@snoot – that’s fantastic! and probably rather brave of Crist as no doubt this will be his political death, at least in terms of the Republican party . . . or am I wrong on that?
@Stacy:
It makes no sense. Maybe Crist is human?! But he is now the official hero of Florida public education!!!

@snoot – yes, we should dare to hope; that would be one party down, one to go . . .
“As the pre-decision drama mounted, thousands of calls and letters swamped Crist, including a voice mail left Monday by none other than Jeb Bush.
“He encouraged me to sign the bill,” Crist said. “Shocking. God bless him.”"

Who also thinks there are 1,6 trillion dollars around and it is backed by gold 1 to 5?
Does anybody take the US GDP seriously? Why is this Jim Rickards comparing the Chinese with the US GSP?
@Mother – good point; but I think comparing US and China GDP could be an apples to apples comparison in terms of degree of distortion . . . they must surely each be lying as much as the other?
guest suggestion:
Nomi Prins – again
she is SHARP
test.
weird.
Jim Rickards makes no sense.
Why does the US have less gold now? Because after WOII Europe got the gold from the US to allow them to buy stuff from the US. Then the gold should have ended up back into the US. He makes no sense.
the measure of a country’s economic health should be the TRUE unemployment rate, not ‘GDP growth’.
this assumes that income taxes are collected across the board, and that the country maintains fiscal responsibility.
@Stacy
I never heard china’s GDP was distorted progressively to mean less and less in terms of real economical value (for real people)..If the US puts foreign production in its GDP that would skew the numbers even more..
I find this Rickards hard to listen to, he’s not adding much and I think he faisl to make sense on occasion..Or it is to much sunshine and varnish vapours damaging my myelin shafts..
For some reason this is getting pushed onto the consiousness,in varying forms by the peps the CTers listen to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPwMdZOlPo8
Somewhat related our news is that Rotterdam exports grew 14% in 2010 (because of consolidation of shipping lines due to contraction) the bullies in the harbour now want to stop paying the city 43 Million divident (with the recognizable argument that 43 million could, after being leveraged 20 times, mean 2 billion of investments, I smell a banker!). But most ironically perhaps: Our pundits simply say “You see, there is recovery in Europe and in the US and in Japan!” while of course it’s not recovery, it is fluff and rearrangements..
You start with two man nearly drowning, and then one climbs on top of the other drowning him to use him as a raft to then say “See! I’m staying afloat!”

Reading Tax rates at their lowest point in 60 years is a problem.
@stacyherbert @Mother
The American GDP is totally bogus made up (Leveraged Money Shuffling) while the Chinese GDP still holds some true value in it (Producing) .
That’s what Rickards said last time.
There is a poll out that shows this.
Obama 42%
Ron Paul 41%
Ron Paul nearly won the GOP strawpoll he lost by one vote. Romney was able to buy it. We know that the banksters would own him too. I’m an independent.
@ frances – Most excellent news. I hope Obama and his “merit-based pay” education advisers pay attention. Despite the fact that the right has relentlessly demonized public education and teachers’ unions, the people still believe in the value of public education and don’t think that teachers ought to be treated or compensated like furniture salesmen.

Bradley Birkenfeld, the former UBS AG banker serving a 40-month prison term, today asked President Obama to reduce his sentence, saying he was a “courageous ” whistleblower who exposed the bank’s tax-evasion schemes.
Birkenfeld, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to conspiracy, helped the Justice Department unravel how UBS helped U.S. clients hide billions of dollars from U.S. tax authorities. UBS avoided prosecution by agreement last year to pay $780 million, disclosing data on clients and admitting it aided tax evasion. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601108&sid=a979qDzPrhxw

The problem with Real Estate is that the price is mostly for the LAND… it has little to do with the crack-shacks built upon it…
I was told that the provincial government assessors determine the land value…
and why do they jack it so high?
1) There are plenty of stupid or adequately wealthy people buying them (even if it’s just brokers and foreign money-hiders)…
2) TAXES!!!!!!!!!! Jack the price with your captured assessors, and voila, instant tax revenues…
it’s a fucking joke…

I really rate Jim Rickards’ opinion on such matters as he seems to do a hell of a lot of research, almost as much as Stacy Herbert
I just spoke to a friend in Melbourne, Australia and he is trying to get a housing loan. It seems that the banks are tightening lending here as of two weeks ago.
All little warning signs of when the fan is going to be splattered with that brown stuff they call doo doo.
Essentially the IMF doesn’t really exist.
It is a made up entity of more of those strange grey men that are usually born in Belgium or Luxemberg.
It is another fictitious entity just made up and not overseen by anyone, just like the Fed. Just a mirage for people to believe in. Some would say, a little like God.
That is why ‘Lord Bankingfein’ says he is doing Gods work.
Sorry to get unholy on you folk, just a metaphor for what the sheeple will believe in if they allow themselves to.
We all want a saviour to ride in over the prarie and save us from ourselves.

I’m confused. Why is shit considered a bad word, but doo doo is not? How come we can say consensual sex but not fucking. Didn’t Paul C. Roberts retire? If the IMF guys are greylings, why aren’t they short? Why are certain journalists free to continue to make rampant and ridiculous errors in their presentations and yet forever linked with fond favour? Why do the dots just need to be presented on the page but not necessary to indicate a coherent picture?
Is the news now a fashion item to be worn and not understood? Are we all dressing ourselves in designer items sewn from sacks?
And are we supposed to pay off the debt or not pay off the debt? Do we bury the gold or count it like Silas Marner did: nightly?
Carry on. It will remain ever so.

@ R Cain.
They spent like crazy here on the Olympics, the bills are coming in, $534,000,000 just for City Hall. That figure does not include the cost to build the Olympic Village, that was private money, till the private part ran away, leaving the city on the hook.
Nearly a billion to rebuild the highway to Whistler (they shut down half of it for security during the games)
A billion for security and an operational budget that will probably surpass 1.3 billion. They have warehouses full of stuff they trying to sell.
All the money pumped into the economy has to go somewhere so a lot is going into inflated housing. The condos here do not do well over time, with a really wet climate there is a fair percentage under tarps being re-built.
We should get the final tally on the Olympics this summer. Supposedly 10 billion came in, in “benefits”. My bet those who benefited won’t be paying for it.
All this in a province of less that 4 million people. The elites’ egos here are unbelievable.
