22 Statistics That Prove That The American Dream Is Being Systematically Destroyed  The following are 22 statistics that prove that the American Dream is being systematically destroyed.... http://albertpeia.com/americandreamdestroyed.htm   ,  Biden: Romney is a job creator -- overseas  { The effects of having part of your brain removed, indeed. It is noteworthy that ‘Lobotomy Joe’ biden voted for NAFTA which produced that ‘sucking sound’ forebodingly described by the honorable Ross Perot; viz., of jobs leaving the u.s. as a direct consequence thereof. }   ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   http://etfdigest.com/commentary.html  CHUCKY THE CONSUMER IS NOT ENTHUSED 6-26-12 ‘News from the U.S. included the Case Shiller Home Price Index which was which was about as expected (.7% vs .4% expected & prior .7%) with YOY (-1.9% vs -2.3% expected & prior -2.6%). So in realtor lingo this would indicate a “stable” market. When realtors tell you prices are stable, this usually means they haven’t sold a house in months.The Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index was a disappointment (-3 vs 5 expected & prior 4) keeping the economy on a weakening path.Consumer Confidence stunk (62.0 vs 63.5 expected & prior 64.4) so don’t expect “Chucky the Consumer you can’t kill” to bailout the economy this go round. The chart below reflects the relationship and performance with the S&P and previous Consumer Confidence data. Meanwhile the drama in the eurozone continues as we lumber along toward Friday’s “it’s fixed this time” decision. So we expect plenty of rumors and manipulation before then. The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) which is expected to provide a bailout facility floated a few positive ideas which would expand the facility. This got some algo buying going despite the fact that both Germany’s Merkel and Schauble have put the “nein, nein, nein” to it. Speaking of Germany, lesser known (and less conflicted) rating agency Egan Jones downgraded Germany from AA- to A+. This will only aggravate Germans. The more curious development was Greece has its second new Finance Minister in as many days by tapping Professor Stournaras for the job. He was instrumental in getting Greece into the eurozone to begin with. (They may not greet him with a parade in Brussels this week.) Finally, Italy’s Mario Monti lashed out at Germany prior to the summit as noted.Speaking of credit downgrades, Moody’s ratings cuts to 28 Spanish banks (10 to junk) had little effect so either Moody’s is still either disrespected or leading from behind.Bulls seized on rumors and data they liked to get algos pumped-up to launch some buy programs especially when the IMF’s Blanchard said: “Short-term must be the focus for Europe.” This must mean QE or just plain old, “kick the can”.Stocks put in gains on this Turnaround Tuesday with tech (XLK) leading along with consumer discretionary (XLY) and retail (XRT). Of course the latter flew in the face of Consumer Confidence data.The dollar (UUP) was flat while gold (GLD) prices sank once again. Commodity prices (DBC) were mixed to slightly higher mostly led by grain (JJG) markets. Bond (IEF) prices were slightly lower.Volume was still on the light side while breadth per the WSJ was positive…’  ,  Ray Dalio: Don't Assume That Germany Will Bail Europe Out; Consider The "Fat Tail" A Significant Possibility  ZeroHedge.com Tyler Durden  , Egan Jones Downgrades Germany From AA- To A+  ,  "Bankruptcy Only Choice Left" As Stockton Set To Become Largest US City Chapter 9  ,  Guest Post: Liquidation Is Vital  In light of the zombification that now exists in Japan and also America (and coming soon to every single QE and bailout-heavy Western economy) — zombie companies, poorly managed, making all the same mistakes as before, rudderless, and yet still in business thanks to government intervention  — it is clear that the liquidationists grasped something that Keynesians are still missing. Markets are largely no longer trading fundamentals; they are just trading state intervention and money printing. Why debate earnings when instead you can debate the prospects ,  of QE3? Why invest in profitable companies and ventures when instead you can pay yourself a fat bonus cheque out of monetary stimulus? Why exercise caution and consideration when you can just gamble and get a bailout?  Unfortunately, Mellon and his counterparts at the 30s Fed were the wrong kind of liquidationists — they could not heed their own advice and leave the market be. Ironically, the 30s Fed in raising interest rates and failing to act as lender-of-last resort drove the market into a deeper depression than was necessary (and certainly a deeper one than happened in 1907) and crushed any incipient recovery. Liquidation is not merely some abstract policy directive, or government function. It is an organic function of the market. ,  Rosenberg Opens Pandora's 'Global Economic Shock' Box  In a detailed discussion with Bloomberg TV's Tom Keene, Gluskin Sheff's David Rosenberg addresses everything from Europe's "inability to grow its way out of the problem" amid its 'existential moment', Asian 'trade shock' and commodity contagion, and US housing, saving, and fiscal uncertainty. He believes we are far from a bottom in housing, despite all the rapacious calls for it from everyone, as the over-supply overhang remains far too high. "The last six quarters of US GDP growth are running below two percent" he notes that given the past sixty years of experience this is stall speed, and inevitably you slip into recession". He is back to his new normal of 'frugality' and bearishness on the possibilities of any solution for Europe but, most disconcertingly he advises Keene that "when you model fiscal uncertainty into any sort of economic scenario in the U.S., what it means is that businesses raise their liquidity ratios and households build up their savings rates. This comes out of spending growth. And that's the problem - you've got the fiscal uncertainty coupled with a US export 'trade shock'."  ,  Equities Rise On Low Volume Tide As Broad Risk Assets Tread Water  ,  Turkey Mobilizing: Media Manipulation, Provocation Or Reality?  ,  Guest Post: Who Destroyed The Middle Class - Part 3  ,  Supply Chain Slowdown Signals US Economic Slump Ahead  The American Chemistry Council's chief economist Kevin Swift created a 'Chemical Activity Barometer' which tracks chemical production and prices, hours worked at producers, and manufacturing output among other factors. As indicated in today's Bloomberg Chart-of-the-Day, this indicator, based on its 'earliness in the supply chain' provides a signal that "the outlook for the economy is slowing during the next six to nine months" since 96% of manufactured goods are derived in part from materials produced by the US chemical industry. Three-month declines of 3% or more have preceded all but one recession since 1947 and it is currently down over 2.5% from its highs in March suggesting sub-par growth is coming.  ,  As The ECB's Balance Sheet Hits A New Record High, Fair EURUSD Value Is 900 Pips Lower  ,  Charting How Everything Changed In 2008  ,   Peripheral Sovereign Yields Spike On Spain 'Junk' Rumors  ,   Italy's Unelected PM Mario Monti: "Eurobonds, Or I Resign"   ,  Merkel Says No European Shared Liability As Long As She Lives  ,  Deutsche Bank Hides The Hopium: "The Next Recession Should Start By The End Of August"  ,  Richmond Fed Plunges; Consumers Underconfident For The Fourth Month In A Row  ,   Art Cashin Warns: "Beware The Ides Of September"  While Europe is dominating headlines this week, UBS' Art Cashin suggests "mark your calendar and cross your fingers" as he notes the disproportionate prevalence of events that occur in September. Focusing on The Economist's Greg Ip's recent post on a possible seasonal pattern in banking crises, via this recent Reinhart & Rogoff extension paper by Laeven and Valencia, he notes: "The frequency with which the world goes to hell in September seems hardly random." Unfortunately the authors provide no explanation for this beyond observing, "An interesting pattern emerges: banking crises tend to start in the second half of the year, with large September and December effects." Ip and Cashin offer some thoughts on why this is so historically, and more importantly why this time is no different, as the avuncular Art concludes with: "try to enjoy your summer".

