He's the crank. I guess he doesn't understand that Obama's party, Democrats still control the Senate and controlled the entire congress the first two years Obama was in office. They could have and did pass anything they wanted which turned out to only be Obamacare apparently. Obama has not passed a budget since he has been in office! Hard to believe, isn't it, but it's true. I can't remember this ever happening under any POTUS. But let's blame the Republicans because we think it's kewl to be a liberal? Blocking more of Obama's outrageous spending and pissing away money to buy huimself votes is all that's holding things together. Without Republicans doing that, it would have already crashed. I just hope they can hold out until we can get Obama out of office. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Quoting: taniatarn “Let’s be blunt and acknowledge the biggest threat to the world’s biggest economy are the cranks and crazies that have taken over the Republican Party,” Swan said in a speech in Sydney today. “Global markets are nervously watching the positioning of hardline elements of the Republican Party for signs that they will dangerously block reasonable attempts at compromise.” [link to www.bloomberg.com] And, we care what an Anti-Market Socialist, minor functionary in another country cares, WHY??? Perhaps Comrade Swan should focus his attentions on problems AT HOME? Got $300 Billion ChinaBucks? |

The flaw in this thinking (and even I as a communist have enough nouse to empathise with businesmen) is that tax monies are better spent stimulating spending (as is traditionally done by Democrats who prefer to regulate banks) than bailing out unregulated banks and crooked money pools (invariably deregulated by the conservative zeal for free markets (which are never really free as we have seen with deregulated hanky panky)).

Bunch of evil lunatics. Its one thing borrowing to spend on maintaining the momentum of capital through the consumer sector. Its another borrowing to clean up the mess created by conservative deregulation of financial services. Conservatives have been bleating on about deregulation for decades, haranguing and abusing social democrats into adopting these policies by all manner of political intrigue. They have the cheek of calling these Social democrats Marxists for their fiscal interventionism and like spoilt brats everywhere, refuse to accept culpability for the mountain of debt their deregulating tactics have lumbered the West with. Let these morons back into office and these bailouts will assume epic proportions in the decades to come. Guaranteed. As usual, these bums will wash their hands of their cockups. |

Now, Harvard economists stated that printing more money (making it worth less) and having a bull market - does not create jobs, and Obozo spent 5 trillion dollars and borrowed some of it from China, who is now buying up U.S. Bonds. It does not work, because you can not compete with the rest of the world. So you make less, and the price of goods come down. What was wrong in 1832, when a loaf of bread was a dime.

Argentina reneged on paying its debt to the big banking interests over 10 years, and has now voluntarily shut itself off from borrowing from outsiders. That and no one in their right mind who isn't Argentinian would loan a nickel to them. Think that country has ended up on the high side? Fuck, no. Their economy is beginning to tank big time. So bad that it's now illegal for anyone in Argentina to report the real rate of inflation. Their Big Brother government also has started cracking down on people who transfer money outside the country, or buy things that don't originate from Argentina. That POS country is ordering that all credit card transactions be closely monitored by banks to ensure that no one is breaking the law.
