I'm still waiting for the collapse that was to happen during the summer of 2010.
What exactly would constitute an economic collapse? These guys never say!
Actually, the way it works as first everything plunges in the deflationary stroke, then everything goes up in the inflationary stroke. Right now, all the markets are being manipulated. The total rise in the stock market in the past seven years has come from the FED’s balance sheet. Right now they aren’t adding any new money, but they are reinvesting the bonds that have “bought” as they come due. So the interest from those bonds is added to the balance sheet and the market. However, the real economy has been tanking, slowly up until now when it is starting to head down in earnest.
The USA won’t be destroyed by any bomb, missile, terrorist, or army. We’ll die by our own hands. One hand on the money machine pressing print, the other on the credit card pressing accept.
The good news for me is that Howard Ruff doesn’t know where I live anymore...lol.
Japan just announced negative rates yesterday, I believe.
Why not the USA?
It is coming.
Thanks for this piece. I could use some cheery news. :-)
I’M tired of end of world imminent stories.. IRan NOrth Korea Tehran all threaten life as we know it. Elderly , children and DemonCRATS most affected
I almost wish it would hurry up and come...we all know it IS coming.
We have our “leaders” to thank for this.
oh it’s coming, negative rates until 2017 then the freefall all blamed on Republicans.
Japan is in a deflationary spiral because it can't grow through one or both of the only two mechanisms that work: population growth and productivity growth.
With all due respect, I disagree.
It’s our fault. Over the years, we (the voters, taxpayers, and citizens), have failed to hold those we elect to office to a high enough standard.
After all, it is us to elect, and continue to re-elect, these same people, election cycle after election cycle.
Japan now uses more Depends than diapers.
Some towns don’t even have any school-age kids anymore.
Would negative interest rates boost the stock market?
If, in theory, banks began charging you money for having a savings account, wouldn’t you take your money and put it in mutual funds instead?
That’s right.
I agree. It is the fault of the moronic pinheads who elect and reelect these degenerate politicians of all stripes.
Doesn’t Schiff realize that the most important issue facing the nation is the figure of the Barbie doll?

Of course if the you know what really hits the you know what then banks aren’t safe either. In which case then we’re really in deep kimshee.
“Japan now uses more Depends than diapers.”
But this is Japan. It could be some sort of weird kinky sex thing of theirs. Lord only knows the things they dream up.
