Thoughts on Bernanke, QE3, upcoming inflation etc.??

You have to read more carefully. It's called panic selling - people are sheep.

I love these people who claim to believe the opposite of what is known, be it science, economics, etc., apparently because they're ignorant, or it supports their misguided "theories", or satisfies their own self interest.

If you have a problem with the ways rules are enforced, pm Doug or Peter. The only way to make sure they would be evenly enforced ( with many different MODS and tolerance levels) would be instant ban as the only recourse. MODS do have to make judgments as to whether a post is over the limit and how much, as to editing, removal of post, infractions or after that , banning( temporarily or permanent) I am sure some see all Authority as limiting their personal rights to do or say what they wish. Peter has a separate site for such threads and posts, but since it is allowed there, fewer utilize it , perhaps as there others there who can respond just as actively against their point of view.

I personally call them as I see them, regardless of the poster, and will do so as long as Peter and myself agree.

 

That's what I thought

Understood...and perhaps it's unfair to blame the Mods. It's all a matter of perspective...if a person (Mod) is liberal, they probably don't find off-topic liberal comments provocative. Whereas they would if the comments were conservative...it's all a matter of perspective.

You don't see anything politically provocative about this comment?

I categorically disagree with this statement...and find it very offensive. This is the typical progressive-liberal "fair & balanced" approach to destroying America...and people who disagree are somehow "immature" and "stupid".

If you agree with the statement...God bless, I can certainly see how it flies under your radar. All I'm saying is that if Mods wish to restrict political commentary, they should restrict it all...and be able to recognize it.

 

Everything at the top is politics, makes it impossible to discuss events without getting into politics unless everyone sticks to the facts which will never happen.

 

QE is a known and proven method to end a recession and has been used successfully numerous times throughout history. It all works when a sensible package that includes spending cuts, as well as higher taxes on those who can afford it, that creates jobs, is enacted. Of course this would require intelligent mature adults willing to negotiate for the good of all – not exclusively their own self interests.

Not at all! The liberal approach would be no spending cuts, only higher taxes. The “righty” approach would be no tax increases, only spending cuts. I suggested a compromise with both spending cuts and tax hikes on people who are paying record low taxes, so the country can recover from years of “trickle on theory”. Failure to recognize this is the necessary compromise needed with a divided government is the problem in congress.

 

You're a great guy...and I love your posts. I just don't want to get drawn into these types of discussions because they (ultimately) result in me becoming infracted and banned. I apologize for picking on your post...not my intention at all. I'm simply trying to point out TO THE MODS that they need to use a little more "due diligence" in the performance of their duties.

 

You're okay too. If it makes you feel better, I've been censored many times for my progressive opinions.

 

:hug:

 

I agree.

 

I also feel this way.

 

The over/under on this thread being closed, now stands at 8 hours

 

Gee Mike, that is the first implicit prediction I have seen you make in the bullion section

 

Since congress has repeatedly sidestepped the need to create tax hikes for the population who pay too little, we will remain at a standstill in stupidity until someone stands up against their own party and acts like a true statesmen instead of an idiot politician. My concern is what's gonna happen to the PM's and our economy when the fed stops printing all the QE we have no way to pay for?. Some people think the price of PM.s will skyrocket once the QE ends. Do we have a precedent that indicates that our economy will be smooth sailing once and for all after the QE ends? Does QE even really work? I mean I know the US didn't really have a viable option, so our only good idea at the time was QE but obviously the jury is still out on whether or not it will help our economy or not. More to be revealed, I'm sure of it. :yes:

The ones who pay too little are the big corporations, if anyone should be paying 30%-50% tax rates it should be them. Not people who are making over 250,000 which at this point is really just upper middle class.

Higher taxes are really pointless though, since the government wastes the majority of the money it receives.

 

I am an independent that doesn't support the total platforms of either party. I never have or ever will vote a straight ticket. But this statement has something for both liberals and conservatives. IMHO.

 

A perfect storm of global conditions are keeping inflation at bay. There is a global market for dollars right now. U.S. Dollars are the closest thing to a safe haven at the moment. Among other global problems, the Euro looks risky after the Cyprus "Haircut" and China is close to having a sovereign debt crisis.

Bernanke knows we have to stop with the QE madness but Wall Street is so addicted to it, it's going to be traumatic. I hear that Bernanke desperately wants to dial it back before he leaves next year. He doesn't want his legacy to be the Fed Chairman that destroyed the dollar.
