RCP Video ^ | 2-10-2013

......

"..... there is a global savings glut and a lot of it is corporations are saving. It's a lot of retained earnings just sitting there. Not quite sure why except that maybe they're making so much money they don't know what to do with it," economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said on ... MSNBC's weekend show "Up with Chris Hayes."

That know-nothing sob. I'll eat my slipper if he ran a business for a single day.

If I make $10 or $10 million, it is my own business, I'll do what ever I want to, and butt your nose out of my business.

The companies that are making money, and there is fewer now, are likely having trouble identifying a good investment because of this administration

unless these companies have a room full of dollars... they usually put their money at least in a bank. if they give it to a bank, the bank then loans it out... improve the local economy. if the company put its money in the markets, then it is directly helping the companies it has invested in.

why aren’t loud belly laughs the only response to these whack-a-doodles get? why give them the time of day??

they’re idiots

"Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money."

Or they are preparing for a near-future slowdown, thanks to the world debt being at a record peak. They intend to ride out the chaos that is about to be unleashed.

The POS dirtbag is worth $2.5 million as a single entity. He is his own business entity. I believe he should be taxed at 95% of his total assets. Nobody needs more than $125,000 to live out their life.

I have to disagree with you. I think Krugman is basically correct. The “companies” have laid off so many for so long that at some point as they sell same amount of widgets that they have to start making money.

Using the “Profits Soar As Wages Stagnate” argument is laughable.

Let me play CEO for a second. My company is amassing huge amounts of cash. We already pay a decent dividend yet our cash flow exceeds our business needs by a ton. What to do? Oh, I got it, I ignore every opportunity to put the money to work for the company and just let it lay around in our money bin so we can all dive into it as we chose to do. Somewhere back in business school I recall something called a risk reward matrix. Alas, not to worry, in the world of Krugman, we just don’t examine such things.

This guy puts the id in idiot.

When the currency is fiat and the bankers can create depressions just by altering the currency flow at their discretion, or create inflation by printing huge amounts of currency at will,

it’s easy for them to destroy everyone’s wealth. Millions today, kindling or toilet paper tomorrow.

You think they’re accumulating savings solely because they cut costs.. the point is they’re not reinvesting or exploring new avenues of business. They’re scared of what the government has become.. and what it will become. There is no longer a sense of fair play.. and this is intentional by the regime.
