Paul Craig Roberts: Are Americans Too Insouciant To Survive?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/12/2016 - 22:05 Superpower America required a more dangerous enemy than a few lightly armed jihadists, so the “Russian threat” was created.

Is This Debt's Last Rattle?

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/12/2016 - 21:15 What we see happening today is the last gasps of a broken system ravished by the very much cancer-like progress of debt. Yes, it took longer than it should have, and than we thought. But that’s pretty much irrelevant, unless you were trying to get rich off of the downfall of your own world. Always a noble goal. There’s one reason for the delay only: central bank hubris. And now the entire shebang is falling to bits. That this would proceed in chaotic ways was always a given. People don’t know where to look first or last, neither central bankers nor investors nor anyone else.

America's Corrupt Media – How Reporters Took Direct Orders From Hillary's Staff

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/12/2016 - 20:45 "A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier." If you really want to know how weak Hillary Clinton is as a candidate, you merely have to appreciate that the U.S. media essentially acts as her own personal PR firm, yet the public still recognizes her as a dishonest crook.

Baby Boomers Are Drowning In Loans: Debt Of Average 67-Year-Old Soared 169% In Past 12 Years

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/12/2016 - 18:44 Americans in their 50s, 60s and 70s - the Baby Boom generation - are carrying unprecedented amounts of debt, a shift which according to the WSJ "reflects both the aging of the baby boomer generation and their greater likelihood of retaining mortgage, auto and student debt at much later ages than previous generations."

Banks Tank: Wall Street Is Keeping Too Many Secrets for Its Own Good

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall Street on Parade:
Starting last July, the share prices of the biggest banks on Wall Street have been on a steady downward trajectory. That trend heated up yesterday with Citigroup and Bank of America both dropping over 6 percent by the close of trading. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were down by over 4 percent. All four of the banks set new 12-month lows in intraday trading.
A strong argument can be made that much of the public’s lack of confidence in these complex banking and gambling behemoths is a result of the dark curtain that has been drawn around their operations. Evidence is piling up that government regulators of Wall Street no longer see themselves as the protectors of the people but as the protectors of Wall Street’s secrets.

Sanders: Government Has a ‘Moral Responsibility’ to Guarantee ‘A Decent Standard of Living’ for Everyone

by Susan Jones, CNSnews:
PBS debate moderator Judy Woodruff asked socialist Bernie Sanders Thursday night, “How big would government be,” if Sanders gets the chance to do everything he’s promising to do.
Sanders said he would guarantee health care to all people; make public colleges and universities tuition-free; and spend trillion dollars rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure.
As for the size of a Sanders government, “Of course there will be a limit,” he said. “But when today you have massive levels of income and wealth inequality, when the middle class is disappearing, you have the highest rate of child poverty of almost any major country on Earth — yes, in my view, the government of a democratic society has a moral responsibility to play a vital role in making sure all of our people have a decent standard of living.”

And it may be time to think about the possibilities, if you haven’t already.

The US Is Already in a Recession; Get Ready for Some Crazy Monetary Policy

from Lew Rockwell:
Jim Grant appeared on CNBC’s Closing Bell and unhesitatingly said he thinks the US economy has already gone into recession:
I think we are in one…I think there’s a defensible case to be made that a recession began late last year.”
Grant echoed what Peter Schiff has been saying. In his Gold Videocast last week, Peter also said he thinks the recession started last year:
I believe eventually the government will acknowledge that this greater recession began in the fourth quarter of 2015, the very quarter that the Fed chose to raise interest rates.”
