I don't know when the story will end, but I do know it doesn't have a happy ending when it does.
Prepare accordingly. |

Why is the left so in love with the federal reserve? We do not need to raise the debt limit. We need to demand the fed forgive the debt it bought, with our money that it printed and gave itself, and stop paying interest on our current debt to the fed, with our money that they printed and lent out. After all it is our money, not the feds. This would free up tons of money and hold us over until we can actually cut the budget and balance the budget.
Edit: Just so you know I am not calling Buffett a leftist, I know he is on the right.

The rich already pay too much, it's time for the poor to get off their lazy fat asses and do some work and pay some taxes.

'"We had debt at 120 percent of the GDP, far higher than this, after World War II and no one went around threatening that we're going to ruin the credit of the United States or something in order to get a better balance of debt to GDP."'

We can demand all that we want... the "Federal" reserve is not a part of our government.. people talk about overhauling it or doing this or that with it all of the time, but, you can't do it and neither can our government. It's NOT ours. It is privately owned. If you can manage to find out who owns and controls it (forget about it - all you see is their stand up media boys) you might ask them VERY nicely... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_War |

Hard to compare. Morale was completely different and they didn't have massive pensions due with Social Security money running short.

Where are the jobs mister boehner? You promised that the republicans took over the leadership because the people wanted someone to bring some jobs back. Where are they? Oh more tax cuts will create jobs? Please tell us how many jobs were created since the time the bush tax cuts went into effect. Oh, zero? Oh. Well show me how many job creating bills you've put forward. Oh, zero? You're fired.

here is a great animated short about the federal reserve produced by none other than John Stagliano. Does a good job of explaining why things are going to shit now...

2. If we don't raise the debt ceiling we go into default? Is anyone paying attention to this? We need to raise the debt ceiling to borrow money to pay our debt? Jesus folks, this has become insanity! We're doomed. |

So, your comments aren't a rebuttal to the OPs point. When the republicans are back in power, this model predicts, they will again raise the debt limit under their watch, as they did before. Re: 2 - I'm not sure this argument makes a lot of sense. I think you may be conflating Greece with the US. I could be worng, but as I understood it, we want to borrow operations money, not money to pay off the debt - altho one could say the two are linked, we aren't talking about that kind of default. Perhaps you can point to references about what the borrowed money would be used for? |

Let's look at the 2010 budget as an example. Total Revenue $2.381 trillion "Sacred Cow" Expenditures $695 billion ? Social Security $664 billion ? Department of Defense $453 billion ? Medicare $290 billion ? Medicaid $164 billion ? Interest on National Debt TOTAL $2.266 trillion ALL OTHER EXPENDATURES TOTAL $1.286 trillion Now interest on the debt HAS to be paid you can't cut that. Social Security, Defense, Medicaid/Medicare are considered "sacred cows". So if you don't cut those and if you don't raise revenues( aka TAXES ) then you have to cut EVERYTHING else by 91% just to get a balanced budget. But wait, balancing the budget doesn't lower our $14 trillion deficit it just stops it form getting bigger. Even if you cut the remaining 9% from those other programs that only lowers the deficit by $115 billion a year. So that would take 122 years to pay off the deficit. Even if you additionally cut, Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare and the DOD budgets by 20% you're still talking 26 years before the debt is paid off. Now who here wants Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Defense cut by 20% and everything else cut by 100% for the next 26 years? Not me. |

A) If everyone waits on everyone else to start hiring then NO ONE is going to hire anyone. B) The economy will pick up as soon as these morons start to hire people because then they will have money to SPEND which will get the economy going. Also these business people said they are waiting for the government to do something about jobs. Um THEY are the ones that do something about jobs by HIRING people. This isn't fucking rocket science. It's pretty simple stuff. |

