Mulcair remortgaged home 11 times | Canada | News | Toronto Sun

As an economist, I would be remiss if I did not say that this was very very appropriate and sound financial behaviour. The main purpose of the lowering of interest rates was to increase debt while increasing asset values. Matching the debt load against the increase in value of the asset is very rational and astute behaviour. Not to do it would be very unwise in an economic sense. The real problem was the increase in money supply for supply side economics that do and did not work. Hidden inflation in house prices uncaptured by the consumer price index have led to immiseration growth under recent governments, putting the world economy into the liquidity trap that 'underconsumption' economists have been warning about for centuries. I am surprised by the ignorance shown of economics by Harpers and the Bank of Canada's teams. They lead to a path of under development and backwards economics. Mulcaur seems to understand economics very well for a socialist.

Why the Fed Buried Monetarism by Anatole Kaletsky - Project Syndicate

Trying to understand economic policy and what dictates what should come next is like looking at a black box that should produce gold but instead produces bubble bath froth. It is clear that the Fed lost its understanding of what it was about and that is because too too many American economists were steeped in a nice glossy theory without dept of history that shows the many shades of grey. It would seem the only way to solve the Feds dilemma is to replace all its crazy economists and teach a new crowd how to construct a relevant price index that captures Friedman's original ideas. The American economists deserve a 'D' failure grade because they dud not understand what their professor was saying. So let inflation flip to force interest rates up and your grade falls to an 'F'.

Hmmmm!

Enough is enough... In my view the promotion of guns and gunslinging has historical racist origins and I find it very very offensive ...

If you post such rubbish on Facebook, I will zap you from my friends list after reporting you to Facebook under British and European laws regarding offensive racist materials published on the web ...

You could be charged under such laws and have your travel restricted for the promotion of racist misleading rubbish leading to terrorism ...

Europeans Forget How to Compromise | RealClearWorld

Attitudes are hardening, which makes the date I predicted in 2006 for a major war footing conflagration beginning in 2024 seem all that more likely, but I certainly hope that I am wrong. My forecast was primarily based on the effects of climate change on agricultural production and inability of modern government's to restrain a growing gambling mentality in policy selection along with effects of inflation in land prices and its discontents. None of these issues are been dealt with adequately and apart from Obama most leaderships don't seem to have clue, while he himself is constrained by ignorance and opposition around him ... thwarting needed policy changes on the use of energy, the role of money supply growth and the artificial stock market valuation disjointed from real income growth, and the need to curb hedge funds ..

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
