8 Charts Showing the Real State of the American Economy

George Washington's picture




 

Jim Rickards was interviewed recently by Money Morning, and he presented 8 must-see charts …

1. Bang for the Buck

The bang for buck has plunged in terms of how much stimulus federal spending has on the economy … going from $2.41 per dollar spent in the 1950s and 60s to 3 cents per dollar now:

Of course, the government has been spending money on the wrong things … which don’t really stimulate the economy.

2. Money Velocity

The velocity of money is collapsing as fast as during the late 1920s ... right before the start of the Great Depression (due to bad Federal Reserve policy):

3. Misery Index

The “Misery Index” – unemployment plus inflation – is worse than it was in the late 1970s:

4. Misery Index - Part 2

And worse than it was during the Great Depression:

5. Fed Balance Sheet Leverage

The Fed’s balance sheet has exploded … and the Fed’s debt-to-capital leverage ratio has grown from 22-2 to 77-1:

6. Bank Debt Versus GDP

Bank debt is skyrocketing also, and is now growing 30 times faster than the economy (which is important since excessive private debt causes depressions):

7. Stocks Versus GDP

Stocks are now more than twice as overvalued – in terms of stock market capitalization versus GDP – as they were right before the Great Depression:

8. Dollar As Percent of Global Currency Reserves

And the dollar is declining rapidly as a share of global currency reserves:

you could not get up again either.

I'm convinced that the global monetary reset will come.It's all about confidence in the reserve currency.Do you really think that Washington politicians sre the type of people that the world looks up to today.Kinda doubt it.That's why every American needs to look at The Constitution.It says in plain language that gold and silver are the only true money to be used.Better have a little or a lot of insurance ready to barter with.The end game like I said before is for fascist governments to withdraw all paper money.That way they control and know what you eat and drink and even what you wipe your ass with.Protect yourself.

I actually believed that when the so called QE ended, that the markets would do the exact opposite of what I thought they would do.  So, I thought they would turn south but thought because of that, ... That they would actually continue to print new highs.  This market is yelling something to us.  I believe it is letting us know that we have some monster inflation coming our way, most likely years down the road, since the idiots are so good at kicking this can down the road.  The final crash coming will happen when everyone, (including us) stop talking about it, except those few whom many will call doom & gloomers.  That's when it will all come crashing down, so until then, long, long, long!!!  Might as well get something outta this.

"The velocity of money is collapsing as fast as during the late 1920s ... right before the start of the Great Depression (due to bad Federal Reserve policy)"

 

Which means the Great Depression is out the front windshield, not in the rear view mirror, as Bernanke would have had us believe.  Bernanke was a poor student of the Great Depression.  More of the same bad policy does not work.

“As goes GM, so goes America.” Remember that prideful statement of a few years ago? General Motors is doing quite well in Communist China’s slave labor work force, they even have Communist board members. The GM moving expenses and debt were left behind for the American taxpayer in the form of Government Motors.

Today “As goes Communist China, so goes General Motors.”

The “American” global Empire power elites have moved their manufacturing and technology to Communist China which resulted in the enormous industrial growth within China. The allegiance of the elite corporations is to China, not to the USA.

Scary isn’t it: Fascist Washington global Empire aligned with Communist China behind the secret curtain.

There is a plan called Agenda 21 and its working against us all.

 

In a nutshell, the plan calls for governments to take control of all land use and not leave any of the decision making in the hands of private property owners.  It is assumed that people are not good stewards of their land and the government will do a better job if they are in control. 

 

Individual rights in general are to give way to the needs of communities as determined by the governing body.  Moreover, people should be rounded up off the land and packed into human settlements, or islands of human habitation, close to employment centers and transportation.  Another program, called the Wildlands Project spells out how most of the land is to be set aside for non-humans.

U.N. Agenda 21 cites the affluence of Americans as being a major problem which needs to be corrected.  It calls for lowering the standard of living for Americans so that the people in poorer countries will have more, a redistribution of wealth. 

