Wildfires, rising debt, debunking productivity & GDP

Posted on July 31, 2010 by stacyherbert| 74 Comments

Stacy Summary: I thought Russia was supposed to be the big beneficiary of global warming? The last two articles really go hand in hand in demonstrating the dangers of command and control, corrupt government statistics meant to trick the bond market and make the consumer (formerly known as citizen) feel better about shopping. And note that the US is the only developed nation to hedonically adjust their GDP numbers and yet over and over analysts and also the citizens of the US believe that because their GDP numbers, as stated, are higher than the rest of the world, they are the BEST!

Debt that dare not speak its name while insider trading talks loud & clear

Posted on May 20, 2009 by stacyherbert| 35 Comments

Stacy Summary: We record On the Edge on Wednesday for Friday air date. So, sorry for the delay in posting. But here you go – Another day of confusing billions with millions and vice versa. Another day of blatant insider trading. And another day in which nothing will be done about it. What are your thoughts on the likelihood of anyone under 75 ever getting a pension in the US? Right now, those receiving public pension seem to be one of the lucky ones receiving enforceable through taxation benefits, but how long do you think those will last?

Max Keiser Blog: A Bad Case of Paralytic Debt Poisoning

Posted on April 1, 2009 by stacyherbert| 15 Comments

The latest piece on Huffington Post

A red tide of toxic debt has poisoned the nation’s financial system. And the American taxpayers are paralyzed as the financial oligarchs brazenly plunder their Fed and Treasury pockets.

The collateralized debt obligations, the credit default swaps, the mortgage backed securities and other debt instruments were, of course, only able to bloom to toxic levels in an environment overly rich in the necessary nutrients (deregulation, lax oversight, etc.).

And we over-fed the debt markets because we had lost our real wealth and incomes since the end of the gold standard and the beginning of financial deregulation. And the subsequent explosion in personal debt has left us further unable to respond to the financial meltdown. Without the resources to survive on our own incomes, we had grown ever more dependent on the very debt choking off the oxygen to our real economy.
