The relatively well off people who own decent cars already will go scronge for a clunker to trade in because they are due for a new car anyway.

The poor that really need a decent car that runs better can not participate, but their taxes too will pay for those who could take advantage.

Plus Bottom line: There is no advantage given to American companies and autos.
It is time that our Country and its people buy American again, even if it costs a little more.
Assembled doesn't mean manufactured...where were the parts made and where do the profits go?

Historically, repeatedly in the rise and decline of all of the great economic powers there were 6 things that always occurred:
1. One country secured an economic advantage, rather product or trade route, and applied that advantage to become a major economic power.
2. A second country learned (diffusion of technology) what that advantage was and copied it, becoming even more competitive then the economic power.
3. The second country, now being the more competitive, imported their product into the major economic power's markets. The people bought the import because it was good quality and cost less. The citizen's purchases of imports over domestic products led directly to their own country's economic decline.
4. The governments of the economic power were rigid, hamstrung and unable to respond to protect their own markets.
5. Once on the decline the armies of the economic power were always fully deployed in the furthest reaches of the empire.
6. There was always a moral decline in the people's behavior in the economic power. Decadence...perversion whatever.

Buy American!!! GM is American. Ford is American.
The military industrial complex is a perversion of what we have become great at producing.
We have given away almost all of the domestic industries we were great in. It is time we reclaimed some of them, and bought American even if we pay a little more. It is either that, or collectively become poorer until the dollar collapses and the importers move on to other markets, and we are forced to produce for ourselves anyway. ]]> Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:44:41 -0400

Good Article.
Economics is a wonderful science that mixes all inputs into the equation to arrive at probable outcomes. Behavioral science, quantitative analysis, supply and demand, government action, (for some) history, and even the weather is used to help determine the probable outcomes.

I agree with CautiousInv...: : "In many ways economists are simply hired guns and are used to justify policy rather than create policy.

In the case of government, Keynesians are always prepared to support additional fiscal spending........ "

So many of the economists are not as deep original thinkers as they would like others to believe. They subscribe to one pattern of thought and wrap around the horn on that model, rather then create original models that will evolve and adapt to current environments. I feel that they set models in stone and do not adjust the weight of the inputs well enough to reflect changing realities. Example Greenspan raised interest rates in the face of rising energy costs. By not weighing the energy costs he had to reverse his steps backwards several times and far past the start point.
Politician's like to use economists to justify their knee jerk reactions. They are both on the same payroll and are selling the same soap on the same erroneous path to mediocrity. I would suggest Austrian Free Market Economics to open both of their minds more.


Historically, repeatedly in the rise and decline of all of the great economic powers there were 6 things that always occurred:
1. One country secured and economic advantage, rather product or trade route, and applied that advantage to become a major economic power.

The current powers that be will do everything in their power to keep gold/silver from being seen as traditional money, which it is. They will manipulate scarce commodity real gold/silver prices downward by shorting the commodity using unlimited printable paper money in paper markets. That is the only game they can play to try to prop up the dollar and maintain their advantage - smoke and mirrors.

Why do you suppose that most of the bailout money is unaccountable in a giant furball of finance? Is one reason that the banking minions (goldman sachs, etc.) acted on the government's behalf shorting gold and silver to prop up the dollar, and lost money as a result and want to be made whole? Would the secrecy of this allow the Federal Reserve to blackmail the government to secure more power? Are these billions upon billions of dollars sitting there waiting for a collapse, so that elite banking interests can buy up assets into whatever game comes next, thereby securing their own perpetual power for generations?

When some country suggests the game changes to non-dollar oil trade the US will go to war to continue the game. ie. Iraq & Iran oil bourse.
When an equal power calls BS then the game will change and the US will be in deep chaos to scramble for a new game, but no one will want to play a rigged game... and the USA could fall hard. China knows this and they are buying 80 billion in gold. Has China's communist central planning commission ever done anything other than look out for China? They know they have been caught up in the banker's game and are working to come out on top. The Chinese are good people.

