Of course it's making us poorer, however, the establishment doesn't want to talk about that.
During the Presidential debates in 2011, all you're going to hear is the same old garbage: "We have to get our deficits under control...I propose we introduce this new spending program."
Guys like Ron Paul and Ross Perot actually addressed the deficit and budget crisis in a proper way.
I think Paul Craig Roberts said on the Alex Jones Show recently that we need another ACTUAL revolution
Federal Deficit is Making Us Poorer
The Washington Times published my commentary entitled, "Europeanization is no vacation: The federal budget deficit is making us poorer." Key point: expect higher tax rates, and thus lower economic growth, due to the budget deficit.
I wish she would've alerted investors about the coming crash a few years ago and the continuation of the financial crisis.
Every time she interviews Peter Schiff, like this video, she's quite condescending.
What Can You Know, and When Can You Know It?
Access to information is crucial for investors and traders. Even a small advantage in timing can make a big difference. An enduring theme is access for the "little guy" versus big-time traders. An interesting chapter in that story is playing out with little attention from the financial media. ...
Well, the government is properly in collusion with JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to keep the gold and silver prices down. They're also partners with GS with the latest "financial reform."
Conspiracy Refuted
Many naive readers of Internet blogs subscribe to a theory that there is some government conspiracy to prop up the financial markets. Many of the popular financial blogs propagate the idea that a secret group -- the Plunge Protection Team -- steps in whenever financial markets are threatened. W...
Holy crap you had dinner with Friedrich Hayek? You are one lucky man! It must've been an informative and enlightening conversation!
If I had a dinner with him, I'd ask him about everything from the World Cup to Barack Obama's Presidency to Murray N. Rothbard to Anti-Trust laws to his favorite food!
Austrian Economics Follow Up
Two days ago I wrote "Austrian Economics: What Business Executives Should Know." Today the Wall Street Journal's blog Real Time Economics has an article about Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. So I guess it is an important topic. If you read the article, be sure to add Don Boudreaux's co...
A good way to predict the government's response is to read Murray N. Rothbard's "Economic Depressions: Their Cause and Cure." When I read this a few years ago, I was completely shocked because everything he stated in the book was what was going in government and markets.
Austrian Theory has it all written down before it even happens.
Also, when governments release figures like this, always assume it's deflated, or inflated, and expect the worst. Don't trust government!
Predicting Government Actions -- How You Can Profit
As one of the very few political science/public policy experts analyzing investments, I try to take note of situations reflecting concepts from these fields. As regular readers know, it is not a matter of being smarter than everyone else. Far from it. I search constantly for information, even...
If the President actually thinks the U.S. is going to export anything except war, IOUs and fast food then he has another thing coming!
I can't stand when they release the numbers showing a 3% growth but not realizing that a consumer economy is not a real economy. We need a manufacturing economy (http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/can-the-us-survive-without-manufacturing), what's wrong with bricks and mortar?
Fed Watch: We Can't All Be (Net) Exporters
Tim Duy: We Can't All Be (Net) Exporters, by Tim Duy: The Greek crisis, which helped further extend the Dollar's uptrend in place since the beginning of the year, is a reminder that global imbalances are still with us - and, if not corrected, will eventually threaten the sustainability of the g...
I'm one of those people losing sleep over deficits and debt. Virtually every nation in the world is bankrupt because they all have large sums of debt.
I live in Canada and we have more than $500 billion in debt and $56 billion deficit, very small compared to the United States of course.
The problem in the U.S. is the fact that they have so much of it: $13 trillion debt, $1.6 trillion deficit and $107 trillion in unfunded liabilities and expenditures.
My question is, where will the money come from? They can't tax people anymore, they're taxed to the death. They can't borrow the money anymore because countries like China are fed up with the Fed and the Treasury. The only solution for the Keynesian government: Print, print and print more.
Would I get an A for that answer Mr. Conerly?
Of course, you can't forget the Federal Reserve's idiotic policies!
Federal Budget Deficit: How Big a Problem?
Many of my friends are losing sleep over our federal budget deficit and accumulating debt burden. The level of discourse is usually simple: "We're going bankrupt!" In a short series of posts I want to look at the possible problems caused by our large debt burden, covering inflation, debt cris...
