Global Economy Bursting?

We need revenues, not expenditures for stuff that makes things worse. I say legalize and tax it. Maybe lace the stuff with a strong contraceptive while we're at it.
 
Quantitative easing causes inflation in outside the US

Bernanke is now getting a lot of complaints from other countries who say that the cheap low interest money here in the states is finding its way into oversease stock markets .....

..... foreign countries say that the cheap US dollar is flooding their markets and causing domestic inflation of their soil .......

.... these smaller economies are feeling the inflation effects of our monetary policy here .....

... the smaller economies are affected much faster ..... 20 billion flooding a small stock market is too disproportional ....

.... looks like we are fixing the trade situation by flooding the world with dollars .........

... its making them angry .......

...that inflation is headed for our shores .......

... but maybe it will gives u s more parity with the rest of the world ..

...maybe their is a world-fix currency solution .....

... or maybe not ...... me thinks not ......

.... but, me thinks .... maybe this could never be compared with the Weimar Republic 100 years ago ......

.... apples and oranges ...

...maybe the world is going to catch a break ....
 
So the rest of the world does not like the monetary policy of the U.S. What are they going to do about it?

The world is looking for markets to sell into so that their domestic employment levels do not decline.

Going to war solves the employment problem, temporarily. In the end, either jobs are produce from domestic consumption and investment or from international trade and investment.

WWII solved our unemployment problem and fighting the war in Europe and Asia destroyed their infrastructure and ability to manufacture. We sold the world trade goods and technology to rebuild. We shifted from exports to imports, giving the world a place to sell their goods. We shifted from export to import and to consumption to help the rest of the world.

If another war is fought, will it be in our country? So far we have bombed the rest of the world and we are going broke. Maybe we should let the foreigners invade and bomb us so they can go broke.

CHINA TO OVERTAKE US ECONOMY 'WITHIN 2 YEARS'

Not in dollar terms but in purchasing power.

As the US ECONOMY shrinks in terms of its purchasing power, we can't buy the same volume or increasing volume of goods and services unless we grow our GDP, inflation adjusted.

China will be fighting the rest of the world for its share of the US import market. It can do that by lending us the the money to buy chinese goods.

Strange how the investors respond and react to Europe's inability to service its debt in Euros. That is because individual countries can't print Euros therefore the solutions are default or bail out by the EU.

If the US was put into the position of not being able to borrow in dollars but some other currency, we would see rising interest rates and we would consider defaulting.
 
When those addicted to entitlements begin receiving less, look for both organized and spontaneous violence to begin breaking out. It's already happening in the UK. Just wait until lowlife organizations like ACORN get into the act, it will get very ugly. It happened on a smaller scale recently in California.

Here is a "peaceful" protest in the UK over tuition. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...on-fee-protesters-smash-Millbank-Tory-HQ.html

I can't even imagine what will happen in the US if it is announced that AFDC and similar type programs will be cut. Like it or not, anarchy on some scale is ahead, the question is how widespread it will be.
