economic meltdown (3 Viewers)

[classic seanc]

This dog and chicken bone thing always bugged me. Has a wild dog never ever killed a chicken. Don't foxes kill chickens, they're not far off dogs.

I think I've been lied to.

Maybe foxes are just different enough, but also domesticated dogs can be really dumb.
As an example, I'll again mention how a vet friend saw an xray of a dog that had swallowed an entire toy plastic arrow. The arrow ran from the back of it's throat all the way back to its anus. How did he do it? No one knows, but he managed it somehow.

Arrows or bones or sticks can break inside the dog and hurt his guts. That's what I thought the big problem was with bones, but these other posts have me confused a little.

It's the way the bones break that is the problem. chicken and fish bones shatter leaving lots of sharp bits whereas most others don't or can't be broken by dogs.

i think it's because chickens eat glass and therefore their bones are part glass

That's what I meant.

Lads, I dont see how chickens eating glass has anything to do with the problems on Wall St.

That's your problem right there.

I'm thinking about becoming a traveling minstrel and giving hand jobs on the side.

Interesting essay from another forum that looks just like thumped. Not Sure if it belongs here, or the Iraqi thread of the Presidential Election 2008 thread, but here...

By Paul Craig Roberts
3-19-8

In his famous book, The Collapse of British Power (1972), Correlli Barnett reports that in the opening days of World War II Great Britain only had enough gold and foreign exchange to finance war expenditures for a few months. The British turned to the Americans to finance their ability to wage war. Barnett writes that this dependency signaled the end of British power.

From their inception, America's 21st century wars against Afghanistan and Iraq have been red ink wars financed by foreigners, principally the Chinese and Japanese, who purchase the US Treasury bonds that the US government issues to finance its red ink budgets.

The Bush administration forecasts a $410 billion federal budget deficit for this year, an indication that, as the US saving rate is approximately zero, the US is not only dependent on foreigners to finance its wars but also dependent on foreigners to finance part of the US government's domestic expenditures.

Foreign borrowing is paying US government salaries--perhaps that of the President himself--or funding the expenditures of the various cabinet departments. Financially, the US is not an independent country.

The Bush administration's $410 billion deficit forecast is based on the unrealistic assumption of 2.7% GDP growth in 2008, whereas in actual fact the US economy has fallen into a recession that could be severe. There will be no 2.7% growth, and the actual deficit will be substantially larger than $410 billion.

Just as the government's budget is in disarray, so is the US dollar which continues to decline in value in relation to other currencies. The dollar is under pressure not only from budget deficits, but also from very large trade deficits and from inflation expectations resulting from the Federal Reserve's effort to stabilize the very troubled financial system with large injections of liquidity.

A troubled currency and financial system and large budget and trade deficits do not present an attractive face to creditors. Yet Washington in its hubris seems to believe that the US can forever rely on the Chinese, Japanese and Saudis to finance America's life beyond its means. Imagine the shock when the day arrives that a US Treasury auction of new debt instruments is not fully subscribed.

The US has squandered $500 billion dollars on a war that serves no American purpose. Moreover, the $500 billion is only the out-of-pocket costs. It does not include the replacement cost of the destroyed equipment, the future costs of care for veterans, the cost of the interests on the loans that have financed the war, or the lost US GDP from diverting scarce resources to war. Experts who are not part of the government's spin machine estimate the cost of the Iraq war to be as much as $3 trillion.

The Republican candidate for President said he would be content to continue the war for 100 years. With what resources? When America's creditors consider our behavior they see total fiscal irresponsibility. They see a deluded country that acts as if it is a privilege for foreigners to lend to it, and a deluded country that believes that foreigners will continue to accumulate US debt until the end of time.

The fact of the matter is that the US is bankrupt. David M. Walker, Comptroller General of the US and head of the Government Accountability Office, in his December 17, 2007, report to the US Congress on the financial statements of the US government noted that "the federal government did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting (including safeguarding assets)

and compliance with significant laws and regulations as of September 30, 2007." In everyday language, the US government cannot pass an audit.

Moreover, the GAO report pointed out that the accrued liabilities of the federal government "totaled approximately $53 trillion as of September 30, 2007." No funds have been set aside against this mind boggling liability.

Just so the reader understands, $53 trillion is $53,000 billion.

Frustrated by speaking to deaf ears, Walker recently resigned as head of the Government Accountability Office.

As of March 17, 2008, one Swiss franc is worth more than $1 dollar. In 1970, the exchange rate was 4.2 Swiss francs to the dollar. In 1970, $1 purchased 360 Japanese yen. Today $1 dollar purchases less than 100 yen.

If you were a creditor, would you want to hold debt in a currency that has such a poor record against the currency of a small island country that was nuked and defeated in WW II, or against a small landlocked European country that clings to its independence and is not a member of the EU?

Would you want to hold the debt of a country whose imports exceed its industrial production? According to the latest US statistics as reported in the February 28 issue of Manufacturing and Technology News, in 2007 imports were 14 percent of US GDP and US manufacturing comprised 12% of US GDP. A country whose imports exceed its industrial production cannot close its trade deficit by exporting more.

The dollar has even collapsed in value against the euro, the currency of a make-believe country that does not exist: the European Union. France, Germany, Italy, England and the other members of the EU still exist as sovereign nations. England even retains its own currency. Yet the euro hits new highs daily against the dollar.

Noam Chomsky recently wrote that America thinks that it owns the world. That is definitely the view of the neoconized Bush administration. But the fact of the matter is that the US owes the world. The US "superpower" cannot even finance its own domestic operations, much less its gratuitous wars except via the kindness of foreigners to lend it money that cannot be repaid.

The US will never repay the loans. The American economy has been devastated by offshoring, by foreign competition, and by the importation of foreigners on work visas, while it holds to a free trade ideology that benefits corporate fat cats and shareholders at the expense of American labor. The dollar is failing in its role as reserve currency and will soon be abandoned.

When the dollar ceases to be the reserve currency, the US will no longer be able to pay its bills by borrowing more from foreigners.

I sometimes wonder if the bankrupt "superpower" will be able to scrape together the resources to bring home the troops stationed in its hundreds of bases overseas, or whether they will just be abandoned.

Mind you, they could pay off all these debts by just printing more dollars and devaluing it beyond recognition.
America has nearly left the building.

There is going to be 2 or maybe three less Stealth Bombers bought this quarter.

AHHHH no, only messing. No no. The Stealth Bombers are grand.

No, ehh, yeah, I'd say there are going to be loads of hungry people having wars in Africa... or wait, emm, yeah so the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are not going to be sorted out by September after all... no no, I mean, emm, homeless shelters are going to start being underfunded.


Nah. Singapore. All the missing money ends up in Singapore and Abu Dubai. They'll be keeping a close eye on it until they reckon we can be trusted again.

Interesting essay from another forum that looks just like thumped. Not Sure if it belongs here, or the Iraqi thread of the Presidential Election 2008 thread, but here...

I don't like it when good points are muddled up with silly stuff like "Japan is a small island". It's GDP is as big as anywhere. Economically it's huge, geographically it's pretty big too.


i lost my mind: yes.
