I've read in history books how the Chinese always think in the long term, but I haven't seen any evidence of it. The Chinese were clear cutting ancient forest that had been protected by the Manchus after the 1911 revolution for a quick buck. The Chinese have poisoned there own water supply. Even the dirt in China is toxic. China has left itself with only two options: invade other nations and steal their resources or die of thirst and hunger.

[quote="John"] From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, the mood and behavior of people today matches the 1930s, not the 1980s, which means that the velocity of money is going to continue to plummet, and that the economy is in a deflationary spiral.[/quote]

In the 1930s as people took gold out of the Fed, the Fed had to withdraw money from circulation as the law only allowed them to have 2.5 times as much paper money as they had gold backing it. It was undoing the injection of new Fed money made during the roaring 20s. This was deflationary. Do you have any other generational examples of deflation? It seems like the 1930s deflation was a result of the Fed and not some generational thing.

Currently food and energy are going up in price, maybe like 5% per year. If a bank pays you 0.5% and a fee of $2 when you use the ATM then you are better off buying extra cans of Tuna, etc., than putting your money in the bank. Eventually people notice they are better off buying things than putting their money in the bank. This will make the velocity of money go up.

[quote="NoOneImportant"]When bad news is "good" news beware, everything is screwed up. Growth is, in its purest form, the creation of value. When something other than the creation of value is noted as "good news", be concerned. The government is parasitic, it creates no products, no value, no markets, and no new customers; as a tape worm it feeds on the nutrition taken in by the organism, and in the end starves the organism to death; it - government - thus assures that the consumed nutrition does not make its way to the organism. It feeds on the nutrition acquired by the organism, at the expense of the organism.

With half of US citizens (not to mention millions of illegals) on some form of government assistance, and at least 52% of employed people working for the government, [b]how many actual worker bees are there? [/b]What does that translate to? 1 in 5 Americans pay into the tax base? (Civil servants just recycle taxpayer money back into the system.) If you ask me, America's hanging by a thread. What happens when the product base of the country bails out?
