Understated...............from Rico
UNDERSTATED is certainly not a word I would associate with Obama-Soetero. It IS a word I would use to describe the government "cooking" the books and fudging the numbers.
- After all, if you LOOK good, then you ARE good, right? Besides, it's easier to LIE than to actually BE any good.
Real vice 'official' unemployment? Follow the money.
The Daily Treasury Statement data shows the USG is understating unemployment by about
32%.
The chart shows either (a) that individual unemployment benefit checks have gone waaay up in amounts (not bloody likely), or (b) that there are a lot more checks being cut than we are being told.....the number of unemployed collecting benefits is about 14 million people and NOT the 'officially' reported 10 million people. The BLS and Treasury's collars and cuffs do not match. What's a 'little' balance sheet bubble in the big scheme of things?
- Forget that bubbles tend to 'pop' and ignore that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how this will end.
Management by perception. Lie to look good. It works better than actually doing anything positive about unemployment.

THE PROFESSIONALS
We possess a unique skill set and we perform a vital service. Like professional athletes, we are paid exactly what we are worth and it is never enough - for example: try to get a life insurance policy in this line of work.

Movie Review: 'Sherlock Holmes'
Should I see it?
Yes, but yes in the same way you should go eat a box of McNuggets - don't go expecting grandma's turkey dinner.

It just keeps getting better............from Rico
Green shoots of recovery. Obama-Soetero 'saved' the economy. Unemployment is almost beaten. Dollar-cost averaging is still a good idea. We're all better off than we were.
Just tune to your choice of Nanny-State media outlets and be deluged with "good news!" from the Ministry of Truth. Pablum intended for the clueless who live in never-never land.
For the decade just ended:
- The S&P 500 is down 24%
- Real home values are down 3%
- The US Dollar is down 23%
- Unemployment is back to 1980-levels (no lie)
And 2010 will be worse!
- Factor in the unfunded liabilities (like Social Security and Medicare) and the debt-ratio jumps to 1,000%...and that's before "Wealth Reform", errrrr "Health Reform."
- Compare this to the Great Depression numbers.
Given the choice between what is good for the politicians (good politics) and what is good for the people (good economics), you probably have a pretty shrewd guess by now which will be chosen by our eternally-running-for-election politicians, don't you?
- This is possibly why the non-clueless are investing in bullion, and guns & ammo.
Whatever happens, it's gonna really hurt and leave a mark!
- Be prepared as the Boy Scouts say.

Fiddling around............from Rico
Nero is 'famous' for fiddling while Rome burned. Few are aware that when nero debased the silver standard of Rome, he didn't simply 'clip' the coins. He left the denarias pure silver on the outside, and made them copper-silver on the inside.
Nero 'hid' his activites, much like today...we still do not 'know' all of the details of what took place in the bailout of the financial industry.
- The Fed refuses to tell us, they'll never be audited, and Ben-the-bearded keeps printing more greenbacks (debasing the dollar).
See any similarities?
Not like Washingtoon is 'fiddling around' here, right?
- Hmmmmm...I think I actually DO smell smoke in the air.
Well our savvy and no-nonsense Congress simply says "nothing to see here, move along now" while considering TARP 2.0...yes, another bailout is being bandied about.
- Just because the original TARP's +$700 bn was never used for its purported original purpose is no reason not to extend it! Besides, you still might have some CHANGE left in your pockets, schnooks, and they HOPE to get that too!