 

Although people around the world aspire to achieve the levels of prosperity we have in our country, and will risk their lives to get here, Americans are cast in a very negative light and need to be taken down to a condition closer to average in the world.  Only then, they say, will there be social justice which is a cornerstone of the U.N. Agenda 21 plan. - See more at:

For Washington to fix all that is wrong with our economy would be like turning a battleship in a bathtub. Today I make no predictions and have few expectations because when  I awoke it was to a market where stock futures were soaring ever higher even as important economic numbers being released continue to come in below expectations. As the stock market continues to remain at historic highs please tell me what is so good? What is so much better?

As I see it the weight of carrying a large number of unemployed and people who have dropped out of the work force is wearing society down through attrition. The article below points out some of the glaring flaws in the argument that blue sky lies ahead as the stock market seems to indicate. As I look at a landscape of empty and under-leased buildings that once housed thriving businesses that provided Americans with good paying jobs I'm forced to ask, How are things getting better?

How are things getting better?

The established systems are getting giddy with their own self-indulgent insanities. For those at the top of the social pyramid systems, things are better than ever, especially since their psychological make-up enables them to deliberately discount everybody and everything else.

THESE IS NO DOUBT THAT ALL THE BASIC CHARTS DEMONSTRATE THE DOWNWARD TRENDS, HOWEVER, THOSE GROSSLY UNDERSTATE THOSE TRENDS! When it comes to ANY basic CHARTS illustrating the FACTS, I repeat the comment that I recently posted to this article:

Where Will Risk Erupt This Time?

 

The most important FRACTAL is the repeating pattern of the methods of organized crime controlling civilization, and the most important RISK is that everything was built on that foundation of enforced frauds. The way that society is directed by systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, is the SOURCE OF SYSTEMIC RISK! The assessments of markets WITHIN their own frame of reference is extremely misleading, since everything that human beings are doing is more and more dominated by lies backed by violence, enabled to deliberately ignore any rational evidence or logical arguments OUTSIDE of the social systems built on those lies backed by violence.

It is practically IMPOSSIBLE for human societies to assess risks, since the greatest of all risks is that governments are the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, who are so dominant thereby that there can NOT be any rational discussions of real risks. That situation is profoundly worse than we can fully imagine, due to the degree that most of us take almost everything about our own culture for granted.

There is a growing grand canyon chasm between progress in sciences and engineering, EXCEPT NOT social sciences and engineering, because of the degree to which that would require adopting a more scientific attitude towards society, that there IS "800-pound gorilla" in the room, that human societies were always dominated by systems of lies backed by violence, which are being pumped up and UP, to extremely absurd, and impossible to sustain, King Kong proportions, by technologies becoming trillions of times more powerful and capable, while the political world adapts to that by manifesting even Bigger Lies, backed up with More Violence, which sort of systems are able to continue to deliberately ignore THAT IS THE GREATEST RISK!

We have become apes with atomic bombs, backing up electronic monkey money. The runaway triumphs of civilization controlled by systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, through which means the foundation of the entire political economy became ENFORCED FRAUDS, make it practically impossible for human beings to assess any other risks more rationally, since the ULTIMATE "800-POUND GORILLA" IS "HUMAN NATURE" ...  after things like advancing biological science and technology makes it theoretically possible for us to sufficiently understand how to deliberately change our own nature. It was "human nature" to be able to create systems of artificial selection, driven by the original pressures of natural selection, to end up being based on backing up lies with violence, which operates as our DELIBERATE BLIND SPOT!

The contradictions between human beings developing better science and technology, BUT, which reaches a dead-end in political science, because that is where the combined money/murder systems operate on the basis of the maximum possible frauds and deceits, which get away with dong that more and more, because nothing within those human systems can stop that, MEANS it is practically impossible to adequately assess any risks to human beings, outside of the risks that they present to themselves. The degree to which our entire civilization is dominated by professional liars and immaculate hypocrites, operating through systems of legalized lies backed by legalized violence, enabling almost universal attitudes of evil deliberate ignorance towards everything OUTSIDE of that ability, WITHIN that society, to continue to control things by backing up lies with violence, MEANS THAT, COLLECTIVELY, WE BECOME MORE CRIMINALLY INSANE!

