      I.O.U.S.A.
      my wife and i saw the movie last night - my own bottom line about it is it will stimulate, finally, discussion of the problems so many of us have either been unaware of, or thought impossible to address

      surprising, to myself, was how hopeful the movie actually made me feel (along w/the panel discussion afterwards)

      I.O.U.S.A. Movie Is Well-Done and Informative
      my wife and i, born and raised americans by the way, saw the movie last night, great info and well done

      regardless of your position on any of the many critical issues brought up by the film, if people can start talking about the problems, actually admitting that they are there, there won't be any need for name calling

      the goal is to create better lives for ourselves and our families

      Goodbye Mr. Stagflation, Hello Mr. Recession
      it's difficult to see deflation when inflation's been crammed down our wallets for decades, but i think it's part of the boom bust cycle that apparently large money has learned to ride and push to extremes

      Inflation or Deflation?
      is it possible that both are used to advantage, as per thomas jefferson, circa late 1700's (ie, it must've not been a big secret back then either; or maybe it's more a secret now :-)

      "Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

      Forget $100 a Barrel - Oil Will Plummet to $30
      i think a lot of us knew back in the 70's the alternatives were there - whenever it became more than evident, the argument that changing would hurt jobs was used - now that's been removed by the very people using the arguement against us, the corp's

      i don't know how valid or correct the price levels you mention will or can be, but w/a viable alternative, no denying the potential for both price and power changes

      i'd begun to wonder, as many have, where the heck american gumption had gone; but we knew, it'd been bought by big money

      now the money's more on the other side of the argument

      nice to see it coming - i hope :-)

      A Stock Bottom Doesn't Mean the Bull Is Coming Back
      ps - i should add, if we can get enough of a correction down, a rally up of some significance would be more probable

      but hey, that's all rational talk :-)

      Pension Funds Double Down as Losses Mount
      on target: "...managers may be taking on excessive risk; a risk of further loss that many investors aren't prepared for. " -

      taxpayers should

      * force laws saying their pensions shouldn't be in anything other than treasuries -

      * that returns be factored as per the going interest rates -

      * and claim the same kind of leverage foreign countries supposedly have owning so many of our treasuries

      just an idea, own our own government ?

      The Last Days of the Long Investor?
      seems like someone (probably already has) will figure out how to trigure these programs in a direction that person can then profit from, even if short term

      wonder if this makes the ppt's job (job, what a misnomer :-) easier or harder!

      The Great Consumer Crash of 2009
      note: i shoulda added quotes for the key thought above, this is the author's words, well said; reminds me of thomas jefferson in the late 1700's (not exactly of course, but brings him to mind) :

      Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

      The Great Consumer Crash of 2009
      finished! - great recap and links!

      Key:
      My biggest concern is that our politician leaders and their cronies running our government will continue to try and reverse the normal capitalistic course of recession and expansion. Companies need to fail, housing needs to find its bottom based on supply, demand and price. Those who gambled must be allowed to lose and suffer the consequences. If the government attempts to shift the losses to those who lived lifestyles of thrift, an angry uprising will ensue.

      great points:
      The elimination of $2 trillion of household debt will lead to the closing of thousands of retail stores, strip malls, restaurants, and bank branches. There should be a lot of vacant buildings available in the next few years, and a few suspicious fires.

      Government unemployment figures have begun to skyrocket, while the true unadjusted unemployment figures point to a major recession. If the number of people who have given up looking for a job were included, the official 5.7% unemployment rate would jump to 14%.

      thanks james, great job

      The Great Consumer Crash of 2009
      almost 1/2 way through! - best part for me so far:

      "...The debt induced spending that occurred from 2001 until 2007 accounted for virtually all the GDP growth over this time. Without the mortgage equity withdrawal, the U.S. would have had less than 1% average GDP growth for the entire period."
