January 1st, 1970 on 12:48 amIf he is so smart about the economy, why didn’t he predict the melt-down? Myopic hindsight with an explanation is hardly helpful at this critical juncture on the edge of the economc abyss.
Citing economic statistics from the height of the Great Depression to compare with the beginning of the Next Great Depression is intentionally misleading, which is a Neocon specialty. It would be moe appropriate to compare the economic statistics of in 1928, when the housing market was strong, unemployment was low, and people were borrowing money 10 cents on the dollar to buy stocks.
If the collapse of the mortgage derivatives market was the only source of economic weakness today, Mr. Stein’s near optimism might be justified. But he ignores the simultaneous collapse of the housing market, the NAFTA-fed growing trade imbalance, and the debt incurred by fighting two wars on two tax cuts and two rebates. Then toss in health care costs that are inflating much faster than any other sector, dependence on foreign oil selling at > $100 a barrel, infrastructure that has been neglected since Reagan told everybody to go screw themselves, and a budget deficit the interest on which would choke even the Republican elephant, and you have an explosive mixture placed around the pillars of the economy that can bring it all down.
The fuse has been lit. Now what are the Neoconmen and the Raging Right going to do about it? Blame Barney Frank for forcing the banks to make loans to the credit-unnworthy? Shake us all down one more time, so that they can transfer their wealth to off-shore accounts and invest in foreign companies less likely to melt down to insulate themselves from the consequences of their greed? You better believe it.
Ben Stein and his ilk want you to stay in the market long enough for them to cash out without catastrophic loss. Believe his sanguine, self-serving fertilizer at your own peril.

January 1st, 1970 on 4:40 amWell I am not sure either candidate can ensure this will happen for America. The president cannot force companies to make smart decisions. ( Hence I would rather them feel the heat a little longer) The question is do we want a free-trade or not??
If we can swallow the regulation we are going to need to fix this (and I hope we can) then we may have to give up our definition of what free-trade is.

No. Government taking complete control of those quasi-private banks will have little effect on interest rates.
It will however have a tremendous impact on the national debt and were further weaken the dollar.

My opinion is yes. Rates are expected, as reported by cnbc, to fall over the next few weeks.
