Hillary Saves Capitalism!
Submitted by Bill Bonner via Bonner & Partners,
The Fed’s EZ money is creating hard times. It led to overconsumption… then overproduction… and now to a big bust.
Just what you’d expect.
And what you’d expect next is more crashing, sliding, and busting up in the world’s markets… followed by more EZ money.
Eventually, it will explode into consumer price inflation. But that could still be far in the future.

We keep our political coverage balanced at the Diary. On the Republican’s side, there is an unusually rich assortment of fools and knaves. And on the Democrat’s side, there is Ms. Clinton.
We don’t know what we would do without her.
How would we know, for example, how long we should hold an investment without her to tell us?
She seems to believe that today’s average holding period is too short. It causes an obsession with short-term results that she calls “quarterly capitalism.”
CNBC reports:
How will “working to end short-termism” help working families?
How many months of holding an investment is acceptable to the Democratic Party’s front-runner?
A Crony Unmasked
Why would anyone even think that Ms. Clinton – who has never held an honest job in the private sector – could possibly have any idea about how to save capitalism… or how long an investment should be held?
These questions leave us panting, sweating… and in need of a drink.
All Ms. Clinton knows about capitalism is what the cronies tell her when they are slipping her cash. Wall Street is a major financial contributor to her campaign. They know she can be bought. She won’t disappoint them.
Hillary still has to grandstand for the benefit of the Democratic masses. But she’s clearly on the side of the cronies and the zombies. And they both hate capitalism.
Why?
Because capitalism is a zombie killer.
Capitalism is not a wealth distribution system, as supply-side economist and techno-utopian guru George Gilder makes clear in his latest book, Knowledge and Power. It’s an information system… a knowledge system… in which entrepreneurs take risks and find out what works.
They learn how to build better things… putting old zombie manufacturers out of business. They figure out how to cut costs and increase quality, too… squeezing out the cronies and forcing the zombies to get to work.
They discover the knowledge that makes us wealthier.
Naturally, the zombies and cronies try to put capitalism out of business. Typically, their candidates claim to be “improving” or “saving” capitalism from itself.
What they are really doing is saving the crony lobbyists and zombie voters from real capitalism.

Fuck you Hildabeast !!
Maybe you but not me B2u.
The witches in Macbeth are a better proposition for me by far.
Actually, she is quite experienced based on her donations from the prison labor industry to institute Chinese Communist style reforms.
Or worse:
1937 Germany vs. 2015 America: Camps? What Camps?
Oh, she's held a job in the Private Sector, allright, id Goldman, Morgan, et al are any examples of extortion.

We should perhaps recall that her "Investment" in livestock futures was not held for very long but produced unbelievable (Sic) returns?
It is quite beyond me why anyone would take seriously anything that comes out of the mouth of this lying corrupt cunt.
I believe she brought the lumber and nails to Crucify Nixon. Lacking a hammer, it did not happen.

Dupe. Fucking phones!
Her burgeoning career of non-stop fraud started at the Rose Law Firm over 40 fucking years ago.
You have no idea where it been.
Yes Yes Yes!
The great white bitch is our only hope, one lousy down vote that's lame. Should be a 100+
Presidential candidates claim to be populists and propose all types of ideas for new laws that protect the middle class, knowing that it takes Congress to create the law for them to sign, also knowing it'll never happen, which also gives them a scapegoat. 2 birds with 1 stone! And the sheeple eat it up.
But, but, she was a lawyer in Arkansas...
That's gotta mean something, no?

$600 buys me 24 haircuts (that includes a generous tip to Pedro)...
i can get 75 haircuts for the same amount of money... and the barber doesn't expect a tip.
Calle Ocho? :)
As I hear it, she never passed a bar in her life
I wonder if she could pass a pike pole. Vlad has one waiting for her.
What they should do is tax capital gains at 99% for anything held for less than a second.
+1000 Comment of the week. LOL.
ditto
Inflation must be bad, if she paid $600 for that haircut. Speaking of haircuts, the rest of America should be getting expensive ones any time now. Be early to the Bank or don't be at all.
don't be such H8rs... she's hell on trading cattle futures!
Day trading. I notice she didn't come up with this idea till she was through making money.
Do you want to know how she did it? She had a discretionary account with a commodity broker meaning her broker was allowed to trade her account.
The broker traded cattle futures all day, and at the end of the day decided which trades went to which accounts.
Hillary happened to get all the winning trades. The Clintons have been working with brokers for a long, long time.
Oh my! You stole my thunder, and have earned an automatic up-vote from this former Arkie.
I would say her limit is one order of magnitude.
She did take $10k and turn it into $100k without any traceability (or credibility) too!
1k, not 10k.
Beginners luck.
She put in $1k, they "loaned" her the rest.

Just a another criminal in the service of other criminals serving fifth-column criminals.
Liberty is demand. Tyranny is submission..
Guillotine them all, and sort the heads out on pikes.
I ABSOLUTELY HATE AND DESPISE HILLARY. But i actually agree with her basic concept on this. Short term trading and the attendant HFT does nothing to contribute to the economy. I figure this won't be popular here, but if this concept were to be very rationally considered weighing the pros and cons - it should not be just written off on the surface.
Just to make sure I'm clear on this: Otherwise, F*CK HILLARY CLINTON.
You don't actually believe her do you?

