☆ Infamy Can Be Rewarded As Well As Fame

News Analysis: Infamy Can Be Rewarded As Well As Fame; Has one’s Actions  helped or has one Actions hurt others? A person’s Perception of Short Term Assistance may be another’s Perception of Long Term Grief. Does one look at an event close up or does one look at the event from a distance (so a Seriatim Value can be applied). For example, one can be standing adjacent to a roadway and think traffic is moving rapidly; a view from above in a helicopter may show serious vehicular collisions causing stoppages in both directions (since one’s Perspective has been enhanced).

Men and Women who are well experienced in International Commerce can see the Folly of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) ‘”Money Geyser’ Printing Program” which continues today. The “Short Term” Relief provided by spurious Capital Creation causes the “Long Term” Pain of Capital Devaluation: Mere “Paper with Ink on It” (tangibly supported by NOTHING of Long Term Economic Value). Short Term Thinking by the ‘Fed’ many people state.

Compounding the ‘Fed’s’ Ignorance, the U.S. White House’s alleged $1.26 Trillion Dollar Funding Program had Monies allocated to Banks which were not attached with a Proviso that Banks MUST loan the funds to businesses for hiring of Employees. Instead, the Banks bought Treasury Instruments.

Today, American Unemployment remains Dismal at best. The White House brags about people being hired (Fast Food Hamburger Flippers or U.S. Transportation Security Administration hires); not high paying jobs.

The Fee charged by a Gentleman, some people may think, is being paid for past performance: This in long term influence on America’s questionable Economic Future in dealing with its current and future Multi-Trillion Dollar Debt.

Perspective: Is one living in America or living afar so the Economic Pain of Americans, now and in the future, is of  little Concern. Some people enjoy watching others suffer.

Infamy can pay Handsomely.

Reality.

☆ America’s $18 Trillion Dollars Of Debt Makes Replacement Of Old Cracked Dams Unlikely

News Analysis: America’s $18 Trillion Dollars Of Debt Makes Replacement Of Old Cracked Dams Unlikely (since it can ill afford such costs). Its President’s Indebting the Nation at a faster rate than the past Presidents says a lot about his knowledge of Money Management. Of course, his Minions at the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), with their $4 Trillion Dollars in Debt, cannot do much to help. Over his remaining Two+ Years in Office, many Economists think he will raise America’s indebtedness to over $20 Trillion Dollars and not replace Decrepit Infrastructure whatsoever. 

Allowing for continued Military Incursions overseas at an approximate estimated cost of $1 Million Dollars Per Man-Year, negates availability of Funds for Federal Domestic Improvements. In spite of his Campaign Promises to cut Military Extravagances, America maintains its largest Defense Forces in the World.

As America Gloats about its Military Strengths, Its Dams Crack. If, in Seriatim Fashion, also, Bridges Fail, and/or, there are Climatic or Geologic Perturbations, how can the Country pay for the damages incurred? “Just Print More Money” will be the answer from the ‘Fed’.

Reality.

U.S. Federal Reserve Management: Financial Myopia Of 2008 Continues Today

News Analysis: With the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) Management its Financial Myopia Of 2008 Continues today with little learned by its past. Unfortunately the Management “Masters of the Universe” at the ‘Fed” are continuing with “Same-O, Same-O” policies since 2008. The University Economics Professors who join the ‘Fed’ and later go back to “Academia” do not understand: America Used To Be “The Benchmark Of Capitalism”. In the Capitalistic World, Businesses have the ABILITY TO SUCCEED OR THE ABILITY TO FAIL. Through successes, America improved.

Today, “Some Businesses are Too Big to Fail” Washington Politicians decree. They take Tax Payers money and ‘shore up’ the poor producers (such as defunct Solar Energy Companies like Solyndra); at a cost of 500 Hundred Million Dollars.

The ‘Fed’ presently sits on $4 Trillion Dollars of Obligations it acquired during its Inept Reign since 2008. How does it pay back its obligations? Certainly, it cannot do so in the brief  remaining term for the President (who gave the ‘Fed’ a free-hand in running things).

Allegedly the former Head of the “Fed” goes back to Academia; the new Head comes from there. Like a ‘Teeter-Totter” the ‘Fed’ goes up and down (but takes its occupants no where different).

Reality.

New Head Of The U.S. Federal Reserve ‘Fed’ Gets Greeted With Un-Carbonated Champagne

News Analysis: A 326 Point Drop in the ‘Dow” Stock Index on the First Day of the New “Fed” Chairwoman’s Appointment appears to show “No Fizzle Remains in the Champagne”.  Her much touted Predecessor had an ever enthusiastic Press that made lauding comments about his many mistakes; either they did not know any better or through their own avarice.

Today, years later, Unemployment is still a Major American Problem and the ‘Fed’ Chairwoman cannot lower Interest Rates into ‘Negative Zones’; she received an emptied Tool Box from the Bearded Gentleman. “Same-O” “Same-O” as her predecessor will gain her little now.

It seems as though the “Bubble Masters” to whom we often allude are finding their ‘Cork Stoppers’ to be defective; their Champagne is getting ‘Flat’. Even a Sommelier cannot repair the damage, so the Gullible will buy this “Wine”. What happens now can be easily estimated: the “Bubble Masters” will quickly Liquidate their Inventories; A Little of Something Is Better Than A Whole Lot Of Nothing. They do not want Vinegar.

The Investing Public who has enthusiastically ‘Taken the Plunge” into the Stock Market need to look around; they may see the “Bubble Masters” running quickly out of the ‘Water’.

As for justification for running onto the beach, the Press (who are Minions of the “Bubble Masters”) will report in their newspapers: ‘Stock Sharks Seen In Ocean – “Innocent”Bathers Flee!’

