let's get one thing straight

we dont need more INVESTMENT

we need more CONSUMPTION.

although investment is a form of consumption, ONLY MIDDLE CLASS
CONSUMPTION can pull us out of the depression

and wall street is NOT gonna let that happen


You can't get consumption without jobs and the only way we get that is
by expansion. It is clear the stimulus money just went into rich
people's pockets and not much actually got invested in expanded
industry. (thanks for a "no stimulus" stimulus bill)


Expansionary like Obama/Bernanke? Nope, that is inflation and fraud.
Real wealth and exconomic expansion occurs with wealth producing jobs.
More value added jobs, not the consumption kind.

You cannot create wealth with debt. You can steal it from our grand
children by saddling them with debt, but wealth has not been created and
thus unsustainable.

Wealth is mining some gold, growing some corn, producing something of
value that didn't exist before. A consumption job is a politician, a
jail or war. Bombing Libya does not create wealth, it consumes it.
Opening up a cotton mill and growing food is wealth.

Money is just like stock, if you double the money supply with debt, then
each stock is worth 1/2 as much as before. Printing and debt fraud
isn't going to work. It just makes the inevitable a worse than before.

Roman Empire fell for the same reasons. No one wanted to make sandles
or be a farmer, everyone wanted to be a top heavy statesmen, academic or
arts. When society became poorly productive, decay set in. At one
point, confiscating wealth to keep the empire ruse going. So Roman
Empire collapsed as producers were not getting enough and the
non-producers were getting too much.

Same problem exists today. Far too many on the consumption side and not
enough on the producting wealth side of the fence. This is causing the
economic breakdown as no value o the producers to continue losing welth
to a failing empire of government and consumption greed.

There are plenty of stim projects underway, even if you don't believe
it or think they're working. They are working. We need more of them.

Name 10 of them.

LOL! It's a joke... I won't hold my breath.


http://stimuluswatch.org/index.php/project/by_state


When I look at the ones around here they are the same projects that we
would expect the government to kick in money into ... FROM OUR GAS
TAXES.
We are sending 38 cents a gallon off to DC and they dribble about half
of it back to us. That is not stimulus, it is government as usual.


Government consumes wealth. Lucky you are getting much back at all.

the only way we get expansion is with more money going to consumers,
NOT to the richest 1%. the american right wants ONLY increases in
capital for the already rich.

and the wall street excesses of the bush years amounted to a MASSIVE
transfer of wealth from the productive middle class to the non
productive capital gains class.

and the right wants to continue this. look at what the morons said in
last night's debate....eliminate capital gains taxes on the
wealthy...that's their ONLY economic program.

it's a failure


And Obama signed the checks.

Fast way to scare off investment. In todays market, 5 years is not even

some guarantees no one will or can make.


A huge part of our problem is that businesses work in 90 day windows
while out competition in China looks at decades at a time.

For example, if you give me a 20 year tax rate guarantee for property
and income tax that I like, I would buy a Florida property tomorrow
morning. But with the debts out of control, I will hold off and decline
thank you. No sense in moving to the taxed poor districts of USA. And
Florida is one of the better places.


There is no income tax in Florida and we have SOH limits on property
taxes. That may actually be a bad thing because if we get a round of
massive inflation, the local communities may go broke. They were
certainly fat during the housing boom because the property taxes were
pegged to the sale prices and they were fantasy. The smart communities
like mine banked that excess money. although we did let the school
board get out of control ($20k per student kind of out of control)


Not really. Limiting government taxes is good. Can't keep raising
taxes into perpetuity or you quickly become state debt-tax slaves. What
is missing though is the removal of governments saddling debt into the
system. That is, funding the excess with a credit card. That bypasses
the intent of the limiting taxes and thus is fraud on the intent for
people to maintain some economic freedom.

The reality is, government is living beyond its means using debt fraud
to fund it.

Bottom line, they have to cut spending and start paying those debts. If
that means tossing some politicially sacred cows and union ass to the
pavement, start throwing. No reason why everybody has to suffer but for
government. Do the socialist thing, share the pain not just the gain.

