The Flow of Confidence

The Flow of Confidence

America became great with cheap credit. Borrowers believed their projects would bear fruit. The lenders used the loan payments to extend credit to new borrowers.
This worked well until a significant number of borrowers failed to make the payments. With inflows decreased the lenders lost confidence they would be paid back.
Suddenly, the new potential borrowers couldn’t find money on loan.
The intended projects never started and new job creation halted.
Rampant unsecured stock manipulation triggered the Great Depression. This time around the housing bubble burst.
By the time the Fed began to throw money around, almost all lenders and borrowers had lost the confidence to make a move.

What got me the JP Morgan Chase paid only $286 millions for BS. The Fed had to guarantee $30 BILLIONS in bad debt. The elitists forget that we make the decisions to borrow or save.
Investment banker is a euphemism for gangster thug.
I remember your articles on Blogster with respect. You have these bums cold.

People do not realize that this is only the beginning. The rippling effects are hitting every aspect of the economy harder and harder. Last year I predicted this in a post on Blogster.

There is nothing the Federal Reserve or the White House can do. It is like a snowball rolling down a mountainside.

Each infusion of credit the Fed makes worsens the already bad inflation. That in turn cuts the dollar's value in the world economy even more. And that increases the dollar cost for energy, which completes the inflation wheel.

In the meantime, instead of allowing Bear Stearns' shareholders to take their loss like adult men and women, the Fed bails them out in the deal with JP Morgan Chase, but the people are told to suck it in and stay the course. Who bails out the people whose jobs went to Mexico and Asia? Who bails out the people whose homes are in foreclosure? Who helps the seniors whose utility costs are skyrocketing?

It is way past time for a change in government. 850 Billion went down the drain on a war that has had nothing to do with the war on terror. Our national debt has quadrupled under these morons in the White House.

Now the country must pay the real price of their macho folly.
