Once In A Century Opportunity  (7)
You end one section praising "FREE MARKET C A P I T A L I S M" Oh deary me, this will not do. I am sure we would agree about most things economical, but (1) I am not a capitalist, (2) I doubt you are a capitalist, (3) I challenge you to name a single capitalist in all history. I once found one, in the later years of the life of Howard Hughes, but iot turns out I was wrong: he was already dead, but his minders...

Elevating markets: A signal of reviving bank lending  (3)
This is just short termism: as long as the bubble floats, it is very pretty. But when it bursts (UTTERLY unpredictable) "things" will not be pretty at all. Blood in the streets, war, "whatever it takes" (= "I am a politician: I don't know what to do. I'll do anything to not have to say the poisonous words, "I was wrong" - so anything else is acceptable. Please, perlease, some one, anyone, SAVE ME! Find me a ...

Is Bad Weather Behind Weak US Economic Trends  (1)
I did write a comment. No bad language. No personal attacks. No names.

Said comment vanished without trace. No reason. I will not waste time typing out a comment on this site ever again.

Yes, but... (You say) ..slows down the diversion of real wealth from real wealth producers to non-wealth producers. (New §) This means means that various bubble activities or non-productive activities are now getting less support from the money supply, and they fall into trouble.

IF ONLY. But you assume (?) or seem to suggest (?) that bubble activities go round with a big placard, saying "I am...

Why the West sells gold and China buys it  (7)
Different philosophies do not preclude deals. Given the different aims, the deal could be this: "We, the Chinese, have a surplus of dollars, and we really do not like the way you are devaluing it all the time. We could dump all our US government paper, but this might not be very clever: we might not get "best" value (for some value of "best") and you, the US government, might also see unwanted repurcussions ...

The Siren-song of Welfare State  (17)
Very true.

I have been thinking about this one. The problem is planning. On the one hand, we have to make plans, each one of us, to run our daily/weekly/monthly/ etc. lives. Those who run any kind of business even more so. And there is a vast literature on how to plan, in all sorts of details, for all sorts of applications. Planning a holiday, or to build a house, or to launch a new product, or to ...

 Peter Schiff - Euro Pacific Capital
Trickle Up Economics  (7)
This is True

But unconducive to more guvmint spending

Therefore irrelevant

Set Peter Schiff on POTUS's hit list for elimination as a trouble maker: we can do without people like him.