 

The Daily Market Report  Jun 26th, 2012 13:02 by News  Gold Eases as Dollar Firms (USAGOLD) — Gold has retreated into the range on renewed worries after German Chancellor Merkel was quoted as saying, “I don’t see total debt liability as long as I live.” This should not have come as any surprise to anyone as Germany’s objections to shared debt is pretty well documented at this point. Nonetheless, it sets a pretty adversarial tone for the EU summit and the euro fell to match the 3-week low at 1.2442. The corresponding rise in the dollar, put the yellow metal back on the defensive.Spanish borrowing costs rose sharply on speculation that Moody’s plans to downgrade the country to junk status. Meanwhile the subordination issue related to the Spanish banking bailout continues to be debated and pressure is on Germany to forgo the senior status of any ESM loan to Spain because of the impact it would have on private bondholders and future attempts to sell bonds.In the UK, pubic sector net borrowing was much higher than expectations in May, due to a drop in income tax receipts. BoE Governor Mervyn King was quick to blame the worsening of the UK economy on the eurozone crisis.Any optimism associated with the first monthly rise in the Case-Shiller home price index in 8-months was offset by misses in the Richmond Fed index and consumer confident in June. As the US economy continues to founder, and the Obama administration continues to deflect by criticizing Europe, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble struck back saying, “Herr Obama should above all deal with the reduction of the American deficit. That is higher than that in the euro zone.”Schäuble is understandably agitated by US kibitzing. While the US maintains the ‘exorbitant privilege’ of being able to print an endless numbers of dollars, the EMU was designed to have much tighter monetary controls. Europe can’t simply print its way out of debt as the US can.