The ancient paradoxes regarding the dominance of the "800-pound gorilla" in the social system, channeled through the long history of successful warfare based on deceits and spies, becoming the foundation of economics based on enforced frauds, are all being pumped up and UP!  ... Discussions of human economic systems continue to almost totally take place WITHIN the biggest bullies' bullshit world view, in which the basic social facts that governments are necessarily the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, are NOT ALLOWED to be significantly debated in the public spaces, since those public spaces continue to be almost totally dominated by the biggest bullies, the "800-pound gorillas."

At the present time, it appears impossible for our political processes to avoid going through psychotic breakdowns, and severe social storms, because it is impossible for our kind of politics to have any overall rational assessment of real risks. Rather, everything we are doing is based on grossly disproportional and irrational risk assessments. For instance, the "war on drugs" and the "war on terror," which were based on deceits, in order to advance the debt slavery systems. Overall, the ruling classes have been successfully engaging in a war on consciousness for thousands of years. The "800-pound gorilla" of backing up lies with violence never went away, but rather was able to transform into global systems of electronic frauds, backed by atomic bombs.

It is impossible for human beings to survive the consequences of advancing science and technology, as long as those are NOT ALLOWED WITHIN POLITICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, other than still through that being dominated by the biggest bullies' bullshit social stories, where everything is presented in as backward of ways as possible, while those attitudes of evil deliberate ignorance continue to be enforced, so that the frauds can continue to get BIGGER! Due to the degree that our society is almost totally dominated by systems based on backing up lies with violence, NONE OF THE ECONOMIC STATISTICS ACTUALLY MAKE MUCH SENSE, SINCE THOSE ARE ALL MEASURED AND CALCULATED WITHIN A FUNDAMENTALLY FRAUDULENT FRAME OF REFERENCE.

Most of the articles and comments on Zero Hedge are still operating within that frame of reference, somewhat attempting to provide "actionable intelligence." However, it appears to me that a growing minority of the people who comment on Zero Hedge have approached understanding the degree to which THE GREATEST RISKS THAT WE FACE ARE THE WAYS THAT EVERYTHING WE DO IS BEING DIRECTED BY SYSTEMS OF ENFORCED FRAUDS, WHICH ENABLE ATTITUDES OF EVIL DELIBERATE IGNORANCE.

Anyone with practically relevant "actionable intelligence" is still stuck INSIDE of the established systems of enforced frauds, which are the greatest of all RISKS, regarding which nothing can be done WITHIN those systems. It remains to be seen whether or not the "800-pound gorillas" that develop abilities like mathematical physics, which enable making their frauds become electronic, while their force becomes atomic, are going to be able to survive having done that! 

I believe that appears to be theoretically possible, however, that would require our paradigms regarding political science to go through greater shifts than our physics already did! More than anything else, it would require enough people understanding the basics, that the most important FRACTAL is the repeating pattern of the methods of organized crime controlling civilization, and the most important RISK is that everything was built on that foundation of enforced frauds.

THE REAL STATE OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IS DUE TO THE TRIUMPHS OF THE BEST ORGANIZED GANGS OF CRIMINALS CAPTURING MORE AND MORE CONTROL OVER THE GOVERNMENT.  There are no good statistics outside of that PROBLEM, and therefore, all possible CHARTS tend to understate how bad things are. However, since everyone enjoys proportional social success to the degree that they operate INSIDE of the established systems based on ENFORCED FRAUDS, what seems personally and politically "practical" is to continue to operate WITHIN those, as best as the individual may ... although all together that results in civilization operating through collective, runaway criminal insanities.

I had to speed-read it! Pretty much correct, and the few of us who realize it would be best if most of government simply vanished, have a very difficult time convincing other people of that.

People, conservatives, libs, etc seem to Want control over their lives.

very few true libertarians out there...very few conservatives in a pure form. Just different levels of "I Want them to fill in the blank"

How many people would be OK with saying "Lets get rid of ALL DUI laws" ? very few. But truth be said, a drunk will ALWAYS drive if they so choose regardless of a law. Yet millions of people per year get jailed for blowing .08 when 10 yrs ago it was .10 and 15 yrs ago it was .12 and 20 yrs ago it was a true sobriety test.

