Which Way Wednesday: Sequestration Dead Ahead [View article]
Hey Phil, I saw that top chart in ZeroHedge a couple of days ago. Why no attribution? I know you are a lib and all that, but, I didn't think you went as far as taking anothers work/property and calling it your own. Expropriation of property is a communist thing, not democratic or favorable to the common man.
@neris- You do realize that the congress is composed of both the house and the senate? Don't you? Good lord, you have to be a product of public education.Are you aware that the senate is controlled by dems? That they have not had a budget for 3+ years? As far as republican talking points, I am as far from that as can be. I think that the republican leadership is a disgrace- Boehner and McConnell have both heard from me on this score. As far as Reagan not going against the budgets- I was around then- that is either a lie or factual error on your part (public education again rears it's ugly head).
Yes, I am. I think that you are smarter than you are letting on. I think you know that when a company eneters bankruptcy, it is not automatic liquidation but rather, reorganization. Some people would (and should) lose their jobs, but not 21 million. Surely you realize that the bondholders in some of these bailouts got screwed while the unions where given stolen property? Are you not aware of the stupid contracts that force automakers to pay people to show up and do nothing all day? We are all paying for this crap via higher costs for cars, higher taxes and higher real inflation than is being reported. Google the chrysler union workers filmed getting high on lunch break a few years ago.

I saw this same comment on ZeroHedge yesterday. I believe you have a different pseudonym on that site. Good luck with this. I really doubt that you'll get anywhere with this as TPTB would rather not go there...

You are an engineer. But, are you a competent engineer? It seems that your views all revolve around static and statist thought. Where you not exposed to any dynamics in any of your courses? Uh, you know, duh, that ah, maybe systems might actually have an ability to self correct and adjust? Have you ever actually been in a greenhouse? I would guess most people haven't. I have spent a fair amount of time in a commercial tomato growing one that is 10 acres under plexiglass. Guess what? Large growers actually burn oil, natgas, even timber around the clock not to heat them, but to pump in the co2 as a feedstock to magnify production. In fact, the excess heat is vented off. Note, I didn't boil alive in said greenhouse and am here to type this very criticism of your views. So yes, increased co2 will be taken up by increased plant growth- a carbon sink. A relatively cheap fix to prevent future flooding of subways would be to build localized floodwalls with removable gates that would be placed when flooding was predicted. We do that to protect towns here in the midwest. No question it would work in Manhattan and the surrounding area. No need for major drama and wailing, easy fix.

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that this was a good article. I would not worry too much about loonsong- he can stick to clear winners like LULU,AMZN, and LNKD- clear value plays all.
For Nomura, the most troubling part of today's NFP report is the 34K decline seen in retail jobs, which follows February's 29K decline. The firm doesn't think the losses, which contrast sharply with March's healthy same-store sales data, can be explained by weather, and thinks they make April 16's retail sales report especially important. Could high gas prices be responsible? [View news story]
Chief-yup- Obumba and the Bernanke are following their script. Everyone knows that energy and food price inputs don't belong in the inflation calculation; only housing costs. When housing reinflates, it will be given the boot and some other declining asset class will take it's place- sort of the inverse of the games played with the DJIA.
President Obama signs the payroll tax bill into law, which will extend payroll-tax cuts through the end of 2012, prolong extended unemployment benefits, and prevent a cut in pay for doctors who treat Medicare patients. The House and Senate passed the bill last week. [View news story]
