Everyone is missing the point———- In 1990 the world discarded Socialism/Communism and acknowledged Capitalism as the only succesful method of commerce. Immediately we had 3.5 billion people enter the Supply side of the Labor market in the world. While it took 10 -12 years for the infrastructure to be built (i.e. Power Plants, Railways, Water/Sewer, Roads, Warehouses, Docks, etc.) the labor in; China, eastern Europe, India, Brazil, Indonesia is now fully capable of producing anything we previously manufactured in the U.S. —– AT A PRICE OF $1.50 TO $5.00/DAY.
Our Labor averages $100/DAY. Quite simply we need to devalue the dollar somewhere between 50 and 80% or the job market will be reduced to “taking in each other’s laundry”.
All of the other smoke and mirror issues are circling around this basic fact of the change in the world economic condition. The standard of living in the U.S. must come down and the standard of living in the rest of the world must come up- - - - - - water always reaches and equilibrium.

One plan

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on “How Would You Fix the
Economy?”

I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,
Please find below w my suggestion for fixing America’s economy. Instead Of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money On lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can Call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following Stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR.
Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their Constituents pay their taxes…

Obviousluy this is meant to be funny…

As for the ‘former American’ economy, my thirty plus years of business experience, for what it is worth, tells me we have reached point-of-no-return with such insurmountable levels of debt. China (Asia) is growing an economy that will no longer need us….our return on their investment in the U.S. is like buying an oil well on fire and hoping ot put it out before all of the oil is depleted. I am fromer military, served honorably in the Middle East and a realist!
I do think there will be a short-lived rebound, but a falling dollar and inflation will be close
on the tail of that short-lived rebound with another recession.

Hi Larry,

I am an avid follower of your uncommon wisdom twice weekly missives and a real wealth suscriber

I just suggest that people whom can, sell up and leave the country, and come to Australia or New Zealnd, as what is coming around the corner for your once great country is going to be ugly financially, why ? well as I type this post Gold is telling me so. Speaking of Gold if they can afford it, people should protect what they have by purchasing physical Silver and Gold to hedged themselves against what they have.

However writing this post from afar in Sydney Australia, it is not just the U.S whom is printing money Australia is printing more 15% a year I believe, and has its own version of stimulus packages, and little Gold reserves. But as we are a resource country
(which may save us , as every one wants our dirt), as compared to a service based U.S economy whom only product it appears is the printing press.

Regards,

Eddy-

Sydney Australia

NOTE SIMPLE RULES OF LENDING AND BORROWING :

When you owe the world a billion dollars ,its your problem .

when you owe the world a trillion dollars ,its the worlds problem .

America has no problems i think . Except only internal problems which it is incapable of solving and that is having Political class which is capableof acting within the constitution and accountable to the people .

Within next three years i think USA is going to split into four parts like the USSR .

STates like ,The north and South DAKOTAS and other states which have absolutely no crisis on their hands are going their separate ways with their own currency .

Of course, Washington could:
- Let the banks fail;
- Let business fail;
- Let millions of jobs go down the tubes
- Let us all live in tent cities
Then those who are really smart with their money will have thier pick among the serfs as they buy up businesses for pennies on the dollar. Real good thinking. Of course with nobody left to make the tents, all the serfs would be back in mud huts raising chickens and pigs to stay alive. Real good thinking.

It’s the “The Great Banker Ponzi Scheme” going way back to The Rothchilds. This is no recovery, it’s a cover up. The GREATEST DEPRESSION is just beginning.

I think the Austrians were correct. The study of Economics is rightly placed in the area of “Moral Philosophy.” Thus, our national economic failure is a manifestation of our corporate moral shortfall. Micro solution: fortify oneself and one’s family morally and spiritually and also fiscally…get into real things, e.g., gold and dirt.

I am frightened like I have never been frightened before. I had a good, sound company , working with 15 major airlines. Four years ago, they started be late in paying their bills ( only 4 airlines ), I had a payroll of about $60-70,000 a week. The slowness of these airlines forced me to mortgage evrything I owned to pay my employees. It reached a point where we had to shut the doors, we were being sucked under. I had lost everything. So I retired, and went on social security $677.00 a month. All my stocks were gone, my credit cards, my art work, my whole existence. I have just been told that the Social Security overpaid me in 1987 and now they are going to reduce my living to $489.00 a month. So even though I have heart disease, I have to find work. When you have the fools like our present administration and Geo. Bushs, do what they are to the US dollar there is’nt much hope left. Maybe God will help our poor Republic and our dollar system.
Thanks and God Bless you for telling it like it is.

I’m totally amazed that most people don’t understand that this crisis is engineered, to reduce the U.S. to a third world country, so that we will accept a one world government.

The problem with all of this is that no-one is referring to the problem from a true perspective. The Federal Reserve was set up to protect itself and its corporate private members. The United States is different from the United States of America and one is a corporation designed to protect its own shareholders. The debt solution is not actually a solution and nothing to do with debt. It is designed only to move wealth in one direction - towards the corporations and their private shareholders. This is not conspiracy theory it is evidential fact.

The whole system that the Federal Reserve is designed around could be described as an over-unity system, a system that is specifically designed not to work because there will always be more money owing TO the system than is IN the system already. It cannot work and since its inception has not worked for any sustainable period of time. Like a car in a fishtail skid swerving from left to right, no amount of over correction will get it back going straight for any length of time as the forces that are pushing on it continue pushing it out of control.

Money is an extremely simple concept, over-engineered and complicated by the “money masters” who have taken control of it and made it the most complex system in the world, when it was only meant to be a unified form of exchange.

Market makers and stock brokers are only it the game for the money they make from trading, either way, up or down, and most stock brokers don’t actually want clients after a certain point, especially not retail clients, which is why sites like ETrade and other self trading platforms have become so popular.

If you look closely at what is coming over the hill of the market, like Custer you are going to be asking yourself, “where did all those bloody Indians come from”!, except it will be about the derivatives. They are all coming due on September 30th and it will be the beginning of the last chapter of a book that was created several years ago.

The people in the know already know this and are already well out of the end run. Approach this from the truth of the situation and you may end up with your shirt. Good luck everybody.

... davvero, tanti auguri a wall street ...
... possano i governi del mondo ...
... sapere di quel che gli stati uniti stanno facendo ...
