Also fact is a irreconciliable division is growing. The Nation is too far gone to salvage any form of limited Constitutional government. The majority have now chosen to vote
themselves the largess of the national treasury and to live off the labors of the now minority productive portion of the nation.

One geographical division I noted. Starting near the south of Texas, by a number of routes, it's possible to drive all the way to the Canadian border without passing through a single county that voted for Obama, with one exception, and that would be if you happen to drive through an Indian Reservation. And most of these counties went less than 30% for Obama. Not a single county in the north half of Texas went for Obama, except Dallas County. Not a single county in Oklahoma went for Obama. Not a single county in Nebraska except for one Indian Reservation. I have to agree with you that the nation is too divided and too far gone. I don't see any way to salvage it at this point but am interested to see what the bond market will say about that in the near future.

Whether his conclusion is right or wrong, it's interesting data and not surprising.
I will review it and see what we can foster from a post H you noted...

Countries that control the production and export of various key natural resources and commodities channels will become
increasingly more strategic and important going forward. Scale this to yourself also. FDR needed to do this as we noted
for basic reasons we all understand here. Later is another topical reality...

Putting the mouse over the county gives the percentage in that county. All states are available; this is just Texas.

Bank of Japan data shows. Sliding private consumption contributed to an annualized 3.5 percent decline in gross domestic product in the past quarter.

H that also on the demographics, but mainly Aug 07, 2012 your view that it was what I drew context from as going onward.

Also since money never sleeps, There are a handful of countries that would like to join the euro. The next in line, for example, is Latvia, which could join as early as 2014. Why, xxxxxxxx asks, would non-member countries want to join a monetary union if it were really about to collapse?

Teachable facts on process resource management: The College is a 70 to 30 split on consumption choices. The people of the College had total and absolute agreement on the proper thought going forward. This is a text book GD effect also on the fact of knowledge of the real world and choice of
independance to resource management skills. http://www.greenmtn.edu/farm_food.aspx
This can be scaled up to what we see from the left and right coast. It is not that hard to draw water from the reality that others
do not have the ability to regard what needs to be done. If you can call me liberal that Howard Zinn was correct and the proper allocation was
lost from parasites go ahead. In Vermont I have alot a Family and vacation and care for the stones of remberences there also and we note three
classes of people so we laugh togeather watching the affairs. I will forward this to my Sister who was broad sided from Haitians farm workers and legs shattered from a local farm and get a experts view also on practises in Vermont.

a, I'm long a very small position of equity since last week, 20%, and took a small bond short today. This is my first bond short. Perhaps the equities have found a low Friday and can do a relief rally for a few days. On the bonds, this is a longer term idea and, looking at the chart, they are close to the late July high. This environment may not be conducive to a new high in bonds, but I don't have a strong conviction. Just seems to me that we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel of this long bond bubble and the high could be in the rear view mirror. If stocks continue to fall, the money may move short term but we'll have to see if market movement confirms that both stocks and long term bonds can be in trouble simultaneously. This would be a surprise to the market of course but seems plausible in this environment where debt equals corporate profit until it doesn't. My tactic will be if the bonds turn down, to put a break even stop in and forget about it.

The world of FUD and COG are mindless operatives on both sides to the events.
No clue how these crap bags top to bottom expect things to crawl forward and that is to the four
points of the compass related. Heaven help us now.

Why, xxxxxxxx asks, would non-member countries want to join a monetary union if it were really about to collapse?

It's like they say on CNBC:

When stock prices are rising, then it's time to buy because stock prices are rising.

When stock prices are falling, then it's time to buy because stock prices have
bottomed out.

It's never time to not buy.

Your right John and never attempt to reason with people who know they are right.
Due diligence is the order of the day as always.

a, my thought on the market psychology is in early August the market still thought the Fed could do anything. Near the QE3 announcement one of the famous analysts said on CNBC that the Fed can take the stock market as high as they want. The next week after the QE3 announcement, the psychology seemed to change abruptly. weak stream told us last year that when the market no longer believes in Bernanke, watch out. I don't have any conviction the psychology has permanently changed yet. Short term I think the down side energy of the market has exhausted itself these past 2 months. 100 S&P points from the high is typical of some first moves down. We saw it last year from May to June too. The 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 would be a variation of the Harry Browne allocation without the gold.

We will see why the smart money will be screwed into ground soon enough.
Some debt is more important than others. I mentioned this in passing a few pages
ago that the feds ammo is not on sheet and for on the endogeniety
upcoming as in 1983 unpacking the black box and on a Jul 23, 2011 thought I seen.

I will watch and see what way the wind direction changes. Nothing on my boots needs to be scrapped off.
Waiting on my part seems prudent for a few weeks more.

John is correct on this facet" My response was that public debt was growing exponentially, and if it
ever started to fall in a credible manner, then I would be proven wrong.
Needless to say, nothing like that has happened.
