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!

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 ..

Chances are that you think / assume the China growth thing can go on for ever, the oil pumping thing has no end, the government intervention thing with bailouts is going to continue on.

Perhaps, a reality check is in order?

Why are Harper's Economic Policies an Unmitigated Disaster for Young and New Canadians

Harper's economic policies are in my view an unmitigated disaster over the full run of his term in office. Let me explain because it affects everyone of whatever political persuasion. Its also a direct consequence of George Bush's Economic Legacy in America.

One of the little talked about consequences of the crisis of 2008 is why economies are presently so sluggish, especially those advanced economies such as Canada. My meta analysis comes from years of advising banks and countries on economic issues and examination of what has happened since the financial meltdown and its consequences for Canadians, Brits and Americans. This is country neutral analysis that should be obvious to all, but continues to be an explanation of dynamic forces acting out bad policies in economic management. Its all in the mathematics of how economies work against large segments of their populations.

If you examine a consuming household budget you will see that generally during recessions purchases of large items such as houses and cars are deferred because nominal incomes don't support them. A pick up in the economy occurs when demand for land for housebuilding, housebuilding and homes rises. The pickup should linked in a meaningful way to rises in domestic incomes from salaries, profits and interest. But, what happens when the links are broken. What happens when the value of land bears little or no relationship to the movement of domestic incomes?

Suppose that you are a speculator, condominium builder, high rise constructor, or city home builder and you see the value of your land constant over time. What policies will you urge your central bank to implement? Why does very bad economics result?

What should be obvious to you, but is little talked about?

To be continued ...

President Obama Says GOP Criticism ‘Ridiculous’ | TIME

Interesting reference to the fact of Obama's uncle helping to liberate Buchenwald camp years ago. Having visited the camp several years ago, which is near the very pretty city of Weimar, I wonder at the troops ever finding it. Apparently, the Americans at first when right by to Weimar. The fuller story is interesting. The camp is located in a beautiful forest and well hidden even from locals who would not necessarily know its presence seeing that most of the labour to build and operate the camp's extensive weapons facilities was of captured ally airmen and prisoners of war treated shamelessly to work them to death and torture many to get information about flights etc. the torture rooms looked like dreadful little hovels down dark steel strengthened corridors with no chance for escape. The smoke and smell of burning bodies would be clues, but even these operations were designed to hide the crimes ... One really has to wonder at the morality of the Republicans wasting this opportunity for peace ... as they most certainly will try ...

Arthur Lake in his new Wuh Lax novel "X Marks the Spot"

America as a failed experiment at civilisation and how the British belatedly won the revolutionary war

I tend to think that guns were exciting as a child playing games, and seeing John Wayne fight it out against the horrible natives was obviously a legacy to be maintained within the American shoot em up mentality. But, the advocacy of a gun culture really does mask that America is not very civilized as a community. There is a very real failure of civilising forces to assert what is and should be the right of all American citizens in a country continuously to enjoy life, liberty, and happiness without fear. Unfortunately, the distribution of fire arms is now so rampant in the US within groups that are best described as social misfits or psychologically damaged by stresses of American family or dysfunctional life that there is no real sense in the United States of life, liberty, nor happiness. The myth of happiness in America is almost as great as the myth of the efficacy of capitalism to sort out the needs for jobs, security, and well being. Each generation of Americans sees a new range of authorised weaponry as manufacturers dominate the dialogue and push their lethal goods out the door. This to me is the opposite of civilisation, a form of managed chaos by the arms industry that seriously limits American people and their fuller enjoyment of life, liberty and happiness. The American revolutionary experiment has failed miserably and threatens to spread its distorted sickness about values of peaceful coexistence worldwide. The world would be wise to ignor America's pleas for a distorted view of gun based diplomacy and gun based human rights until it can manage its own house and home, which on average still remain far from happy or civilised. It seems the British really did win the war of independence because America remains forever traumatised and what is obvious to its British neighbours is that the country has no idea of how to maintain a peaceful democracy modelled by the French revolution. Instead a form of tyranny of the powerful remains. By embedding the worst traits of the American failures at life, liberty and happiness, the Americans have deprived themselves of ever as a wholesome community enjoying a full peace and like the knights of old build security castles to live out their lives in fear and self imposed independence. Sure, there will be pockets of civilisation scattered through America, but the sense of universality of civilised community has been subjected to the gun worn by its citizens to protect each other from each other, a form of Hobbsian world without social agreement.

American Odyssey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Netflix

The connection to Greek debt is only partly explained as US blood money of a corrupt American military industrial security complex to fund terrorists that keep arms money flowing back to the States. Theme is that corrupt American security firms create massive debt in Greece that the IMF writes off as blood money. What we must ask is the truth? We know Greece spends well above the world average on defence, but why?

Greece and what former IMF Director DSK regards as the way forward

DSK is back and now he us advising Cuba.

I think everyone has to climb down on Greece as DSK recommends.

One has to feel sorry for the Europeans who got into all this mess because of American bankers and their immoral policies, condoned as acceptable competitive practices in the wars between international banks. These have replaced bullets and explosives, but are just as dangerous. Problem is that they are not well researched and I am not being paid £200k to do that research

In my view, it is American banks that need the hair cut. Young bankers in Europe were stupid / ignorant enough not to understand how exchange rates move constantly and that interest swaps on doubtful property assets are a fools game.

Governments bail out the banks and hand the weakest in their economies the bills of indenture. Its a bit like slavery, but legal and the bakers support the con ...

In addition, the likes of the Glasers and the Kochs still mess everyone up ...

M A R C E L L I S O N | Data- & Photojournalist » On War’s Centrifugality: Paul Watson

Doug Bonesteel,

It would seem that you and Paul have some major things in common. Principles .. Intelligences .. Convictions .. A hatred of bullying .. And a high disregard for foolish decisions.

Don't let the misguided bullies get you down. Within a playpen of missing smarts and brights, you really shine.

If you ever want to meet to explain your frustrations to sympathetic ears, let me know.

I am myself am not prepared to let bullies push me around on issues where corruption is the order of the day or the economics and environment are sacrificed. My memory will be extremely long, my street smarts, and my wits exercised as long as my brain willingly functions.

Thanks,

Arthur

Global Warming, Greece, and International Violence | Evaggelos Vallianatos

Help Greece build a solar future.

Canada should mount a major effort and organised advanced economies a la Lester Pearson to channel surplus funds to assist Southern Europe get rid of its dependence on fossil fuels. Alberta should close down its oil industry and begin invest in environment friendly energy technologies where there is a long term economic future. Justin Trudeau would seem to be the only Canadian capable of such forward thinking leadership, like his father.

Building island sea barriers using its surplus sulphur and limestone from Canada would be a great start to helping countries that will otherwise be flooded. Why do these enormous poisonous mounds of yellow chemical sit unused when they could be of so much value fighting the effects of climate change?

Does government have to do everything? Where is the forward looking Canadian private sector that Harperism has created, ha ha ha ha!?
