Re: Obamanomics

We cannot have growth with that much debt and you CANNOT solve a debt problem with more debt. Until then we are not going to have ANY substantial job growth.
Nonsense. Let's see what happens with Greece. Maybe in the end, financial markets are completely man-made and there needs to be a world-wide "correction" in which ALL the top dogs have to take a 70% write down.

Re: Obamanomics

What is nonsense about? We have 101% debt per GDP. Greece is getting bailed out and hold as hostage instead of just a plain default and start it over. The protest there is getting out of hand people suffer because banks don't want to take the hit. And the real story that it is not Greece who is getting bailed out it's the BANKSTERS. Why would be violent protest if it's just a regular bail out for the country and for the people.

Because it's all relative. Remember when the credit reporting agencies down-graded the American debt? What happened? Nothing, really. And why not? Because The U.S. is still head and shoulders above nearly every other economy, even China when all is taken into consideration. Maybe somewhere in a backroom where billions are gained and lost in a moment, but overall, very little.

Re: Obamanomics

The top dogs run the show, not the regular investors, not even the billionaires. We have shadow government and the banking industry has shadow banking sector (dark pools) :)

My point exactly. And eventually, it comes to their front door. Kind of like real estate. Do they want to own the property, or do they want to sell it at 60% of it's original value? Owning it does no good as long as wages are depressed and economies are in a funk. Me and you? It all has very little to do with us.

Re: Obamanomics

And now everything is a little riskier. But that's part of business, isn't it? Risk and reward?

Re: Obamanomics

I do look into it, because it can be the biggest opportunity of a lifetime.
What you looking at is a possible complete meltdown of the financial system. They won't let Greece to default because it can trigger bank failures in France, Italy then the bank runs will spread like a wildfire. On top of that the derivative market which is estimated at 1 quadrillion dollars now, the world GDP is around 65 Trillion to have an idea how big it is.
All these assets are rehypothecated, in very short term: selling the one stuff to different people in paper form of "I own you this". So just like the fractional banking works here if only 10 % of the people will come to get their stuff/money cashed out the whole system is down. I don't see any boom cycle (beside PMs) in the wall for now, only bust. :D Sooner or later we got to have sound money, instead of printing it to infinity. To me the positive on this is that we can have a new financial system that doesn't work on a ponzi scheme, like the global fiat money system had in the past and that we the people won't hand it to private central banksters the ability to create money and have deficit spending without any consequences pushing it to the future. And who knows we might have a real market without the biggest private bank setting interest rates and pumping free money to the system wherever they feel to.

After WW2, when our debt ratio was higher, our economy grew exponentially. In theory the only reason debt holds back an economy is because it stifles borrowing. However, interest rates are at record lows for companies to borrow so the debt has nothing to do with access to cheap money. A matter of fact corporate america is still sitting on 2 trillion in CASH that they refuse to spend to help the economy grow.. So dont blame the debt for slow growth.
