This was a real sign seen recently at the OWS protests… “In some ways,” President Obama boldly stated to ABC newsmen yesterday, “they’re not that different from some of [...]

“What do we want?” “Whatever they have!” “And when do we want it?” “NOW!” Occupy Wall Street. Now here’s a movement any jilted dolt can get behind. An impromptu grievance swap meet for the fleeced and the scammed; it’s practically designed to attract them. Got a problem? Want something for free? Think “profit” is a [...]

Give Collapse a Chance

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:19:19 +0000

A big sell-off yesterday. The Dow down 283 points. The 10-year T-note yields only 1.87%. And the price of gold barely budged. In our opinion all three should be going down. Because the world is edging towards a global depression… …with the US consumer unable to spend… …the Chinese economy slowing down… …and Europe preparing [...]

From Bailouts to Bubbles in a Government-Centric America

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:53:57 +0000

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 119 points yesterday because, according to Bloomberg News, Ben Bernanke “avoided offering new growth plans.” The Dow continued plummeting another 300+ points today because President Obama is not doing enough to “create jobs” and the European Central Bank is not doing enough to prevent a Greek default. All-in, the [...]

The Corruption of Capitalism

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 05:44:10 +0000

From the early 1980s, debt-fueled consumption in the United States drove global economic growth and facilitated the spread of globalization. Economic policy was formulated based upon the belief that markets are most efficient when left unregulated. Exchange rates floated, massive trade imbalances were ignored, and for three decades the world was transformed by one economic [...]

Fed Vows to Maintain Public Financial Health

Bill Bonner — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:19:30 +0000

Extend and pretend… That's the government's way of handling the crisis. Extend credit and cash to those who don't deserve it. Then, pretend that everything is okay… But the problems don't go away. They just get stretched into the future… What did the feds do for GM? They took over the company. They extended cash [...]

The stock market is rolling over. The Dow went down 133 points yesterday. Gold gained $4. Stocks went down early in the summer. We thought that was the beginning of the big “second shock�? we've been waiting for. But we were wrong. The stock market rebounded. But now it is back at its July lows…and [...]

Indeed, even with the government's report declaring the cleanup 75% complete, the Gulf of Mexico recovery will be slow and laborious. And expensive… As of a few hours ago, there's enough fresh cement in the Macondo oil well to hold down the “mud�? that's keeping the oil beneath the seafloor. It's not the final step [...]

“You can take your loans and shove them,�? the Hungarian economic minister, György Matolcsy, did not say. But that's what he was thinking. Watch out. The Hungarians are trendsetters. They ran a budget deficit of 9% of GDP back in 2006. They got a $20 billion bailout in 2008 and have been living with austerity [...]
