Re: Financial topics
People will not cease to have hobbies, to experiment, to enjoy new experiences, and to make meaning of their lives just because they no longer have to "work" to put food on their plates. Really how is it any different than those in comfortable retirement right now. Some of them are happy, some are n...

Re: Financial topics
Gordo, Great discussion. What I am concerned with is what happens “in between” this crisis event or era and where we end up and just how bad does it get in between? I also agree with you that our attitude in how we look at things has more to do with our destiny than anything. I grew up, went to coll...

Re: Financial topics
Hi Gordon, I ejoyed and agreed with a lot of your post. A couple things that cropped up in my mind as I was reading though: "Today we are more productive than humans have ever been in all human history. I laugh when I hear idiots lamenting the loss of manufacturing or farming jobs - this is a wonder...

Re: Defensive Interpretation on GD?
I'm glad you like the site. I would hate to see what you'd write if you didn't like the site. Would I be correct in assuming that you're a Generation-Xer?" John, There are 2 parts to my post and 2 "authors" My personal comments were ABOVE the line in my post. The section below the _______________ in...

Re: Defensive Interpretation on GD?
Hi Joel, "Your mention of electronic currency being created by a flick of a switch (or click of a mouse) reminds me of the following article by AE Fekete" That was in the context of what I pasted from someone who I thought had a rather defensive stance on GD. I am more concerned into learning and lo...

House Democrats Contemplate Abolishing 401(k) Tax Breaks[
Has anyone considered how we will "look" in a few years? The following surely caught my attention, considering I am in the pension business. The key element of the Ghilarducci proposal is that it amounts to compelling workers to make forced loans to the government. The Treasury would receive cash up...

Re: 'The Truth About Deflation' Janszen
Dear Matt, Thank you for your reply. I enjoy coming to this site becuase John and others (like yourself) are willing to look at things without "speaking to your holdings" or so it appears. I've experienced rath, hostility, been called an idiot and told I am clueless when asked 2 simple explanations ...

Defensive Interpretation on GD?
I have mentioned that I was extremely grateful to find this site. First, I learned to question my thinking which I was exceeding lazy in assuming gold would rise since inflation was a "no-brainer" This kind of thinking caused me to over allocate my portfolio to gold holdings. In any event (deflation...

'The Truth About Deflation' Janszen
I thought I would post this as I consider Eric Janszen to have a decent grasp of monetary policy. What I don't hear these people saying though is that inflation is an increase on the monetary aggregates with an expansionary business climate...We have neither today. Please comment and critique. The t...
