    Re. dollar valuation: What makes anybody think free market principles apply to trade anymore? It hasn’t applied for years in most countries.

      Nov 03, 2018 03:46 AM

      You make a very interesting point. CPA continues to bring our their points in an effort to improve the situation in America. They seem to be headed in the right direction judging by its membership and its continued action.

    International trade is the most controlled and most manipulated for political reasons.

      Nov 03, 2018 03:48 AM

      I believe that the control and manipulation if nothing more than a quest for power and that will never go away.

    Was listening to the pre-election podcast of Deep State Radio (deepstateradionetwork.com) yesterday but Democrats do face an interesting conundrum. Republicans keep the House and it is Trump unbound, Democrats win and the resulting paralysis (Trump won’t reach out of course) with an economic downturn when the irresponsible tax cuts run out will virtually guarantee his reelection.

      AJ, do you really believe the US is under-taxed or taxed correctly?
      What level of taxation do you think would be correct as a percentage of GDP?

        CFS
        Nov 03, 2018 03:12 AM

        US taxes its citizens, at the federal level, about 30% more than China, 20% more than in India.
        Germany and most European countries tax at a higher rate, but they have medical care, welfare and housing programs, which the US does not have.

          Nov 03, 2018 03:12 AM

          Just remember, no matter how high taxes are they are never high enough…

            Nov 03, 2018 03:00 PM

            Of course Eddy, Does any individual ever think that he or she has enough money. I often ask myself that question and, honestly speaking it is difficult to ever feel content in that area.

          Nov 03, 2018 03:58 AM

          As you bring out very effectively in your comment, the taxation system in the U.S. is very inefficient. I ,ask you to consider the quality of life in China and India as compared to America, Germany the other European countries and Canada. That throws a bit of a different light on the question.

        Nov 03, 2018 03:11 AM

        Speaking of taxes, how did you vote on Prop 6, CFS?

        Did you vote for Gabby Nuisance for governor?

        Nov 03, 2018 03:52 AM

        i would like to weigh in on this one, CFS.

        It is not a question of under or over taxed it is the much bigger question of over-spending.

      Nov 03, 2018 03:51 AM

      AJ,

      That is an interesting point which I happen to agree with.

      I had never listened to “Deep State Radio” and I now will become more familiar with it and reach out to it as perhaps we can accomplish more by supporting eachother.

    Much of the world so hates the US (rightly or wrongly) that a change in price, via dropping the dollar, would not alter trade very much. Much trade occurs because there is no alternative but to buy US product. e.g. in oil, food, high technology, software.
    Think about UN voting…..the US has problems getting any vote in favor of a US position without leaning on some countries.

      Nov 03, 2018 03:06 PM

      I never focused on the issue of other nations hating the U.S., but, you know, come to think about it that seems to be true unless people want something from us without working for it as most Americans do. Consider illegal immigration.

    On the other hand, John Mauldin writes:
    “Our current prosperity is built on an explosion of debt; it is therefore unsustainable. The US added roughly $1.3 trillion of GDP in the fiscal year that ended in September but also added $1.271 trillion of debt. Interest rates, while still running well below real-world inflation, are rising in a heavily leveraged economy. The $1.271 trillion increase in federal debt was nearly $500 billion or 39% higher than the official annual deficit of only $779 billion, which means that politicians are keeping significant amounts of debt off-balance sheet. I don’t know who they think they’re fooling, but they aren’t going to be able to keep this con game running much longer. Over the past five years, the official deficit was reported as $2.977 trillion whereas the federal deficit grew by $4.777 trillion, meaning that 38% of the actual shortfall was hidden by our feckless leaders. And all of these figures do not include trillions of more dollars of off-balance sheet entitlement obligations promised by the government to future retirees and other voters.”

      Nov 03, 2018 03:24 AM

      THE DEBT will NEVER BE PAID……..that is the game of the FEDSTERS…….

        Nov 03, 2018 03:12 AM

        Claw back the missing $21 trillion…

        Nov 03, 2018 03:09 PM

        I believe that it will never be paid because total repayment is a fiscal impossibility.

          Nov 04, 2018 04:55 AM

          Ditto……..on the “fiscal impossibility” …….
          Further , the Current, borrowing will not be paid by the current generation, ….
          the current generation, is just merely, passing the “loan” onto the next generation….
          Some people believe the debt always gets paid…….by the lender or borrower(should be current borrower)……merely , shifting the obligation to the unborn, is not a repayment of one’s debt……….

          Nov 04, 2018 04:00 AM

          Ditto……….
          Passing a debt on to future generations is not a REPAYMENT , of a Debt……

          All debt gets paid. If not by the borrower then by the lender.

