^^1913 - The meeting on Jekyll Island. :snky:
^ Hadn’t heard yet about the Bernanke. 
Looks like Fry posted some date but this contains most of the budget breakdown and requires less erading(yes american, yes lazy). Fry how dare you bring facts into this debate. pfffft

FACTS! lol
Cool link, what debate?
Oh sorry, conversation.
"The U. S. Constitution is our Supreme Law. It requires a Federal Budget. "
It is cute how they mention that like the US Constitution matters.
Speaking of conversation…where the hell do you guys think all the QE going?
To the banks.
And then into offshore banks accounts. 'MURICA!
For what purpose? Who are they lending to? IMO they don’t seem to need additional injections to black box the paper markets higher.
All their HFT games simply shuffle gains & losses between the different banks it would seem.
Keep in mind last time a butt load of the money went to foreign banks. It makes me chuckle that people think taxing the rich in this country will solve anything while we are sending trillions to banks in other countries.
They shouldn’t have printed trillions but since they did… 8/
Had they kept the money here we would have almost certainly had hyper-inflationz.
Other than that concept I’m curious why others think the Fed keeps printing money? I just don’t understand the point of goosing a money supply to supposedly to boost the economy…but diverting the money out of said economy.
Oh you know why, you just don’t want to post it and get rep for being crazy like me. 
I certainly have my beliefs, I’m trying to withhold them in hopes Cougar will give his input without being dismissive or condescending.
HA! Good luck with that. 
No doubt he holds valuable knowledge, I’ve tried in the past and would someday like to exchange ideas & theories with him. But I’m certainly not looking to stroke anybody’s ego or kiss anybody’s ass, so I won’t hold my breath.
Yeah that dialogue is real inviting.
Seems to me like you guys are the ones needing to grow up a little. For over a year I have said I don’t want to engage you in discussion as I see no personal interest in it. Sure I add some fact here of there and very little opinion as im certainly not interested in economic opinion. Just isn’t interesting to me outside of professional/academic settings. But please for the last time hear me when I say I am not interested so stop bothering me. It has gotten to like a creepy/uncomfortable level and I really mean that. To log on more then once now to find someone out of nowhere just berating me(who I don’t even know!) for not engaging them in econ discussion is straight up creepy. I randomly linked a budget chart recently and this is what I get. Creepy. I had nothing to do with recent conversation so please don’t mention me, don’t insult me, just leave me out of it.
PS - I am making you the first person on my ignore list. Ever.
Whole bunch of sandy vagina in that post :lol:
I hope that wasn’t directed at me, I was only commenting the the condescending part. 
I do value book smarts, my father graduated Ivy League(Wharton) and I value his opinion highly. I also value Ron Paul’s opinion who has a doctorate but, just as importantly I value critical and divergent thinking.
And it makes me chuckle when people claim taxing the rich will have no effect, but savaging the social safety net programs that help the poor will. It’s a two way street.
It was surely directed at me. I wasn’t downplaying book smarts at all, not sure where that got twisted. My feeling is similar to yours, it behooves people to meld book smarts & street smarts. Much of my information comes from books/reading and much comes from swapping what myself & others have personally experienced. That’s all I was trying to do in this thread, I apologize if that came off as “creepy”.
The not wanting to engage for over a year thing is funny because I have a PM prior to that point containing random horn tooting and offering what could probably be considered insider trading information. I didn’t ask for this information nor did I act or trade on it…just to clarify. I personally found the PM awkward, maybe even “creepy” coming from someone who doesn’t know me.