I was wondering why the democrat pundit was pushing 401's as the
"safest" way to go right now... "FREE MONEY" he said, "from your
employer". I guess it makes sense now, then they can tax the crap out of
you and your employer... :(


As of last year I ceased contributing to tax deferred funds. As the
fleabaggers look with envy and greed at those fat juicy taxable 401K/IRA
(RRSP/LIRA for Canada).

The idea is I want my money liquid and free to move fast without tax
issues if the governments don't fix their fraud and misbehavior. Study
of why Roman Empire fell is a good read, just government greed and
corruption.

fleabagger debt spend does not work. Took 6 years of restraint to cover

uh...why did the depression end in 39?

did something happen in 39? uh yeah...the US started to spend for ww2

canuck's moronic view of economics is exceeded only by his ignorance
of history

It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.

So, money was spent by the US gov't. This stabilized the economy.
Thanks for the confirmation.


It was just like any other business deal. The corporations were told
that if they made and sold the items now they would get some money down
the road. This loaded up the companies billables and they could use that
to borrow against.


Which is exactly what happens when the gov't pumps money into the
economy for things like the STIM. Jobs are created and people pay
taxes. Same with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. All those people are still
employed and paying taxes.

The best bang for your buck (other than a war) are things like food
stamps. That money returns to the economy immediately, and is a net
positive, esp. in the short term.


Look up the fine print of lend lease. First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. And no government debt for it.

It was also precipitated by the ned for war munitions and goods for the
world. No such needs to that level are needed today. But could be why
Obama is war hungry. A bad mad debtor.

Third element, it didn't have a debt battered business base. Debt of
government, business and people were relatively low compared to today.
Some economists say the end of the depression may have occured anyways
and in fact had already started before WW II.

The employer is not going to be taxed but I bet those people taking
their 401k money out in the future will get their ass kicked on it.

Right now a worker would be paying a very minimal tax on this money
but I bet those numbers will go up sharply as we try to dig our way
out of crushing debt.


That's the point... Get you to put as much of your savings into one
account (to be taxed later, big time) and get your company to match the
money going in... Then when they do hit you with taxes they get to tax
all of your savings, basically twice as they collect on what the company
put in too;)

yep, the right keeps confirming that LIBERALS have the right ideas.
LIBERAL KEYNESIAN economcs, not right wing bull****, makes an economy
grow.

yet the right wants to continue its bizarre faith based economics.


There was a lot more complexity to the investment in WWII.

We were investing our money in an enterprise to destroy all of our
competition ... literally.


Yep. Just raises costs, making USA less competitive.

We built the bombs that laid waste to the industrial capacity of
virtually all of our competition while the rest of the western world
paid us to build them more bombs.


Some big truth to that. Still goes on too in economic outflow of wealth.

That is not likely to happen today. The industrial capacity has left
the country. If for some strange reason we reenacted WWII today, China
would win, simply because they have the industrial capacity to build
all the weapons to arm their 100 million man army and still export
weapons for the rest of the world.


Only way USA could win is a pre-emptive massive nuclear attach. Would
result in Russia stepping in. Everyone a loser is USA's best scenario.

Worst scenario, USA is a third world country as the currency collapses.
Which is were it is headed. $10,000 a barrel? Think it is a joke?
Study Zimbabwe. Can't print your way out of debt, but you can dilute
your currency to a much lower value.

Nukes have made that an unlikely prospect tho. That is why we have had
to declare wars, for no particular reason, on backward countries who
can't really fight back. Our idea of the WWII prosperity today is the
million dollars a man we **** away in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is
really not providing much employment and we are doing more damage to
our own economy than we are to the rest of the world.

WWII analogies simply do not apply.


Yep, with nukes, it is he MAD principle. Imagine, China could field
3,000,000 troupes in BC and take over Canada as fast as their tanks
could travel. Have a border skirmish with an economically decimated USA.

Real problem here is China is bailing out the USA with its policies. It
sees USA going down as bad for them. They in fact support the value of
a USD. But I question how long they can prop up the value of a USD. In
reality it needs to be massively devalued....

