What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[NeverEndingMe]

then again, you are just another socialist jackass that wants to make America the next Greece


what's wrong with you? as a baby were you dropped on your head?

did your mother smoke crack?

help me understand, how you (and the others like you) can be so f'ing stupid

Limbaugh and Beck must be pushing Goldline on the radio again..

All of this talk of buying gold is being caused by the TOP refusing to compromise on anything regarding the economy. Their actions are causing a run on gold as they threaten to collapse not only America's economy, but the world's.

I wonder how the Republicans think that holding the economy hostage is going to work out for them this time considering how it turned out in 1995 / 1996.

I see Gingrich is doubling down on the same stupidity he did then. Old dogs, new tricks. The Democrats have bent over backward, to the point that they appear to have no spine left, and still the insurgent Tea Party refuses any and all compromise.

Public opinion, as well as that of the GOP's corporate masters, is rapidly turning against their intransigence. We all know that public opinion means little to nothing to the TOP, but the Tea Party freshmen are about to find out who exactly it was that paid for all of the advertising and stump engagements that swept them into office.

If there had been a big fuss and media barrage prior to any of the seven times the debt ceiling was raised under Bush, polls would have reflected that too. But debt under a Republican president is no big deal, only under a Democrat. Now why do you think that might be?

“I was willing to compromise,” Cantor contends. “I said, Mr. President, we want to do it right. I said, I agree with you, we ought not to go beyond August 2. But because the votes are not there in the House, I asked whether he was willing to come off his statement that he will veto that. That’s what led to the blowup.”

The impasse, he predicts, will continue, unless President Obama can agree to work with Republicans on a short-term extension coupled with significant spending cuts. “It is certainly at a point of frustration right now, but we are not giving up hope,” he says. One of the points he keeps making to the president, he says, is that Republicans have already shown that they will share the sacrifice, pointing to the House GOP budget, which tackles entitlement reform, as his main example. Democrats, he says, are the ones who need to show a similar commitment to fiscal discipline.

Still, Cantor wonders whether Obama already has, in essence, shut down the opportunity for a cuts-laden compromise. “I really do question when I’m sitting in the room, hearing the president say that we must not have any movement unless it takes us through the election,” he says. “That, to me, seems very political. I’d like to get it right, rather than just do something.”

Nine weeks ago, House Speaker John Boehner enlisted Cantor for the Biden group. Cantor, who last month got frustrated and left the sessions, tells me that he thought Biden was smart in how he moderated the closed-door discussions. It was only when Democratic leaders began to complain about the cuts being proposed that he began to lose faith in the White House’s commitment to solving the problem with Republicans.

“I’ve given the vice president credit and will continue to give him a lot of credit,” Cantor says. “He was able to keep apart philosophical differences and focus on how we can reduce spending. But after about six weeks, he began to hear marching orders from the other side of this building. They began to sound the alarm that the cuts had gone too far.”

Since then, Cantor says, the discussions have gone downhill, with the White House chipping away at the cuts it had openly considered during the Biden meetings as parts of a possible debt-limit package. Coming out of the Biden talks, Cantor says, “I believed that we were at a $2.2, $2.3 trillion–type number, Well, the president said that he felt like we were more at $1.7, maybe $1.8 trillion if you massage it. Then, yesterday, after staff members met at the White House, we get a paper telling us that the number is barely at $1.4 trillion.”

Playing the Man: Defeating Obama With the Debt Ceiling
By Adam Yoshida

If President Obama's decidedly un-presidential explosion at House Majority Leader Eric Cantor during a White House meeting on Wednesday suggests anything, it's that the stress is getting to the man. Everything that we've ever seen suggests that the president is fairly thin-skinned. As someone who had virtually everything in his life handed to him -- and who made it nearly to the age of fifty living in isolated realms (Hawaii prep schools, Ivy League universities, Chicago Democratic politics) where he'd never have to even speak to, let alone deal seriously with, a genuine conservative -- he's not someone used to dealing with those who disagree with his premises. This gives the GOP an opening.

Politically, the Democrats still hold more power. Control of the White House and the Senate ensures that Republicans will not be able to get the sort of genuine reforms -- serious changes to entitlements, pro-growth tax reform, broad spending cuts, government reorganization -- that will genuinely end the debt crisis. Even assuming that the president is reelected in 2012, the contours of the 2012 political battlefield make it at least a 50/50 proposition that the Republicans will control the Senate as well come January 3, 2013. Therefore, there is little political incentive for Republicans to strike a "Grand Bargain" at the present time -- especially in light of the fact that one can be certain that, whatever its details, the media will credit such a deal to Obama and use it to kick-start the sort of "shift-to-the-center" narrative that he'll need in order to win another term. With these considerations in mind, the correct Republican strategy for the debt ceiling is to play the man, not the ball.

The present debate is plainly one that Obama would rather not be having. Not only does endless talk about how to reduce spending run counter to his belief in an ever-expanding government, but it's pretty clear at this point that this president is not really all that interested or suited for the day-to-day business of governing. His remarkably light schedule, frequent breaks, and general demeanor suggests that the man is someone whose personal energy level is not consistent with that of an active Commander-in-Chief. He's energized by the crowds and the adulation of the campaign trail -- not the adult business of managing a republic. This presents Republicans with a tremendous opportunity: if the president will not agree to the sorts of fundamental reforms that are required to truly end the crisis, then the correct course of action is to wage a war of attrition against the president on a personal level, one designed to besiege him in the White House and then to break him on a psychological level.

Forcing a series of debt limit debates will increase the likelihood of a presidential gaffe, limit the ability of the president to propose policy in other areas, and -- as I'll get to in a moment -- likely kick off by forcing a humiliating presidential climb-down from a nonsensical promise to veto any short-term increase in the limit.