The international banking scheme (Bilderberg) will be fine having planned many many years in advance for every eventuality, every war, every rise, and every fall. A shift from Trilateralist thought to New World Order thought and populaces would be screaming for a one world government and one world currency to come save them. Central planning at a whole new level with the banking powers at the helm.
Governments will go to any length to preserve themselves, control the populace, and maintain order. That is what makes them so dangerous. Today's veteran patriot could easily become tomorrow’s dissident. Elite Gated communities takes on a whole new level and meaning as well. ]]> Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:26:25 -0400

If you bought ETF gold you are just trading in dollars in and out to the paper market gold price. You don't own gold. Federal Reserve Notes are not scarce, they print them by the trillions, but gold and silver is a precious metal and real money, and all governments know it.
I own gold and silver, for the same reason governments do: Wealth autonomy to transition into whatever comes.

BTW: The Federal Reserve System is the biggest scam ever created in the history of man. They are not authorized by the Constitution of the USA. They are a privately owned quasi-government institution that acts independently of government. You pay interest to them on every Federal Reserve Note (dollar) ever created. ]]> Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:57:06 -0400

China knows this and they are buying 80 billion in gold. Has China's communist central planning commission ever done anything other than look out for China? They know they have been caught up in the banker's game and are working to come out on top. The Chinese are good people.

The international banking scheme (Bilderberg) will be fine having planned many many years in advance for every eventuality, every war, every rise, and every fall. A shift from Trilateralist thought to New World Order thought and populaces would be screaming for a one world government and one world currency to come save them. Central planning at a whole new level with the banking powers at the helm.
Governments will go to any length to preserve themselves, control the populace, and maintain order. That is what makes them so dangerous. Today's veteran patriot could easily become tomorrow’s dissident. Elite Gated communities takes on a whole new level and meaning as well.

BTW: The Federal Reserve System is the biggest scam ever created in the history of man. They are not authorized by the Constitution of the USA. They are a privately owned quasi-government institution that acts independently of government. You pay interest to them on every Federal Reserve Note (dollar) ever created. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/148786-casinos-the-many-advantages-of-vegas?source=feed#comment-589635 589635 The Caesars Palace poker room is a classic though, and there is not a more suitable place then Vegas at the RIO for the WSOP.]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:34:44 -0400 The Caesars Palace poker room is a classic though, and there is not a more suitable place then Vegas at the RIO for the WSOP.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/148677-facebook-leaves-myspace-in-the-dust-in-the-u-s?source=feed#comment-589628 589628 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:25:47 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/148868-gold-euro-connection-another-nail-in-the-usd-coffin?source=feed#comment-589614 589614 There are many factors that could affect gold and silver prices moving forward:

1. Technology and industry creating specific usage additional demand for all metals, especially as we seek less oil dependence.

2. Mining output of silver, although increasing, barely able to meet current demand. While China produces more gold, it has also encouraged their own populace to buy it, and China’s government is buying 80 billion in gold for national reserves. They know they are caught up in the dollar currency game and seek to come out on top.

3. International Trade debt, Government debt. Corporate debt, and last but not least Consumer DEBT!!!! > Collapse? Where does the relief come from? Who taxes who and gets what from the other at what cost?
I saw a guy at the WSOP making huge houses of cards. How often do they fall under any kind of stress? First one part crashes and then the rest crash too.

4. International consumer purchasing increases for both gold and silver jewelry, and due to wealth protection of monetary risk aversion. If any serious confidence hic-ups occur anywhere, there will be a world-wide collective mad dash to acquire precious metals, a serious a bum rush to gold and silver.
The reason Obama got the job is because of our people's faith in his confidence, but deep down we all know what a bugger bear we have created for poor him to solve. I hope he can maintain the clarity of mind and the leadership presence to pull it off. He is a busy man, but I would like to talk with him, smoke a bowl.

