1.8% qtr-over-qtr GDP growth is hardly booming defense still dominating as long as we are in a war, two things are gauranteed 1. defense spending will make the economy look stronger than it is 2. federal deficits will take us closer to the critical tipping point where rates will rise Roach puts it best when he says we are in a tough battle of strong stimulus pushing cyclicals to overcome weak structurals the only trouble is that the cycle has been transformed case in point: labor outsourcing I believe we have a tepid cyclical push going on the chief beneficiary is China and India, where jobs are being created the labor outsourcing has entered a dangerous new era whereby high-skilled service jobs are exiting the nation why not? no health benefit issues with China and India AMERICA HAS PRICED ITSELF OUT OF THE WORLD ECONOMY dollar, taxes, health, labor, environment today Challenger & Gray labor report underscores the point Oct figures show 125% increase in layoffs total of 174,000 layoffs announced totally contradicts any 7% GDP nonsense number you are in good shape if you work for a defense contractor or speak Chinese Americans are starting to disbelieve in USGovt numbers if reflation efforts succeed in every area but profit margins, household budgets, and wages, then what have we gained ??? this is exactly what I expect to happen shrinking corp profits, eroding household discretionary budgets, and declining real wages / jim
