[ROCKMAN]

An interestingly simple and elegant model: financing the present with future growth expectations when those expectations cannot be met. Folks can argue the timing and degrees of such failed expectations but that doesn’t change the imbalance brought on by PO. I like simple answers...really. Lots of details to debate but the core seems rather undeniable.

Denninger is one of the blogospheres biggest megalomaniacs. He would literally rip off your head to prove that he is correct about any opinion he harbors. His forum has been emasculated to where it is 1/100th of what it was before he summarily banned virtually everyone who disagreed with him. He's an asshole, period.

If your purchasing power deteriorates by another 30-50%, will you be able to feed, clothe and keep your family and yourself warm this winter?

Below is a link to one of the best articles on our debt that I have had the pleasure to read. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. I'd like to hear what you all think about it:

You guys are spot on about KD being an asshole.

I read some where over there that Nothing was being a sock puppet that is she wasn't who she said she was, but who knows what the truth is. But your guys explanation sounds just as likely. The site is getting worse I am getting real close to being banned right now.


ABout half the stuff he said would never happen because it is illegal, has come to pass.

Denninger is a lunatic. He is now pining for the U.S. to aggressively respond to Russia, even so much as suggesting us using the nuclear option. He's banning like mad today, those who want to take a more measured/diplomatic approach to her (Russia's) actions. He thinks Russia should just accept a NATO led perimeter because it will lead to peace not war. But when a poster suggested the double standard, (see Monroe Doctrine as was expressed with the Cuban Missile crisis), the dipshit Denninger merely ignored the comparison and went on goading the anti empire crowd at his venue . He is the epitome of a neocon, warmongering zealot. I'm sure he would have no qualms about removing your life, liberty or freedom in the cause of promoting the world according to Denninger. Authoritarian folks of his ilk scare the shit out of me. Sadly I think they are the majority report in America today. Betcha he thinks Orwell was merely an unpatriotic crank.

p.s., I think, on balance, Dante's Peak or Mr. Bill offers just as much insight on things financial as Denninger, but without all the bigoted and hurtful rhetoric.

Tax receipts are falling this year vs. last, and I expect that trend to continue into 2009.

I don't see a big difference in the Federal budget in 2009 no matter who wins the election. The FDIC is going to be bailed out, and there are going to be many direct or possibly disguised programs to help people with their energy bills (such as a repeat of the second quarter rebate).

Of course that won't help in the long run. While the second quarter rebate actually did help the economy in the short run, the deficit spending to pay for it is inflationary - which is bad for the economy in the longer run.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')otal receipts for the first 10 months of fiscal year 2008 were about $16 billion (or 1 percent) lower than in the same period last year. Individual income tax receipts were about $16 billion (or 2 percent) lower because of higher refunds paid to individuals. Net corporate tax receipts fell by about $42 billion (or 14 percent). Offsetting those declines were gains in social insurance receipts of $29 billion (or 4 percent) and $12 billion in other receipts, primarily Federal Reserve receipts (up $4 billion) and estate and gift taxes (up $3 billion).

KD do have an ego, but his tech side analysis of the capital markets is always a good read.

His forum, his rules. Oh, and by the way............some of you are flaming moonbats! LOL