      Nov 03, 2018 03:25 AM

      What was John M’s first clue…………lol

        Nov 03, 2018 03:53 AM

        His first clue ought to be the numbers from his lying piece of shiite gooberment, such as the bogus inflation numbers from the Bureau of Liar Statistics.

        Today I noticed in the store orange juice now comes in 52 oz containers! First it was a half gallon like milk. Then they shaved it down to 59 oz and now 52 oz. Of course, they didn’t shave the price. In fact, it’s more. You pay more and get less. The incredible shrinking packaging…they think no one will notice.

          Nov 03, 2018 03:11 PM

          Come to think of it you are correct. Now that I do more of the shopping, I believe that I have noticed it.

            Nov 03, 2018 03:52 PM

            I’ve noticed it so many items I can no longer keep track. Orange juice, coffee, frozen vegetables just to name a few.

            See the movie Private ryan? check the size of the chocolate bar givin to the dutch kid.

            Its not really the smaller size that I dont like, its the lower quality of the….chocolate bars.

            Nov 03, 2018 03:23 PM

            Well, up until a few years ago orange juice containers were always sized the same as milk containers and that was always pint, quart, half gallon and gallon.

      Nov 03, 2018 03:07 PM

      Mr. Mauldin makes a very good point that most of us are aware of. I appreciate his continued reminers.

      And so next Tuesday we have the choice between a corrupt party and a clueless party; the choice between a party that overspends and one that overspends more; a party whose politicians lie and another party whose politicians lie even more.

          Nov 03, 2018 03:51 PM

          I have been back in California about a week.
          It has been most interesting to be visited by numerous politicians seeking my vote.
          By feigning lack of knowledge on various issues, I was able to elucidate one common factor between the politicians, regardless of party…….they are surprisingly ignorant.

          Perhaps I read and retain too much data in memory, but there is something wrong about a political system that allows anyone of sufficient age to run for office, and requires no test of intelligence, ability or honesty.

          Our Founding Fathers seem to have had much greater knowledge and intelligence than current politicians. Why is the US education system failing so badly?
          Modern living is so much easier than 200 years ago, but . . . , ?????

          No visiting person seems proud of his party affiliation enough to declare it openly up front.
          Look at the signs displayed as you travel around. They are red, white and blue and rarely have a mention of party.

            Nov 03, 2018 03:31 PM

            …they are surprisingly ignorant.

            Does that mean you are not voting for Gabby Nuisance? 🙂

            Heck CFS, you are ten times smarter than any of those politicians even though you only have half a brain.

            Nov 03, 2018 03:32 PM

            No disrespect intended. As I recall you said you suffered brain damage and lost half your processing power.

            Nov 03, 2018 03:32 PM

            What do you think of Prop 6? What did you think of SB1.

            Nov 03, 2018 03:37 PM

            I lost 20-25% of my brain due to a tumor.
            All left-half side signal processing for both eyes. (I have 50% vision in both eyes)
            The damage came close to speech and balance, but my brain took a year to re-wire most of that.
            Speech and balance problems now show up only when I’m tired.
            I know I lost I.Q., but not how much.
            I consider myself extremely lucky from 6 months projected life expectancy 14 years ago to be still able to travel the world. Going to Australia/New Zealand in February.

            “Not luck at all, CFS, BUT THE LOVE & Grace of a compassionate Father God”

            I do not anthropomorphise God, but even if I did, that above statement is pure B.S. unless it caused my character and worth to fellow man to improve.
            Since I believe it has not, then your “compassionate Father God” made a mistake. i.e. is fallible.
            By what possible logic is your God male?
            If he was, indeed, compassionate, then he would have stopped the cancer from growing in my brain from the start.
            Instead the disease merely consumed resources and diminished my abilities.
            How could that be good?
            There were six people, including myself, having had similar operations in the mental hospital period of my recovery.
            I have survived all of those now by a decade. Why?
            (Except my neurosurgeon team was the best I could buy and insurance was not involved.)

            Nov 05, 2018 05:06 PM

            CFS, being so immersed in the medical community, I have learned that longevity is based on a lot of things and that perhaps the most important is the “luck of the draw”

            When one makes this issue non secular, it helps believers because they are convinced being “in the loving arms of God, is significantly better than remaining in a negative secular situation. Hard to argue with that from the standpoint of the believer.

            Nov 04, 2018 04:02 PM

          Even the title was utter crap. Biased or not the Gateway Pundit provokes a credibility problem.

