Why would you want to print 1000$ bills? Debit cards are much easier to control.

Debit cards will be the least of our issues on the current voyage of the ship of fools.

Can we please keep the silver and gold paperweights to the correct forum and stop the double posting?

Gold is just about worth its weight in $100 bills. The paper money will soon be wallpaper. Bet we see $1,000 bills in the next 3 years. Wonder how hard it is to get ATMs to handle them.

Please keep on topic. No need to double post (SPAM) about gold and silver in different forums.

OK This is clearly a gender issue. This weblog didn't have these issues until you arrived. But I will respect the fairer sex and ensure that detail is directed to the correct forum, Mam.

Does Putin have political capital other than a doubletap philosophy to mirror trade zone creation.

Current #open source says no to his ability.

Since we noted the 10 year anniversary in the middle east we have another 10 year threat
already. Mullen contended that the Haqqani insurgent network "acts as a veritable arm" of
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency as it undermined U.S.-Pakistan relations

Forums conveyed "parity" which at the moment is another round of "leveling" we trended at the inception of Gatt Uruguay Round - 1986-1994
The U.S. goods trade deficit with NAFTA was $94.6 billion in 2010, a 36.4% increase ($25 billion) over 2009. The U.S. goods trade deficit with NAFTA accounted for 26.8% of the overall U.S. goods trade deficit in 2010.

Listen buddy. Why don't you man up a little and act a little more mature. Go troll elsewhere.

Higgy how far in your area are we into this effect?
All of the infrastructure and skills will be in place to do so, and some, but not all, of the existing managers will have the ability to make these stores profitable as standalone units, and will want to. Suppliers will still want to sell to them and may be willing to extend financing on good terms, especially if we can stay in a deflationary environment, which will be good for new startups in many ways. If costs come down, investors who are now playing tiddlywinks in the stock markt will turn their attention to these new opportunites in their own back yards and social connections will reconstitute. Existing managers will know who to retain from their existing staff and who to fire and will do it without a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo. In addition, since managers within companies like these will already know each other, a lot of information sharing can take place as to how to obtain money and implement changes and there will no longer be any interference from corporate. But the road will be bumpier at first than it was in the 1930s. Higgenbotham

My point is the drawdown effect. I am not seeing this effect developing but would assume at this point the amount of products getting "actually purchased" to the shelf are or will diminish. Also, the credit to the sheep is advancing so savings as a vehicle to recovery is negated and the debased currency flush we monitor will only enhance the next leg down from our projections we noted already in the forums. Open for ideas but we are not moving forward so we are in detail fading down IMO. We noted the aspect the early money in real esate made there move. In Michigan another point is more areas are catching less of a bid to be tax generating units. There just are not moving as they had been last summer and will recheck my numbers as before. Anticipated was noted to this effect and me unwilling concluded the new normal is not even presenting itself here yet. Not going to splash up graghs again since we already have in the running dialog here.

Also, Mitsubishi missile division just got #cleaned# the other day.

Pointless at this juncture in time to think a shift will trend upward since the main contention to date is basically complete to the eradication of the second natives as the sighners warned from the inception.

"I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced."
Soon it will dawn and they will never see it coming.

“The Road to Serfdom.” His thesis was that war gets people used to national planning. So the planners continue to plan, even in peacetime. These incremental expansions of the social- welfare state aren’t benign. They foster the creation of ever- more-powerful interest groups. The economy becomes less productive. Political corruption in turn gives rise to dictators. Foreign-policy tension or economic crisis accelerates the trend. “‘Emergencies,’” Hayek wrote, “have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have eroded.” For a number of decades the main thing about Hayek seemed to be that he was wrong. Britain did head to the left, far to the left. After the war, the U.S. also institutionalized government planning in new areas. But this low estimation of Hayek fails to appreciate his central thought: the economic damage is subtle and is evident only over time…

Hayek understood that a good decade where government expansion seems to stall -- the 1990s -- doesn’t mean government won’t expand when the next crisis comes. The recent pattern of following a war and a financial collapse with the creation of a new entitlement is a perfect example of the Hayekian dynamic in action… And we are not the only ones who know this.... The U.S. is on the road if not to serfdom then to less growth, less innovation, more rationing and more political corruption…

You'll have to give me a definition of serfdom that uses actual referents, because I don't know what you mean by that word in that context. I know what I mean by that word, but I don't know what you mean.

My prediction 2 years ago as you quoted was that some of the big box units would get recycled in this manner after a bankruptcy. Since then, a lot of damage has been done to the economy with QE2, etc. My initial reaction is to say it will be impossible to get a reconstitution of big box retail in most or all US metro areas due to the damage inflicted over the past 2 years. More likely is that most US cities will decay and crumble, and most big box structures will be abandoned.