Reality.

☆ The Four+ Trillion Dollar Indebtedness ‘Joke’ On Americans

News Analysis: The Reality of Four+ Trillion Dollars of U.S. Federal Reserve Debt mustered by the ‘Brilliance’ of the departed former head of the U.S.  Federal Reserve is barely recognized by the U.S. News Media. $834+ Million Dollars was the amount that  was initially on the “Fed’s” books when the Employment Term commenced.  

In spite of the expenditures by this aforementioned Economic ‘Genius’, Unemployment in America has remained dismal. In fact more Americans than ever before are not even seeking employment.

The “Fed’s” Approach in propping up the economy, as it tried to do, was a Sophomoric Idea.  Americans (on top of this “Fed” Debt) are  being presently “Hammered” by an Ineptly Designed Health-care Law;  some people say to promote a person’s “Legacy” in American History. If one is to Talk the Talk, He must be able to Walk the Walk. Inexperienced Amateur “Wannabees” need not apply. They just “Mess Things Up”.

Unfortunately for the American Citizenry, the Four+ Trillion Dollars of “Fed” Debt will have to be dealt with by They, their Children, and Grand children; The Damage has already been done by the Person that Departed.

It is alleged than more of the Chicanery will continue by the new replacement at the “Fed” even though only scant benefits have occurred to the American Economy.

One thing Americans can be sure of, the Mass Media will discuss the Effete State of the American Economy in the most Glowing of Terms (as will be expected of Minions of the U.S. White House). Conversely, in the two forthcoming Elections, Americans who are tired of being treated as Freiers, can vote out the Inept Regime with all of its Baggage.

Reality.

U.S. Federal Reserve (FED): Today and Tomorrow Are To Be The Same As Yesterday

News Analysis:  The new head of the U.S. Federal Reserve ‘FED’ evidences a Historical Predisposition to “Loose Money Makes Peoples’ Days Sunny” many  say. The outgoing Head of the “Fed” did not exercise reserve when it came to Printing and Spending Money; this new incoming Head has been a Cheerleader of this same  imprudent policy. Her low approval rate by the U.S. Senate is telling [and  the vote was conveniently held during a hellacious Snowstorm; so Senators were not all present to vote].

The rationale of incurring in excess of Trillions of Dollars in Debt and retaining a 7 % Consistent Unemployment Rate  demonstrates the Ineffectivity of the ‘Fed’s’ Monetary Policies. The $4 Trillion Dollars in Bonds acquired by the ‘Fed’ evidences potential gargantuan losses as well, many people opine.

The “Bottom Line” of the U.S. Government’s Naïve Approach to the Ignorant and Self-Serving Decisions by Managements in Banks, Finance, and Large Manufacturing Companies in America over the past couple of decades is being exposed. The aforementioned entities were deemed “Too Big To Fail” (by ‘Uncle Sam’). They (with their Lobbyists and alleged “Remunerations Dispersed”) were assured of ‘Bailouts” using Taxpayer Funds; Millions of Dollars of which have not been repaid.

The fact that the physically gigantic “Financial Stimulus Bill”, to help the aforementioned, was WRITTEN and SIGNED in the first 30 Days in Office makes many wonder how was that possible? Did Banks and such have their Attorneys draft it BEFORE the Presidential Election even took place? Such complex and lengthy documents can take Months to properly construct; especially when a Trillion + Dollars is involved! “Government Attorneys do not work that fast” many people think. Which of the Members of the Investigative Press ever inquired formally into this subject?

The Philosophy of the U.S. Government  was to dissolve “Capitalism” as many knew it and substitute “Federalism” in its place. The Regime in Washington, D.C.  dispensed with the Concept: Capitalism allows the “Efficient to Succeed, and the Inefficient to Fail”. Ergo, Business Evolution takes place and leaves the Efficient to continue. (‘Economic Adaptation’ it might be called).

The ‘Fed’ acted over the past eight years as the Chief Minion of “Federalism” and still has Mediocre Results for the Trillions of Dollars spent since the last Administration. The fact that the Mass Media choose to ignore these Enormous Expenditures over the past years and their poor results is telling. It indicates  they will not see the upcoming Financial Pending Downturn; as they did not see 2008’s omens, many Economists are predicting.

And, think: Of the Trillions of  Dollars spent, 7% Unemployment of Americans still remains.

Reality.

U.S. Federal Reserve Vote: Preserve Short-Term Financial “Policies of Plenty” or Re-gain Former Fiscal Responsibility?

News Analysis: Monday, 6 January, 2014 may have a U.S. Senate Decision on Leadership of the  Federal Reserve. The offered candidate unfortunately is considered by a myriad of Senators to epitomize a “Free Stimulus Spending Until It Hurts” attitude. Now, many concerned Senators ask if at this juncture, can the U.S. Federal Deficit keep soaring into the Heavens?

The exiting Federal Reserve Chairman, exercised anything BUT Reserve in Monetary Creation, various Financial Experts have opined. It was during his leadership that America’s Debt rose to over $17+ Trillion Dollars. This pathetic situation shows a complete misunderstanding by Federal Reserve Members.

“Capricious Capital Creation Causes Chaos” should be the Federal Reserve’s Mantra many Economists think. The question of concern to other Nations as well as to Americans is: “Will a Federal Reserve keep on serving a White House of Economically Misunderstanding Occupants? It by preserving its current policies, or will Fiscal Restraint start to take hold?” The Federal Reserves $4 Trillion Dollars in “Arrears” displays such Unknowing Largess.

The Senators voting on the Nominee for Chairperson of The Federal Reserve will let the World know if they are Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution. 

Reality.
