B-Chan, you are MY kind of writer. I suspect you are Canadian, as I am, with the blind expression.
Now I will call you B-samma, instead of B-chan.
But I agree with your thesis.America has nothing to fear but fear itself.
And we have the MSM, the Dems, and every liberal's dog howling in the night that we are all gonna recede.
I believe the American (and for that matter, global) economy is stronger that the panic-seekers in the press would have us believe. Remember, making people think the economy is bad is very good in an election year. If you're a Democrat.
Typical hyperbolic B.S. coming from the dweebs of Wall Street, the limp-wristed pasty-faced quants who love to use testosterone-laden language so they can pretend that their paper games are manly.
They know they can’t drive a nail, much less drive a truck.
Thanks, but I can’t take credit for this one. The article was written by James H. Kunstler.
Sleaze bags handing out government guaranteed mortgages to non working (underemployed?) people is no recipe for economic growth.
On the other hand, a military action that will stabilize oil producing countries ultimately might put a lid on energy costs.
Maybe.
We shall see what happens.
The stooge writer is dutifully substituting what he’s been told must replace the democrat war disaster mantra, since the war went ahead and got fixed by the hard work and blood of real patriots. The democrats must have a major diversion, immediately! Heave the ‘journalists’ to create econominc panic as easily as they created economic paradise for the clintons / democrats to bask in.
Let me guess. Buy gold?
Kunstler is a pamphleteer at heart.
Actually the Democrats have proposed to save the economy by pumping money into ‘green collar’ jobs. Just on tonite’s debate, Her Thighness Hillary II proposed hiring ‘hundreds’ of young people to install these new fangled solar panels, thus saving us from global warming, and rescuing the economy. Why should ‘We The People; be frightened when we have leadership like that waiting in the wings?
I hate humor I have to think about.
Oh, well, when in trouble or in doubt, run in circles scream and shout!
We’re doombed!
Bump.
The very foundations of the financial infrastructure are under great stress and there is legitimate concern it may not hold.
Trust has been broken. Credit is no longer considered an asset.
Every balance sheet in the world is under revision...and it's NOT PRETTY.
HOw about drilling on our own land where we KNOW billions of BBL’s in proven reserves lie? ANWR, the Beaufirt and Chuchki Sea, off the coast of California, and in large parts of the Gulf which are presetnly off limits. Also, how about actually building neuclear plants, a technology we invented and is now being developed on a massive scale overseas, mostly supplied by our buddies the French and Japanese. On that note, how about investing in ‘clean coal’ since we have 1000 yeears+ supply of coal? Our coal business is prospering right now in part because EXPORTS have reached a record level, all due to our enviornmentally concious European friends buying it from us and burning it because it is their cheapest source of energy. The whole economic picture is bleak in large part because of enviromentalists and the Democrats and spineless Republicans who didn’t realize sending our wealth overseas to fuel our cars would eventually bankrupt our nation.
Let’s call it the MLK melt down.
Oh well, I lived through the Hoover Depression, I guess I can live through another one. Not to worry. Hard times build character.
And vote Ron Paul.
Easy does it. The machine is still intact and will remain intact.
Bushbot to the end, I love it. Seriously have you been reading anything about the economy or the world markets in the past year or two?
I have to agree with your observation there Mariner. There are too many here on the board that can not see the forest for the trees. Everything is a democrat/CLinton plot according the Mantra.
Sometimes things are what they are. There is a very real danger of the entire world global financial structure unwinding. As to the reasons why and who exactly is to blame can be sorted out by the book writers in the coming years.
We are on the verge of this generation's '29. Maybe it is happening, maybe it isn't. The extent won;t be known for a while yet. But to attribute the declining Asian Markets to some sort of Clintonian Master plot is laughable.
The prospect of a second Clinton presidency is not something I look forward to seeing. But come on folks, some of you are attributing more powers to the Clintons to affect things than the demo dweebs believe Rove can do...
Get used to living on 10K or less a year...
The global markets had hoped that they could decouple from the problems of the US markets, but that is not the case. That coupling and unwinding is what has to be of concern. The repetitive mantra of Clinton and MSM responsible for a breaking of the faith in the fiat money does not make it so...
