Funny!  Thanks.

Damn, it sure was quiet.  Lots of great graphs and charts, but I was making up my own story?

Great presentation. Good work. We need more people that are willing to speak out and inform the dumbed down public.

One can always gain important insights into the intelligence, bias, and true interest behind a presentation by the charts whose Y-axis should be in a log or percentage scale, but are not...

And it saves one from wasting their precious time reading, garbage.

Which slide was the logarithmically deficient one?

There are a few; slide 10 being the first.  The defense spending $ should be in log.  Doing so would portray the size and relative relationship of the blue bars to each other in a true relationship.  Easiest way to visualize is to note the doubling.  In a log scale each doubling would take place in an equal vertical distance.  Result being a rough percentage relationship of blue bars to be compared to the red line that is a percentage relationship of debt to GDP.  But doing so would rob the author of his ability to "wow" those who sat in high-school mathematics and said it was BS.  These are the same urchins who told their parents and teachers that they would never need to learn such details of mathematics since they would never be needed in life; they were going to be sports stars, or rock stars, or take over daddy's business or devote their life to noble things like social justice, or medicine, or the arts....

Median Single-Family home price in ounces of gold is a stunner (page 51).

Homes were overvalued (along with equities) while gold was devalued.

Those are very informative charts and graphics. Thank you very much!

I wonder if Bennie, Timmah, anyone at the FED, TOTUS or the CBO has ever seen charts like these...or how to use them correctly?

Gundlach’s powerful and candid economic picture of the Empire lays bare the emperor without his clothes; the BLS and Eurostat are mere façades for a contrived media-propagandized society where the people’s true economic fate is camouflaged in statistical word wizardry.

But, thank God, it’s ending. Famines, riots, revolutions and wars are soon to break this hegemony of banker parasitism destroying the economic well being of the people of the world.

As for the world’s bought and paid for economists, it’s telling that it was a Rockefeller Foundation grant that helped establish the National Bureau of Economic Research whose “studies” dominate the world of American business.

According to Wikipedia:

 The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is an American private nonprofit research organization "committed to undertaking and disseminating unbiased economic research among public policymakers, business professionals, and the academic community."[1] The NBER is well known for providing start and end dates for recessions in the United States.

The NBER is the largest economics research organization in the United States.[2] Many of the American winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics were NBER Research Associates. Many of the Chairmen of the Council of Economic Advisers have also been NBER Research Associates, including the former NBER President and Harvard Professor, Martin Feldstein.

The NBER's current President and CEO is Professor James M. Poterba of MIT (who authored Tax Policy to Combat Global Warming: On Designing a Carbon Tax and co-authored Global Warming: Economic Policy Responses).

46/70 is a real eye opener.  How low will it go?  I suspect it will continue to drop significantly in the coming years of course.

Working in the public sector pays better all  around. Huge difference in pay, a lot less stress, a jumbo retirement package with ever increasing pension payments to retirees. Public workers want more, the government enablers just raise taxes. In the mean time CEOs of companies want more profits and bonuses so they offshore and cut cost along with raising prices.
