GE Jack Welch 6% jobless target now hit

I dont think we have just a lagging jobless rate continuing to rise as the economy strengthens
I think we have evidence for wrong economists to latch onto and claim this jobless rate doesnt matter
because unemployment is a lagging indicator

this aint a regular business cycle, end of recession
it is a structural correction marked by oversupply and excess debt
it is also crippled by an asset bubble and its horrible effects
asset bubbles are the worst bubbles to plague economies
they result in an entire structure of debt and spending in response, which is expected to be sustainable from the high asset values
not gonna happen, and now turning ugly

I believe the stock market averages are in decline for two reasons
1. erosion of investor confidence amidst Enron, GlobalXing, and now Spitzer investigations
2. heralding of new recession over the horizon, led by the USdollar decline

the media is all over item #1
the media has no clue of item #2

GreenSperm is caught in a nasty ghastly smelly box
he is wiggling and writhing, never to fertilize this economy
the only seeds he is sowing are for massive price inflation
it should arrive within 18 months

the Stagflation I see coming will be worse than 1970's
because the debts are higher throughout the entire US
because the dollar is correcting off higher levels
because more foreigners hold USTBonds
because the trade debt is higher
because the Fed infusion response has been greater

energy prices are gonna rise rise rise rise rise
because commodities are cheaper now than at the time of the Great Depression (CPI-adjusted) !!!

history will NOT be kind to GreenSpasm, Rubin, or Clinton
