Who Ya Gonna Listen To? A Sop, Or Your Own Common Sense?

   (Commentary posted by Roger Erickson)

"Contrary to widely held beliefs, the world has not yet begun to delever and the 

global debt-to-GDP is still growing ... "

Can you make heads or tails of this?
How can all humanity be in net debt?
To whom? Themselves?

What's the personal analogy of this?

"I'm too indebted to myself. I've run out of fiat! I can't muster the personal initiative to take another breath."

Or, my left hand owes my right hand too much - so both insist on austerity, and won't feed the mouth. Now my left ventricle owes my right ventricle. They're gonna cut each other off from the body-wide SWIFT circulatory system. You know what that means.

Same for nations? How? The fools are near fully separated from their fiat? By whom? Parasites bent on self-assisted suicide?

Capitalism is defined as the unrelenting race to produce our own parasites? So they can kill themselves AND us? Why? Is anyone asking what capitalists want to do with all the distributed fiat which they seek to sequester and hoard?

Not just any old sop, but Aesop himself nailed this over 2000 years ago. The proverbial belly had the last laugh, since the warring parts all died.

What part of Duh! don't future voters learn in Kindergarten anymore?

So Every Eligible Citizen is Guilty of Electoral Fraud?

(commentary by Roger Erickson)

Documents in JPMorgan settlement reveal how every large bank in U.S. has committed mortgage fraud

Are they all guilty as hell? Absolutely.

Are all of our politicians either liars or fools? Absolutely.

What's that say about our electorate? Must be something wrong with our mirrors!*




* Right. Couldn't be us. Or does this mean that people will do everything in their power to avoid thinking? Come to think of it, that could also explain our obesity epidemic. Thinking burns calories. The evidence is overwhelming ... but that never seems to matter, does it?
