Democrats are getting nervous about Obama’s money problem

As second quarter fundraising reports start to trickle in, the Obama campaign is already warning that it may have lost its edge in the campaign money wars.

Publicly, the campaign has tried to turn its fundraising disadvantage into a political opportunity, raising the reliable specters of Karl Rove and the Koch brothers to scare liberal donors into forking over more cash. On Friday, the President, basking in the glow of his [...]

The movement of the kind of money we are using or a money system itself is a problem.

London Banker: 1933 testimony of Marriner Eccles

Excerpts from the testimony of Marriner Eccles to the Senate Committee on the Investigation of Economic Problems in 1933.

“Before effective action can be taken to stop the devastating effects of the depression, it must be recognized that the breakdown of our present economic system is due to the failure of our political and financial leadership to intelligently deal with the money problem. In the real world there is no cause [...]

Many EU leaders seem to actually believe that the Treaty changes are important. The reality is the market could care less about treaty changes. The market cares about only one thing, that the ECB will announce new, bigger, more aggressive sovereign purchases.

Europe Doesn’t Get It

I still think the most likely scenario is that some agreement to agree is made at the summit, which is then followed up by increased printing from the ECB, coupled with new Fed policies and fresh IMF money.

As The Shadow Banking System Imploded In Q2, Bernanke’s Choice Has Been Made For Him

With the FOMC meeting currently in full swing, speculation is rampant what will be announced tomorrow at 2:15 pm, with the market exhibiting its now traditional schizophrenic mood swings of either pricing in QE 6.66, or, alternatively, the apocalypse, with furious speed. And while many are convinced that at least the “Twist” is already guaranteed, as is an IOER cut, per Goldman’s “predictions” and [...]

The REAL price of oil is $5 a barrel in real US silver coins from 1963. The REAL price of gasoline is down 50% from 1963. In 1963 a gallon of gasoline was three silver dimes. Today, in 2011, the REAL price of gasoline is TWO gallons for three silver dimes. In real money gasoline is 50% cheaper today in 2011 than it was [...]

No Shit! US economy is so horrible!

Silver is now 45% higher than it was the last time I made a bullion purchase for myself. Hidden away, in the bowels of the earth it rests as the sheeple wander around from Apple store to Apple store stocking up on the “really important” things in life.

This entire phony stock market and economy need to be put into perspective once and for all. For [...]

SUMMARY OF THE BIGGEST BAIL OUT EVER: EVEN KEYNES IS SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE

“In other words, total and unprecedented monetary lunacy, as every central bank, under the orchestration of the Federal Reserve, will throw money at the problem until it goes away, which it won’t.
