Mish - Global Economic Analysis

Grand Experiment Failure; Bankers Prefer Bubbles; Europe is not USA; Final Epitaph

About 2 percent of Americans get paid the minimum wage. Of that group, by the way, less than .3 of 1 percent of Americans are both under the line of poverty and on minimum wage. So it's a lot of young people. About 50 percent of them are between 16 and 24 years old. For a lot of them, it's a part-time job.

The Great Silver Subsidization

(8)

I enjoyed your comment to a degree. I like the biographical analogy. But, unless you are writing to see in black and white the thoughts you are assimilating, you should consider how disjointed your commentary is. I find it VERY difficult to follow or derive any cogent point from what you've written.

Exhibit A: >>>As statisticians love to point out, correlation does not imply causation.Silver and gold are indeed highly correlated, their price action deeply interrelated.So mathematically at least, the case for silver driving gold is equal to the one for gold driving silver.<<<

Wow, every other analyst I've read says China IMPORTED 1,000 tonnes last year and is on target to IMPORT 1,200 tonnes this year.

Typical Kunstler. Senseless elitest liberal gibberish. For some unknown reason, Kunstler prefers a demonstrably miniscule number of jobs that pay 'a living wage' to many MANY jobs that allow opportunity in communities where very little opportunity existed. I was reared in rural Louisiana (Columbia) and saw the half dozen main street merchants who made a middle-class existence based off of the lack of choice o...

Gold - Escape from Slavery

"A key reason why many are concerned about the Fed’s increase in monetary base is because it has the potential to fuel inflation." It is difficult to take seriously an article that states that inflation has the potential to fuel inflation. The increase in monetary base IS inflation. That entities have the ability to avoid increases in prices for a time through manipulative machinations does not change the na...

Did the Gold Standard Cause the Great Depression

Such a pointed historical encapsulation!! Makes me want to deluge every policy maker's inbox with copies in the hope that SOMEHOW, maybe by osmosis, some sliver of historical reference might pass through the seemingly impermeable membrane that keeps them isolated from economic reality.

Celente Warns of 2012: Economy Will Crash, Banks Will Close, Chaos Will Ensue

I guess its early in the day for you. Celente is pretty accurate. He doesn't claim to be clairvoyant. He follows trends and we're living the manifestation of the trends he has defined over and over in detail. If he was claiming to be Kreskin he would be debunked. I enjoy how accurate he is. From your comment, you either know nothing about the person you are discussing or worse, you know nothing about the w...

House of horrors: Prices Falling in 8 of 16 Measured Countries; Is the US Undervalued

(28)

Thanks again, Mish! Very good article. It never ceases to amaze me, as one who has no formal education in economics, how thin is the analysis put out by those who should have a better grasp on such things. Foreclosure of homes might indeed put a bind on available rentals for a time, until their former vacant homes become part of the pool of rentals. Such things go through a time consuming process that might ...

With 'Retirement Planning Software' writers and consultants who butcher and convolute the English language so completely, it becomes less of a mystery that 'Retirement Planning' is such a near-futile endeavor.
>>>To begin if 'the poor will always be poor', why spend at all in the manner proposed Chilean.<<< Honestly? Is English your first language, and if so, did you learn it in a Shakespearian laboratory?...

A "Must See" Heart Wrenching Video of Moral Deterioration in China

>>>Some of your writings, and especially some comments by your readers expressed disappointments towards the system of the US - I am all up for you to challenge it for the better, but just know that as broken as it may seem to be, it is still one of the "better ones" in the world.<<<

Herman Cain's Hidden Nine

A "rip off of impoverished people"??? Give me a break! It is imperative that we broaden the tax base in this country. The "impoverished" in this country are defined by a very loose standard. Every wage earning individual utilizes the infrastructure of this nation to have what they have. Paying their small part of their meager incomes is an element of the motivator to improve upon their lot through a broad va...

Precious Metals: Just a Squiggle

(11)

I agree with you that maintaining 1000+ military bases on other countries, etc. is not a prudent policy. That, alone, doesn't leave you with Ron Paul. And 'listening to Paul's arguments, with an open mind' is the reason I understand how dangerous his views are. Having an open mind doesn't rewrite world history. Dr. Paul has a twisted comprehension based in making an ideology work. He's a 'single-layer think...

There is no lack of contemplation of Ron Paul. The problem is, upon careful consideration, Congressman Paul simply has a very dangerous and misinformed view of foreign policy. Mr. Paul would be a wonderful person for a well-rounded candidate to bring into his cabinet to begin the process of rooting out the Fed.

The Credibility Crash

>>>The US deficit deal led to the loss of S&P’s AAA rating. The announcement rocked markets worldwide but should not have been a surprise. The credit rater drew a line in the sand months earlier, insisting a plan to cut $4 billion from US federal deficits over 10 years was the minimum requirement for keeping AAA.

The Washington agreement promises $2.4 billion in cuts and most of that must be determined...

Racial Racketeering for Fun and Profit: The Southern Poverty Law Center Scam

(2)

I beg to differ. An extreme righty is distinctly better than an extreme lefty. That's like asking how the decisions of a one year old are inferior to an 80 year old. Eight decades of experience tends to give the octogenarian an experience base on one end of the age extreme an advantage over the person on the other end of the age extreme. Doesn't make everything 'extreme right' perfect, but the 'right' or 'co...

Will the United States Survive Until 2015

As erudite and brilliantly 'out-of-the-box' Ron Paul's thought process is, the validity of MANY of his ideas do not supercede the nuttiness of a large swath of what Paul proposes as a solution to our national predicament. It is very difficult to divorce the brilliance and boldness from the boundless ridiculous nature of his theoretical concepts.

American jobs, factories and investment: the picture is grim

"However, recriminations — no matter how well deserved — will not alleviate the situation." Recriminations are not the point when defining Obama and his policies. And defining the deficiencies in his policies is not intended to 'alleviate the situation'. Defining the massive expansion of the budget deficit and the ineptitude in his attempts to 'grow the economy' through fiscal policy is intended to shine a lig...

Is Money The Root Of All Evil

(12)

I didn't say "money is the root of all evil". I didn't say "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil".

Often misquoted as 'money is the root of all evil', it originates in the Bible, Timothy 6:10 (King James Version):

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