Which is why Obama opens up on China then quietly shuts up. China just
might write off $2T of bad US debt and let USA take its chances with the
valueless dollar. Would make oil for Chinese cheaper.

Watch Chinese inflation, that is where the weak USD is driving the
pressures. If the Chinese let the USD float down in value, the USA will
see major inflation pressures.

Bottom line, US economics is now owned by China. Far too much money
expansion from the US Fed and government debt to stop it now. The
reality hasn't set in, but China is already in many ways the #1 world
economy.

Keynes was an unemployed liberal economist looking for a job, so he told
politicians what they wanted to here.

3 years of Keynes and just a load of debt to show for it. No results,
just more bu11sh1t.

I do actually think Keynews could work if enhanced to include the
concept of a reserve fund. During fat times, no debt, governments
hoards cash to have a solid reserve and avoid greed. Even cut
government in good times. But the lack of a reserve is why Keynes is
full of sh1t.

You can't debt-spend your way out of a debt problem. Keynes does not
properly even apply. Fact is, your not paying your bills with real
money. Just paying with BS and a prayer, and sooner or later that
bubble will pop.

Never mind. You're hiding. I forgot.

You got tired of have no facts. You started the insults, but you're
not going to admit it. Did I call you a moron or an asshole? Did I
claim you have a small ding dong? No. What was this terrible insult?
Oh, I think it was "you're delusional if you think...."

How terrible. You must have a very thin skin. I apologize.


If you did two things people would respect you more.

1) No whine and fleabagger chirp towards others.
2) If you don't know anything, shut up an listen.

So how is our welfare mama doing today? Give us a laugh at least.

There is no income tax in Florida and we have SOH limits on property
taxes. That may actually be a bad thing because if we get a round of
massive inflation, the local communities may go broke. They were
certainly fat during the housing boom because the property taxes were
pegged to the sale prices and they were fantasy. The smart communities

board get out of control ($20k per student kind of out of control)


I was wondering why the democrat pundit was pushing 401's as the
"safest" way to go right now... "FREE MONEY" he said, "from your
employer". I guess it makes sense now, then they can tax the crap out of
you and your employer... :(


The employer is not going to be taxed but I bet those people taking
their 401k money out in the future will get their ass kicked on it.

Right now a worker would be paying a very minimal tax on this money
but I bet those numbers will go up sharply as we try to dig our way
out of crushing debt.


401Ks are taxed as regular income if you're over the line. Is this
new? No. Taxes will go up. Some should consider converting to Roths.

It's expected that your income will be less when you retire.

Not really. Limiting government taxes is good. Can't keep raising
taxes into perpetuity or you quickly become state debt-tax slaves. What
is missing though is the removal of governments saddling debt into the
system. That is, funding the excess with a credit card. That bypasses
the intent of the limiting taxes and thus is fraud on the intent for
people to maintain some economic freedom.

The reality is, government is living beyond its means using debt fraud
to fund it.

Bottom line, they have to cut spending and start paying those debts. If
that means tossing some politicially sacred cows and union ass to the
pavement, start throwing. No reason why everybody has to suffer but for
government. Do the socialist thing, share the pain not just the gain.


Good grief... your stupid statements cannot be attributed to your

It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.

So, money was spent by the US gov't. This stabilized the economy.
Thanks for the confirmation.

It was just like any other business deal. The corporations were told
that if they made and sold the items now they would get some money down
the road. This loaded up the companies billables and they could use that
to borrow against.


Which is exactly what happens when the gov't pumps money into the
economy for things like the STIM. Jobs are created and people pay
taxes. Same with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. All those people are still
employed and paying taxes.

The best bang for your buck (other than a war) are things like food
stamps. That money returns to the economy immediately, and is a net
positive, esp. in the short term.


Look up the fine print of lend lease. First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. And no government debt for it.

It was also precipitated by the ned for war munitions and goods for the
world. No such needs to that level are needed today. But could be why
Obama is war hungry. A bad mad debtor.

Third element, it didn't have a debt battered business base. Debt of
government, business and people were relatively low compared to today.
Some economists say the end of the depression may have occured anyways
and in fact had already started before WW II.


