Gotta love those nice government men, looking out for our best interests.
All nice government men around the world seem to be wearing a constant visage of fear at the moment.

Great interviews with such thoughtful, intuitive individuals.

This man doesn't want to be the leader of the free world who inspires individuals to go out and do great things. He wants to be and is the leader of a gang who wants to control every aspect of American life and the American economy just like any good street gang. He does this under the guise that "we are the government and we are here to help". The other party or "gang" is willing to give every job in this country away and give everything else to the military industrial complex in order to obtain funding to get re-elected. Both "gangs" bow to the will of the banks who own the Federal Reserve.
" The government that is big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have."
Translation of Obamaspeak:
"We own you. We own everything you earn. We own your employer. We own the world. We are done incurring debt on your ass because we own your offspring for at least the next seven generations to pay it off. At this point the only reason for increasing the debt beyond the impossible to pay point is to get even more people dependent on it. Now accept your responsibility to pay it off, shut up and hold still, this is gonna hurt. When the dollar crashes you will cry and beg for us to do something. We will. We will rule over you with a gun and a whip, to make sure this debt is serviced no matter what."
Well put.
Remember, slavery isn't bad as long as you are the one holding the whip.

Why is it that practically every time one of these plutocrats speaks into the camera, oil, silver, and gold soar? This must be that "confidence" thing they're always talking about.

Fuck me silly! So many missed opportunities! Don't need to buy physical for these occasions; just but some down on margin then cash out later that evening and have a bottle of good red wine..
Please, can we start alerts on ZH: bernak, speaks tomorrow - long silver and gold!
I don't dare buy on margin.
I don't care for Obama's TV appearences. I used to when Osama was killed and right done properly.
I don't play on the Internet for any other reason than to mine it for actionable news.
I do like what I have done so far with PM's Profit territory is sweet.
Me neither up until now...
I'd say if the PMs do get a good knock down in August, then would be the time to buy on margin (also stack physical as well)
Posted on www.dagongcredit.com 14 July 2011 :
Dagong Global Credit Rating Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dagong”) initially assigned the United States sovereign credit a rating of AA in July 2010. On November 3, 2010, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced the QE2 monetary policy, which aimed at stimulating the U.S. economy through issuing an excessive amount of U.S. dollars. Dagong saw this action as a sign of the collapse of the U.S. government’s ability to repay its debt and the drastic decline of its intention to repay, and therefore downgraded the U.S.’ credit rating to A+/negative on November 9, 2010. This surveillance research confirmed the opinion that the U.S. government’s actual ability to repay its debt would tend to continuously decline, as Dagong stated in the last rating report. Therefore, Dagong puts both local and foreign currency sovereign credit rating of the United States on the Negative Watch List for the following reasons:
1. The U.S. ideas and policies on state-management and economy, which violate the development patterns of credit economic society, will result in a long-term recession of its economy. The national policy of expanding the social credit demand to satisfy the capital expansion and consumption demand that the U.S. government has adopted for a long time as well as the mismatched development of the financial industry makes them the origin of the bubble economy and credit crisis; the industrial hallowing-out deprives the country of the wealth creation capability that supports its huge amount of debts; the global strategy becomes the driving force for increasingly additional debts; under its long-standing deficit policy, the federal government keeps increasing its debt ceiling; that it is difficult for the U.S. to repay its gigantic debts via self-created wealth causes the U.S. to resort to abnormal means to export debts. Though the Obama administration has realized the fore-said problems and begun to reform the economic growth model and cut the government deficit, yet the current political regime, long-standing economic features and the fact of insufficient financial resources will make it difficult for the reform to be effective in the short to medium term. The continuous economic recession in the U.S. triggered by the government’s insufficient economic management capability has shaken the economic basis of its national solvency...

context maybe different, but the truth remains the same. The state is the enemy.
so little integrity ..
Well he spoke the truth for about 2min.
We had 2 wars that weren't paid for (he leaves out Libya, which he started, which also isn't paid for), Medicare prescription drug benefit, stimulus (which contrary to his view was NOT required). He then goes on to say we must tax more to pay for this spending.
At no time has he said we should stop the spending.
He also left out the bank bailouts. Not mentioning that you taxpayers must pay for those GS, MS, JPM and AIG bonuses.
Keep the change Owebama. I use to think Bush was bad, Owebama makes Bush look fiscally prudent.
The debt talks are down to $1.4trillion in cuts. Even if we cut that much this year we'd STILL have a $200bn deficit. Yet they arguing about cuts over 10 years.
Since 1978 the debt ceiling was raised 51 times. Under Bush jr. it was raised 10 times.
The evidence of our singular paradigm disguised as two parties is pretty hard to ignore. Yet is continually by the herd. fubar.
According to the Congressional Research Service (4/29/2008). As of that date, the debt ceiling had been raised 5 times under Pres Bush (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007). It was probably raised in 2008, but on 1/20/2009, your lover boy took over and has been exceeding Pres Bush in accumulating more debt in 2.5 ys that Pres Bush did in 8 (including a recession from clinton) the 9/11 attack.
So do more research next time.

