Krugman: Deficit Hawks Trying To Scare People With Big, Out-Of-Context Numbers

Commented Nov 30, 2009 at 13:09:10 in Business

“"The Nation's DC editor Chris Hayes put it succinctly, using an old saying, in a recent column: "'When you owe $100,000, the bank owns you. When you owe $100 million, you own the bank' -- and it aptly describes the US relationship with China, which holds approximately 70 percent of its 2.3 trillion foreign reserves in dollars." "
A key to all doors.

And as we roll along it will be China, N. and S. America, Israel and Britain against Russia, Africa, Middle East...European Union? unknown

That's what's ahead........scary.........did we have any choice?

Barney Frank: No More Secret Agreements Between Regulators and Banks

“Know the feeling LTU! cynic here I come. Barney's alright and needs to at least try to shake things up... but after the 2000 election I see more and more

NO matter what you do, the evil ones will find a way around it...

...the public doesn't need to know about it! ... It would be detrimental to the banks...
considering how long it takes to get anything passed and then whatever date they put on it... The banks could clean up their act with the help of the regulators if need be.....

I remember the big boss at a bank I used to work at... I put in a double check so people could know at an instant that something was wrong. She yelled at me to take it out and moved me on and then made life miserable for me so I transfered to another bank job and then into nursing.

Crooks like spooks surround us... when is honesty going to come back into vogue!”

Geithner: Unemployment Will "Absolutely" Be Lower This Time Next Year

Commented Sep 11, 2009 at 01:00:28 in Business

“You beat it will be; as no one will have a job 0/0 equals lower; the way they do the statistics, they never show the ones that have never gotten another job and so they are out of the numbers this has been going on for decades.”

FreelanceWriter replied on Sep 11, 2009 at 01:21:35

“I agree the way the Labor Department assembles its statistics -- and to be fair, this is true whether a Democrat or Republican in office -- is a COMPLETE FARCE.

A friend lost his job in February. He filed for unemployment... they lost his application... he refiled... they never sent him any forms to get benefits... then because California is so in the tank, he couldn't even get through to EDD (California unemployment) for weeks at a time, at which point they'd lose his files again. Finally after SIX MONTHS he got ONE check for 200 bucks and THEN got a letter saying he'd been CUT OFF from thousands of dollars of benefits because he didn't file his paperwork on time -- the same paperwork they never sent. So now he has to go to an Appeals court to try and win his money.

The point of this story is that all along he's TECHNICALLY not considered unemployed to CA or to the Labor Department because he hasn't gotten any money. And since he literally CAN'T file (since they won't send him the paperwork) he doesn't show up in any counts -- hence he's invisible. So no wonder the numbers seem to be dropping.

As I said, this isn't about Obama...Bush and his people played the same game...but it IS a shell game. The truth is things are much worse than Washington ever wants to let on and BOTH sides have been manipulating the numbers for years.”
