Chopper Envy: Mario Draghi Bashes "Helicopter Money"
In what may be a historic first, as part of his answer to the last conference question on whether it is time for the ECB to start onboarding risk on its balance sheet, Draghi had a simple answer:
- DRAGHI SAYS ECB DOESN'T GO AROUND WITH HELICOPTER MONEY
Now... is that just a little chopper envy, bourne out of disdain for the Buba's "just say 9,9,9" position, or is this the start of an actual slamdown between the ECB and the Fed. Surely even Draghi realizes that with the private sector in Europe hibernating with zero or negative loan creation in the past four years, and with the ECB unwilling to inject unsterilized liquidity, there is no hope of actual European growth ever (because sadly we live in a Keynesian world in which economic growth is always and only a function of new money injected into the system). And yes, BOJ and Fed cash will only push stock markets higher for so long before the economic tide goes out, youth unemployment hits 100% and the revolution finally takes place.

It's Bernak pile on time. Nevermind that Yellen will be dropping it from Boeing 747's.
I am still shocked that all of these wankin bankers are allowed to walk the streets! The old IRA would have taken these fuckers out one by one, and the world would be a better place!
In America, Bernanke prints more of it. In Europe, the central bank just steals it!
Draghi is making sense in his own twisted way.
If you impose negative interest rates, you don't need a heliciptor.
"Get to the chopper." - Mario "Arnold" Draghi
draghi can't even do a euro-trash villain right. i'll take hollywood & alan rickman aka hans gruber. at least ben walks the walk (by the by mr. draghi, whose central bank is pumping euro money center banks full of dollars?). draghi only talks of theoretical aircraft deriving lift and propulsion from a horizontal overhead rotor capable of gravity assisted dispersion of mediums of exchange in the form of banknotes, collectively.
Hans Gruber would have made a brilliant ECB lead.
Bernanke: GO GO GADGET GO (Helicopter Hat activated!)
All these central banker fuckers were on the same script in the past few years working together - now it seems it's everyman for himself.
And that's how you take down a sociopath.
Turn them on each other.
Maybe we can get them all in a locked room with nothing but a sword and the movie "Highlander" playing on an endless loop.
It would turn into a circle jerk. Instead of Highlander put a Nigel Farage video loop on the screen.
Not so sure that's a great idea...
Remember the part where Sean Connery says:
"There can only be ONE."
Hmmm... no Bernanke at the J-hole, and now this?
It is still all part of the same scam..
They had the deal sealed with the Fed before LTRO1..
They will just slosh the swaps and credit back and forth until something in the model breaks.
Then they will punt again unless the SHTF.
Now is this not rich of him to say this. He dont need no helicopters, but keep the uSD$ SWAPS coming. What a HYPOCRITE.
yeah instead of a helicopter Draghi prefers to drop it directly from his ass.
The problem with helicopter money is that it seems to blow away just before the outstretched hands on main street can grab some and the fellows in those pretty balloons with vacuum cleaners manage to suck it all back in.
you know, that entire press conference was pitiful. the people of Europe are enduring a DEPRESSION....and all that ass talked about was the stability of the banks. In other words, taking care of his own, and protecting their wealth, their assets, and their bonuses.
I've had it. today, i leave the stock markets, put it all in gold and silver......and quit watching. this is all going to end so badly its terrifying. I just hope we avoid bloodshed on a global basis.
terrifying.
UFC 200: Mario "Draco" Draghi vs. Ben "The Chopper" Bernanke
No need for envy. Who needs a chopper? We are far ahead of that. Draghi shall have a rocket powered fighter aircraft! Messerschmitt Me 163b:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_163
The me163 was notoriously difficult to fly.
Maybe we should encourage Draghi to have a go ;)
Further, it was notoriously explosive, which is exactly what I was thinking about ... and it had to land as a glider, maybe that's an analogy, too ...
Even better, the A4. (V2)
Try shoveling out paper bills straight from a choppers cabin, it will be sucked into the main rotor blades for a hell of a ride and after hitting the tail rotor watch her spin !
Don't like your neighbor or the guy down the street? If you live in Florida you can turn him in to the government and get a million bucks.