• US Consumer Confidence falls to 62.0 in Jun, below market expectations of 63.2, vs negative revised 64.4 in May.
Richmond Fed Index tumbles to -3 in Jun, below market expectations, vs 4 in May.
• US S&P Case-Shiller home prices index for 20-cities (nsa) +1.3% in Apr to 135.8, vs 134.1 in Mar.
• Germany GfK Consumer Confidence ticked higher to 5.8 for Jul, above expectations of 5.6, vs 5.7 in Jun.
• Italy retail sales (sa) -1.6% m/m in Apr, vs negative revised -0.8% in Mar; -6.8% y/y.
• UK Public Sector Net Borrowing rose to -£15.6 bln in May, vs downward revised -£19.9 bln in Apr.
• Singapore Manufacturing Production +6.6% y/y in May, vs positive revised -0.2% in Apr.
• Hong Kong Trade Balance -HK$35.6 bln in May, vs -HK$42.9 bln in Apr.

FLASHBACK: Obama's Sordid High School Past...
By Ben Shapiro ‘While the Washington Post has been diligently digging into relatively innocent high school pranks by Mitt Romney, they’ve spent the last few years diligently ignoring President Obama’s far more controversial high school days.Obama, by all accounts, was a habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed … A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close friends was arrested for drug possession during high school.In his memoir, Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote. “That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man.” But, according to Obama, he only got high because he was contemplating deep matters: drugs could “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” Obama told students in 2007 that this activity constituted “goofing off” and “wasting time”:"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof off in high school as my mom reminded me," Obama said. "I went to high school in Hawaii, so there's a lot of opportunity to goof off because the weather is really good all the time …"You know, I made some bad decisions …. You know, got into drinking and experimenting with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time where I didn't apply myself. It wasn't until I got out of … high school, and went to college that I started realizing, man, I wasted a lot of time.”The New York Times, however, went out of its way to find Obama’s classmates to testify that drugs played only a “bit part” in Obama’s youth. Yet Obama would later brag on the campaign trail that he “inhaled frequently … that was the point.”During his high school years, Obama hung out with communist radical Frank Marshall Davis; in 2007, the Los Angeles Times reported that during his high school days, “he felt the first stirrings of anger toward whites. He says he also delved into black nationalism.” He was “offended or even enraged when white classmates adopted black street slang or revealed their underlying consciousness of his race by going out of their way to tell him how much they admired a black musician or athlete.” This activity is certainly more reflective of Obama’s ideological history than Mitt Romney’s pranks on teachers and fellow students. And as for the drug use – well, that seems just a bit more serious than walking a teacher into a door or cutting a student’s hair. But leave it to the Post to ignore or downplay all of that in favor of continuing stories about Romney’s dog, his high school hijinks, and whatever other nonsense they can use to protect President Obama from his own incompetence.Ben Shapiro is Breitbart News Editor-at-Large.  Follow him on twitter @benshapiro.

 No doubt that after expending all that energy bullying an innocent little girl, young Obama readied himself for round two by eating a Golden Retriever.

Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization. Financialization: The process of making money from nothing in which debt (i.e. poverty, lack) is paradoxically considered an asset (i.e. wealth, gain). In current financialized economies “wealth expansion” comes from the parasitic taxation of productivity in the form of interest on fiat lending. This interest over time consumes a greater and greater share of resources, assets, labor, and livelihood until nothing is left., Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer on Fake Wealth Creation and its Implications (Part 2) Only in a debt-based money system could debt be curiously cast as an asset. We’ve made “extend and pretend” a quaint phrase for a burgeoning market for financial lying and profiteering aimed toward preventing the collapse of a debt- (or lack-) based system that was already doomed by its initial design to collapse. , Guest Post: The Audacity of Bonuses At MF GlobalIn the spirit of George Orwell’s Animal Farm commandment: “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal then others” comes the galling news that bankruptcy trustee, Louis Freeh, could approve the defunct, MF Global to pay bonuses to certain senior executives. This, despite the fact that nearly $1.6 billion of customer funds remains “missing” or otherwise partially accounted for, yet beyond the reach of those customers, perhaps forever, since before the firm declared bankruptcy on October 31, 2011...
