[KR14] Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Scandal!

February 4th, 2010 by stacyherbert

Stacy Summary: Here it is. We have walked sooooooo much today, back and forth across the entire city and just walked back from Kremlin / Red Square where I think we were the only two people there. Boy is it cold and the weather report is for even colder weather tomorrow . . .

    What should be up with that latest new debt ceiling is that the good people of the USA should be up in arms and up in the faces of those people in Washington DC who voted “aye” and in the faces of those people who proposed and approved the spending that could raise the debt. It will go higher after the elections this fall. Count on it. In the meantime, the hope is probably that the too few people who noticed and who care will have been distracted by the time November rolls around.

  • How is a economy truly to develop if it concentrates its energy’s on satisfying its proles – it would merely create better sofas and flat screen televisions
    At least one section of the economy should concentrate on creating pyramids and other such ” non essential” ideas and goods
    In short it should reach for the stars

    Now there’s an angle I hadn’t considered:

    “At issue is how accounting rule changes for securitized assets will affect the FDIC’s long-standing practice of not seizing assets backing securitizations in a failure.

    Under previous regulations, the agency kept its hands off of those assets if they met certain characteristics of an off-balance-sheet sale.”

    I had thought that the capital requirements were the only major issue at hand with bringing those assets back onto the balance sheet. This really is an issue.

    No idea what will happen with Florida. The good news is that they have a lot of agriculture. The bad news not often considered is that the largest home insurer in the state is the state. Their Citizen’s plan stands to go under if another major hurricane hits.

  • @Y’All
    Liquor Stores and Theme Parks!!!

  • @Sherri:
    The money was looked after by SBA and Jeb Bush. There isn’t any hurricane fund anymore.

    Here’s how the newpaper explains the discrepency:

    It’s all been swept under the rug as usual.

  • @snoot
    You are not taking the bait Frances
    shame I would like a good catfight

  • @Dork:
    What?! Liquor stores and theme parks come in handy when one is feeling down after getting looting by Crist .gov/Inc.re-pub-lickings.

  • Last hurricane my garage door, my side door, my screen porch, and part of my roof blew away. Never did find the door.

  • @Snoot

  • sherri or anyone. So raising the debt ceiling does what. I’m guessing inflation in some way. But what use is it for the banksters. I’m guessing more loaning power to their buddies. War people ect.

    The tab on the usa public is already unpayable. And they’re increasing it hugely now. I wonder what is really going on.

  • @ Max
    Rofl hmm dont know ya well enough to know what ya don’t know

    Yuor sense of abstraction and conceptualization seems ta be very high on ta scale

  • Scandal! – I took a pregnancy test tonight and it was positive; a rather faint positive, but still positive. If I don’t lose it, looks like we’ll be having a depression baby. Holy crap!

  • @ME(P)
    I can’t think of a nicer person… CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES!!!

  • @ SG – Thank you. I’m trying not to get too excited (or too horrified), because there’s no telling what will happen. My fiance and I have already decided not to tell anyone we know for at least a month in case I lose it. So MaxKeiser.com folks are the only people I’ll tell!!

  • @ bonn- have some whiskey for me!!

  • mep, will god bless you and your other. Having childrens a great thing. YOu’ll love it. Alot of work though. But I guess you know that. Try and get a picture or video of your mother and mother in law when they find out. Those two will go nuts when you reveal it.

    RonRon wake up !!!!!!! Whysky time
    Hic ;-)

  • @Norcalkid,

    Love your pledge, I’ll use it. I like your simple back to the land approach. Though this may not be a plan for you, I thought I’d just mention that I just invested in a Nor. Cal organic farm, which delivers produce to me in SF. They can pay 4% on your investment, or better, will pay 7% return in produce. This way both we and the farm cuts out the banker middleman. With a sufficiently large investment one can actually receive free produce for the whole year.

  • @ jon – That’s a great idea. Those 2 have been harassing us for years to have a baby. My in-laws even gave us a freaking crib a couple of months ago (they were cleaning out their basement).

  • Kill the economy and then kill tha people. That’s the plan. Jean-Claude Trichet blames the USA for Europe’s. European bankster asshole. What did you expect anyways when European banls, f–kin UK banksters included, were using a financial leverage of 60 to 1 or even 80 to 1. Know what’s the problem with Europe ? United Kingdom.

    The blame game is starting. I have a good solution; the guillotine.

  • @Mep

    Congratulations ..
    I guess that means less posts some time in the future BooWooo ;-)

  • There is just a small problem with land. It’s called taxes. What do you think the state does when it is bankrupt ? It taxes land owners till death ensues. In theory land is cool. In practice it’s plagued by the same caveat. You are still vulnerable with the bloodsucking politicians.The best is to get rid of the hitmen.

  • @ MA
    Land is a whole lotta different in India
    Hic ;-)

  • Ter was tis one Joker politician (Local)
    in me home state who sent 3 bags ta his farmer cousin who stayed in a hut. Well tis dude had a Kid ran outta space ; took tose 3 bags and dump’d em in a Shed n carried on life

  • Just doin’ a little math for y’all:

    $ 1.56 trillion [proposed US budget deficit]/365.25 days per year means the United States will need to find someone to loan it $4.271 billion ($4,271,000,000) EVERY DAY of the coming year.

  • chris, the debt is so out of hand its far beyond repair. The governement even mentioning that it can be paid down is a disreputable “Lie”. It can’t be paid down.

    So what is in store. What do they really have planned. There is something else afoot here.

  • @Mep

    Congrats on the news. Think positive and no more of ‘if I keep it’ stuff.

    BTW. You post so much on here when did you find the time? Are you sure you’re the mother? :)

  • @Mep

    last post had a double meaning I did not intend . . . gotta work on my humor

  • I was just tinkin a scary thought
    They will go ahead with False Flag more urgently now before more peeps wake up
    Logically speaking
    :-(

  • bonn , we have to pray that some good people don’t let that happen. Its my big worry as well. A false flag would give the powers that be the power to really mess with the constitution. Not a good thing at all.

  • @Mep,..Congratulations to your fiancé,. he did all the work! : )
    (Okay,.to you as well,..bah, I hate being nice) grrrrrr
