  1. I am one of those in the Long Beach School District. If I don't find a job in 4 months, paying my high salary, I'm yet another foreclosure, and I won't be able to make the minimum payment on my $6500 credit card debt.

    Oh, well.

  2. Doesn't matter what happens to the underclass. Seriously, it's the Elite class that will keep everything going. The underclass can just die in the streets and no-one will care.

  3. Pre crisis America was living on foreign credit.
    Under the Dollar Hegemony the US was able to exchange its paper for real world commodities on the promose of real value interest and diviends payments on dollars reinvested in American bonds .
    There are now less and less jobs for Americans because the international credit supply was restricted and the Dollar Hegemony in world trade and international finance is in danger of collapsing. Balance of trade figures over many years show that pre-crisis the borrowed and loaned money flowing into america from overseas was equal to the claimed after tax corporate dividends.
    The Chinese and others were providing vendor Finance that kept the game going on credit.
    The bottom line is this. This means there were no real Profits being created in America!
    America without its industry had turned into a Giant Ponzi .Casino Capitalism.
    Marxists ,Keynesians ,and monetarist economists as well as capitalists can agree :
    There is no point in providing jobs for Americans if a profit cannot be got in production or distribution and exchange of value from their work.
    Despite the “left” and Tea party Taliban propaganda that American workers were being “exploited” and delivering up all the profits to capital and it was just “mismanagement” and corruption that stuffed up a perfect economy.
    In fact the banksters were very good at making profits in this Casino Capitalism till the game ran out of puff as credit supply dried up . An absolutely marvellous job of cooking up profits from scams on top of scams ,that delivered up 40% of US profits ,simply from moving money.
    They are American heroes of capitalism.
    Look at their “Perfect Records” in making big money even in today’s markets . These winners and grinners deserve even bigger bonuses . Such skill an American know-how !

    .http://thecomingdepression.blogspot.com/2010/05/4-major-banks-manipulate-market-for.html

    Why, with Marvellous US technology programming their computers are able to Flash / Crash and rebuild the Stock markets and extract some profit within the a space of a single hour !
    ( just do not ask , un-American style, who the losers might be as they do Gods work )
    The old economy “profits” or jobs cannot like American dollars be printed out of fresh air . All that holds the American economy together now is confidence in printed paper ,government spending and bailouts for socialising past losses in the casino.

  4. While I hate to see anyone lose a job, it is unfortunate that so many people are so deeply in debt. As a child of the depression, we learned that you do not do things on credit, and since the 1980's we, as a people, have been able to invest wisely in gold and silver and reduce if not eliminate exposure to the fiat dollar. The same people who are deeply in debt generally vote Democratic...they did not listen to the lessons of the 1930's and were more interested in the distractions of the 1960's. And they believed that the laws of economics simply did not apply to them For these people - well, game over!

  6. Anyone care to explain Kohl's higher Net Income for 1st Qtr. and contrast that with a potential collapse?

    Kohl's says revenue rose 11 percent to $4.04 billion, while revenue in stores open at least one year rose 7.4 percent in the quarter.

  7. But but but but we're in a RECOVERY. Rebounding. Everything is tits. The TV news says it daily. Why oh why isn't this reflected in tax revenue?

    Or is it that vanishing tax revenues are harder to hide than fabricated statistics?

  8. More job loses =

    - Little or no income
    - Eviction / foreclosure
    - Eventual homlessness
    - Uncontrolled anger as in the movie "Falling Down"
    - Less consumer spending
    - Loss of healthcare
    - Family disintegration

    Don't worry, trust Barry. How's that Hope and Change working out?

    On another note, I understand that only Congress can kick Barry out and they have no plans to do so... any other ideas?

    I'm so proud of you- you mentioned the words 'genital' 'penis' and 'vagina' only once in your comment!

    Nice try at being less bizarre....

  16. STFU silly newb. Such words are neccessary to intellectually knee kick you in the face, for you are a bizzare psychopath, that's into reproducing in un opitmal conditions. Just like you have need to reproduce in shitty conditions for shallow motives of experiencing pleasure on your rod/flaps, so will someone else summon you into a hellhole for their petty whims. Everything is mathematical and you will be summoned amonst similar minded newbs like yourself. In reality I'm doing you a favor to get you to change your psychopath mentality but you are too stupid to grasp basic concepts.


    Worry not though, all of your problems will be solved when you make more and more kids. There is no upper limit. Only when a population of 28 billion billion billion billion people has been reached will all the issues be thoroughly solved.

  17. Man I would totally love a small bio on the "Penis/vagina" guy...If we profile is he a white, 40-something, college educated kook who lives in the east coast?

    Was his major in hard sciences but he had a hard time making social connections and has been in and out of treatment with hard medication all his life?

    Is he single with no kids and his family doesn't speak to him often...As he sits somewhere dreaming of a collapse of society so he can point to it and say "See I told you so!"

    Although I am totally for eugenics this guy just ruins the movement by just being a douchebag...Still be nice to see who he is and put him up on here bet you he disapears and moves on to another site that isn't so kind.

  18. I call BS in this Sandy huffacker, she in fact bought a boat that very same day I was there, she must have been taking a pic for a scrapebook or something and was amazed at the sheer volume of folks since times are so tight. Maybe they just wanted a free ride? who know but I was there and two dealers were present giving boat rides to anyone who wanted one. They had a 24 foot Baja, 24 foot Crownline low profile and there were a couple of Sea Ray's in the water as well. Yes I saw food but they had two tables of snacks for anyone who wanted something to munch on while waiting for a ride. This happened just off of Hwy Saint Bernard on the lake, so you can all suck it

  20. EA -

    Any chance you could check on this ?

    A local uy in the furniture business told me today that Thomasville Furniture in Thomasville, N.C. called him up and said last shipments out of that plant would be in October they are closing & 650 people are gone.

    I tried to call them; but they won't talk to just an "ordinary" citizen & I cannot find anything on the web.

    I figure you probably have connections that substansiate this?

    thanks
