Re: Financial topics

I think we will never see an audit of the Fed in our lifetime. They have friends in high places who will never allow it. I admire Ron Paul's "gumption" but it is naive to think the central bankers who control so much would allow this to happen. I am certain they have enough congressmen and senators ...

Re: Financial topics

Freddyv said: I hope I am wrong but how can we ever deal with the debt we as a nation have unless we actually face reality? We are not facing reality and those of us that believe Generational Dynamics is truly predictive should be able to see that this is going to be a long process, just as long as...

Sorry if I'm being too lazy by not reading old posts, but I am curious, what is a "black swan event"? Thanks

Re: An explanation of the financial crisis

A few observations on this thread: 1. Innovation is ALWAYS the answer to bad economic times - as long as it is not killed by whatever government is ruling. It may take a year, ten years, even 20, but at some point out of the rubble of a collapsed economy, innovation creates new opportunities. Over a...

Re: China

In regards to Jlak and StilesBC comments on China's longer term strategy for U.S. debt - they can have a lot of influence with control of almost $2 Trillion in US currency. One sobering view is that they can make demands on the US and we have to listen because we are so indebted to them. One frighte...

Re: the near future for america

Malleni, I believe your statement: just forget to say something regarding your statement about "terrorism". Personally, I think that Americans need not to be afraid about terrorism. Namely, the biggest terrorist on the Planet IS - the United States of America. I.E. even if this state terrorized own ...

Re: Financial topics

manfm11, once they severed the dollar from gold there was probably going to not be any other end to this mess than an eventual bubble I agree, but John can still be correct also. In some respects the question is "which came first, the chicken or the egg". In other words, did the generational forces ...

Can you IMAGINE how bad it will get?

OK, we can lose our jobs, and have to move in with relatives if we lose our home. John (and others) have commented (i.e. in the 2009 outlook) that the steps our government is taking will result in a crisis "of unimaginable proportions". So how bad do you think it can REALLY get? I would appreciate t...
