But... Joe Lavorgna Said...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Wondering why once again everything is crashing? Here is all you need to know:

“We’ve got the proverbial 800-pound gorilla -- the consumer,” said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York. “Households are more fixated on the good news here, and a big part of that is the labor market. The U.S. is going to be pretty immune to the rest of the world.”

I don't see a difference, both are rodents that should be exterminated. Is this another trick post on ZH?

The 800lb gorilla is an EBT shopper at Walmart.

What do you have against groundhogs?  Not all rodents are bad.  Only the ones that are vectors for pestilences are.  LaVorgna is a vector for an all new kind of contagion.

...And the Fed sticks to their plan to end QE 3 in October, an infamously volatile month for stocks.   Why didn't they just choose October 29 for the official end date, and call it the Black Wednesday Stock Declines Initiative?

It's always good news for the consumer when-

You hear how great government employment statistics are even though you can't find a job.

You hear how low inflation is but your grocery bill is now 20% higher than a year ago.

You hear how car makers are selling at a record pace but everyone on your block is driving 7 year old clunkers.

You hear how great the stock market is doing but you don't own any stock.

You hear how great the banks are doing while you add the $1.63 you got in interest last month.

He's CNBC's Larry "King Dollar" Kudlow's buddy and appears as a talking head on numerous financial programs. I don't know if he's Jewish but he's consistant in his talking points. And just judging him from who he hangs with (appears on their programming) should tell you he's pretty...lame-stream. Who signs his paycheck is just as revealing.

Joe is describing the consumer who still has a job, and all those that are on Government wealthfare. He knows the Government cheese will never be cut.
