Temat: USA: nadspodziewanie szybki wzrost gospodarki
...explain why the recession seemed mild and why everyone is talking about recovery. The government spending, which has very quickly pumped an extra $100 billion into the economy, began in October. Outlays are up over last year?s increases by 13.1 percent. In terms of GDP, it accounts for fully 1 percent. As for consumer spending, it is financed almost entirely by new borrowing fueled by artificially lower interest rates. Looking even deeper, we can see that Federal Reserve policy has been astonishingly loose since the beginning of 2001, reaching as high as 20 percent per annum by some measures. Let?s say I set out to stimulate economic production in this room. We could all gather together to write some software that is valued by the market, or we could teach each other new skills that increase our labor productivity. But what if I stood here with a photocopying machine and made a thousand copies of the $20...

Temat: Repressed Depression
...did the article seem far-fetched? Did it seem dated? Could you tell how old it was? Because I removed the footnotes, which were dated, and changed verb tenses for people who have died since 1967 – everyone cited in my article – it's hard to tell when it was published. That's my point. The more things change, the more they stay the same – except the purchasing power of fiat money. I have reprinted my ancient article as an exercise in understanding Federal Reserve policy. Fed policy never changes. The dollar loses value, year after year. I sit here looking at what the Federal Reserve System and the Bank of Japan are doing to their respective economies, and I conclude that the same old policy is still in force. The central bankers have created a debt monster that can only be fed with endless currency expansion. Inflation is their only available policy to solve the nation's macroeconomic problems. It's Little...

Temat: Bezrobocie w USA najnizsze od 5 lat!
Reuters/CNN: "The claims data, which suggested robust labor-market conditions, came one day ahead of a closely watched monthly Labor Department report on employment. Economists expect that report to show a solid 200,000 gain in the number of workers on nonfarm payrolls in December, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 5 percent. Minutes from a mid-December meeting of Federal Reserve policy-makers released Tuesday showed some officials think the United States might currently be near full employment." No a teraz czas na maly stek z bizona i niewielka szklaneczke bourbona! [nim komornik zapuka do drzwi! :-)))]

... 26.00, or 2 percent, to 1279.60. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 203.25, or 1.9 percent, to 10,381.12. Three stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Nasdaq Composite Index fell to its lowest level in 16 months, down 50 percent from...

...for 54.5. A reading above 50 suggests manufacturing is expanding. Earlier, a Commerce Department report showed bigger-than- expected increases in personal income and spending in August. Federal Reserve policy-makers evaluate such economic reports carefully in their deliberations over whether to raise interest rates. The central bankers' next meeting is Tuesday. Quarter's 1st Day ...

Temat: HOW DOWN DOW NOW
...been victimized by a boom-and-bust monetary policy. In addition, most Americans have suffered a steadily eroding purchasing power because of the Federal Reserve's inflationary policies. This represents a real, if hidden, tax imposed on the American people. From the Great Depression, to the stagflation of the seventies, to the burst of the dotcom bubble last year, every economic downturn suffered by the country over the last 80 years can be traced to Federal Reserve policy. The Fed has followed a consistent policy of flooding the economy with easy money, leading to a misallocation of resources and an artificial "boom" followed by a recession or depression when the Fed-created bubble bursts. With a stable currency, American exporters will no longer be held hostage to an erratic monetary policy. Stabilizing the currency will also give Americans new incentives to save as they will no...
