    I agree. Banks don't know what to do with all the cash they have. They certainly don't seem to be lending it with much vigor (and I don't blame them).

    As I was reading the pages of this thread I thought I was going to come across a well thought out response to Jordan telling him point by point why he is and has always been dead wrong with his predictions of the US economy and where its heading. Didnt find that and im too lazy to write one myself.

    I think that's Steven Douglas's specialty and he's probably tired of Jordan's threads.

    They are most certainly lending it, to qualified borrowers. And at cheap rates, too.

    A buy the thesis in the OP. Through no fault of his own, Obama is about to preside over a period of economic growth.

    So, where has Jordan been wrong? Can you point me to anything he said that is unsubstantiated?

    FED Money Printing Boom?

    75,000 pages of IRS Tax Boom?

    Obama's gazillion taxes and fees Boom?

    Artificial Propping up of Banks, Markets and Treasuries Boom?

    You'll die before you see that. Hasn't happened in any thread before. Just rolled eyes, -rep, and conspiracy theories.

    NO NO NEGATIVE REP NO PLEASE. No seriously though this rep thing takes forever to build up dont mess up my game. Im sorry your annoyingly positive and optimistic views about everything from economic trends, the weather, movie reviews (We get it Life of Pi was an emotional tear jerker through and through) to the latest fashion trends, pisses me off so much. I cant help it. Stop farting rainbows. Rainbows dont sell. DOOM AND IMMINENT DESTRUCTION do.

    Same here Jordan. I know keynesians have shown in the past an ability to reinflate bubbles. I have a problem with them destroying future wealth. By the way, what conspiracy theories have people posted in your threads? The only conspiracy I'm convinced of is the one that occurred on Jekyll Island.

    GDP Shows Surprise Drop for U.S. in Fourth Quarter

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/100419252

    The U.S. economy posted a stunning drop of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter, defying expectations for slow growth and possibly providing incentive for more Federal Reserve stimulus.

    The economy shrank from October through December for the first time since the recession ended, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles.

    The Commerce Department said Wednesday that the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter. That's a sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent growth rate in the July-September quarter.

    Sometime in the future: mega-recession if not depression

    We're watching America collapse. You will never see it as good as the 90s ever again, end of story.

    Same thing happened in Northern Alberta. Lots of legit working people but a lot of low life losers looking for a quick buck who skyrocket crime in Fort MacMurray and Edmonton.

    Darn. The economy would have grown by 1.2% if it weren't for a $40 billion cut to the military. What is the government thinking?!

  29. #55
    If military spending is the only thing keeping GDP growth rates positive then we are in big trouble. And we are only talking 40 billion here.....

    What the heck is wrong with you. I am with schiffheadbaby, how can you possibly support ron paul? You are against military cuts and keeping the federal reserve.

    Your link shows a prediction of a short decline in Silver, whereas the next poster on that thread predicted $50-$60 Silver. I'd say Jordan had it more right than anyone else. We all understand how inflation is different and separate from price inflation, but I wish more people would get their head out of the ground with this simplistic view that the economy SIMPLY CAN NOT IMPROVE. Face it, economics works in mysterious ways, and while we can easily understand the vague longterm effects of current policies, predicting the short-term effects and *how long it will last* is another thing. We could easily be about 10 years away from the price inflation everyone is worried about.

    Give Jordan and his well researched views some credit.