Yes Yes Yes!
Sucked in.
This site bitches about HFT and then turns around and complains when someone suggests holding a little longer might be better for the economy.
Given the bubbles out there, is she not advocating retail investors stay put and be the bag holders when things crash? Does she not take large amounts of cash from GS, JPM?
If she was referring to HFT and promised to ban it, and if I could trust her to follow through, hell, even I would vote for her. But she wasn't, I can't, so I won't.
Hillary is a monster not your typical old smelly marxist. I don't blame Bill for cheating so much, but I do for staying and pretending.
My favorite anecdote, and a 'must know' for even the trolls considering a vote for her:
"Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff (1973) and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said... “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/02/25/hillary-fired-lies-unethical-behavi...
Liar, Lawyer....same difference.
You left out the words "cheat" and "steal" from it, otherwise you're spot-on.
Liar, Lawyer....same difference.
Why not go Communist China and jail sellers? She is such a dick.
A $600 dollar hair spells, 'You don't know me.'
Hillary is a fifty cent whore, with a $600 dollar haircut...And so ugly she ain't even worth 2 bits.
She's pretty sure she knows how much a haircut should cost
'Bout the same as a gallon of milk or a gallon of gasoline. AmmI ruight?
All cash Business. AmmI ruight?
--Methuselah
if capitalism worked then we the people would be able to buy back at least a few politicians. what we have now is not capitalism because we can't even have one.
How would we know? We've never experienced capitalism without crony's disease.
Nice.
True capitalism WOULD work. Unfortunately all of the 'checks and balances' that would normally weed out excess have been legislated into toothless irrelevance by the very people who benefit from their neutralization.
Then they point to the fact that they've clearly "won" as proof that capitalism works, if only you would be more like them.
If only you could borrow money at zero interest, and loan it to people in your neighborhood for 18%...
Too bad you can't take that borrowed money, and go to Vegas and place a bet on EVERY table...if you win, you keep it. If you lose, everyone else kicks in and pays the bill.
Or bet on every horse, in every race, both ways, and collect all winnings while all losses are "taken care of".
There's a lot of technology out there, but too bad you can't possibly aggregate it effectively to use it in the manner they do. Your home PC may indeed have more computing power than the computers that put a man on the moon, but that doesn't change the reality that you are, and will always be, sitting in front of it in your pajamas...
Well put- up until the part about "the computers that put a man on the moon".

Bloomberg had the CFR chieftain on Monday. Lawyereeze and adversarial nationstate system banter for people who like that stuff.
Then they had a guy who worked for the CBO. (reminder china index was dropping precipitously that day). They asked him about tax policy (regarding IRS rate.) "Is there a difference between labor and capitol gains?"
"People have different opinions about that"
Waka Waka. you really can't make this MSM stuff up. They are better at it than we can ever be. I, for one, will welcome our Chinese masters (with fresh water) after they sell all the T-Bills to buy boats and collect.
Hillary stands against crony capitalism holding a global warming hairdryer.
Hillary is a whore, pure and simple. She'll do anything for money.
That horizontal arrowhead in the "H" on her campaign signs is suggestive of the tip of her tail or her serpent's lying tongue.
Clinton/Lerner 2016!
Bunkbeds in cell block 11.
Why is it that raising taxes is always the solution to a problem for Democrats?
Then they're about to hit a brick wall of disappointment. Because Joe Taxpayer ain't got it, and is in no mood to negotiate any 'terms of payment'...
The FED creates massive inflation and Hillary's solution is to raise taxes. Where do they get these idiots?
The short-term mind-set IS the problem. But, like all of our so-called leaders, her response is to stage (yes, STAGE) an 'attack' on one of the more unpopular symptoms of the disease, while doing all she can to prolong the illness because it's so god-damned lucrative.
Wages too low? Raise the minimum wage! Don't look to things like structural unemployment, a changing job market, demographics...God forbid, throw the bastards a couple extra bucks and put this behind us already!
Too much money flowing in one direction? Don't waste time trying to adjust the stream, just pick one of the unpopular recipient groups and TAX it when it gets there!
Electing any of these jokers is like hiring a building manager who says, "Don't bother FIXING the broken pipe in the bathroom, that is expensive and messy...just throw towels on the floor to sop up the water..."
She knows what happened when the buildings fell. She or Jeb will be the first female president of the United States. Or maybe they elect somebody else ... and Bubba can Bubba into his old age. The rest of us find our own way to get our kids educated about STEM tech.
It is a possible solution.
Tyler where did you get that picture? All I could think of was "There's Something About Mary" Is that Hair Gel?...... Wow the thought of Huma squirting just has my head spinning..
Yup just let the WKSI Nuland the Goldman regime changes go on.... Is it me or does the only thing that makes sense is CFR MIC internment for treason?
CFR = Council of Foreign Relations = Cunts For Rent
We need more web sites like this;

I would choose the Che Hillary line for evening wear when scouting behind enemy lines, near the rubber chicken and foie gras circuit.
Jeepers! SAD!!!!!!!!
Listen up, Billy Boner,
Ponzi Casino Capitalism is _DEFUNCT_ and I am the guy that killed it once and for all, motherfucker. Ponzi Casino Capitalism is never going to come back no matter how much you jerk off to the prospect. The Ponzi Casino Capitalists are functionally retarded from eating too many retard sandwiches with the likes of Richard 'the gorilla' Fuld, and Alan GreedSCUM.
NOTE: Take the GreedSCUMBernankeYellen put, and stick it where the sun don't shine, BuckO.
Hillary Clinton is an insult to the progressive voters intelligence. Everything about her is test marketed and then manufactured right down to her accent and her pimped up van that she's been riding across the country ISO everyday Americans since everyone she freely associates with is a billionaire.
How funny that she never felt the urge to take a van to one of her half million dollar speaking gigs rather than the private jet she's grown accustomed to.
She's a fucking cunt. I hope she gets hit by a limo.