MADD. an arguable "Conservative" group wanting...more central power...just like the liberals.

Child Support - same crap. For the kids my ass...kids suffer regardless how it pans out. Period. Let the adults duke it out...oh wait, too many people who couldnt bare that outsome either...poor single moms need money - so STAY married or DONT have kids and DONT get married or SUFFER consequences.

Its all royally Phucked. no end in sight.

800-pound gorilla

One could say the 800-pound gorilla is how we fund the MIC, Fund Guerrilla Fighters, and how we allow Lobbying to continually get us into wars and to spend more on MIC... Thus creating a Total Federal Debt of at least $10 Trillion in 12 years.

- DoD Budget
- VA Budget
- Government Pensions, Benefits for DoD
- Black Budget Programs, CIA, NSA, DIA, ETC
- International Assistance Programs
- State Department Budget
- DHS Budget

Yes, $10 Trillion in 12 years of spending.

Bank Debt growing 30X faster... and we could say Banks are creating money out of thin air 30X the GDP growth.

Banks have Carte Blanche if they are on Wall Street or London.

- Why can't I create my own credit?
- Why can't I get a safe government Interest Rate on My savings?
- Why don't the State Governments & Federal Government have the power to create credit in safe public banking realm, or Banks like North Dakota?

We see the abuse of power by banks, shadow banks, financial ratings agencies, Lobbyists, Tax Shelter Professionals, Financial Managers... We need to look at money in a completely different way. The Federal Government is just picking the winners in the Economy like MIC, Lawyers, Big Corporations, and Banks.

Ebola in the DC US was as real as Robbie Parker and Jeff Bauman.

One reason for it, other than to assist in throwing the puppet-selection (election) to the right, was to install another Ashkenazi crat in the top ranks of the ponzi-empire's ranks.

An American, not US subject.

 

The most incredible thing about the Ebola FUD of 2014 was the sheer lack of skepticism on the part of many who should have known better.

Proof Ebola Is A Conspiracy

That 37 minute long video from the end of October, 2014, restates most of what I had already decided was most probably the case. Those who attempt to understand why the American economy appears to be going down and down SHOULD recognize that the events manifested during the 2008 financial crises were due to an inside job, and the people who caused those things to happen then controlled the governmental responses, so that the biggest banks ends up even BIGGER. Similarly, the events on 9/11/2001 were an inside job, false flag attack.

Generally, the current social pyramid systems are dominated by pyramidion people who have become criminally insane. However, they continue to get away with more and more of their kinds of behavior, to the degree to which they almost completely dominate the established world systems with their crazy corruption, due to the REAL ways that the methods of organized crime ARE the political processes:

LIST OF BANKS OWNED/CONTROLLED BY THE ROTHSCHILDS:

http://bloginfo.educate-yourself.eu/2013/03/list-of-banks-owned-by-the-rothschild-family/

“Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”

–-- Baron M.A. Rothschild

Only someone who is ignorant could continue to apply Hanlon's Razor to understand the deterioration in the American economic systems, as being due to incompetence, since there is overwhelming sets of indications that there are criminal conspiracies at the highest levels behind those phenomena.

There has been Zero Hedge article after article documenting how one "conspiracy theory" after another has been demonstrated as a fact. One of the more recent OVER THE TOP manifestations of that historical pattern was how governments respond to the Ebola Epidemic is similar to how they responded to the flu epidemic at the end of World War I, as documented in this recent article:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-04/government-lied-about-pandemic-which-killed-50-million-people-…-attempt-“prevent-pan

Government Lied About Pandemic Which Killed 50 Million People … Attempt to “Prevent Panic” Backfired

"The combination of rigid control and disregard for truth had dangerous consequences."

As my other comment here REPEATED, it is practically impossible to exaggerate the degree to which our civilization is dominated by runaway systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, which are automatically getting worse, faster, because nothing can practically be done to fix that! Indeed, one can not fully comprehend the collective group of trillionaire mass murderers that control our current civilization, because, personally, I still find it is almost impossible to fully imagine the people who carry out mass murders, in order to advance their political agenda.

