y mention 1982 - do you know when AG started to meddle in issues of monetary policy? may be, there y will find the reason. His policies were copied the world over and as long as people believe in fiat money and relate to it as money the ponzi scheme will continue. (aside do not ignore 1987 it was a big event but the governments learned how to re- engineer a rally same also with the Asian Debacle and LTCM)

Clinton and R. Rubin only perfected the game with the tackling of how we count inflation, quality of goods, owner rent adjusted component, core inflation and all the other adjustments which enable the government to print money almost at will and then take it back in the form of taxes if capital gains or taxing business profits or any profit which are not adjusted to true inflation.

Result - plenty of liquidity add to this substantial increase in money velocity and bingo y have the perfect alchemist formula for fiat money who most people believe is "real money"

Yes. Also incredible how much spin on a housing bottom is now out there. You think if housing was really at a bottom and the mafia thought the assets were now dirt cheap they'd be telling you, me and Joe6pack? All part of the game to keep folks confident in the economy and to suck the retail investor back in the stock market.
