The Miracle Cure...?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Where and how is all of this going to end? We don't know, but we doubt the end will be anything but painful for all around.

 

 

The problems that were caused by too low interest rates and way to much credit and money creation are supposed to be cured by not merely more of the same, but by veritable wagon-loads of more of the same, for as far as the eye can see. It can and will do lots of things, but what it won't do is 'work'.

Money is not capital.

Creating more and more of it cannot help society at large, it can only lead to more malinvestment and capital consumption. For a while, it feels good, we won't deny that – but the amplitude of the boom-bust cycles keeps growing. At some point something will go very wrong, and when it does it will probably happen in a manner that indicates 'control has been lost'.

Also, the spineless politicos who perpetuate the ponzi.

Dr. Antal Fekete has written extensively on how ever-lower interest rates destroy capital.  I guess they just don't care.  

The Fed and .gov don't care about you!

Prepare for impact.

They care about themselves and nothing for us, unless we have something they want that they can't just simply take.

Fed Res printed confetti is not capital, regardless of semantics like "interest rates".

There's something about Paul Krugman that I find very disturbing.  Especially those pictures of him holding his pussy.

An absolute shitfest of a hearing from our newest FED overlord and it is overshadowed by the Obamacare mess.  Pretty sad day for America.

The trouble with America is that you can still tell the truth, but afterwards you have to go hide out in Russia to avoid the American gulags.

"Creating more and more of it cannot help society at large,"

It was not meant to help society at large. It was never meant to help society at large and never will be meant to help society at large. Society at large will do as society at large has always done, Suffer!

'But we just gotta pay 'our debts'. Even if the kids are starving and cold, and we're all wearing chains.'

The miracle would be if everyone just woke the fuk up, and stopped being naive, manipulated suckers. People forge their own chains and don't even know it.

The psychopaths have been taking advantage of that fact for centuries.

As an example, as LBJ used to board AirForce One, as soon as he got to the door way, but out of earshot - he'd grin from ear to ear to the crowd and say "You dumb sons of b*tches, I piss on all of you."

That's what they think of the people. Do you think the gangsters who snuck in the 'federal' reserve act on Dec 23 1913 felt any different about the American citizens when they did that ? Do you think O, or Bush before him, or Clinton before thought any different ?

They are psychopaths without conscious who love to manipulate, control,  and hurt people.

Yeah, even the one you thought was 'your guy'.

We have to see Japan implode first.

A good old fashion currency crisis should take care of the fed.

The merry-go-round ponzi. BOJ and ECB buys US treasuries with fiat, the US Fed buys Euros and Yen, and the ECB buys yen. One huge circle-jerk.

With due respect to the blogosphere...

"At some point something will go very wrong, and when it does it will probably happen in a manner that indicates 'control has been lost'."

When those with a voice and audience consistently fail (refuse?) to address corrupt points of control as a priority, and therefore effectively sit back and watch, it is certainly guaranteed that all sorts of things will eventually go very wrong.

There is something pathetic going on here.

Capital we have in OVER supply.  There is a persistant 20% overcapacity to produce in the US itself.  Idle workers and idle factories are the calling card of this truth.

What we do not have is DEMAND.  And you cannot have demand if the wealth from ever more efficient production systems fails to aggressively share the wealth with the workers and the overall society.

This is the central paradox of a capitalist system.  And it always get's smoothed out in the end through bloody revolution.

Its not true capitalism until there is a cost of capital or market driven interest rates. We live in the land of zero borrowing and a fed that is printing 30% of what the gubbmint is spending. With that much govt intervention capitalism is dead n buried RIP...