With best regards from the Gestapo ....
I love the ChiCom model.
". . . anti-government political statements that may be deemed a prelude to violent action."
I feel like I'm watching "V." Clearly these shitheads are getting frightened.
"that may be deemed a prelude to violent action."
Good pick. Some correctional facilities take baton action
if inmates pass by without their heads lowered and hands folded on the back.
"Hey, your dog shit on my lawn. pick it up."
"Hello ...911? I'd like to report a TERRORIST THREAT."
Nice post Doc , watch the mustache, this aint your sheriff.
Was that a 'shout-out' to the Saudi's?
Choppers are messy. Drones allow a high-precision money injections to the pockets of handlers. Contains risk of collateral enrichment of the politically connected.
"I'm on the helicopter to hell."
No this is called the 'Dreamliner'! Watch out for that vapourized Lithium dose. We assure you it is NOT from the flames of hell! Relax and breath normally, we are about to arrive at your destination which sports daily temps of about 180F with continual clear skies, and boiling hot springs guaranteed to take the weight off your shoulders.
Shoulder chuck stew served around the clock.
With tater tots and a large warmed pinapple.
Chopper: sick balls
+1 for Stand by Me reference.
sick of Draghi the drama dick.
Ok, we need some clarity here:
- Is he unwilling to print money altogether?
OR
- Is he unwilling to drop it on the masses but wuld happilly print money and channel it to the banks so that only a "worthy minority" benefit?
draghi: we cannot achieve much with such very small penis but you americans, wow!

Mario "negative" Draghi vs. Ben "leaking" Bernanke
Draghi does however, pick up the helicopter droppings.
Race to debase!
Who can punish their savers and responsible citizens faster!?!?
Long live the revolution. I went to college and have found out that I write like Kilgore Trout. You can count me in.
"ECB DOESN'T GO AROUND WITH HELICOPTER MONEY"
They launder it first?
no, they just pick it off from bank accounts................cyprus has set the stage for wealth confiscation in lieu of printing.............................sooner or later america will follow...................the central banks wont print into oblivion.........they are far too shrewd for that..................much better to keep the currency alive and just feed from the middle.........................................
The Cyprus bank accounts weren't comprised of helicopter money, they were comprised of earned (whether in the centrally planned market or the free/black market) depositer money.
Benny bucks take far more depositer money than did the Cypriot politicians.
The news here is that Euro depositers who "loan" banks their savings, will now pay for the privilege in addition to paying for any losses incurred by the bank's poor gambling decisions.
Draghi announced the end of savings accounts.
Who needs 'em anyway?
probably right kito and the stupid people deserve what they get. Tired of stupid people.
He's more into Hercules planes to drop the money pallets.
Very soon he will upgrade to the Airbus A400M Atlas.
<You go girl.>
IT'S LIKE IT WAS MEANTH TO BE USED BY THE UCB!!
€11.2 billion over budget...
Phhhhft. No big deal.
Slap a solar panel and some burning batteries in there and Obama will fund it.
Get this crazy crap...ECB says Cypus government bonds to become eligible collateral in ECB operations but subject to special haircuts

Who doesnt think this Ponzi Bubble wont end with a bang?
Draghi to Merkel "Mammy can i have a chopper too....please, pretty please".
You have to give Draghi credit. (pun)
Instead of lazily printing money like American Ben, he is industriously stealing it from savers.
That's called working for a living.
Yay. Depressions for all.
and Draghi has what exactly? Spaghetti money???
FIESTA!
PARTY TIME!
FESTA!
Maifest!
Sex & drugs & rock & roll!
Unenployed? Broken? Looser!

Draghi has ONE mission....contain inflation...simple.
Ben has a very complicated (for a reason) mission. He must contain inflation and keep unemployment low. Ben can do whatever he wants. Mario is stuck.
Ultimately Ben will kill his currency while Mario's will be fine. Both currency zones will suffer. The US when Ben finally succeds in causing hyperinflation. The EZ will suffer because the socialist governments can't keep it in their pants (their wallets that is). They spend and promise and spend some more. It is the spending and not the currency management that is hurting the EZ. When the dollar dies and Italy and Frace go belly up the EZ will still have a solid currency....just not much of an economy.
Blaming the currency for the sins of the politicians is an incorrect diagnosis.
