"Prosperity," he declared, "is right around the corner."MarkJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-22008537045554962752009-05-29T09:51:54.053-04:002009-05-29T09:51:54.053-04:00the deepest recession since the 1930s I lived thro...<I>the deepest recession since the 1930s </I>I lived through the 1970s and was a working stiff during that time. Try selling this bill of goods to someone else. A more correct statement would be that it's the deepest recession since the last rea leftist was in office. Clinton, being a narcissistic pragmatist, doesn't count in this regard.physics geekhttp://physicsgeek.mu.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-52632288422330570182009-05-29T08:55:59.053-04:002009-05-29T08:55:59.053-04:00Silver linings as per MSNBC?
What do we expect ...Silver linings as per MSNBC? <br /><br />What do we expect from what is essentially a propaganda organ of the current administration? It falls in line with Obama's recent confirmation of coming "away from the brink". What a bunch of hacks.<br /><br />Markets don't go up in straight lines, neither do they come down in a straight line. <br /><br />Let's not repeat the mistakes of the late 1920s, where the central banks were too busy to suppress interest rates by flooding the market with treasuries, leading to the inevitable crash.<br /><br />Is it bothering anyone in the administration that eventually, the Chinese (or any other Treasury investor) will pick up on the fact that the value of treasuries is being artificially inflated? <br /><br />Eventually banks will be laden with worthless Treasuries, the Chinese will demand higher yields, and the spiral will continue.<br /><br />Gird your loins!John G.http://theforumblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-61876250789583399232009-05-29T08:52:08.028-04:002009-05-29T08:52:08.028-04:00It's 1984It's 1984banditnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-50076366752709188492009-05-29T06:55:06.881-04:002009-05-29T06:55:06.881-04:00Geez, McCain, you're up early.