It is nonsense. You had the press secretary out there getting hammered and beat down, then you get soft ball bullshit questions to the president. Its so moronic, you pretty much have to come to your conclusion.
Not a single one question him on this 80% of the American public believes in a "balanced" approach, when something like 50% or more said to NOT increase the debt ceiling. That makes no sense.
@V in PA :
You got it.
Kia Nagata on "Why I quit my job" at CTV.
Excerpt:
"TV news is a curious medium. You don't always know whose interests are being served -- or ignored. Although bounded by certain federal regulations, most of what you see in a newscast is actually defined by an internal code -- an editorial tradition handed down from one generation to the next -- but the key is, it's self-enforced. Various industry associations hear complaints and can issue recommendations, or reward exemplary work with prizes. There are also watchdogs with varying degrees of clout. But these entities have no enforcement capacity. Underneath this lies the fact that information is a commodity, and private TV networks are supposed to make money. All stations, publicly funded or not, want to maintain or expand their viewership. This is what I'll call the elephant in the room.
Consider Fox News. What the Murdoch model demonstrated was that facts and truth could be replaced by ideology, with viewership and revenue going up. Simply put, you can tell less truth and make more money. When you have to balance the interests of your shareholders against the interests of the viewers you supposedly serve, the firewall between the boardroom and the newsroom becomes a very important bulwark indeed. CTV, in my experience, maintains high standards in factual accuracy. Its editorial staff is composed of fair-minded critical thinkers. But there is an underlying tension between "what the people want to see" and "the important stories we should be bringing to people." I remember as the latest takeover was all but finalized, Bellmedia executives came to talk about "growing eyeballs" in the "specialty channels." What they meant was, sports are profitable -- so as long they keep raking in cash, we can keep funding under-performing assets like our news division. (The same dynamic exists at the CBC, by the way.)
Certainly it would be a poor move, optics-wise, to make cuts in local news. For some reason job losses and factory closures in the media sector tend to generate a lot of coverage. But at every network, the bean counters are looking at a shrinking, aging audience (fixed incomes are harder to sell to advertisers) and there is intense pressure to keep the numbers up.
Human beings don't always like good nourishment. We seem to love white sugar, and unless we understand why we feel nauseated and disoriented after binging on sweets, we'll just keep going. People like low-nutrition TV, too. And that shapes the internal, self-regulated editorial culture of news.
Take newsroom aesthetics as an example. I admit felt a profound discomfort working in an industry that so casually sexualizes its workforce. Every hiring decision is scrutinized using a skewed, unspoken ratio of talent to attractiveness, where attractiveness often compensates for a glaring lack of other qualifications. The insecurity, self doubt, and body-image issues endured by otherwise confident, intelligent journalists would break your heart. And clearly there's a double standard, a split along gender lines. But in an environment where a lot of top executives are women, what I'm talking about applies to men as well. The idea has taken root that if the people reporting the news look like your family and neighbours, instead of Barbie and Ken, the station will lose viewers.
The problem with the CBC:
Aside from feeling sexually attracted to the people on screen, the target viewer, according to consultants, is also supposed to like easy stories that reinforce beliefs they already hold. This is where the public broadcaster is caught in a tough spot. CBC Television, post-Stursberg, is failing in two ways. Despite modest gains in certain markets, (and bigger gains for reality shows like Dragon's Den and Battle of the Blades) it's still largely failing to broadcast to the public. More damnably, the resulting strategy is now to compete with for-profit networks for the lowest hanging fruit. In this race to the bottom, the less time and money the CBC devotes to enterprise journalism, the less motivation there is for the private networks to maintain credibility by funding their own investigative teams. Even then, "consumer protection" content has largely replaced political accountability.
It's a vicious cycle, and it creates things like the *Kate and Will show. Wall-to-wall, breaking-news coverage of a stage-managed, spoon-fed celebrity visit, justified by the couple's symbolic relationship to a former colony, codified in a document most Canadians have never read (and one province has never signed). On a weekend where there was real news happening in Bangkok, Misrata, Athens, Washington, and around the world, what we saw instead was a breathless gaggle of normally credible journalists, gushing in live hit after live hit about how the prince is young and his wife is pretty. And the public broadcaster led the charge."

