This moron could not get it right while working with Greenspan and has been totally wrong on his own.
These smart ass professors have very little real world experiences and are totally out of touch with the realities of Joe 6 pack.
This guy is a total derelict when it comes to rational prudent financial politicies. you and i did not vote for this hired gunslinger. He needs to be fired immediately and replaced with someone that understands that leveraging up with more debt to solve a solvency crisis does not work.]]> Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:28:56 -0500 Watching Bernanke's tesitimony in front of the senate just confirms his arrogance that he thinks he is so smart and right.

It's all debt and it has to be paid back unless it is defaulted on.

Whether it be household debt, state and federal debt, financial debt we are levered in all aspects of this economy except corp debt.
Household debt to disposable income is off record highs. In 2008 it was 138%, in 1990 it was 90% and lower than that in the 1980's.

The govt aling with every special interest is making all efforts to prop up asset prices expecially house prices. House prices busted this country along with the lax fraudulent lending that has just started up again with the corrupt FHA.

Entitlement programs will have to be cut and you know what that means....means testing. You save make rational financial decisions you pay for the derelict homedebtor sheeple.

Polticians suck....all of them. What an arrogant group totally out of touch with the big squeeze across america as in health insurance /costs, property taxes, utility/energy and watch the big squeeze in food prices going forward. this will be crippling to our country and the sheeple are going to get real nasty when they are hungry.]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:01:35 -0500

ALL POLITICIANS HAVE FAILED US. Our system is so F%$# corrupt that we can now compare it to some of these thrd world dives. Politicians are bought and paid for by special interest. They are thumbing their nose at the middle class.

I never hear any of these bloodsuckers talk about cutting spending.

However we do have a bunch of F%$# crybabies looking for bail outs everytime they make derelict financial decision.
All these homedebtors want to stay in "their" home. I hate to break the news to thes efreeloaders they are NOT home owners. A home owner sacrifices to buy a house and EARNS THE RIGHT! Enuf of the damn handouts to these freeloaders. EARN IT THEN YOU ARE REWARDED.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:39:50 -0500

It never ends til the people throw'em out. unfortunately to many dolts out there cannot see the pillaging since it does not impact them...at least yet. Then all hell will break loose when everyone feels the pain. The American clueless sheeple will be protesting and rioting. It will be to late at this point.
I remember clearly the Asian crisis and how South Korea just got slaughtered. The currency and market were down like 90% but the South Korean people did not look for handouts. What they did was handover all their gold to finance the Govt back to solvency until it recovered in fairly short order.
The Americna people are bunch of spoiled rotten kids who want someone else to bail them out of thier derelict fnancial decisions.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:33:43 -0500 The FHA is being used by corrupt politicians to help their special interest buddies.

If you spend more how do you have additional funds to save for retirement. Owning a house should not be debt slavery. it is not worth it. Just ask all the homedebtors that bought into that propaganda in past 5 years. many wished they just rented now.
Do not listen to the scammers peddling real estate. These same scammers were saying just a few years ago it was a great time to buy and sell real estate. LOL!!!!

What is important is the economic climate of a region. If jobs and incomes are under pressure houses will trade down to ZERO!

Just look what is happening across parts of the mid-west as jobs and incomes have evaporated.

Now I think this will spread to the east and west coasts as our standard of living falls as does real incomes.]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:08:57 -0500

Asset prices have been overpriced for many years due to the backstop and easy money politicies of the government. With the rise of emerging economies around the world and their falling reliance of the USA, the government will lose its flexiblility to paper over our structural economic issues.

In addition, When oil and Nat gas were sky rocketing in price over $100 and $12 mcf I wrote an email to the Board of directors telling them that they should hedge some production something like 25-50% and let the rest float with the market.. My main reason was that the oil prices was above the inflation adjusted highs and the company just made a few large acquisitions and it would be prudent to lock in some production to pay down debt , continue the dividend and maybe even buy in a few shares of stock. i received some non-sense email back stating that investors wanted the oil price to float and that they should hedge against it if you wanted.
