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.

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.


yep. a govt spending program.


That is not likely to happen today.


absolutely agree. the right wing believes in 'american exceptionalism'
which is another term for '**** the US'


he industrial capacity has left
the country.


yep. we destroyed the unions and manufactuing. cause and effect.
strong unions lead to strong manufacturing



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.


sure they do. govt spending is govt spending. deficit spending is
deficit spending. the results are the same

Yep. Just raises costs, making USA less competitive.


funny that countreis with strong unions have the strongest
manufacturing.


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.



HAHAHAH guess he forgot the keynesian dictim

if you owe the bank $1000 you have a problem

if you owe $1 million, the bank has a problem


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.


really? from where? the non existent pay increases of the middle
class? the renmimbi is undervalued and has been for years

you're just too stupid to know that


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.


the chinese hold about 5% of US debt

so tell me again how they rule us

Keynes was an unemployed liberal economist looking for a job, so he told

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


HAHAHAHA you apparently never heard of 1929! we DIDNT do what keynes
recommended

how'd that work out?? ROFLMAO!


You can't debt-spend your way out of a debt problem


sure you can. the US did it in 1939 when we started spending on ww2

idiot

We have borrowed and spent our self to near insolvency.

actually what we did is transfer a massive amount of wealth to the

and yes, borrow and spend does work. in fact it's how the 29
depression ended.

what wrecked us is wall street taking money and turning into a non

meaningless cliches.


It may be a meaningless cliche but you go on to demonstrate why it is

so the rich structured financial policy in the US so that

-the middle clss got gutted
-they made HUGE amounts of money

yep.the right wing has controlled the economic debate for 30 years.
that's pretty much right

yep.

Then you had the Clinton era deregulation that made the idea of money
making money more attractive than actually making anything.


yep. authored by a GOP congress...repeal of glass steagall made the
banks free to do what they wanted


That just made the banks free to consolidate (AKA too big to fail)


and the right defends this.


then came consolidated supervised entities...the final coup de grace
authored by george bush and the right wing GOP congress where the
banks promised to regulate themselves and be good. honest!!! TRULY!!


Which bill was that?]


it wasnt a BILL it was a regulatory (or lack of regulatory) scheme
called 'consolidated supervised entities' where investment firms
promised, on the souls of their grandchildren, to regulate themselves.

and we all know how that worked out. but the right still thinks it's a
good idea

That started in the 90s (GHW Bush/Clinton)
Then you had the Clinton era deregulation that made the idea of money

Most of that Clinton era business boom was just an illusion (fraud,
phony profits and irrational exuberance in the stock market) and the
GW Bush boom was all based on borrowing money that didn't exist.

The people who got rich were the ones who knew when to cash in before
both bubbles popped.


And the only politician to call it right on, Ron Paul.

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

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.


How much of the "STIM" money has been spent and what was it spent on?

It is funny that when some try to tell us that the only way to make

Governments do not generate wealth. The only thing governments are good

the same as he was. I was 25 years old and had no degree from anywhere.

Vanderbilt's and the Mellon's?

Again what is social mobility?

I think you have a warped view of success. They guy who used to live

executive vice president at an international commercial real-estate
corporation. He is also on the board of directors for a national

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.



The projects I see going on here have been on the master plan for
decades. I haven't seen them even talking about a new project.


They are finally building the ICC in Maryland. From I-270 at
Gaithersburg to I-95 in Laural. It only took 40 some odd years to get
past all of the planning, lawsuits and bull****.

They opened the first section for two weeks for free. They had 30,000
cars a day using the road. Then they turned on the automated toll, E-Z
Pass, and the number of cars dropped to less than 9,000 a day and has

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.


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.


I think they are going to try to discourage people from cashing out
their 401ks to try to save the stock market. That usually happens in
the tax code.


I highly doubt that would fly.
As I've said, 401k's have always been sold as taxable as ordinary
income. Changing those rules would **** people off more than Ryan's
Medicare destruction plan.

There is a big problem coming when 83 million boomers do start pulling
that much money out of the market and there is not the excess income
coming along behind them to replace it. It is just another example of
the demographic problem that is going to threaten our whole pension
model. The only one we are really acknowledging is SS but all of the
pay as you go programs are threatened the same way.

