Nothing — absolutely nothing — is being done about the most dangerous decline of our currency since the Revolutionary War ... the most wanton Fed money printing in our lifetime ... and the biggest federal deficits of all time. Instead, our leaders are knowingly sentencing our once-great nation to an economic Armageddon of biblical proportions. Unless they make an abrupt, 180-degree turn, the American way of life will end. Nothing will ever be the same again." Video here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffneck Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Why would he want it to be the same in the future? with obese people everywhere stuffing their faces with poisonous junk foods , chemicals being sprayed everywhere , vaccinations that do more harm than good etc. The whole point of revolutions is to try and create a better life , not one that is same old.

blue skies Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 He has a blog www.moneyandmarkets.com mostly its about telling people how he "told you so" and how "if you pay me I will help you make $" . but I recon he may be correct about the dollar unless interest rates go up big time the USD in doomed.

silver surfer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 He's all a bit shouty for my taste. Here on the other hand is a nobel prize winning economist effectively staking his reputation that core inflation is not going to happen in the US http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/19/mind-changing-events/ And given that the UK is pursuing a tougher line than the US, core inflation is even less likely here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number79 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ridiculous anti-American post. Ignoring the greater positives for the lesser negatives. I agree, the longer the status quo holds out then the more likely it is to change, and that imo is a positive. I think that the Chinese will be a much better super power to live under when they get their turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've been hearing these folks going on about hyper-inflation for about 3 years now. So are wages going to hyper-inflate too? No of course not. Deflation all the way methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here on the other hand is a nobel prize winning economist effectively staking his reputation that core inflation is not going to happen in the US http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/19/mind-changing-events/ so what? Obama received the Nobel Peace Price in the same week that he increased the number of troops in Afghanistan! And given that the UK is pursuing a tougher line than the US, core inflation is even less likely here given that the UK gov't would rather impoverish its subjects than see banksters' bonuses go unpaid, inflation is a certainty and is happening now. and what 'tough line' are you on about anyway? tax receipts were only covering 55% of UK gov't expenditure, last time I heard, with the rest being printed.

Is this true? Is it this bad, that's surely unsustainable. A bit different from the everything is rosey picture we seem to be getting. The opposition's stop the cuts seems rather silly if 45% of spending is covered by borrowing/printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fflump Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Is this true? In a word. no. It is supposed to have reached its nadir in the current financial year at around 80%, and will improve next year. So 55% is just poppycock. Oh. And HM treasury does not print money to meet a deficit, it borrows the money. There is a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injin Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 More glib economic garbage. Why not speak in coherent senteces? Funny how you knew what I meant and it was bilge but it was also incoherent. I suppose 55% is near-enough the same as 80%? I've no idea bout any of that, I merely concisely pointed out that while the government doesn't print up the money, it just borrows it from someone else who just prints up the money - the real world result is exactly the same, though the thread is harder to follow for the hard of thinking. No doubt if you ask a friend to water down your whiskey it remains at full strength or something, but out here in reality that's not how stuff works.
