Don't know how rate hikes effect wages as most people on wages don't have access to the discount window.

True, but wage growth is a goal seeked target of the Fed. They want it rising before hike.

Umm, with 15 minutes to go before the opening, the Dow futures are down 1, S&P and Naz futures are about even.  I guess the definition of surge is different than I thought it was.

Seriously, though, anyone who thought that the Fed and FedGov would allow the data to support a rate increase is naive.  I don't see rates going up any time soon.  One, the economy sucks pretty much everywhere but Northern California (tech bubble II headquarters(; and, two, the Federal budget simply can't absorb the higher debt service costs that higher rates would bring.  Where's Obama and the Congress going to find $180 billion per each 1% increase in interest rates?  The answer, they're not going to find it.  The budget deficit (and national debt) will swell up like a balloon and the Fed will take the blame because of interest rate increases.  Not going to happen. They like their cushy jobs and insider trading abiities way too much to give them up for something as trivial as a rate increase.

They will raise rates come hell or high water. It no longer has anything to do with fundementals or the strength of economy though.

Agreed.

The Fed, like all institutions beginning to fear their own demise, will raise rates (if only symbolically), AND perhaps more. They have to.

You simply CANNOT have a rising DOW and S&P, AND this critical labor metric at the same time, without public anger rising in intensity.

If we limp into the next presidential campaign without total collapse by then, expect a year unlike any other since 1968 (though for different reasons).

If you weren't around back then, Google it.

It was a year the nation's wheels almost came off the wagon...

INDICTMENT

Americans are criminals because Americans violate the Constitution of the United States of America.

The U.S. President Obama, the entire U.S. Congress, the CIA, the FBI, the U.S. Military, and the entire Police Force of these United States SWORE to protect, serve and uphold the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution forbids usage of debt as money (referred to as 'notes') and stipulates that only gold and silver can be used as money.

Yet,

Americans commit or support and condone the murder and torture human beings throughout planet earth in the name of democracy and freedom, all for the sake of acquiring Constitutionally fraudulent and illegal Federal Reserve Notes a.k.a (counterfeit) U.S. Dollars.

Since the United States is a democracy and Americans only elect Democrats and Republicans who perpetuate this unlawfulness,

Americans are indicted criminals according to the United States Constitution.

Spread the word.

its amazing how 'satisfied'  workers are per another zh article, given their purchasing power per hour worked is constantly decreasing....along with the value of any savings (not investments, but savings). 

 

the mindset is more along the lines of, 'its a recession when neighbor loses his job, depression when you lose yours'; and 'its better than X', 'at least i have a job'.     

always strikes me as odd how much people fully embrace the 'working for someone else who tells you when and where to be and tells you what to do'  mindset.    self employment is difficult, but once you get a taste, you never go back....and if you keep your debt low or nil, one can ride through any econ cycle

scuba, just finished the book " the Happiness industry"(how .gov and big business sold us well-being)" by wm davies..he makes the attempt to explain "utilitarianism" by a englishman J bentham; for" .gov the right actions are whichever one produces the maximum happiness for the population overall.."and how this has motivated western business and governments..of course it's how you measure happiness that's the rub..

the elites think they can measure the publics state of mind ..to wit: google and face book's experiments on limiting info to produce happier people. (of course the side effects of more placid populations has to be accepted as a by product of happiness)..seems the elite at davos love utilitarianism and have had numerous work shops on it and similar ideas.

The first rule of global mega-corporations is that the profit of shareholders and exectutives must come first. If the worker bee complains about their wages, they will be replaced with an illegal alien for a fraction of of the cost.

Right, what's all this then, eh?

 

Compared to the CANUCK BUCK the American dollar ain't getting fucking 'hammered'. Frankly, with all the money Canadians are losing to the Americans the yanks really do have enough of our money to get hammered for the next decade IMHO.

 

Yo Tyler(s), what do you think CANADA is, chopped liver?

 

PLEASE talk about how the American Government is FUCKING our dollar to artificially inflate USD. We are NOT EM, but that cocksucking government you have over there treats us like we are.

 

USD getting 'hammered', yeah right, eh.

Wage data is bad so oil will be sure to spike to finance petrodollar in money market liquidity for the pump and dump bankers.  So the little guy was in trouble before they got crunched between little purchasing power and forced consumption of oil?  Well bankers and idiot politicians care sooo much they sent philanthopist to tell people to condone the problem.  George Orwell is rolling in his grave.
