Mish: One of your best rants. You hit the nail on the head. One question. How do you see regulation of the rating agencies relating to the problem. Frankly, I was unaware that they were rated. Am I wrong. lj

What is going on here??? Message 25605695 From: SliderOnTheBlack 4/29/2009 8:12:34 AM 4 Recommendations Read Replies (1) of 17099 "Obama & Feds Knew NYC Flyover Would Cause Panic" wcbstv.com FAA Memo: Feds Knew NYC Flyover Would Cause Panic Threatened Federal Sanctions Against NYPD, Secret Service, FBI & Mayor's Office If Secret Ever Got Out... If you don't think this came down from the oval office, there's a bridge for sale in Brooklyn you might want to check out. "... they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor's office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out." Who has the power & authority to demand total secrecy from the FBI, and the Secret Service? Clue: He works in a little round office in a big white house. Amazing symbolism during this historic transfer of wealth and power... Kissinger & Sir Evelyn de Rothschild taking coup` on the floor of the NYSE after looting it...and now Air Force One buzzing The Statue Of Liberty and Wall Street, causing mass panic and fear. Any further questions as to who's in charge Wall Street? Or, do you need another reminder?

Listen to first five minutes. Unbelievable if it is true. contraryinvestorscafe.com To: SliderOnTheBlack who wrote (17090) 4/29/2009 9:01:36 AM From: Jillad 3 Recommendations Read Replies (1) of 17100 It is amazing that two weeks ago approximately 1 million American's were shouting "Fire the Feds" and engaged in peaceful Tea Party demonstrations across the country. Now millions of American's across the country are crying to the Fed to save them from the Swine Flu. It makes me wonder why the mainstream media is pumping this so hard. What is really going on? Why this distraction?

Sorry, but your post is total nonsense. . Greenspan's refusal to enforce "prudent banking ratios and standards" is the very heart of our problems. When banks can operate with their own preferred capital ratios, rather than with enforced prudent banking ratios, credit expansions drive interest rates down, instead of driving them up as naive students of supply and demand would expect. Ignoring prudent banking ratios and standards may or may not be libertarian, but inquiring minds will discover that many hundreds of years of banking history have show it to be the direct route to banking system failures. The person who believes banks can operate in a "free-market manner" without regulations to restrain irresponsible behavior is the same person who believes all laws should be eliminated because the free-market will eliminate crime and bad personal behavior. This is the sort of belief system held by spoiled children with no real world experience. Greenspan's shocking lack of interference in bank behavior is the cause, not a bold new road to a cure. Market rates for money, over the short-term - such as half of a human lifetime, exist only when banking capital standards are enforced. In the long-run we're all dead. And that's a sorry period to wait in order to be an ideologically pure spoiled child. .