I think you overstate the entire boomer deal.
I've seen there were only 76 million boomers ever born.
They span 16-18 years, so don't hit entitlements at once.
Many are already dead and never hit entitlements.
As some come into entitlements, others go to St. Peter.
Boomer life expectancy is about 69 years.
So the idea that they all live into their 80's and 90's is a myth.
As far as pulling money out of Wall Street, some.
But a lot will still be there when they kick off.
Hardly anybody with savings dies broke.
Tax policy is far more likely to hit inheritors and so keep equities
uncashed.


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.


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.



These days the closest thing to a pension people have is the 401k


Stop right there. The closest thing MOST people have to a pension in
the the U.S. is SS. You still don't understand that.
I don't have figures, but a wild guess is less than half of current
workers even have money in a 401k, and far fewer significant money.
100% of them have SS, with some special exceptions.

and
if your employer will match, you should save all he matches.
I would not be shocked to see legislation that requires a certain
level of 401k savings ... for the same reason mentioned above, to
replace some of that boomer money that is coming out of the equities.


I would be shocked at forced 401k contributions.

What you're saying is the government would force worker taxation be
paid directly to Wall Strett fat cats.

educate you

-in teh US, the biggest predictor of income level is your father's
income


When my father retired in 1984 as an O-5 in the US Navy, as a graduate
of the USNA and holding a MS from the US Navy PG School, I was earning
the same as he was. I was 25 years old and had no degree from anywhere.


why does the right wing think their little bull**** stories have
anything to o with reality? have you ****ers looked out a window
lately?

really?


-the US has lower social mobility than SWEDEN


Again what is social mobility?


if you dont know what it is

and are truly too stupid to google it

then you're right wing


-a college educated person from the LOWEST QUINTILE has LESS of a
chance of breaking into the TOP quintile than a NON college educated
person whose parents are already in teh top quintile


You sure are hung up on this social mobility thing.


AKA the 'american dream'

ever hear of it, right wnger?


and yet you right wing MORONS still believe the amercan dream BULL****


I think you have a warped view of success. They guy who used to live
next door to me started out as a process server. He was a very good
process server. He then went into commercial real-estate. He is now and
executive vice president at an international commercial real-estate
corporation. He is also on the board of directors for a national
charitable organization. He has also met with, meaing actually talked
with for more than 20 minutes each, about 15 leaders of countries around
the world.

more reader's digest bull****


Risk and reward. What are you willing to risk to receive the reward? Are
you willing to invest all of your money?


HAHAHAH he beleives that wall street EARNED the money they stole!


Did you lose money on a stock deal some time in the past? You sure do
have a hard-on for wall street.


HAHAHAHAH aint that a shame!

how's wall street doing for us? the US doing OK

you really are stupid, arent you? and PROUD of it!!

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?


So, you believe that because someone lived in a place they are
responsible for that place ever after. Typical moronic comment.

The employer is not going to be taxed but I bet those people taking

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.


I think they are going to try to discourage people from cashing out
their 401ks to try to save the stock market. That usually happens in
the tax code.


I highly doubt that would fly.
As I've said, 401k's have always been sold as taxable as ordinary
income. Changing those rules would **** people off more than Ryan's
Medicare destruction plan.

There is a big problem coming when 83 million boomers do start pulling
that much money out of the market and there is not the excess income
coming along behind them to replace it. It is just another example of
the demographic problem that is going to threaten our whole pension
model. The only one we are really acknowledging is SS but all of the
pay as you go programs are threatened the same way.

I think you overstate the entire boomer deal.
I've seen there were only 76 million boomers ever born.
They span 16-18 years, so don't hit entitlements at once.
Many are already dead and never hit entitlements.
As some come into entitlements, others go to St. Peter.
Boomer life expectancy is about 69 years.
So the idea that they all live into their 80's and 90's is a myth.
As far as pulling money out of Wall Street, some.
But a lot will still be there when they kick off.
Hardly anybody with savings dies broke.
Tax policy is far more likely to hit inheritors and so keep equities
uncashed.


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.

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.



These days the closest thing to a pension people have is the 401k


Stop right there. The closest thing MOST people have to a pension in
the the U.S. is SS. You still don't understand that.
I don't have figures, but a wild guess is less than half of current
workers even have money in a 401k, and far fewer significant money.
100% of them have SS, with some special exceptions.

and
if your employer will match, you should save all he matches.
I would not be shocked to see legislation that requires a certain
level of 401k savings ... for the same reason mentioned above, to
replace some of that boomer money that is coming out of the equities.


