Waking Up to Economic Realities

April 26, 2011


Last week the financial markets were roiled by Standard & Poor’s announcement that they will change their outlook on the fiscal health of the United States over the next two years from “stable” to “negative”. The administration decried this decision as political. However, it seems the only political thing about this decision is the fact that it took so long. The Washington Post recently reported that the White House and the Treasury Department put tremendous pressure on S&P not to do this. However, if S&P made its ratings based on political pressures rather than economic reality, it would cease to have any relevance to the business community. Even if S&P delayed its announcement that U.S. government bond market would be downgraded, at some point it would become obvious that the finances of this country are out of control and our leadership is out of touch. All credibility would be lost if S&P simply continued to assign U.S. debt a AAA rating.

S&P noted in its announcement that negotiations among leaders in Washington to address deficit concerns did not sound promising, and expressed skepticism that politicians could agree to any viable budget compromise. Of course this has been obvious for years but in the midst of the current debate over raising the debt limit it is perhaps the wake-up call that Washington needs. For decades politicians and government officials have been able to maintain their denial about our real financial situation, patching the system together by passing emergency and supplemental funding bills, issuing more debt, and allowing the Federal Reserve and foreign creditors to paper over deficits with more monetary expansion. I’ve said many times the real day of reckoning comes when fiscal and monetary tricks no longer work and there are no buyers for our debt.

Even the most conservative budget that has been proposed by Republican leadership requires raising the debt ceiling by an additional $9 trillion by 2021. This demonstrates absolutely that no one in power right now has any real intention of addressing our spending problems or paying down the debt. They simply expect to continue to borrow and run up more debt forever, without limit. Yet they always imagine our dollar will have value no matter how many we print. This expectation is foolish and naïve. I guarantee that those buying our debt are not foolish and naïve enough to go along with this charade forever.

The S&P announcement may just be the harbinger of economic realities acting as a restraint on government expansion. Government is not anxious to cap its own growth, in spite of misnomers like “debt limit” or “deficit reduction”. Government will continue to grow like a cancer, sapping our country of its wealth and freedom until the laws of economics no longer can be ignored.

Dr. Paul’s article first appeared on his House website.

Largest Banks Likely Profited By Borrowing From Federal Reserve, Lending To Federal Government

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/2 ... 53884.html

That ones a no brainer. Banks are some of the least losers of the economic crisis, probably even made some tidy gains. But people continually put their faith in them, due to their excessive wants. Do you really need that house/car/etc? Can you actually afford it? No so don't borrow stupid money for it and complain when the economy fails

The sites fixit goes to are hilarious, they claim figures with no backing. One said 10s of billions of dollars for the royal wedding hahahaha. What, zimbabwe dollars? It's generating income too. Note, I'm not some soppy "I love the royals" I'm just giving an honest viewpoint.

And it continues to refer to july 4th 17-whatever. Why do you refer to that? The royals didn't ask for the USA to faun over their wedding, some of you just have.

[compguygene]

As to the royal wedding, I personally don't really care about it. However, as an American with a few friends in this game that live in the UK, I respect the institution and the necessity of it. You won't see me posting anything negative about the Royals or the Royal Wedding.

Sylla, I picked that article about the banks deliberately, just to see the type of reaction, if any, it would draw. Yours was the most appropriate reaction!

[Phytotron]

You won't see me posting anything negative about the Royals or the Royal Wedding.

I'll be happy to! But, I'll do it by way of quoting Seinfeld:

Well it's a circus act, it's an absurd act. You know, it's a dress-up. It's a classic English thing of let's play dress-up. Let's pretend that these are special people. OK, we'll all pretend that—that's what theater is. And that's what the royal family is—it's a huge game of pretend. These aren't special people—its fake outfits, fake phony hats and gowns.

Why the Brits still put up with the existence of the putrid, effete (and putridly effete) monarchy—in any form—is beyond me. Same goes for any American fascination with, or romanticisation of, them. 'Course, both cultures are disgustingly celebrity-obsessed in general.

[compguygene]

Funny and funny because it is true. I just don't think it is worth starting a row about. It would be like trying to point out to an American the lack of value in celebrity worship, not really worth fighting about.

Another benefit (from his position) of his link bombing is that by putting a dozen links per post, it discourages anyone from taking the time to refute them one by one. Of course, that's the benefit to conspiracy theory in general, is that it's so dense and convoluted, it's not worth the time and effort to most people to attempt to parse, tease it apart, and debunk the complicated web of multifarious, esoteric, and otherwise nonsensical claims. Throw 50 things at them at once, then demand they refute all of it at once, right there, on the spot, and in brief. It must all be debunked in totality, in summation (which, of course, is an impossible demand). Then, if and when one can't (won't), it's an automatic victory for the conspiracy theorist.

And even in the instances where someone does offer refutation (and, mind you, all this crap has already been thoroughly refuted and debunked), conspiracy theorists are already primed to dismiss that person and their information as blind, duped by the conspirators, and perhaps even in on it themselves.

It's just another religion. You begin with a premise and conclusion already defined—even if it's just some vague gut feeling—then go in search of the "proof" to fill in the blanks in between. It's no coincidence that both fixit and Gene have woven expressions of strong religiosity (or "spirituality," or whatever you want to call it) into their comments regarding these conspiracy theories. It's not a matter of facts and evidence, empiricism and rationality; it's a matter of belief to be proven or disproved.

What one will also notice is that conspiracy theorists never seem to be into just one conspiracy theory. If they believe one, they tend to believe many.

This is nothing but pointless, vain, proselytizing spam.
