Title: Re: 20 Shocking Numbers of the Past Four Years Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/21/12 at 21:51:14 5 million is the number of personal bankruptcy filings since September 2008. The number of bachelor's degrees awarded from 2008 to 2011 is just slightly more, at 5.2 million. ( Do try to read it like a Brit, mate) So, what theyre sayin is, I think, all but 200,000 of them what graduated with a Bachelors degree has done had to declare bankruptcy, is it? Ohh, my,, that isnt good,, that isnt good at all.. I suppose it'd be fair to say 'avin a Bachelors degree just dont pay.. ehh? |

Title: Re: 20 Shocking Numbers of the Past Four Years Post by justin_o_guy2 on 09/21/12 at 21:55:19 $1.2 trillion is the increase in excess reserves banks hold at the Federal Reserve. This is why massive money printing hasn't led to massive inflation -- yet. Nooo,, thats One of the reasons. Another reason is all the dollars held by other countries because they need them to buy & sell on the world stage. OIl is traded in Dollars. Iraq & Libya had each announced plans to stop doing that & suddenly, they were Bad & needed invaded. Wait till China & others come waltzing in with our "Mortgage Papers" & demand payment. They will "Buy", with our Fed Bonds, whatever they want & Then, That $$$ will be loosed into the economy, diluting the pool of dollars, which IS inflating the $$$ supply, & that, dear friends, IS inflation. |

Does anyone grasp the gravity of that? If its not a bit confusing, that the FED is buying the debt, if that doesnt make ya go, Whaaat? Huhh? then you dont understand how important it is, |

Yes it is inflation - and we need it, bad. We have deflation in durable goods and inflation in consumables. We could use inflation all the way around. Listen inflation doesn't hurt anyone except those that have liquid assets ... like as in cash. Wages adjust ... so does most other forms of assets ... in fact look for a nice old bike ... made in the 80's, like our savage. you dont see one in complete running shape for under 1500 do you ... as it so happens @ that price the yearly depreciation with normal use seems to be right about equal to the gain from inflation ... Houses, land, and many many hard assets tend to keep right along with inflation. Vehicles will drop till they reach that plateau ... Ask anyone about the 80's ... they buy a house and seem to be getting crushed under the payments ... 2-3 years go by and they downright feel their house was cheap and the payments ae very affordable. The miracle called inflation baby. Of course Mitt romney wants deflation, cos he's hidden his $$$ in swiss banks where they dont pay you interest, they charge you for keeping their mouth shut ... so inflation is awful for him. Cool.

Absolute, based in fact, truth about HOW the federal reserve works, what it does, & how it damages us, Henry Ford Quotes It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

There are underlying assumptions, with the damage you theorise there is enough of them to rival the encyclopaedia brittanica. In a math text book there is enough to fill a few lines of text that increase in complexity as the problems increase in complexity. Example Sq root of 4 = + or - 2. Assumptions for that - none required. vs this - Theorem 21 of geometry: The angle between chord and tangent = angle in the alternate segment. Oooo nice theorem, except it assumes you are talking about a circle - not an ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, cardiode, involute or a (pholeum) folium of descartes all of which have chords and tangents. Enough pre conditions to choke a horse my friend ... the monetary system and the feds meddling etc etc etc all can cause economic collapse ... and if your loaf of bread cost a wheel barrow full of $$$ who would be the worst off or best off ... all of it is dependent on many many assumptions and pre conditions. Why do people go to gold when there is an economic collpse - that makes the least sense ... ok when you consider than historically there was the gold standard ... it sorta made sense ... however when we do have a collapse now gold will be as worthless as the wheel barrow full of cash ... cos you can eat neither ... You can feed $$$ to a goat and then kill the goat and eat that, but you have to have a goat to start with. Cool. srinath. |

I am saying that its factual too, except so many many things had to happen just the right way ... Like have you ever seen an auto or worse a bike accident that you cant imagine how the rider walked away ... or someone die in what seemed like a simple accident ... That is a classic case of what could happen. Many many moving parts, and if you get it just right you dont damage much, if you get it just wrong you damage a lot. Cool. Srinath. |