I would be shocked at forced 401k contributions.
Wouldn't be shocked by the revolution that follows.
What you're saying is the government would force worker taxation be
paid directly to Wall Strett fat cats.

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.


Bozo... we're talking about gov't spending. Gov't spent. The economy
recovered. I know it's a difficult concept for someone of your low
intellect...

Because government tax policies and import policies made it a lot more

That started in the 90s (GHW Bush/Clinton)
Then you had the Clinton era deregulation that made the idea of money
making money more attractive than actually making anything.
Most of that Clinton era business boom was just an illusion (fraud,
phony profits and irrational exuberance in the stock market) and the
GW Bush boom was all based on borrowing money that didn't exist.

The people who got rich were the ones who knew when to cash in before
both bubbles popped.


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.


Thus, Greenspan screwed up. Try reading for comprehension next time.

2006 congress had senate and congress democrats, they sat in January
2007, just when unemployment started rising. Later that year
congressional money for nothing scared a liquidity crisis. Democrats
ignored it and it lead to Sept 2008.


let's see how his facts stand up

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
isn't the solution, government is the problem.


HAHAHAHAHA let's see...we deregulated the banks

how'd that work out??


Greg has filled your stories full of holes on this one several times..
Give it up...

Because government tax policies and import policies made it a lot more
profitable to make things offshore and import them.
That started in the 90s (GHW Bush/Clinton)
Then you had the Clinton era deregulation that made the idea of money
making money more attractive than actually making anything.
Most of that Clinton era business boom was just an illusion (fraud,
phony profits and irrational exuberance in the stock market) and the
GW Bush boom was all based on borrowing money that didn't exist.

The people who got rich were the ones who knew when to cash in before
both bubbles popped.


And the only politician to call it right on, Ron Paul.

Actually Ron Paul was the only one to call several economic disasters

will not be President, but would make one hell of an advisor. Probably the
best candidate and will also not get the nod, is Newt G. He was the one who
balanced Clinton's budgets. The Contract with America was one of the best
things that happened to WJC. His first 2 years were a spending orgy. Newt
seems to be the only one who is concerned about overspending.

healthcare is cheaper and more affordable than canada's right?


Nothing is free. That is a fleabag fantasy. The question is who and
how it is paid for.


and yet you think american healthcare is free.


Never said it was. But you can change providers if one isn't servicing
your needs. The results are much higher service levels than you see in
Canada. You have more MRIs, you get surgery faster...less likely to die
waiting.

Hell, even our premiers in charge of health care prefer the USA. While
it is nationalized, it is rationed, basic and long waits.


let's see. 1 guy goes here for healthcare


He has money. But the point being he thought Florida would do him better.

meanwhile milions dont have it in the US.


For many it is about priorities.

guess he doesnt know that.


I do. I lived in a rental, neighbors told us their experience. Skipped
HC for decades, going to Greece, Italy, Spain, China...every year some
place new. Then he needed a bypass and they had to sell the house.
They had the money.

Don't get me wrong, I am not against universal health care. I just have
a huge gripe on how it is implemented and run. Ends up being a greedy
government tax grab if your not careful. And rationing sets in even
though they don't talk about it. Even preferences, politicians first,
then workers, the old folks get idle time.

Here is an example:

http://www.calgarysun.com/2011/06/08...stem-zwozdesky

Just don't go for the Obama knee jerk tax grab and engineer the system
including abuses by crooks including governemnt.

oh. it's not. it's about twice as expensive


Yep, an no line ups and the best care. We have no choice, government
took it away from in hyper-taxation.


HAHAHAHA the best care?

proof?


Lots. If health care is so great in Canada, why would a premier got to
Florida? What better proof of that do you need.

well...none. none at all. life expectancy is higher in many countries
like japan with socialized medicine

but he has his fantasies

and line? uh...how long do you wait in the US if you have no
insurance?


No clue, I always was with aid up insurance. But agree here, if
cocaine, heroin and/or booze is more important than your family, why
waste resources on you?

For Canada, health care tuned out to be a government tax grab.


and yet it works


Marginally. But the coverage is crap. Most people purchase additional
coverage anyways. You have to, $2600/year in my case. Just to make up
for what government does not cover. Like travel abroad. Private room
so I don't share with 12 others.

in the US it's an insurance grab. govt medcial care is better AND
cheaper than the free market


Doubt it. Just fleabagger bull****. Remember, I lived there for 10
years and used the system twice for myself. Busted rib and a case of
fly fishing elbow, bursitis (sp?). Know of others, work buddy. US is
consistently faster and in most cases better.

