The Central Bankers' Dilemma Bubble Chart
Bloomberg has come out with the most succinct and descriptive chart summarizing the "Central Bankers' dilemma" in which everyone is currently caught in either of four states: inflation, stagflation, recession and debt trap. Nobody wants to be in the lower left or the top right. Unfortunately, America's future is precisely one of the two, and anything the Fed does will only accelerate America's adverse transition appropriately.

Fear not...FED to force Apple to release Iphone 5, 6, and 7 simultaneously....easing all economic concerns....
But...But....But.... I can't eat them.... Maybe they will make a app.
I'm sure they have an app out there that has digital peas on it.
Bon APPetit!
Where is China and the rest of the EM's. With Australia I suppose.
Wait a moment, Bloomberg, really all tricks had to be pulled?
- "recent growth rate"? Nice one.
- Unimployment AND Inflation lower in the US than in the EuroZone? Yes, of course, it's written EU...
So ... all you have to do now is believe the government statistics. Move America's unemployment up and inflation up and gee ... it's upper right.
My thought, as well. What is the point of fudging this?!
The Keynesian ridiculousness of this chart is fantastic. Draw a line and it's a Phillips Curve. I can't believe this discipline survived the 1970s.
discipline, propaganda, whatever. the suggestion is quite simple:
Print, FED, Print, "the ECB is ahead of you"!
The ridiculousness of the chart lies in its falsity. Unemployment in the US is >14% and inflation is > 7%. The US is off the freaking chart.
no doubt it is a crap chart. just like voting today, this is all there is so choose the lesser of the evils. what a crock
where would you put the US in 1870 on that chart... laughable
I didn't get past 'Bloomberg has...'
lol... the central bankers dilema
it is all fake anyway... none of this is real, just an imaginary show to keep us all occupied...
crash jp morgan. end the fed. buy silver.. www.silverrevolucion.com
Where do they get off plotting the US at 1.x percent on the 'Inflation' x-axis, when year-on-year CPI is running at 3.6%?
Oh, right -- this chart uses phony-ass ex-food, ex-fuel, PCE central bankster massaged numbers. Making it rather useless. Nice concept, though.
An honest plot would put the US in the upper right 'Stagflation' quadrant.
Nobody gonna soft-soap me with a bucketfull of hope. It's money for dope, money for rope.
Exactly. The US and Canada are joined at the hip. No way the inflation rates are that different between the two.
It matters not what the administration does, what the bankers do and mostly what the Fed does. At this point, Americans have lost all confidence in the Orator in Chief, a man once purported by the ubber left to be "a God".
The real tragedy here is the loss of middle class America. Our savings have been quietly looted through inflation and artificially low interest rates, which have to some extent, served their intended purpose. The low rates have slowed the outflow of monies paid on debt interest, but they have eviscerated the savers of America by stealing all return on investment from retirees and those who were prudent.
It is the intention of this Fed chairman to force those with cash to put it in to the market, however, after yesterday's Armageddon, I think he will walk away disappointed. No, i see yet another round of quantitative easing to replace the once organic growth in this country, growth by the way which was brought about for many years by the very middle class the administration has very nearly succeeded in eviscerating.
What a fucking tragedy.
I concur...
Good foot soldier for the banking oligarchs you are, whether you know it or not. This isn't about the president or politics. John Doe has the upper hand and we are all Gwyneth Paltrow.
I respectfully disagree [mostly anyway]. This has very much to do with politics friend, as we have witnessed over the last 16 months of debate over the debt ceiling, war spending, the housing debacle and the banking collapse [well.....near collapse].
The complete lack of prosecution for the theft of many trillions of dollars, the lack of prosecution of known criminals such as Angelo Mozilla, et. al., has left a sour taste in the mouths of middle Americans.
The POTUS has lost any and all credibility as he spends his weekends on the links, purportedly discussing important matters such as the four wars in MINA, our mounting debt woes and other important issues of this day. Rather than stand tall and hold himself accountable, this man points fingers and blames everyone but himself for the problem du jour. He refuses to accept that perhaps his own policies have somehow not created the prosperity he promised us in 2008. He is blind to the suffering of middle America.
No, good sir, politics has everything to do with our current set of woes, and will continue to be a roadblock to our recovery.
I heard him saying that the politics are theater to keep us all distracted while the real crime is in progress.