          Last time I looked, he had fulfilled about 30%
          (That is actually a great and remarkable (politically atypical) record.)
          Many not kept, were not due to his inability, but that of Congress to agree and act.

    People who say “the debt will never get paid” annoy me.
    Debt always gets “paid”.
    When a Government “borrows” money, it either pays the debt/bond-holder or defaults.
    i.e. on maturity, the government pays or the debt-holder “pays”, but the bonds cease to exist.

    Have you ever wondered why Democrats are paranoid over Planned Parenthood?
    You probably thought it was altruistic considerations of mothers-to-be health and safety….

    Or is it more corrupt self interest?

    Planned Parenthood, mostly tax-payer funded, makes political contributions in the tens of millions of dollars. Surprise, surprise back to the Democratic Party.
    (Isn’t this a neat trick to get tax-payers to involuntarily fund a political party?)

    And you think it is not possible to find areas where government spending could be cut?

      Nov 04, 2018 04:09 PM

      This link says it all: If the NRA owns Republicans, Planned Parenthood owns the Democrats

        Nov 04, 2018 04:32 PM

    Did you know HHS and USAID both fund International Planned Parenthood and USAID funds International Stopes foundation?
    Looking for areas to cut government spending?
    Why are we funding organizations that reduce government spending for international competitors and do not benefit the US?

    Government bureaucracy, once established, is hardly ever cut.

      Maybe true, but Fox continues to report from a much different angle.

      Nov 04, 2018 04:16 AM

      The polls are not really reliable as has been the track record. The press is so hateful and is out to destroy the Republican Party that many people really do remain in the closet about who they really support. This is a sad state of affairs that people are actually afraid to even display a TRUMP sticker because of threats and violence, which are escalating. When a police officer rams a car intentionally simply because they had a TRUMP sticker, this is a warning sign of what is really coming from here into 2021.

      Ironically, a Democratic win in the House will be taken as EXTREMELY bearish for the economic future of not just the United States, but the entire world. Nevertheless, that may actually end up being just another reason capital flees the bonds and moves with greater intensity into private assets. The worse it may appear, the more bullish it may be for the capital shift.

    Uranium One: FBI Refuses To Release Three-Dozen Secret Memos Involving Clintons, Russia And Obama

    10/02/2018

    “The FBI has refused to declassify 37 pages of materials related to the Uranium One deal, citing national security and the privacy issues, reports The Hill’s John Solomon. The documents are thought to contain information regarding then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s involvement, as well as the Obama administration’s knowledge of the controversial deal.”

    “The existence of the documents became known after a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release of related material contained an entry entitled “Uranium One Transaction.” The publicly available portion includes benign material, such as public letters from members of Congress who demanded information on the Uranium One approval. ”

        yeah, I said that when this all surfaced again last year, that it was a day late and dollar short, and we’d never put the people behind bars that deserve it.

        Instead, I’ve been focused on buying up shares of Anfield Energy (who acquired many of Uranium One’s US Uranium and Vanadium assets and access to mills and resin facilities). 🙂

It is interesting how this particular transaction highlights the lunacy and transgressions of the deep state, and crony capitalism, and how rare it is to stop things as they are happening, but to reflect back on them years later and realize what a mess we are left with. Looking forward to better solutions and more awareness around similar issues moving into the future.

      I think JP does so to educate the people that are most opposed to his viewpoint. If one is trying to change minds, what better way than to engage those who have more-or-less bought into the neo-marxist ideologies. I think is is fantastic…if you watch some of the dialogues he has had with students on college campuses makes one lament at how far this generation has devolved and slumbers in some of the BS being promulgated. JP knocks the ball out of the park almost everytime. Take a look at his talk to Harvard students…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqi0jHn_7-I&t=12s

    JP seems good on gender issues, but big-picture clueless. Couldn’t watch the vid cuz I’m in the boonies, weak connection.

      Western civilization is being destroyed between the hammer of Zionism and the anvil of Marxism. Or is that vice versa? Either way they both come from the same cult/mafia.

        They (Zionism and Marxism) do have many levels of correlation and I agree that JP steers clear of that. A most pernicious aspect of both is that adherents normally really believe they or their movement is the savior for the people…until so many of the people being “saved” are murdered for “greater good.” Seems to happen over and over again.

          What I said notwithstanding, I agree that what he does, as far as it goes, is great. It’s not easy to try to dialogue with and contradict the views of fanatics.

        You are correct, GH, but the hammer IS the anvil.
        JP is not clear on a lot of things including economics or even what the Right really is (as opposed to what we’re told it is by the leftists who run everything).

    Is this a political or religious speech?
