The winter of QE.........from Rico
We've all had the "summer of recovery" as coined by Joe "plugs" Biden.
- That sure went well, didn't it?
Next we'll get the "winter of quantitative easing."
- Let me explain.
With actual 22.5% unemployment (John Williams/Shadowstat) and NOT the 9.5% 'and we're adding jobs' manure being ladld out to us by phoney government numbers, and my personal favorite....there is NO inflation (as figured by the government, again after cooking the numbers and NOT including energy or food)!!
- Have you bought any coffee lately? Food? Then you know the 'inflatin' numbers are as fakey as the 'unemployment' numbers.
Quantitative Easing One did not fix anything, and it did not create any jobs.
Quantitative Easing Two will not fix anything, and it will not create any jobs...but since the FED now is on a mission to create inflation, we'll GET inflation. More than they reckon for, or will know what to do with, but count on government policies creating worse problem than the one they are trying to solve.
QE-2 will give us inflation, which is really swell for the bottom 20% of America who ar already spending more than half of their incme on FOOD and ENERGY (you know, those items that aren't counted in the inflation/CPI numbers), and with a good dose of inflation soon mainstreet Americans will b deciding if they want to heat the house, drive the car, or eat.
A "Winter of QE 2" will be cold, lean, and hungry. I guess if no one can afford gas or food, they won't have the "energy" to march on DC and lynch anyone.
- Until then, however, extended 'vacations' by our political elites outside the country seem to be the order of the day. Hmmmmmmmm...........

Who Knew? MSNBC's Lawrence O’Donnell Admits On-Air: 'I Am a Socialist'
Cross-posted from American Power.
*****
Via The Blaze.
This is just part of the larger MSNBC commie catfight bewtween O'Donnell and Glenn Greenwald:
God this is wonderful.
Matt Lewis has the background, "'Morning Joe' Battle: Lawrence O'Donnell vs. Glenn Greenwald," and he notes:
... the larger debate here is over whether Democrats will view the 2010 midterm elections as evidence they misread their mandate and over-reached after 2008 -- or if they will view it as evidence they moderated too much after 2008.And never one to miss having the last word, Rick Ellensburg has more, "Lawrence O'Donnell vehemently denies his own words." In a couple of thousand words, Ellensburg regurgitates the line that "Democrats weren't socialist enough." This is essentially the left's pathology of defeat and denial. For the ace rebuttal, see William Galston, "It's the Ideology, Stupid."

QE-2 was our Zimbabwe moment.............from Rico
The FED'S announcement of QE-2 was not exactly a surprise, but as with all official 'announcements' these days, it was a half-truth/half-lie depending upon whether you are a "progressive" or fiscally sane.
QE-2 was our Zimbabwe moment. It amounts to almost $1 trillion and not the mere $600 million we're being told. The ongoing efforts by the FED were....well, too bothersome and pesky to trouble the little people with. It might upset them to know that the 'real' number is at least $900 million.
QE-1 at a nominal price tag of $1.7 trillion didn't work. QE-2 at $0.9 trillion won't work, either. Stupidity is repeating your actions and expecting different results.
Looking at results to date, the US Dollar has lost 50% of it's purchasing power since 1986. It's dropped 11% just since June of this year. Some really smart people are saying there is more ahead....maybe a further 20% decline. Our stock markets may be UP, but with the currency melting DOWN, it's a fool's game to think 'whee, we're getting rich!' when the 'real' value of US-denominated assets is sinking like a rock and we should be realizing 'we're freaking doomed!'
Let's face it. Zimbabwe's stock exchange also soared, up until the Z$ became worthless leaving many Z$-trillionaires broke. I'm looking a the Z$ 100 Trillion Dollar note on my wall now, and wishing I had an eqiually defunct Weimar note to frame with it....along with a Federal Reserve Note. That would complete the visual trifecta of Keynesian folly!

Solution to Al Qaeda air freight plot chaos in the international cargo freight system
At the International Air Transport Association meeting in
Germany this week, the association's top official, Giovanni Bisignani,
acknowledged serious shortcomings in the industry's capacity to screen
cargo. "There is no technology today that governments have certified to
screen standard size pallets and large items," Bisignani said.
But "Automatic Explosive Trace Detection" technology, has already
been tested and approved in Israel by Israel's ISA (Shin Bet, GSS). The technology can be scaled to size so that
entire shipping containers, pallets, and luggage can be automatically
detected for explosives.

CORONADO, Calif. (Oct. 28, 2010) Students in Sea Air and Land (SEAL) qualification training navigate the surf off the cost of Coronado during a maritime operations training exercise. The 26-week program takes students from a very basic level, to a more advanced degree of technical and tactical operations. The Navy SEALs are the maritime component of U.S. Special Operations Forces and are trained to conduct a variety of operations from the sea, air and land.