Anyway what I wanted to say that I liked your reply for a few reasons. The first is that I read it while drinking home brewed wind from a moustached rig driver from Harrison Hot Spring (shout out to the Shemp here) plus I came to this thread because of a need for a change from reading business ones and clicked on it in a way that I (the royal "I" as in being a member of a community of clickers)... that I (?) sorry I'm watching an old episode of Ultimate Big Brother UK while typing. The point is that there's the same system in all countries (to a varying degree) and it sucks to think about having an entity (non-governmental though doesn't need to be) institution making bank off of interest from a product that was just created on a whim. TBC. Continued. That was only a sec I just didn't feel like starting another post just to whine about some dudes that have a hell of a deal when in reality I wish I could pull off the same scam ![]() P.S. I didn't re-read what I typed but after recalling my semi-relex arc finger movements I have to put a plea out to all "frothing at the mouth conservatives" to not insta-quote and type a flame. ![]() ![]() ![]() P.P.S. K type away I'm hitting send now and watching who got booted out of BB. |

k I just thought of this! Now bear with me, the US (as far as I can tell from what I've read and not what I've watched) was and has been build from recovering from adversity. First you had the Brits (we still do in a parliamentary minimal way), then you had the abolishionists, then you had the Spanish, then you had the Haitians (non-reported/discussed military trauma), then you had the comunists, then you had the Vietnamiese (not sure if I can label them as the same socialists that threatened 1930's America), then you had the [insert asshole that didn't do as we you said from the 80's), followed by of course the leader of Iraq, which was followed again (and excuse the run on sentence) the leader of Iraq, 'till now which seems to comprise a collection of assholes spread all over the non-free trade world (excuse the ending of that sentence I had no other way of describing it without sounding like an Air America fanboy).
As far as I can tell your country has become the better after each and every threat. And <--- yes this sentence required beginning with a conjunction -- after each and every struggle your country had become better! Yeah!!! The bonus is that everytime this even of importance has occured Canada has benefited ![]() |

That being said, obama is doing nothing different. he tows the corporate line like everyone else, which is what has destroyed the u.s. if obama really wanted change he would rescind NAFTA and all NAFTA-like programs and bring all factories back to the u.s. and he would dismantle the federal reserve. then your corporate buddies would have to pay real wages and make real money like everyone else, not get their asses bailed out by the govt (read:taxpayers) everytime there's a crisis.

All the rhetoric, all the political grandstanding — just how good will business be if there is a US Government default on paying out operating expense and debt interest payments? Hopefully, these grandstanding gestures will come to a halt soon ... |

Many of my big business friends, bigger than you can imagine, who voted for Obama, have said they have no confidence in what he has done and they feel that Obama's policies have stalled the economy.[/QUOTE] BS. Just fucking hire people this will cause two things A) Unemployment will drop. FEWER people on welfare and foodtsamps which means a LOWER deficit. B) People will have money to spend. Consumer spending is 70% of the economy. Thus the economy will improve. No Obamas policies have NOT stalled the economy the lack of JOBS have and business control that. Hire baby hire! Also the "more than I need" comment. I don't know about you but going into my local wal-mart shelves are bare( because lack of stockers ) and I see 3 cash registers open even though they have 17 thus creating long lines. because of this many people like me rather pay a little extra and go to places like Fred's and Dollar Store because they have what we want and it doesn't take all day just to get a couple of things. And of course genius wal-mart solution is to cut back hours and not replacing people who quit/get fired, which is what caused the issues that caused me to not shop there as much in the first place. So naturally let's make that situation worse. |

