"We already live in a financial economy in which the debt and capital markets exceed the value of the real economy by far," Marc Faber explains to Germany's Finanzen100, "and that's before the current formation of bubbles." His most ominous warning, and one that fits perfectly with the seeming insanity of Federal Reserve (and all developed market central banks) is that "the next time a bubble bursts, then the capitalist economic system as we know will falter."

Obama is blowing on the bubble pipe as hard as he can.
“the seeming insanity of Federal Reserve”
really? its transferring wealth from the bible belt to new York. as planned.
Bring back American manufacturing.
Just saying.
This is not capitalism as we know it. This is capitalism bastardized by cronies, politicians, and a bailout culture. None of this would be happening if businesses were allowed to fail.

This is capitalism the way sobriety is to a drinking alcoholic.
It is not capitalism
It is corruption. Bailouts? That’s he least of it
The GOPe is steeped in kickbacks they can’t get out if the way and the corporations cannot function without their lobbies.
They all need to go on the wagon and let enterprise come i
But if this is what we accept as a definition of capitalism remedial education is in order
Fascism — the liberals’ way.
“...Bring back American manufacturing...”

How I wish....
Several things that are unlikely to happen would have to come first.
But liberals are frothing at the mouth with the idea of destroying capitalism. This will usher in a golden era of state socialism where everyone is equally wealthy. The government will always be a benevolent and caring one, while kulaks and entrepreneurs will burn in the fiery pit of Hell. Cancer will cure itself. The tree will lie down with the homosexual and make baby electric cars from their rear ends. Global warming will turn into global peace prizes. Second hand smokers will rise up and kill all the smokers. Geeorge Soros will be absolute dictator in a world where there is no God and marijuana is legal.
Capitalism to me is the free market with the rule of law and lack of government interference. What we have today is a corrupt scheme that has irreparably poisoned our nation. Special interests rule the day and the nation gets the shaft.
Whatever manufacturing we “bring back” will be largely automated, and not required significant employment of unskilled bipeds. I now live in a highly protectionist country and this is precisely what has happened.

Everyone should have a plan of escape.
To assume that the country will return to the grand old days when the Commie Obumbo is gone is not a safe bet.
Can you imagine PRESIDENT Hildabeast?
There are a number of web sites devoted to expat living.
Start to bone up on life in other countries.
For families, check out www.internationalliving.com and www.Escapefromamerica.com. They specialize in Central America.
For single guys, the Philippines is today’s paradise.
I started expat living in central Europe, which still has possibilities, but fading since joining the EU. A British friend of mine from my days in Slovakia is moving here to the Philippines next month.
I think that's a given once the dollar becomes worthless and we're unable to buy anything from other countries with them.
The problem will be the turmoil we will have to endure in the interim, likely a global economic shutdown/reset.
Bob Brinker, the financial radio show guy, said today (parphrasing) that “relatively few Americans will be affected by Obamacare since the vast majority receive their healthcare plans through their employers”. My jaw dropped, and he got a flurry of angry callers taking issue. Brinker may understand market funds, the time value of money at a certain rate of return, portfolios and such, but he seems absolutely clueless to the larger picture.
We don’t have a free market, I reached an agreement with a gas station owner to set up a vending stand in th ecorner of his parking lot and the local cops came and shut it down.
If you want to see a market go to a Mexican neighborhood What you have in the suburbs is a bunch of bloated chains with overpriced products using their political muscle to squeeze out small business.
I think we have an alternative.
Right now, China and America manufacture approximately the same. China however has the momentum big-time, so China is poised to leap ahead of America in the next year.
I think it is time for America to stand up, do what is most responsible, and get our own house in order.
We need to raise taxes on (all) imports, across the board.
And we need to bring back American manufacturing.
We can bring back American manufacturing, if we raise taxes on imports.
But we need to do this now. Not wait.
Now.
Agree, but I and probably you know it probably ain't going to happen. Seems things have to reach bottom before folks start looking for a way out in earnest. Take Obamacare as an example. The Teaparty, Cruz, Lee and others did their best to inform the rest of the country. No one wanted to listen to Cruz as he filibustered the issue. Only now that we are at the verge of a collapse of our entire medical industry, because of obamacare, are others starting to panic, and trying to come up with a solution, though now it's too late to avoid the pain.
Stopped listening when he came out in support of the Goron.