5. There is never peace in the valley. It doesn't have to be "win or die" even though the world is getting smaller and it feels like we are all in each other's back yard.
a. The Korean peninsula. Will North Korea continue to sell arms to our potential adversaries, and saber rattle us into a conflict?
We have sold more weapons then they have though... so who is the culprit? Were our actions more sound, or predictable?
b. Iraq, will we leave when the time comes? They are more than tired of us, but Sunni (smarter minority) vs. Shia (herdish majority) tribalism conflict runs deep and chaos could erupt as we leave. Saudi Arabia supports the Sunni's and that is the only reason we are still there. Honestly, a democracy was the last thing they needed there. It was social Darwinism that had put the Sunnis on top.
Tito held Yugoslavia together until his death, the same strength in leadership is required in Iraq. The Mid-Eastern culture respects a charismatic person, not a faceless rule of democratic vote. For a hundred generations they have been conditioned to listen to their clerics and follow their guidance in all things.
c. Afghanistan religious tribalism; backward, zealous and unconquered as far back as anyone can say. We are going to exhaust our country's military and financial reserves trying to change that rock? For what? A foothold in the region? Who cares? The culture clash, both ours and theirs, in the Mid-East is beyond our comprehension and insurmountable. Need I give examples?
d. Who's next? Where is the next zealous nut ball who wants to poke the bear's nose, or catch the eagle's eye? That Dragon is starting to stand up too. “Who is that trying to start an oil bourse, or talking about the dollar no longer being the world reserve currency? That would upset the whole applecart. We can have none of that. Do we fight you, or maybe we can bribe you to keep our game intact?”
Restraint is a good course of action if you can get away with it. Our foreign relations should resemble a pot luck dinner. In that everyone brings some good food, all eat, share some pleasant conversation, let the kids play, play some music, and then sincerely wish everyone well and leave until next time. They don't reveal, or ask us to solve their problems. We don't pry into their affairs, and we certainly don't offer to beat up their neighbors. Respect all around is maintained.

How is it that Pakistan, North Korea, India, and that little fire plug country of Israel have nuclear weapons? That was some how more allowable, or is it that we are running nothing but our mouths these days?

Yes, we have bought too many F-22s that have critical flight failures every 2 hours. The military industrial complex tail can stop wagging the dog anytime.
Let us take all the profit out of the criminal justice system, and the military mission and requirements.
If we have to have a draft then that should tell us that the empire BS has gone too far.
Any military action not in our own direct defense is a waste of finite resources, and plays on our people's patriotism.

6. Wherever the economic situation becomes dire, there will be domestic unrest, crime and suffering that might lead to detention centers to control large groups of dissidents. Civil rights are lost as governments preserve themselves at any cost, maintain order, and control the populace. Isn't that what makes them so dangerous?
"Gated community" takes on a whole new level and meaning in an extremely security conscious world.
In preventing terrorism it becomes easy to justify the personal RFID chip and total immersion onto the grid giving one access to health, financial, travel passport, employment, and all government services. Never forget that the access to the grid can be switched off at the government's desire and that the RFID comes with the GPS locator beacon for them to come find you.
I now can hear you say "Not me! I won't allow them to RFID me!!!" Well, if that is so then that takes you off the grid and you are going to need plenty of gold and silver where you are going.

opinion & speculation: The current powers that be will do everything in their power to keep gold/silver from being seen as traditional money, which it is. They will manipulate scarce commodity real gold/silver prices downward by shorting the commodity using unlimited printable paper money in paper markets. That is the only game they can play to try to prop up the dollar and maintain their advantage - smoke and mirrors.

Why do you suppose that most of the bailout money is unaccountable in a giant furball of finance? Is one reason that the banking minions (goldman sachs, etc.) acted on the government's behalf shorting gold and silver to prop up the dollar, and lost money as a result and want to be made whole? Would the secrecy of this allow the Federal Reserve to blackmail the government to secure more power? Are these billions upon billions of dollars sitting there waiting for a collapse, so that elite banking interests can buy up assets into whatever game comes next, thereby securing their own perpetual power for generations?

There are many eventualities that could cause gold and silver to rise moving forward. How much of this falls into the Bilderberg globalist plan of a New World Order?
Change is a certainty. Where that change will take you is the question.

Why do you suppose that most of the bailout money is unaccountable in a giant furball of finance? Is one reason that the banking minions (goldman sachs, etc.) acted on the government's behalf shorting gold and silver to prop up the dollar, and lost money as a result and want to be made whole? Would the secrecy of this allow the Federal Reserve to blackmail the government to secure more power? Are these billions upon billions of dollars sitting there waiting for a collapse, so that elite banking interests can buy up assets into whatever game comes next, thereby securing their own perpetual power for generations?