The amount of leftie media propaganda and BS. Might want to call the
Obama the Pied Piper of perals blind geed making people march to the
tax-slaughter house.

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.


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.


I think they are going to try to discourage people from cashing out
their 401ks to try to save the stock market. That usually happens in
the tax code.


I highly doubt that would fly.
As I've said, 401k's have always been sold as taxable as ordinary
income. Changing those rules would **** people off more than Ryan's
Medicare destruction plan.

There is a big problem coming when 83 million boomers do start pulling
that much money out of the market and there is not the excess income
coming along behind them to replace it. It is just another example of
the demographic problem that is going to threaten our whole pension
model. The only one we are really acknowledging is SS but all of the
pay as you go programs are threatened the same way.

I think you overstate the entire boomer deal.
I've seen there were only 76 million boomers ever born.
They span 16-18 years, so don't hit entitlements at once.
Many are already dead and never hit entitlements.
As some come into entitlements, others go to St. Peter.
Boomer life expectancy is about 69 years.
So the idea that they all live into their 80's and 90's is a myth.
As far as pulling money out of Wall Street, some.
But a lot will still be there when they kick off.
Hardly anybody with savings dies broke.
Tax policy is far more likely to hit inheritors and so keep equities
uncashed.


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.

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.



These days the closest thing to a pension people have is the 401k


Stop right there. The closest thing MOST people have to a pension in
the the U.S. is SS. You still don't understand that.
I don't have figures, but a wild guess is less than half of current
workers even have money in a 401k, and far fewer significant money.
100% of them have SS, with some special exceptions.

and
if your employer will match, you should save all he matches.
I would not be shocked to see legislation that requires a certain
level of 401k savings ... for the same reason mentioned above, to
replace some of that boomer money that is coming out of the equities.


I would be shocked at forced 401k contributions.
Wouldn't be shocked by the revolution that follows.
What you're saying is the government would force worker taxation be
paid directly to Wall Strett fat cats.
In your dreams.


But add in government bamboozled and skimmed SS over the years....not a
pretty picture. Government borrows it into general spend at 1%,
inflation conservative at 3%, that is a year over year 2% reduction in
vlaue with the money sitting in SS. And over the years, that adds up
big time as a shortfall to the beneficiary.

Pensions not in your name and personal account are usually a big scam,
government included.

more pipe dreams

tax increases? where?

oh. none.

we NEED more taxes, especially on the rich, but americans will never
let the rich be taxed.

Government is trying to end the depression with bu11sh1t. They generate
4.5% inflation, GDP grows by 2.25% and they say the depression has
ended. Only with fleabagger math, as inflation adjusted the economy
still shrank. And in shrink, it also generated less government revenue.
A real vicious economic cycle caused by government debtors denial and
mindless statism.


4.5% inflation?

where? ppi index went up 0.2% last month


Don't believe the government numbers. Find a government CPI and check
out cars, homes, gold, silver even flour say from 1914. You will find
CPI is bogus. Keeps unions happy to BS them down. Ponzi number, make
you think a 2.5% raise is good if they tell you inflation s 2%.

OK, radios are cheaper.

CPI is just BS.

and the teabaggers think we have to cut taxes on the rich because
their income only went up 500% in the last 30 years.

and federal taxes are at a 40 year low

but the right knows none of this


Tax reciepts are but not net tax load. Because over 20% are unemployed
and company are not making money like they used too. No profit, no/low
wages means less taxes.

You mean like Japan? Lets examine that.

Unions in Japan DEMAND loyalty or management will not run you off, the
unions will. Unions are also responsible in helping management make a
modest, sustainable profit, and to address employee issues. Hell, they
are more like a HR department than a union.

CEOs are expected to resign when they lay off people for issues not
involving the laid off persons performance. And very rare to see a CEO
get paid more than 10 times the lowest wage they pay.

Strikes rare too. As government will step in and tell the unions to get
back to work or quit if demands are not reasonable for the type of work.

You do know socialist worker unions started the Nazi movement right?


uh...no they didnt. you lying sack of **** nazi lover. since when did