http://crfb.org/blogs/swiss-version-...dget-amendment
Zurbruegg explained how the Swiss debt brake works. After years of rising deficits and debt in the 1990s, Switzerland's citizens adopted the debt brake as a constitutional amendment in 2001 (with 85% approval!) The rule was to be implemented starting in 2003. It stated that each year, the budget must be in balance, adjusted for economic conditions. They do this adjustment by multiplying expenditures by a cyclical factor (the ratio of trend real GDP to expected real GDP), thus either allowing for deficits during recessions or forcing lawmakers to have surpluses during booms. Essentially, the rule calls for structural balance in each year and absolute balance over the course of a business cycle. So if lawmakers want to have expansionary fiscal policy during recessions, they need to pay for it by saving up during good economic times. The rule did initially allow for "extraordinary spending" if a qualified parliamentary majority approved, but recent changes have made this spending count as normal expenditures. In practice, there is obviously limited experience to pull from, but it has worked out well so far, according to Zurbruegg. Upon finding out that the Swiss budget had structural imbalances in 2003, lawmakers undertook a three year plan to put the budget back in balance (and in surplus). Using the surplus from the good years, they were able to weather the economic downturn without resorting to using any emergency spending. Zurbruegg though did express some concern that lawmakers were so focused on abiding by the debt brake that they risked ignoring their longer term fiscal challenges. Carlo Cottarelli then gave the criteria for a good design for a fiscal goal/rule. He said that it should have the following: broad coverage (not excluding any category of the budget); transparency, like in the form of an independent fiscal agency; constitutional power if possible, so lawmakers can't just change it whenever convenient; flexibility for economic conditions; and finally, a mechanism for enforcement. Certainly, the debt brake measures up well to these criteria. Overall, our own lawmakers could learn a lot from the Swiss example. They designed a budget rule that neatly walks the tightrope between too rigid and too soft. In doing so, they made a rule that wasn't so hard to follow that lawmakers tried to ignore it, and one that wasn't too easy to find a way around. It will be interesting to see how the debt brake works out for Switzerland in the future. |

You can't really compare the two, it just isn't possible. Corps are sitting on trillions of dollars. Jobs create money flow, which creates more demand for products and services, which means you're not hiring more than you need, when the demand is being created by people having jobs. The term evil corp refers to greed. Corps today have the same rights as people without any of the legal ramifications. As well, they were originally only allowed IF they helped the people, they were limited on allowed profits, they could not buy property, each owner was directly responsible for everything - personally, and all were limited to the exact business the corp was created for - often with a time limit put in place. All of which, and much more, is why they are refereed to as evil corps today - that's before the fact that they know control our Gov.

If demand is being met now, why would they hire? To start the process you are talking about you have to HIRE MORE than you need. What would that do to their profits and their stock? Have you hired more people than you needed to do your part to help the economy?

They were making trillions and laying people off... to make more money. Now that the eco has stalled on them, they have the cash, but nobody to buy. Nothing is stopping them from creating jobs, the gov doesn't stop them... and uncertainty? Less staff equals more profits, which overall has created less buying power, thus increased costs of good, increasing the overall gross profits, thus stock values go up, and they make more money, without selling a damn thing more. That's how greed works. If I had a few trillion dollars, yeah I might open a few extra companies, try my hand in a few new markets, expand my current business, improve my production, hire better staff, train them more, etc, etc, etc... oh wait, that is what I do now, I don't really need a few trillion to do that. My peak is 26 staff, my average is about 10, and between my two companies I have roughly that many on staff today, and I'm sure I could get rid of one or two, but we're actually looking to expand into more cities, so not hiring, isn't going to make my business grow - at all. It's rather simple how it works.

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth and trying to have it all ways. You said if they hired they would make more money, but claim they are doing the opposite to make money. Why would corps fire people when they could make more money hiring people? Because hiring non productive people does not make you money, your stock holders (401k people, you know the middle class) money and does not bring a profit. And government regulations, new laws, new restrictions and threats of new laws and restrictions sure as hell does slow job growth and create uncertainty.

This actually ties in well with the excellent Federal Reserve video previously posted in this thread...

My company's goals aren't to make my stock values look pretty for investors I don't have. Clearly your understanding of business is limited to the very small business structure or you wouldn't ever ask those questions. We have regulations because of problems, because of greed. The sad part is, greed knows no boundaries and simply modifies itself based on the regulations. But no regs, for damn sure, is not a good thing and damn sure, does not mean the free market will work itself out, we have plenty of history to prove that. Another words, it's not a one way door.
