Longer term, a phased expiration AFTER the fed begins to raise rates because our economy is recovering is a good thing. But structurally, we must freeze military and discretionary spending immediately as in zero, no increase for five years.

Use this "crisis" to restructure Social Security (minimum age to draw ANY benefits, make it 72 for those born after 1960.) Same deal with Medicare, eliminate the idiotic free drug benefit or at least severely means test it.

But as your first act of raising taxes as we spiral downward, will only take this economy into a nose dive. ]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 13:21:05 -0400

Inflation doesn't rise 14% in amonth, it rises 0.09% a month, every month, for two or three years, and then you look back and that same suit that cost you $500, now costs you $950. That $1.29 dozen eggs costs $3.99 (CLM a recommendation there.)

Also, you will see beef inflating significantly this fall as the early culling due to grains incredible rise forced beef producers to push their product to market much earlier which will result in a scarcity of supply this fall. This will make support the higher overall inflation numbers which is ultimately why gold will start tracking back up toward the end of the year absent a SERIOUS intervention by the Fed, i..e a real interest rate increase of 1% point or more.

Does anyone have Volcker's number?]]> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 20:03:22 -0400

No, we have no need of an umbrella company like GM any longer who as recently as a year ago were pressing forward with their "big truck" idea as visionary. What a farce.

They've been outmanaged, outmaneuvered and simply pummeled by better foreign firms who focused on quality up and down the supply chain. When a new GM car is worth LESS than a 3 year old toyota equivalent, that says a hell of a lot about the public's perception of GM product.

No, not too big to fail, too stupid to survive. Pave over Detroit, (specifically its management) or better yet, wait a few more years and most of the workers will be in the south east working at Toyota and Hyundai plants. ]]> Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:18:41 -0400
