William Baldwin, attempts to make the case that stocks are overvalued by 43% and will provide negative real rates of return over the next seven years. Baldwin relies on the Shiller P/E and the work of James Montier, an "asset allocation theorist" at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo (GMO).

While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

It looks like World War III is still on as of this weekend. This weekend would be prime time historically to expect an escalation.

Common sense would fully expect it because otherwise the America people are going to turn their anger inward.

Obama care will reduce medical costs and help the economy. ---------- why of course

ConsumerWatch: Some Covered California Patients Say They Can’t See A Doctor

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/0 ... -a-doctor/

Thinn Ong was thrilled to qualify for a subsidy on the health care exchange. She is paying $200 a month in premiums. But the single mother of two is asking, what for?
“Yeah, I sign it. I got it. But where’s my doctor? Who’s my doctor? I don’t know,” said a frustrated Ong.

Those who can’t find a doctor are supposed to lodge a complaint with state regulators, who have been denying the existence of a doctor shortage for months.
Meanwhile, the sick and insured can’t get appointments.

“What good is coverage if you can’t use it?” Nguyen said.
Experts said the magnitude of the problem is growing, and will soon be felt by all Californians. But those on the front lines, like the free clinic, are feeling it first.
More than 3 million Californians are newly insured. At the same time, a third of our primary care doctors are set to retire.
------------------------------------
I get it, collect more money ( pay or else ) cut down on doctors and money paid to doctors and presto, money ahead ! --- Patients what are those?
-------------------------------------

Many doctors are disturbed they will be paid less -- often a lot less -- to care for the millions of patients projected to buy coverage through the health law’s new insurance marketplaces. http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/stories ... plans.aspx

But never fear

ObamaCare Driving Doctors and Patients to Direct Pay

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/he ... direct-pay

UnitedHealth Group has dropped thousands of doctors from its networks due to falling reimbursements, leaving patients wondering what their options are. So are those physicians.

One of those physicians, Dr. Josh Umbehr in Wichita, Kansas, has opened his own “direct pay” practice as an answer to both. On his website he notes the following benefits for patients who are looking for alternatives to ObamaCare. For a small monthly fee, ranging from $10 a month (for children under 20) to $100 (for adults over 65), one becomes a member of his Atlas MD

H, turn their anger inward, you mean like this?

"Western lawmakers gather in Utah to talk federal land takeover
‘It’s time’ » Lawmakers from 9 states gather in Utah, discuss ways to take control of federal lands."
-------------------------------------------

They better get that war started soon. However, I think the "people" or at least a fair amount of them, including the troops, would think it was a set up to unify the people and hide criminality. I think the current situation in the US is more like Russia after the First World War then the US before the Second World War.
Getting into another war could have some very unexpected ramifications.

It's a start. The people in the photo look plenty angry.

Despite the tough talk and NATO moves to bolster its military presence in central and eastern Europe, Putin may be betting that the U.S. and EU are too divided to agree on significant sanctions unless Russia begins an outright invasion of Ukraine, two U.S. officials said April 18. Both requested anonymity to discuss internal policy deliberations.