*Recent 'Royal' visit to Canada drowned out with 'laudatory-only' coverage practically all other stories and repeatedly time-trumped important national and international news on all Canuckian channels, even (especially?) the publicly owned CBC. Sad.
Speaking of GE and Immelt,did you know that GE paid ZERO corporate taxes last year?.
NONE....................
General Frigging Electric.
Is that INSANITY?...........plus Immelt got GE a a HUGE multi Billion dollar cut out of one of the QE packages?.
Why did Immelt leave his directorship of the N.Y. Federal Reserve Bank? Too busy 'advising' the Pres, or even running GE?
Because he is in Owhammy's inner cabal,(read: Suck buddy) and got GE saved by the bailout,(that was not needed)and is now sitting VERY rich and pretty,and is a member deluxe for GE's contributions to getting the Kenyan Ridgerunner elected.
With over a billion dollars already in owhammys re-election chest, and every conservative ON the planet running......he will be a shoe in, if most do not drop out.
Bachmann is getting crucified, Palin is also(never ending story), Ron Paul has zero chance, as does Palin......why even waste the time or money?.
The Mormon is wasting his time and money,Bachmann is the Dark Horse for the GOP.
Watch her...............
No, it's a good thing that companies don't pay taxes. The bad part is that right now, the playing field is uneven: large companies avoid taxes and disadvantaged small companies have to pay them.
large companies avoid taxes
They should be taxed at MAX rates, Why?,because their jobs are not in the US, their overseas.
They do not help America at all.
Small business, and in country comanies should get the breaks..................
The Intl concerns are screwing us to death.
When was the last time you called for tech support on 90% of all major Corporations products?.......and spoke with an American?.
I rest my case.
GE not paying any taxes whatsoever is one thing, but the reality that is left out in that statistic is that GE received a $1.1B tax "benefit" . . . we paid them $1.1B for not paying any taxes.

That's why Congress needs several thousand pages of loopholes to get any laws passed.
There is a simple solution:
At the beginning of each biennial Congress, the Rules Committee in each house meets and passes the rules for that biennial session, which are adopted by simple majority. If the Rules Committee writes a rule that to the effect that "No bill shall be brought to the floor for a vote whose number of printed letter sized pages exceeds point size of the typeface used for the text of the bill."
The practical impact being that if they use a 10-point font they have only 10-pages to work with, or 12 pages if they use a 12-point font. Then Congress wouldn't be able to include the loopholes and would be forced to submit them as stand alone legislation. Even the omnibus spending bills that comprise the federal budget could be reduced to 10 pages each, if Congress so chooses.

standing by to load up on physical silver as soon as it crosses the JPM share price. Watchin' waitin' anticipatin'
Keep talking Obama-rama-lama-ding-dong, please.
You waited too long.
Should have either loaded at 7.00 30 years ago or at 33.40 last week.
Me thinks you are a day trader thinking about a trigger point on some chart.
Yes, yes and yes I also get physical. I will shift my exposure accordingly, and the point where physical silver surpasses the JPM stock price is another significant entry point for me where I will reallocate resources because I believe a significant upward move would result.
30 years ago I didn't have a dime to my name. The carnage post 1970's was a real bitch. The carter years were a terrible time for student loans, car loans, mortgages, etc.
Anyways, I do resemble your remarks, sir! Today I'm focused on Aug 20 SLV calls and puts. Good luck to all of us. I think we want the same thing: gold and silver prices up to where they belong.
Hm, I think we understand each other quite well!
Good luck, good fortune in whatever you endeavor to do, this is the year to get it done.
I will allow that I thought Carter almost killed off the Patriot systems, hung the B1 out to dry and a number of very harmful things. Imagine that today these systems are fighting for our freedom quite well while Obama displaces Carter as the worst ever. I thought some of our other dead presidents had thier issues, however I'm not in a position to do much of anything other than to watch and marvel at the... excesses coming out of the current administration.
Silver beatdown in $.86?
I think parity is a good signal to watch for it.

Ron Paul has no chance..............very sorry to say.
Just look at the numbers he has garnered in the few Polls taken thus far.
My money is Bachmann, takes the nomination.(Hide and Watch)
Bachmann, the neocon Patriot Act paper-money sucking tax-compliance lawyer warmonger?
You're a fuckin' tool, then.
But please. Follow your directions. Nothing's going to get better until everything crashes anyway. Obama has done more for the freedom movement than anyone in recent history.
Destroy their jobs, put them out of their homes, stampede them one way and another, drum up wars to send their kids off to. If that doesn't wake them the fuck up, nothing will.
Maybe nothing will.
If Ron Paul has zero chance, this country is going to get what it deserves. Thanks for helping.
I bet you are both right, for the very reasons you elucidate here TaxSlave. The pol parties are about control and looting, not correcting things. This is why Paul will NOT get the nomination, that would be the end of business as usual. This country will get what it deserves.

