  • Bond Market Expects Inflation to Be Only 1.75%  [View article]
    The federal and non-federal debt is near (if not already) untenable.
    The total $11.9 Trillion Federal Debt per-capita is over 60% higher than it was after World War II.
    The total current $57 Trillion Nation-Wide has grown from 100% of GDP in year 1956 to over 420% of GDP today.
    Gold prices are a clue.
    Inflation is being reported at ZERO or less, but it's really much higher.
    Inflation calculations were modified in 1983 and 1998 to make inflation look less severe.
    ShadowStats.com shows different unemployment, inflation, debt, and other statistics, but they are considered suspect by many.
    Yet, more people are unemployed today than were unemployed during the Great Depression.
    Many stocks are only looking somewhat better only after laying off millions of workers.
    Yet, despite being told inflation is near ZERO, I have not seen the cost of living falling one bit; in fact many costs have been increasing significantly.

    At any rate, the voters have the government that they elect, and re-elect, and re-elect, . . . , at least, until repeatedly rewarding failure and these 10 abuses, and repeatedly rewaring incompetent, FOR-SALE, and corrupt incumbent politicians with cu$hy 85%-to-90% re-election rates finally becomes too painful; when enough Americans are bankrupt, jobless, homeless, and hungry?