And only people's rooting interests keep them from that simple truth. How else can you explain "conservative" presidents who massively expand government and "progressive" presidents who extend and start new wars while supporting our system of finance fascism. The biggest lies seem to be the easiest for people to accept as truth. Sure, those on the "right" will say, "those guys were republicans in name only... they lost their way" and those on the "left" will make similar excuses for their guys... maybe blame it on the need to be "pragmatic" in our two party system. There aren't two parties. There hasn't been two parties for a very long time.
Yes, these political debates get tiresome.
At a certain point everybody realizes that party doesn't matter, unless they refuse to look at the problem by blinding themselves with rhetoric.
The parties are all just corporate shills.
William Greider wrote a book several years ago. I believe it was around 2002-2003, that he titled "Who Will Tell The People". Unfortunately, his observations have only become more powerful. Instead of trying to place blame on the R's or on the D's (the Tea Party people really don't have a clue), the broken political enterprise of the US of A can only begin to reset when corporate money flowing to support the real law makers on K Street is finally stopped.
If Money actually equaled Speech, then the very bright creators of this Republic would have mentioned it in the the original documents or the amendments.
Bill
I disagree about "the real tragedy is the loss of wealth of the middle class...". You people were avid cheerleaders of the banksters' genocidal barbarism. I believe the expression was," my country wrong or right". Now you must pay for your sins. As simple as that. To those lamenting the death of "seal team 6": they were the thugs on the ground for the murderous, evil banksters. Once you start killing you forfeit God's love for you.
KKKarma, bitchez!
And I know many here question God and Providence in your Holly-wood materialistic, vain, bankster psyops created reality; don't worry, you'll be on your knees soon enough!
Agreed, politics have completely replaced the rule of law and the buck stops with Obama. He has sold every deal to the public and the DoJ is entirely under HIS control.
The buck doesn't stop with Obama. We need to find out who programs the teleprompter... that's where the buck stop. It's like blaming the news anchor for what he's reading.
There's some truth in that. On the other hand, it's Obama making and selling the deals. At some point, you have to blame the shooter and not the gun manufacturers. Yet there is a larger picture to be addressed . . .
I'm sure you and I agree on far more than we disagree. In this case, I don't think Obama is "making" the deals... but he certainly is selling them. And for that, he is completely culpable. To be clear... I'm in no way defending Obama... I just don't think he's where the blame should be placed.
I know what you mean. Perhaps I should modify to the blame for the publicly visible charade belongs on Obama, but there's even more to be apportioned for controlling actions behind the curtain.
But, but the President said that the USA is triple-A and that that nasty, NAUGHTY ratting agency (tm) GOT IT WRONG!!!!!
(so there -- everything's AOK buddy)
The FED has the Gov't as a partner-- together they will hold down wages and employment to fight inflation, debase the currency vis-a-vis the basket to keep up corporate profits(GDP) and move the bubble to the left and up. Recession,depression for 90 percent with profits and production for 10 percent.
Want to know what happened at the G7 meeting on the weekend? Mr Flaherty will tell you:

This situation reminds me of a sick child that needs to take it's medicine to get better and a lazy indulgent parent that can't be bothered to force the stuff down the kid's throat.
It's time to sit on the little fucker, hold it's nose and stick the spoon in it's mouth and be done with it!
Sometimes the kid is too big, is aversive to discomfort and logic, and thus it is a lost cause.
And the drum beat to a big war gets louder......
World war would be QE on an epic scale. The banksters would love it.
Cool. Draft bankster brats first and politicians' kids second.
Now THAT'S rich...
will this chart be revised up or down next week?
They all look like bubbles to me.
expect to see Aust. to bang hard right against the 6 on inflation scale, as their dollar drops in value, and everything they import; and they import everything, goes thru the roof.
Outstanding chart...any idea who created it???
a total piece of crap. falling prices under a regime of a fixed monetary supply is ideal, no matter how much total unemployment you have at any given time.
rank keynesianism is so religious that i might as well draw a chart of how much politicians love jesus vs. how close they are to heaven.
and then throw darts at it.
The government needs to understand that their worst fear are the people with nothing left to lose. Look at the riots in London and who are doing them.....
The US population of this class of people is growing. Be afraid, Very afraid.....
Maybe I'm inexperienced, but what is wrong with being at the lower left corner?
