Asset inflation is pretty cool magic isn't it. It fools a lot of people.

That is . . . until they realize how little their paper dollars are worth.

I have to admit, some data on the Economagic Lie-Server is actually authentic and not heuristic.

Then you demonstrate your lack of economics training. Why, given your ignorance on the subject, are you commenting on these issues and wasting everyone’s time?

I don't think you understand. First of all, this is not an economic forum so there is no need to evaluate posters on economic "book schooling". Furthermore, we clearly have a dichotomy between economic statistics and reality. Not all economic statistics are being interpreted incorrectly... Roach seems to have been right on this time around... but other interpretations such as the employment number waffling is clearly denial. When the government says things are great, and they are clearly NOT great, then it is certainly worthwhile to point out the flaws in the system, unless of course you stand to lose something by admitting reality. Which seems to be the case with you. As far as who is wasting whos time, there is a mechanism to deal with that- the "ignore" feature.
