Numerian commented on the post, “OBAMA PRESIDENCY IN DEEP CRISIS” 4 days, 6 hours ago
Can’t disagree. The guy has no friends. He’s spent five years cozying up to Republicans who hate him and turning his back on the Democrats who used to love him. He’s abandoned Democratic Party principles and […]

Hi Scott,
I’ve been following framing lumber prices, which peaked in March and have fallen significantly since then. Some mills are reporting either a drop-off in orders or a collapse in orders during this […]

Stocks are cheap. That’s what Brian Wesbury of First Trust Advisors says. He counsels investors not to pay any attention to the people who claim the stock market rally from 2009 is due to Quantitative Easing by […]

I would visit the George W. Bush museum if it had a waterboarding exhibit. I hope the planners for the Barack Obama museum are incorporating a Guantanamo forced feeding exhibit.

The Agonist found an audience during the build-up to the Iraq War of 2003. There were not too many places people could turn to if they had questioning and doubtful thoughts about the wisdom of invading Iraq. For […]

Hi Scott,
I hinted that there was something existential about Japan’s 20 year fight with deflation, zero interest rates, and zero growth. Japan has been challenged by something that is like anti-matter to […]

Thanks Don. While Arnie has a point that you are a Renaissance man with a variety of intellectual interests, your connection to the earth and the work necessary to produce something of value through agriculture […]

I’m trying to understand this response by China. I get the hypocrisy of it; the world is flooded with more hyprocrisy from its politicians and media than it is by liquidity generated through Quantitative Easing. […]

I was trying to think how to respond to Arnie, but I believe this quote says it better than I could:
All currency is fiat currency – gold, dollars, bitcoins, because it all comes out of the willingness of […]

At the end of World War II, as the world’s last remaining and therefore pre-eminent economic power, the United States was in the envious position of being able to generate nearly $1 of GDP growth for every […]

We have two models we can follow.

The next stage of the global financial collapse has now arrived.

Numerian commented on the post, Elective Amnesia: Why does George W. Bush get a free ride? 2 months ago
It’s way too early to appreciate Bush.
He took a country at the peak of its power, wealth, influence, and prestige and set it on a path of decline. Perhaps that decline was inevitable, considering the rise of […]

It’s tempting to think of the new pope as a John XXIII figure – a liberal reformer ready to lead the church in a new direction. Certainly his choice of the name Francis suggests he will be interested in the poor, […]

The American Prospect has one take on GW Bush’s paintings – that something else is going on in these pictures and it has to do with escaping one’s past. Or, as they put it, Bush can’t really escape his past, as […]

A lot of people are saying he resigned so that he could effectively choose his successor. I doubt that. He doesn’t need to interfere in the process. He has appointed nothing but conservatives to the College of […]
