The Retirement DEMAND LEAKAGES Will Continue To Grow, Until Aggregate Demand Picks Up

   (Commentary posted by Roger Erickson)

These people are all missing the point?

Hence,

The retirement Demand Leakages will continue to grow, until Aggregate Demand picks up. ... Doh!

THE problem? (There's only one?)

THE solution? (Really, Tina? There is no alternative?)

Or, is "retirement" a trick question?

Haven't these people ever heard that no plan survives contact with reality, and that the best way to proceed is to Never Tell People HOW to do things? There is never just one way, and the eventual, most adaptive route is always a total surprise.

Otherwise evolution wouldn't have taken this long to occur.

Even chemists eventually learn that it takes oxy + morons to create Luddites capable of really gumming up the works. Natural selection means that at least a few of even highly social rats will eventually abandon a sinking ship, instead of going down en masse.

And here I thought that the successive, asynchronous generations in our social species WERE both a way to optimize our aggregate demand AND save it for prior generations too! Such an ingenious solution available from the start, but maybe we're not smart enough to grasp that yet? We're certainly not scaling up the same principle, from families to our citizenry.

So what, exactly, IS the definition of intelligence, and why isn't it increasing with increasing population size? What good is a growing network if TINA can't connect the newly emerging dots?

So Why DID The Moronic Aggregate Ever START Pounding It's Head Against The Wall?

Because it would feel so good when they stopped? :(

"pressure on the European Central Bank to do “something” to prevent outright deflation is growing"

ECB translation: "Finally. Some signs of growth in Europe!!!" :)

Somehow this reminds me of the old moron joke.

So stop, already. And start asking why you started.

Or ... you could just do "QE" for a few years.*

Tempo is everything, is separating agile vs moronic aggregates.


* Why didn't the moronic aggregate ever ASK itself what QE is, and does? Because, because, because, BECAUSE ... because of the moronic things electorates do (at the request of orthodox economists). Of course that begs yet another question, but too few have the attention span to ask it, and more. They're busy pounding lemming heads against unemployment walls ... in unison. 

Capitalists? Their only suggestion is to start selling headache pills. Doh!
