Obama And The Imperceptible Recovery

Friday’s jobs report offered yet more evidence of an infuriatingly glacial recovery. The U.S. economy added 80,000 jobs in October, nudging unemployment down one tenth of a percent to 9.0%. Economic minds wiser than mine observed some bright spots in the report. But the basic fact remains that while sputtering back into recession is unlikely, at this point, accelerating into recovery is every bit as improbable:

Former '60 Minutes' Commentator Andy Rooney Dies

NEW YORK – Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature "60 Minutes" commentaries about life's large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old.

Obama Administration Announces Support For Two Of Maryland’s Treasured Lands

BALTIMORE, NOV 4 – Yesterday efforts to preserve some of Maryland’s treasured lands gained support as the Obama Administration announced its backing of two such places in the state: Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park. 

“Marylanders love the great outdoors and the opportunity for outdoor recreation. We applaud the Obama Administration for working to protect Maryland’s special places,” said Ewa Krason, Field Organizer with Environment Maryland.

Unfortunately development threatens many of our most important natural areas in Maryland.

Environment Maryland has been working to protect places throughout the state from Terrapin Run in Allegany County to Snow Hill in Worcester County because our farms, forests and fields are continually threatened to become housing developments and strip malls.

 “We look forward to harnessing tremendous public support for these two gems to make sure that all of our state’s most treasured lands are protected for our families to enjoy,” added Ewa Krason.

The aim of the Administration’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative is to create a conservation and recreation agenda for the 21^st century by gathering public input and supporting popular outdoor places.

Dial-Up Won't Die: AOL Signed Up 200K New Customers In Last Year

Even though we're well past the age of AOL's ubiquitous free trial CDs, the shrunken ISP giant still manages to coax hundreds of thousands of new customers into its antiquated dial-up service. According to its earnings report, the company added 200,000 new customers while losing 630,000 users in the past year. Shockingly, 3.5 million users still greet the internet with the nostalgic, ear-splitting sound of their landlines connecting to the internet.

Government Kept Adding Jobs As Economy Sputtered

Uno's Military Discount Available To All Veterans, Not Just Retirees

Uno Chicago Grill, the chain that has brought the deliciousness of deep-dish pizza to suburban wastelands everywhere, is honoring veterans next week. That's excellent. But their publicity for the event gets some terminology wrong. Despite what a current press release says, the 19.43% discount doesn't just apply to active-duty personnel and those who spent decades in the military and retired with a pension. It's for everyone who has served.

Shadow Economies: Harvest Organs From The Poor For The Rich

Living in abject poverty, $10,000 is a beguiling promise. All you have to do is give up one kidney. It's ok, you have another one. But a Bloomberg Markets Magazine investigation shows how gangs around the world prey on the poor and use threats and violence to get them to give up their organs, which they can then resell for upwards of $150,000. This isn't just happening in some ice-filled bath in China: this week, a Brooklyn man plead guilty to selling black market kidneys to people in New Jersey.

QUOTE OF THE DAY 11-4-11

“The result is an oligarchy of private capital, the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature…and control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information.”
Albert Einstein, 1949

Ain't No Chairs

I came across an interesting quote recently in The Gartman Letter. Dennis Gartman quotes Charles Biderman of TrimTabs fame.

"European leaders are searching for a relatively quick and easy way out of the government debt bubble that has been building for decades and just started to burst a few years ago. Unfortunately, there is no quick or easy way out.
"Debt has to be reckoned with one way or another. It either has to be repaid, or someone has to bear the losses on what cannot be repaid, either through default or inflation and currency debasement. If it were otherwise, everyone could be rich.
"The bailouts proposed for the Eurozone do not solve the underlying solvency problem. Instead, they are little more than shell games to shift losses on bad debt from bondholders to taxpayers."

That of course is a variation of my very important concept that all debt gets paid, either by the borrower or by the lender.

Greece is a serial deadbeat and has not even the slightest intention of paying their bills. The EU can play games until the cows come home but the Greek debt is not going to get paid. Greece defaulted many months ago and the governments of the EU and the financial media keep pretending there is a solution. There is none.

Here are the facts. There is $195 trillion dollars of debt in the world but only $150 trillion in assets. That assumes there isn't trillions more of debt hidden in the $600 trillion in derivatives. I suspect the debt may be far higher than anyone anticipates today.

The debt cannot be paid, even if the entire load is dumped like bales of hay onto the backs of the taxpaying camels. The debt must be written off and governments, like corporations and families, must learn to live within their budgets. We cannot float in a sea of debt attached to an anchor of unpaid obligations.