When some country suggests the game changes to non-dollar oil trade the US will go to war to continue the game. ie. Iraq & Iran oil bourse.
When an equal power calls BS then the game will change and the US will be in deep chaos to scramble for a new game, but no one will want to play a rigged game... and the USA could fall hard.

If you bought ETF gold you are just trading in dollars in and out to the paper market gold price. You don't own gold. Federal Reserve Notes are not scarce, they print them by the trillions, but gold and silver is a precious metal and real money, and all governments know it.
I own gold and silver, for the same reason government's do. Wealth autonomy to transition into whatever comes.

The reason that your local coin dealer can get a huge commission is because he knows where to buy / sell, and you don't. CNI has very good buy and sell prices. USAGold sells 1 % over spot.
In a barter system silver is a good bet, but so are cigerettes in the freezer, or anything you can produce ie. eggs.
If you need to relocate to a better existence nothing travels better as a major store of wealth than gold and it will convert to whatever currency you wish when you get there.
The problem lies in that the country is moving towards some form of fascism and how soon will it be that you can not travel without authorization. Sensor systems are so complex you will not be able to do anything without oversite. Add an RFID chip that would be your only way to access your finance, shopping, travel authorization, and medical services ability and you are totally on the grid. That same chip is a GPS beacon and can be turned on or off to deny you everything, or come find you. It will all be in Ma and Pa Middle America's best interest of course. The propaganda machine will be in overdrive to convince us all of that .]]> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:21:31 -0400 Those of you wanting to buy or sell gold and/or silver need to do better research as to where to do this.

Let me trend analysis further: The government could outlaw private metal ownership to make their game and currency exclusive. The populace tows the line for fear of detention and forfeiture of assets.
A government desiring to control a populace could use RFIDs, sensors, and data mining to monitor and control all community aspects of life from financial, medical, world-wide-web, and personal movement access or denial. With an RFID a good conforming citizen can be on the grid for ease and convenience in shopping and travel, even personal safety with an activated alarm.
That safety alarm is a double edged sword because it is a GPS beacon locator, and if for any reason a person were wanted they could be found. To be off the same RFID grid would deny you financial, medical, world-wide-web, and travel abilities.

"You want to be a good citizen don't you? Isn't it the best way to control the borders and immigration, and reduce medical and financial costs? Your personal file will help you get employment. Things will be better for you and your children."
"You work at ___ and you pay goes to ___. Your whole life is tied to our grid. Either you are with us you are against us. So how is it going to be Mr. Jones? No, well how about we shove it up your rear end and you better like it...understand?"

Jeff seems to have hit on a well hidden and dastardly masterminded method:
In order to ultimately keep metal prices suppressed - set up a precious metal ETF to siphon off physical demand for that metal; The ETF only buys the minimum reserves required; The ETF market reported values paper track the market, while the excess paper assets are used to short the same metal market.

Jeff can you give us ETFs that are not in the swindle mode? Perhaps CEF? I seem to recall they were audited. Either way though, as you point out, if one of them is turned out as a swindle, then they will all become the pariah.

Yellowbeard points out that the bluff will be called at the highest levels in order to upset the applecart. Countries moving away from passively keeping their own currency weak, for trade advantages, to an aggressive bugger thy neighbor’s currency.
Recently, Germany wants its custodial gold back from the USA. Lets see how that plays out.
The Sec of Treasury went hat in hand to the Chinese, while the President may have been seeking to buy gold from the Saudis.
Pres. Obama’s empathetic speech to the Moslem world was struck right on the humanistic chord, and showed brilliance and clarity of mind. When you live in a small yard it just doesn’t pay to run around kicking hornets’nests.

Ron Paul has the correct thought, position, and path on most issues.]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:25:00 -0400

When some suggest the game changes to non-dollar trade the US will go to war to continue the game. ie. Iraq, Iran.
When an equal power calls BS then the game will change and the US will be in deep chaos to scramble for a new game, but no one will want to play a rigged game... and we fall hard.]]> Tue, 26 May 2009 14:43:23 -0400

The day that the suppliers of the commodity decide they will not deliver at the paper market price, the game will change for the better.
With gold and silver real holdings you can sleep well at night knowing that it has no counter claim by anyone to your wealth and security, and it will convert to any currency in the world if need be.
The country should have been listening more closely to Ron Paul in all things for a very long time.
