The fed can't stop until commodities stop going up and the savings rate stops going down. Regli posted that marx's wet dream is coming true - capitalism has finally went global and the workers of the world about to get the royal global shaft while the capitalists laugh all the way to the insolvent bank! Thier demand for commodoties will be awesome in the interim. Commodoties can only get scarce eh? Jim cramer said there isn't enough copper to deliver all the power the developing world needs. My russian friend said the evildoers in moscow stole all the copper wire from the poles outside to sell in the black market! I figure if we take what copper is left and wrap around tesla's coffin and put some magnets on his spinning corpse inside - free energy for all! Won't need to buy PLUG power then. Real interest rates are still less than 1%, which isn't enough to get Americans to forgo consumption in favor of savings. Trotsky says maybe we are in a generational cycle - we have a generation of people that can only spend - they know no other way - if what you say is true - rates may have to go to volker levels or HIGHER to whack the baby hard enough to get him to wake up - how do all these guys come on CNBC and say rates are finished - how does Joe Kernan not see his daughter maxing out his credit card for a new pair of jeans to add to her collection or buy another copy of "finding nemo" (he complains about this a lot) How does he then not understand she is the very kind of person that is NEVER going to WAKE up without a very hard SMACK across the forehead saying NO! We get 95% of the worlds drugs right - have you ever dealt with a crackhead - you know how hard you have to WHACK them to WAKE up when they crash? - whitney houston has lost a 100 million dollar empire and she still hasn't woke up! I used to ask the guys on sci.econ under my alter ego why brittney was going to buy thier bonds as they retired instead of crack rock - no one ever told me: groups.google.com
