Charting The Fed's "Devotion To The American People"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In her 'speech to America', Yellen explained...

  • *YELLEN: FED TRYING TO CREATE CONDITIONS FOR AMERICANS TO THRIVE
  • *YELLEN: FED IS DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

The question is - which American people... 

 

Sure feels like "someone's" interest is being taken care of?

My bank account loves the Dems,  my heart despises them.   The two faces of me.

yes, but eventually all those paper promises will start seeking out real goods and services.

To those that down voted me, I can only say that Obama and the "Bernake" has made me rich.  The preps are in place and the PM stack is nice, large and shiny.   Have nice Catamaran ready to set sail if/when the time comes.

Where you gonna sail to? Many of us have many assets/properties/plantations...  so fucking what? 

A dependable tribe of people with very unique and tradable "skills" will be just as important.

Most people aren't ready to accept their Randist view of their own success are blinkered. For example, most small business owners sneer loud and long about unions, while their revenue depends on wage earners with incomes above bare survival rates.

It's only polite to pretend reality sandwich isn't on the menu.

That's the crazy thing.  We know this.  But there is no apparent reconciliation of the magnitude of dollars they have printed and distortions they have introduced with commensurate tangible impacts.

I can only imagine this means our default state in a free market would be raging real growth and abundance, and the Fed's devastating deprivations are simply being absorbed by the sheer power what of organic productivity growth they don't manage to fully sabotage.

On the one hand, almost all of this printed money stays in the financial gaming world. Calling them markets is sabotaging the meaning of the word.

On the other, the activity of the real economy depends on more than the number of dollars sitting around. While an important thing, it's not the only thing.

For example, it's only US labor participation. With offshoring, the jobs are being done, it's just immigrants and overseas workers subsidized by their governments. Which is why most twenty-somethings are living with their parents, working part time at a convenience store.

The 0.1% have more wealth than the bottom 90% in the land of the free today.  Be happy with your fluoridated water, unlabeled GMO food, vanishing liberties, NSA spying, Neocon wars, militarized police and the droner-in-chief to lead you.

Yes, in the current global monetary system, bankers and financiers are nothing but useless overcompensated middlemen stuck between the printer/computer (were "money" is created without any real work or collateral) and the producer/consumer in the real economy.

what are the sheep going to do about it?

eventually the producers of real goods and serivices will not be able to deliver at any price.  Supply lines break and the world goes to war in earnest.

Same as it ever was...

Acting in the public interest is a misnomer.

There are many publics, each with their own interests.

Do the math, and the idea of the 99% vs the 1% comes out about right. The moral agnostic position that the luxury of the few is as important as the survival of the many was always a PR slogan.

You say declining labor force participation like it's a bad thing.

When you got disability and Obamaphones, what more do you need?

The Undeserving Poor was as invention of oligarchs enjoying an increasing share of common resources. Which means if they're not paying you for spreading that slogan, you're working for billionaires for free.

Or maybe Obamaphones and disability are the oligarchs' plan to placate the masses while the 1% loots.

How much are they paying you?

In the United States the bribed political parasites created the Federal Reserve and it has always been single-mindedly devoted to plundering Main Street, enriching Wall Street and throwing a few pieces of silver to the political parasites. The political parasites provide the window dressing that distracts the American People from seeing the real powers controlling America.
