The Bailout Bubble

Good morning!
The biggest financial bubble in history is being inflated in plain sight. This is the Mother of All Bubbles, and when it explodes, it will signal the end to the boom/bust cycle that has characterized economic activity throughout the developed world. Either unwilling or unable to call the bubble by its proper name, the media, Washington, and Wall Street describe the stupendous government expenditures on rescue packages, stimulus plans, buyouts, and takeovers as emergency measures needed to salvage the severely damaged economy.
All of this terminology is econo-jargon. It's like calling torture ''enhanced interrogation techniques.'' Washington is inflating the biggest bubble ever: the Bailout Bubble. This is much bigger than the Dot-com and Real Estate bubbles which hit speculators, investors, and financiers the hardest. However destructive the effects of these busts on employment, savings and productivity, the Free Market Capitalist framework was left intact. But when the Bailout Bubble explodes, the system goes with it.
Anyone stocking up on tinned food and shotguns? It will be a funny war, fought with fixed-gear bicycles and asymmetrical fringes.

Greece is pretty much gone - they're below sub prime level, now they're worse than junk bond status and they'll take down most of their financial backers (germany, uk, us). If they get backing once again it's demented. Bad times. Doubt that the eu as it stands is going to survive much longer. One of the few times to be glad that Australia is 'so far from the rest of the world'.

geez aren't you dudes worried about your share portfoloios?
the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
China will save us. If not, we are doomed because of all the private debt households have. Will the housing market crash now?
I'm pretty sure this is what losgauchos looks like.
We're all gonna die...eventually!!!!
Ha. Thats what the government wants you to think. The sosser people control our leaders and the hospital system. People don't die in hospital - they have their life forces drained and then their aura spirits stolen. They put the auras in jars and use them to power the marmon machine which powers their galactic war effort against the Qar. If you die in the forrest, sure, you'll leave your empty vessel (body) to decompose, but your aura spirit can float away and be at one with the godess Ruth.
So if you die free in nature you will live for ever with ruth. She has awesome boobs.
awesome boobs.
you won't be able to afford boobs when the austerity privations kick in
maybe a kindly neighbour will let you look at a drawing of boobs that they keep in a box under the bed
you will have to look at it by candlelight
I will make a living drawing awesome boobs. I have been practicing at work all week.
nah, that's what most dudes at Golden Plains looked like.
Damn bums are storming New York! Its all going pear shaped!!!

China headed for a hard landing? Tick tick tick...
Is it safe to come out yet?