The US gov't was going broke during WWII. That's what the bond push
was all about.

For God's sake, look things up before you quack.

So, Greenspan was an oracle? Not really...

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/bu...y/24panel.html


Greenspan had it partially right but the cause was government and US Fed
ponzi policies.

Lending money at below market rates caused it. There hasn't been
supply/demand in lending/borrowing for some time. The idea that
government sets the rates IS the problem and the market was not allowed
this correction.

If it was the market driving, too much borrowing would be offset by a
shortage of cash to lend and rates would go up. But the US Fed/Congress
flooded the market with cheap undervalued money. Causing the market for
debt to economy to inflate, and then someone wanted to be paid.

Still is a problem too. Government needs to borrow real money and stop
the devaluing money print NOW before a major currency run starts.

let's get one thing straight

we dont need more INVESTMENT

we need more CONSUMPTION.

although investment is a form of consumption, ONLY MIDDLE CLASS
CONSUMPTION can pull us out of the depression

and wall street is NOT gonna let that happen

You can't get consumption without jobs and the only way we get that is
by expansion. It is clear the stimulus money just went into rich
people's pockets and not much actually got invested in expanded
industry. (thanks for a "no stimulus" stimulus bill)

There are plenty of stim projects underway, even if you don't believe
it or think they're working. They are working. We need more of them.

Name 10 of them.

LOL! It's a joke... I won't hold my breath.

http://stimuluswatch.org/index.php/project/by_state


When I look at the ones around here they are the same projects that we
would expect the government to kick in money into ... FROM OUR GAS
TAXES.
We are sending 38 cents a gallon off to DC and they dribble about half
of it back to us. That is not stimulus, it is government as usual.


Government consumes wealth. Lucky you are getting much back at all.


Well, if you look at the figures, California (with it's 6 figure
lifeguards at the beach), Florida, New York, and wonder of wonders,
Illinois got the most porkulous money...snerk


Isn't Illinois going through some corruption issues, yep, where Obama
came from on his last just visiting?

Explain the "cash account" thing?

I agree 401ks are a time bomb and I think we ain't seen nothin yet on
those taxes.



You wouldn't get the full tax break until it was held 5 years and make
it a higher percentage ending at the regular income rate at 1 or 2
years.

Fast way to scare off investment. In todays market, 5 years is not even
calculated. Too many changes coming for a commitment that long without
some guarantees no one will or can make.

A huge part of our problem is that businesses work in 90 day windows
while out competition in China looks at decades at a time.

For example, if you give me a 20 year tax rate guarantee for property
and income tax that I like, I would buy a Florida property tomorrow
morning. But with the debts out of control, I will hold off and decline
thank you. No sense in moving to the taxed poor districts of USA. And
Florida is one of the better places.


There is no income tax in Florida and we have SOH limits on property
taxes. That may actually be a bad thing because if we get a round of
massive inflation, the local communities may go broke. They were
certainly fat during the housing boom because the property taxes were
pegged to the sale prices and they were fantasy. The smart communities
like mine banked that excess money. although we did let the school
board get out of control ($20k per student kind of out of control)

I was wondering why the democrat pundit was pushing 401's as the
"safest" way to go right now... "FREE MONEY" he said, "from your
employer". I guess it makes sense now, then they can tax the crap out of
you and your employer... :(


The employer is not going to be taxed but I bet those people taking
their 401k money out in the future will get their ass kicked on it.

Right now a worker would be paying a very minimal tax on this money
but I bet those numbers will go up sharply as we try to dig our way
out of crushing debt.


That's the point... Get you to put as much of your savings into one
account (to be taxed later, big time) and get your company to match the
money going in... Then when they do hit you with taxes they get to tax
all of your savings, basically twice as they collect on what the company
put in too;)


Not only that, the serices you get cost more because they have to pay taxes.

Taxation as inflation. A real concept actually. How a 1% increase in
taxes can cause 4% of inflation if the right circumstances exist. And
they often do.

