Thankfully, SK is back and we can get back to more clear discussions about how his involvment with the Fed has caused our large shark subsidies to wane.[/quote]

That’s the difference between you and me. I’m all for shark subsidies. But only SMALL shark subsidies. You just want to subsidize the large sharks, which, over the last 40 years, have grown bigger and bigger, as the small sharks shrink. Our economy grew strong during the middle of this century on the jobs created by small sharks. The nurses, the sands, the Dwarf Lanternfish (yeah, I looked that one up)….and you want to fund the threshers, the great whites and the hammerheads. That trickle down sharkonomy just doesn’t work. It’s a fallacy. Probably invented by Ronald Reagan.[/quote]

SK: I’m going to cut-and-paste this into a Word doc and save it. That post is pure frickin’ genius! I was howling when I read that.

Dan: Please get back on your meds. Please.

Afx: You SHOULD have a nickname. As one of the true liberal posters (not a stinky Leftie) you should receive a special moniker.

Investor: Okay, I watched “Money Masters”. All friggin’ three hours of it! Madre de Dios!

Very interesting stuff, but as with Griffin, a major tilt into conspiracy theory, which saps the message of credibility.

I think you raise good points regarding things like CDS opacity, the derivatives markets and some of the moves made by the USG and the Fed. To be candid, though, I don’t see conspiracy. I see blatant self-dealing, insider trading, influence peddling, incompetence and the same pocket lining that’s been going on since the birth of this great republic.

Like Dave says, BOTH Greenspan AND Griffin can be fools.

When you have a moment, buy “Lords of Finance”. It deals with central banking and bankers from just before WWI, through the inter-war period, and up to 1944 (right before Bretton Woods). The parallels between then and now are striking, with incompetence reigning supreme. The book is very well researched and doesn’t stray into conspiracy theory because it doesn’t have to. As with the present, I don’t see conspiracy, I just see idiocy and greed.

If more than one person is involved, if the parties plan and agree to a course of action, it is a conspiracy. Look up the word. con for together/with, spire, from respire, “to breathe.” It basically means, “to breath the same air.”

The US media has very effectively conditioned the public to laugh at or dismiss anything that the word “conspiracy” is attached to. If conspiracies don’t exist, then neither does the mafia, the drug cartels, etc…
