John Taylor says "The U.S. economy is headed for a new recession"

but doesn't that statement assume we already EXITED the current one?

it doesn't end

Click your heels together and chant "there's no place like home there's no place like home there's no place like home"

My 5 stupidest predictions / moves during The Economic Apocalype

1. "A CD at 4% is too low a rate. Let's not lock it in for more than 6 months."

2. "New York City real estate is overvalued. Surely it must drop an additional 15 to 20 percent."

3. "Pull out of Apple. No one's gonna buy expensive niche electronics in the middle of a deep recession."

4. "Gold is topped out at $1050. We're in Recovery mode already."

5. Failure to take advantage of every goddamn stock rally from October 09 til now.

Less is more.

Learn to live with "more".

I'm with stupid... I mean: i am stupid

We must BURRRRNNNN witches !!!!
ooops... sorry

size matters

I found some informative infographics on reuters.com of the gulf oil spill.

And through the magic of free clip art, made this new one:



That is the Empire State Building over there on the side... in the correct scale (height).

Sort of gives you an idea of why it might be so hard to cap. It is WAYYYY in the hell down there.

and by "change" what I meant was "no change"

Squelching uncomfortable fact in favor of political expediency is still business as usual under the Obama Administration.

10,000 fixation

Now that's a rally


schizophrenia much?

Americans NEED cocaine

And they need it so badly, drug runners will build submarines to get it to them.

Trillions for defense, but not one penny for jobs

H.R.5297 - State Small Business Credit Initiative Act of 2010

Yes, we are running horrific deficits that will eventually bite us in the ass.

Yes, just throwing money at a problem is not a solution.

Yes, this Initiative does not force banks to lend money, it is simply an incentive for them to do so.

BUT... the cost of this thing ($30 billion dollars) is about what we pay pursuing foreign wars for a two month period.

At least this legislation is attempting to jump start jobs recovery which is the NUMBER ONE thing America needs right now.

Let's put less money into killing and more into "life-ing". This and tax cuts for business is what we need. NOW. We're trying to avoid Depression 3.0 here people.

You go, Boy

DC follies

When Main Street needed stimulus, they gave the money to Wall Street.

When we needed financial reform (smackdown punishment), they (sloowwwwwwly) brought us Health Care "reform".

We need a Jobs Bill / SBA loan guarantees, but they give us Finance Industry "reform".

Soooooo... when something to stimulate business and jobs finally rolls around, how deep into the new Great Depression quagmire will we be?

Hope, Change = Bad timing, Making it worse.

Collapse-a-mundo!!!!

What would Fonzie say?