The multifaceted deeper reasons for what the CHARTS above show are that the American economy is more and more dominated by FINANCIAL TERRORISTS, who are also able and willing to use bioweaponized diseases as kinds false flag attacks to advance their agenda. At the present time, slightly more Americans are "waking up" to those basic facts, HOWEVER, the established systems are so totally dominated by the best organized gangs of criminals, continuing to advance their agenda using their methods, that there is no reasonable hope for the foreseeable future ...

That is especially the case because of the way that those "firefighter arsonists" are playing with fires that could go utterly out of control. Moreover, the relative social successes, achieved through thousands of years, with an exponential growth of that during more recent Centuries and decades, has resulted in the vast majority of people being almost totally incapable of understanding the basic issues of natural selection pressures, because the established artificial systems dominating their lives for generation after generation were based on the maximum possible deceits and frauds, that got encoded into the old-fashioned religions and ideologies which they were brainwashed to believe in.

The currently dominant State Religions are the monetary system and national security, both of which are almost totally systems of lies backed by violence, operated by the ruling classes, in order to continue to control those that are ruled over! Those State Religions have so totally buried the basic facts about natural selection so deep under the layers of the culture of artificial selection systems operated through deceits and frauds, that it is practically impossible for most people to see any of the basic actual facts under all of the bullshit promoted by the biggest bullies, for so long!

There must necessarily be some murder systems to back up some monetary systems. The flip side of the biggest banks getting away with being FINANCIAL TERRORISTS is that the vast majority of people are unwilling, and therefore unable, to operate better death controls to back up better debt controls. Instead, those are actually being done through the maximum possible deceits and frauds about themselves, which includes that the controlled opposition groups to those things stay within the same frame of reference of deceits and frauds about the combined money/murder systems.

The threats from bioweaponized diseases deployed through some kinds of false flag attacks is probably the single greatest threat that we collectively face. However, since the medical systems operate inside the monetary systems, while those money systems operate in side the military systems, which were historically selected for their successes to be based on frauds and deceits, the ways that our civilization responds to the threats of epidemic diseases possibly becoming pandemics is mainly more criminal insanities piled on top of previous criminal insanities. It is quite correct, as previous comments above already stated, that the official authorities' apparent responses to the Ebola Epidemic have primarily been via public relations techniques. Our politics is mainly the politics of managing perceptions, rather than doing anything else, because its FOUNDATION IS ENFORCED FRAUDS.

That has been so thoroughly established, for so long, that is pretty well totally impossible to have any rational political debates about anything, while almost all the official economic statistics were fudged into mush. As my other comment here attempted to explain, even when one attempts to correct those fudged statistics (e.g.: John Williams' Take On The October Unemployment Report: "The Economy Remains In Terrible Shape") those results are STILL within the backwards, bullshit frame of reference, which almost totally dominates our civilization!

The media cabal have a cooperative censorship effort in place, but will projectile vomit plenty of pseudo-news if any big, sensational stories are uncovered. Unless the story is about U.S. and Israeli bioweapons labs in West Africa or pharmas testing vaccines. In that case, the reporter will die unexpectedly and the story will be quashed. If it leaks, it will be dismissed in the MSM with the usual Conspiracy Theory accusations.

The WHO West African ebola numbers were being 'adjusted' for the last three weeks:

The number of previously classified ebola deaths is being reduced enough in each WHO report enough to offset new deaths. It looks like nobody else died from ebola in the last three weeks, but the underlying trend has actually remained the same. Eventually they'll run out of previously-classified ebola deaths to keep adjusting downwards and the existing trends will become obvious again. It's a toss-up whether this is a legitimate effort to fix bad numbers from before, or an attempt to whitewash the severity prior to elections.

The total case numbers were being undercounted in Sierra Leone and Liberia. They jumped a couple of weeks ago to include previously uncounted cases. Agian, the trend is pretty much the same and will become clear again once they stop screwing with the numbers.

The updated WHO numbers come out in Situation Reports every 3 - 5 days. The last one was Nov. 7th.