The GOP around the table have voted to increase the debt ceiling at least 24 times in the past without question, and without strings... call it what it is... childish political grandstanding at a time when the country (and the world) needs adult leadership.
Pathetic, and predictable with Boehner and Canter at the helm.
Sure ....good idea lets take on more debt. How about raising the debt limit to eleventy trillion dollars?
may as well......
it's going to be raised until the whole thing blows chunks...
You can't turn this thing around now.

http://americaswatchtower.com/2011/01/04/then-and-now-barack-obama-on-raising-the-debt-ceiling/
that's all well and good,, but it's still cheap.
Cheap? I say this is priceless...solid fucking gold.
"America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
-Senator Barack Hussein Obama, 2008
(When voting AGAINST raising the debt ceiling.)
Perfect example of how pathetically short is the memory span of the general population, aided by the MSM, which also fails to remember these instances. Politicians count on this shit. They know they can say anything now that makes them look good, and absolutely fail to follow through, because no one in the media bothers to call them out on their bullshit and remind the general public that these fuckers are professional liars.
i find the term "general public" odious
They were actually pretty good:

No. No memory involved. The general population is well aware of the rules of the game and support them.
If you understand gangs, you understand the US.
In the political philosophy of the US, there is no opposition, only people fighting to implement the same project.
Gangs do not disagree on principles, they disagree on others doing the same as them.
The socalled opposition fight to be the one carrying out a project. Obama did not oppose debt ceiling rise. He just wanted to be the one operating the debt rise.
This is how it works in the US political philosophy. You can backpedal through times and find a large number of examples like Bush opposing a possible war against Iraq when he was in the opposition etc...
Gangs, if you understand them, you understand the US.
Crack, has a way of changing one's world view.................so I hear.
that's all well and good,, but it's still cheap.
There is not a one of them that hasn't been on all 4 sides of any issue and

Plus, even the pugs admit the "times" are much more serious NOW than then.
After all we were in the middle of the glorious pug economy is good times back then.
Your point (if I were to care) doesn't hold water NOW!
Many hundreds in congress voted against increases on principle... but only in protest, knowing that the votes were safely in place to pass the bill. There was never a threat of a shut down and the full faith and credit of the USA was never in question.
Your point is as useless as having Cantor at the negotiating table.
Ah, so voting against debt limit increases when it's "easy" (or when it's done by politicians you favor, presumably) is standing on principle or simply a "protest". But now, with multiple years of $1T-plus and once-again growing deficits with no end in sight it's somehow different. Right?
How much is Organizing for America paying for this tripe these days?
Wasn't defending anything, these are simply the facts... not that any of the ZH rabble care...
So, how do you feel about the GOP at the table who voted for increases 7 times in 8 years (with no strings attached) while Bush kept piling on debt to fight wars and give tax breaks to billionaires... that OK with you?
Sure you were - you were defending The Teleprompter in Training's opposition to debt ceiling increases when he was a Senator. But whatever, that politicians are liars and hyporcites is nothing new.
Bottom line is that every drunk has a moment of clarity. I don't care their motivations (which I don't doubt are less than pure) - this debt train-wreck needed to be stopped 10-years ago. Stop it now and we might avoid going off a cliff. If Johnny Orange and Mush Mouth Mitch are the ones who have to do it then so be it.
Bush's economic record sucked out loud and your hero is doing everything he can to make it look reasonable. Time for an intervention and for someone to take the kid's car-keys away before someone (else) gets killed.
Unless, that is, you're A-OK with The Teleprompter piling-up debt to fight wars and give tax breaks to GE and Goldman Sachs and to bail-out insolvent banks in the EU.
Ah, yes, the old 25 wrongs = 1 right argument.
You are a pretty pathetic government hack. How was it any different then? If they didn't raise the debt ceiling then the " full faith and credit " of the U.S. was in question. And your argument by default suggests that the president (your glorious leader) is a liar (which we all know he is) if he voted against it only because he was comfortable knowing it would pass.
(S)he could be another Austin, Tx trust funder that does not want the price of treasuries in said trust fund to decline, thus causing (s)he to get a fucking job. I wish (s)he would stop associating SRV with drivel.
yup. Stevie deserves better
You see it's different. His lord and savior is asking for the debt ceiling to be raised.
Who the fuck is this guy?
"We need modest adjustments to get our house in order"