Tax-sheltered retirement income is taxed as ordinary income when
distributed.
Always was, is, always will be.
It's expected that your income will be less when you retire.
You might be able to use Roth IRA's to some extent if you think working
vs. retirement yaxes will flip on you.
Normally it doesn't work that way.
Basically you've said if you're outside when it rains you'll get wet.

but I bet those numbers will go up sharply as we try to dig our way

Depends on income, but you have a point there.
Low income workers could lose by saving.
Here's the bright side.
Low income worker don't have any ****ing money to save.


What if everyone thinks the current tax on 401's is ok, tolerable so
they pump them up, and then "somebody" decides to say, triple the tax on
the 401's????


That is why I recommend a blended approach. Save inside and outside of
the 401K/IRA. So if you have a good investment year with gains, you
haul out less on the 401K. If you have a low year, haul out to the
lower tax rates. That is, use the 401K to control your total taxable
income.

If you are low income low tax already, unless the employer matches it,
you better of in a ROTH than 401K/IRA as you want only the high taxed
dollars into the 401K/IRA. That is, get a 30% deduction in, and
withdraw at 10% out.

fleabagger debt spend does not work. Took 6 years of restraint to cover

really?

uh...why did the depression end in 39?

did something happen in 39? uh yeah...the US started to spend for ww2

canuck's moronic view of economics is exceeded only by his ignorance
of history

It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.

So, money was spent by the US gov't. This stabilized the economy.
Thanks for the confirmation.

It was just like any other business deal. The corporations were told
that if they made and sold the items now they would get some money down
the road. This loaded up the companies billables and they could use that
to borrow against.

Which is exactly what happens when the gov't pumps money into the
economy for things like the STIM. Jobs are created and people pay
taxes. Same with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. All those people are still
employed and paying taxes.

The best bang for your buck (other than a war) are things like food
stamps. That money returns to the economy immediately, and is a net
positive, esp. in the short term.


Look up the fine print of lend lease. First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. And no government debt for it.

It was also precipitated by the ned for war munitions and goods for the
world. No such needs to that level are needed today. But could be why
Obama is war hungry. A bad mad debtor.

Third element, it didn't have a debt battered business base. Debt of
government, business and people were relatively low compared to today.
Some economists say the end of the depression may have occured anyways
and in fact had already started before WW II.


The US gov't was going broke during WWII. That's what the bond push
was all about.

For God's sake, look things up before you quack.


But that was for US weapons not forign weapons....look it up dough brain.

That was when the rest of the world was borrowing from us.

Bob, do you see the difference?


Greg, do you see that the US gov't was injecting money into the
economy? Do you see why it doesn't make much difference how it does it
and that via a war isn't exactly the best way to do that... unless you
don't mind killing a lot of people in the name of profit of course.

Never mind. You're hiding. I forgot.

Greg isn't hiding.I see all of his posts. Check your filters.

You got tired of have no facts. You started the insults, but you're
not going to admit it. Did I call you a moron or an asshole? Did I
claim you have a small ding dong? No. What was this terrible insult?
Oh, I think it was "you're delusional if you think...."

How terrible. You must have a very thin skin. I apologize.


That's very nice, if sincere.
If Greg bites there might be 2 intelligent people talking at once here.
When cannuck is one side that's impossible.


Why? Because I don't tolerate fleabagger whining, excuses, belly
aching, smear, fear and feed their need for denial of reality?

2006 congress had senate and congress democrats, they sat in January

congressional money for nothing scared a liquidity crisis. Democrats
ignored it and it lead to Sept 2008.

CSE's ruined the economy. they allowed banks to run themselves

they were closed down after it became apparent banks could not
regulate themselves...in 2006 after a 10 year run

even canuck admits the dems had only taken office when the economy
collapsed

this is AFTER the GOP ran it for 6 years. and ran it into the ground
AFTER deregulating the banks

the right pushed deregulation

the right pushed MASSIVE tax cuts that bankrupted the country

the right started thw war in iraq that cost a trillion

and yet he blames the dems who had no role in this whatsoever

that's what the right does. lies.


But Obama 2008, was too stupid to realize Reagan was right, government

You can see this in that government revenue has plummeted. Very

economy, smart money knows it is more future taxes and labour unrest.
That scares off investors creating jobs making problems worse and not
