Richnorth,
"...is believable? US economy grew..." (or) That saying "The fall
is not what hurts, its that sudden stop when you hit the floor."
American's can believe whatever makes them feel good and safe,
and since the United States is THE super power on planet Earth,
American's can pump-up themselves with that sandwhich or hamburger-man
of an 1940s-1950s cartoon i remember seeing on black&white t.v.
when i was a child where this portly man would always try and borrow
from friends money to buy more hamburg eats with an "I'll pay you
back tomorrow." yes, but it seemed each tomorrow he spent all his cash
and still wanted more burgers to eat and asked for more money from friends
with that "Pay you back tomorrow." to happen it seemed each day after day
without any day him paying back anyone. (or) Today's America eats
and eats on credit card after credit cards playing musicial chairs.
"...is believable? US economy grew..." Yes in that this cartoon man
each day grew from all those burgers with Russ's pepperjack cheese
and a tomatoe to make it into a health food :o) so yes it's believable,
or better put USA's growth charged to a credit card soon to be max'ed out
with that vicious circle of having no more credit, no more buying,
no more jobs from no more buying companies product, with the only "feeding"
being that where one feeds upon oneself until one only has a mouth
and teeth left with nothing left to feed into it. Now i'am of a nature to learn
and then discard learn'ed stuff, for example inflation, deflation
and that stagflation to describe an economy out of correctness,
so what will happen if an recession into a deep depression occures
and folks lose jobs and savings and crushes the USA economy,
what happens when no one has savings or income to buy buy buy
and at the same time all those US dollars Fed Greenspam pumped out
still exist someplace not in outer space ?
or,
trying to make sense out of nonsense
Gata Bill's Cafe has had a ton of articles on money creation,
and everyone has a story different
except for the ending
while each ending was different
the nature of the_end was the same
bad moon a'raising on the usa
a.k.a. planet earth does a crash & burn
and unlike those of the past
clubs, bow & arrow, small arms
this time
weapons of nuke, chem, bio
here there everywhere
as
rule of law replaced with rule of force
or
glad i have no children
