yep...the govt. control over the media, or rather the govt./media complicity reminds one of the Soviets in their hey-day, only that it's a lot more subtle. btw, there is NO danger of the economy overheating, as MB explains so succinctly in his latest write-up. if you back out the chained dollar lies about PC's, you can actually subtract 3/4 of GDP growth and productivity gains from the past few years of economic performance. the bond imo merely reflects the fact that credit demand is going totally overboard. in all likelihood we will get a deflationary collapse after all. i'm actually a proponent of the cyclical inflation up-tick theory, but who knows, considering the market's reaction to today's jobs data it becomes clear that the main fear undercurrent is once again deflation, not inflation (even though the media say otherwise). in fact the authorities seem to be busy fostering an inflation mentality, as that keeps the consumer spending. if the govt. is acting that way, something's fishy.