On a strategic level, the goal of all sieges is to fix an opponent in place and to then compel his surrender through a sustained campaign. The Republican House can do exactly this on the debt limit by calling the president's self-admitted bluff and passing a series of short-term increases in the debt limit along with bite-sized cuts in government spending. There's absolutely no reason why the House should accept the president's desire for a debt limit increase that will run through the end of 2012. The fact that the president is disinterested in having to campaign and govern at the same time is irrelevant to the American people.

The numbers that we're speaking about are so large that they're beyond the capability of most citizens to fully grasp. If the Congress passes, say, a $500-billion increase in the limit -- along with $600 billion or so in spending cuts -- does it really seem probable that the president will veto it and then either default on payments on the debt or fail to make Social Security payments? Even with the aid of all of the persuasive powers of the media, it is nearly impossible to conceive of how the blame for whatever would happen in the aftermath of such a veto would not fall squarely upon the president.

Funny shit:

One of the benefits of having been a nurse for over thirty years is that people will occasionally allow me to be brutally honest. For example, I can get away with telling an acquaintance, "God did not create gastric reflux medication just so you can eat an entire pizza and then go lie on the couch like a beached whale."

Until recently, I was willing to believe that President Obama and his party were merely way-out-leftists, even Marxists. But after listening to their response to last week's horrific economic news, I can only conclude that today's Democratic Party has lost its collective mind. In this nurse's expert opinion, Obama and the Democrats are crazy.

By "crazy," I mean looney, batty, daft, bonkers, and nutty as a fruitcake, to put it in medical terms.

On Friday, we learned that the recovering American economy added a piddling 18,000 jobs in June and that the unemployment rate rose to 9.2%. The underemployment rate jumped to 16.2%. Americans based in reality were not surprised. Contrary to the reactions of professional economists, these numbers were hardly "unexpected" to us. After all, chances are that we are unemployed or underemployed, or else we love someone who is one or the other.

But the economic picture is very different on Planet Democrat. In his comments last
Friday after receiving the dismal jobs report, President Obama actually suggested:

Right now, there are over a million construction workers out of work after the housing boom went bust, just as a lot of America needs rebuilding. We connect the two by investing in rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our railways and our infrastructure. And we could put back to work right now some of those construction workers that lost their jobs when the housing market went bust.

That statement is indicative of a person suffering from delusions and a lack of short-term memory. After a trillion dollars in stimulus spending a mere year and a half ago that didn't work, President Obama suggests...more stimulus!

Today in Washington, Republicans are attempting to negotiate with the president and the Democrats on raising the debt ceiling. Why bother? Any sane adult will tell them: it is impossible to negotiate with a crazy person. And it's obvious to every rational American that today's leading Democrats are crazy.

Only a crazy person would insist that we raise taxes in a recession.
Only a crazy person would tell us that Social Security is just fine.
Only a crazy person believes that people won't vote based on the unemployment rate.

Occasionally in my work in emergency and intensive care nursing, I would be assigned a patient who was delusional in addition to whatever physical trauma or disease brought him to the hospital. These patients are challenging, to say the least. I quickly learned that if the two of us were going to make it through the shift, there were some very important ground rules.

First, the nurse must accept that the patient is delusional, and therefore a lot of the things he "knows" are not based in reality and therefore not true. Asking a delusional patient who sees a giant pink bunny in the corner what medications he takes is not the best way to gather information. Asking a Democrat who believes that the rich are not paying their fair share to come up with a budget that makes sense is ludicrous.

Second, it is impossible to compromise with a person who is not in touch with reality. Hospital staff can't realistically make a discharge plan with a patient who believes she lives in Buckingham Palace. Likewise, Republicans can't compromise with any delusional Democrat who, for example, actually believes that the 14th amendment gives the president the authority to raise the debt ceiling all by himself.

Third, it's important to avoid validating the patient's delusions by arguing about them. In nursing school, we were taught to say, "I understand that the penguin at the foot of the bed is very real to you. But I don't see it." Then simply get on with your job. Republicans need to stop wasting their breath trying to prove to crazy liberals that Medicare is going broke. Republicans will never win that argument, because the two sides are working from different solar systems. Republicans work from reality. Liberals live on Planet Democrat.

NIGGEROMICKS: Economy Grinds to a Halt, Consumer Sentiment Lowest Since March 2009


Grim news. Maybe this calls for another speech from The Great Orator.
“The preliminary reading for the consumer sentiment index dropped to 63.8 in July from 71.5 the month before,” Reuters said. The press agency added that the survey’s data on current economic conditions fell to 76.3, the lowest since November 2009, from 82.0 in June. The measure of consumer expectations was also at its lowest since March 2009, tumbling to 55.8 from 64.8, last month.

Because the data is so fresh, it is likely to be that the economy ground to a halt during the last 30 days. While the data does not measure business activity, it is still a powerful sign of a slowdown because US GDP growth is based at least two-thirds on consumer activity. The trouble is likely to ripple through business and housing industry, the data for which will be posted in a few weeks. There should also be an effect on major parts of the economy such as car sales and retail activity.


How does a 1% GDP grab you?

The final signal from the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan July survey is that GDP for the third quarter is more and more likely to be close to 1%.

Jackson Lee: Congress complicating debt ceiling because Obama is black
By Josiah Ryan - 07/15/11 03:02 PM ET


Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.

"I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness [toward] this president,” said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “Why is he different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully? Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Why did the leader of the Senate continually talk about his job is to bring the president down to make sure he is unelected?”
