No more bailouts!!!

I'm quite sure the @#%&ing fools will bail them...any anybody else...out!  What difference does it make?

Fed ignores Congress.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-22/above-law-fed-ignores-congressional-deadline-fomc-minutes-leak-probe

Of course The Fed ignored Congress...everybody ignores Congress! 

Fed needs to keep on task.  It has many tasks, one central one is to facilitate the fleecing of its citizens.




Even Congress ignores Congress and everybody ignores the Constitution!

So, honestly...tell me how you think this will all work out?

BITS?

Hilarious.

CNS still thinks its odd that the Feds have frozen debt, how cute!  Like laws and truth matter, silly goose!  They're "The Fed's", all the truth belongs to them...and all your wealth!

Heh, I really like this idea.  And don't fret over the bank secrecy transaction tracking, people trying to get around the significant transaction reporting fail to realize years ago the Feds changed that to be in aggregate, so if you take out odd amounts over several days it will still trigger a report, so don't worry about that, do what you want to do and be glad.

 ::thumbsup::



There is a connection between all of the destruction being purposely done by the Progs on all fronts - economic, social, political, everything!

Trade defict was expected to be high ($40B) but we blew by it by #11.4B.  IIRC didn't the trade deficits go bonkers with a flood of imported goods right before the wheels started flying off the mortgage ponzi scheme in '08?

And all the (cough!) smart money left the casino long ago...mostly just those immaterial 401k's and related pension accounts trapped in the tar pits now...

This next round should really create more serfs and hammer more middle class folk...

I hear mortgages can be had for full equity, no money down!  Don't just sit there, get in hock up to your eyeballs!   ::whoohoo::

Heh, another good Peter Schiff post.

Asking Helicopter Ben to repent, heh, good try.

And the PTBs keep shelling out big bucks to hear the same old bullsh*t over and over again...just another way to reward the faithful in the oligarchy...while everybody else gets stepped on and ground deeper into the dust...

I find it ironic that the fiat-loathing ZHer's are condeming the demise of paper currency, and I do not understand why they fear to voice their main objection - that it would be easier to transtion a fiat system to a real value (commodities-gold,silver,etc) system than risk the chaos of trying to implement a digital-only system upon a largely unwilling populace now trapped into a state-controlled enterprise that would pose an irresistable target for hackers.  In the end we devolve into barter-world and the state or what is left of it is forced to go genocidal on huge segments of the populace or slink away and accept a smaller fiefdom than they had hoped for.  I guess the ZHer's strategy is hope they try it.  There is a certain appeal to thriving in chaos that they share, not that there is an absence of validity there...

Getting rid of cash will ENSURE the rise of bitcoin or something very  similar - and foreign exchanges to move dollars in and out of it.  Push hard enough and no one will even keep money state side.  I  mean they may get their way and have everything be electronic,  but it won't happen where their grubby little hands can get to it. An entire shadow banking industry will spring up.. controlled via encrypted communications.

Of course this will lead them to try and "shut down" the internet.. maybe by prohibitive taxes on each byte of data sent? And watch how that effects the economy...

It's getting harder to keep up with all the BS!

GDP shmeedeepee!   ::mooning::  It's all over-cooked sewage!

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-economy-likely-shrank-first-050330978.html

They recently announced they would double seasonally adjust GDP, because, well...sh*t, the model be fvcked up, youi know?

Pressure cook a turd...yeah, that's the ticket!   ::)

 ::cussing::  idiots!  And people yawn and say screw it anyway...

Schiff nailed it - "We prefer the ability to manipulate figures rather than allowing the figures to tell us things that we don't want to hear."

Bam!  End of story.

Well, not the end end...we're almost there...

And, use what you can while you can to obtain whatever you can for use/barter...because the direction we're going everything will be under state/crony control and good luck getting the right kind of goods then!

And look for this to be punished, after all...what does personal savings do for the economy, eh?

Debt freeze...90 days and counting...

“Because Congress has not yet acted to raise the debt limit,” Lew said in his March 13 letter, “the Treasury Department will have to employ further extraordinary measures to continue to finance the government on a temporary basis. Therefore, beginning on March 16, I plan to declare a ‘debt issuance suspension period’ with respect to investment of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and also suspend the daily reinvestment of Treasury securities held by the Government Securities Investment Fund and the Federal Employees’ Retirement System Thrift Savings Plan.”

Got that?

Once again, the MFM stooges have it wrong or refuse to publish the truth...

What's causing much of the consternation is fear that, like 1937, a desire to avoid bubbles and normalize rates will come too soon and plunge the economy back into a slump. The Fed took its short-term rates target down to zero amid the financial crisis and the Great Recession, and has been there since late 2008.

However, that recession officially ended in 2009, yet the central bank has not moved on policy. In addition to zero rates, it has boosted up its balance sheet to $4.5 trillion in a liquidity program whose effect has been to pump up the stock market by 220 percent.

Arone insists the 1937 versus 2015 comparison is not a valid one: Back then, consumer prices were falling and unemployment was rising, whereas the dynamic is the exact opposite now. The more relevant comparison, he said, would be 1999, where the Fed kept its foot on its pedal during the runaway dot-com bubble.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/102760074


What excrement!

First, the recession never ended...ask the millions left unemployed, ask the millions removed from the labor force participation calculations, ask the people who cooked the books to show bogus GDP, unemployment and growth numbers...and some prices have come down (oil, gas, PM's) but others people really need like beef, hogs and soybeans and ask any shopper if they are getting more of anything for a dollar than they were before Obama ran for office! 

And this stratospheric lunacy - "The Fed's exit from zero in 2015 will prove far less dramatic than in 1937: investors today have been raised on a dovish not a hawkish Fed; inflation is perceived to be under control, underscoring Fed credibility; and investor faith in economic recovery is bolstered by a virtuous cycle of rising housing activity, bank lending and small-business activity," Michael Hartnett, chief market strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said in a note that expresses the most optimistic aspects of Wall Street sentiment.

 ::hysterical::

Fed credibility?!?!?!   ::laughonfloor::

Housing still blows and the market values and sales levels are still well below pre-2008 levels, I do not know of any banks lending to people who could really put it to productive use unless they have money to begin with (everybody I know has been weening off of debt)...the rest of the swindle-racket with some low-income folk protected by the proglodyte pols and bureaucrats continues which ensures another wave of toxic waste taxpayers will get saddled with, so when the stock market bubble pops I think it should be worse than 2008.

 ::popcorn::

Those numbers depicting building permits are not housing starts or they would have stated as such, they are in fact just that building permits for upgrades, remodels etc.... Once again, they lie like the DemonRats they are. ::rockets::

Inflation is anything but under control. Ground beef continues it's climb in price sa does everything else. Mexifornia's command of all things chicken is boggling considering so many live outside the sh*t hole yet the market is doing everything in it's power to raise chickens according to progtard standards necessitating raising prices of both eggs and chickens.

How the hell can anyone take this govt's stats as truth? ::facepalm::

They are, in Pink Floydian lingo, just too damn comfortably numb, but events are about to blow that comfort part away...then the question will be who do the numbnuts blame?  Government or who the government tells them to blame.  SSDD
