The New Economic Indicators

[MrBigEnchilada]

manipulating interest rates isn't going to help us get out of anyyy recession/depression. Of course, this applies to inflationary times as well.

Supply side economics say you should make it more cheaper and cost efficient for companies to produce. Demand side economics say you should make it more affordable for consumers to buy.

just support which ever one you think will work...

[UnitedPebbles]

SO which indicators have the most weight? What is your equation and the result that you are looking for? I don't get it...certainly these indicators are really for consumer confidence? firm decision on future output and input?

I am reading this Baumohl person book on economic indicators. Seem like craps to me. If you follow it then the indicators may become real?

On a market decision, high unemployment mean competitive wage, I will hire if you can afford high overhead.

[Txsray]

Only an idiot would trust anything Greenspan says.

His forecasts are the opposite of the truth.

[zidane410]

ha "Alan Greenspan might be on to something". he is one of the smartest people in this country when it comes to economics. of course he is on to something.

[BaresarkNinja]

This is BS. Just another way for the government to throw money away and try to give a reason for the FED. The economy would be fantastic if they wouldn't stifle the economy with their almost pointless legislation.

[YTvb]

Makes sense...

[7Hook]

I am not a professional, but I think this has potential for a good comedy bit.

[rebharath]

what is the baseline for these numbers? is this a comparison between india and china which, according to the hottie, have been experiencing tremendous growth over the last decade? this doesn't really make sense without a baseline.

[wbradd3797]

This is such a big pile of propoganda shit by the FED.

[Gobobo24]

What a massive load of total drivel and dirge.

[karn3022]

Abolish the "federal" reserve system and I predict an economy that will thrive.

[drumknuckle]

Greenspan deliberately destroyed the value of our dollar. Look up som of the videos on here where he is confronted by congress members and senators. All he care about is hookin up his boys on Wallstreet and doing the dirty work for the NWO.

[macca13]

Is that why GDP is over 13 trillion and inflation is at 2.5% Greenspan tightened monetary policy when he had to. How can the currency be valuless with at 2.5% inflation rate? You Fool

[drumknuckle]

wow! u dont pay very good attention to the economy do u? the value of the dollar is going straight into the gound pal. Even Dick Cheney dumped the dollar and all his investments are in other exchange currencies, along with many huge Wallstreet names. Wake up asshole this isnt an opinon its a warning!

[macca13]

ohhh, so because cheney invests abroard, the economy is in ruins? look at the CPI you fucktard!!

[drumknuckle]

...man, i just came across this post i made a year ago. Sorry i jumped out and called you an asshole. Isn't it funny that all these economic so-called "conspiracies" have come true? Here a year ago they said our economy is great and now 1 year later the world economy is in ruins and the US is in a depression. This stuff doesn't happen that quick. It takes years to bring down an economy. All this shit is orchestrated from the top down.

[BaresarkNinja]

He is absolutely right. And the fact that the dollar is inflated at all is proof of the FED's meddling and purposeful printing of new money with absolutely no backing, does so much damage to the entire world economy. The founding fathers new the danger of paper money, and no one today seems to understand. Allowing the money control legislations to pass hurts everyone.

[RevolutionaryJam]

wow she's gorgeous

[mfiorell]

I was in the audience when Greenspan was on the Daily Show, and after he left Jon said "I'm sorry but I fell asleep about halfway through." I think everybody was asleep during that interview

[ohheatherr]

Alan Greenspan is openly talking about predicting the future based on how fearful people are? Sick bastard.

[GoBogi]

Look what happened when people developed alot of fear in the markets. They took all their money out and the economy went to crap. These are the types of patterns he is talking about. When people are fearful, they don't invest and instead trade in their assets for dollars. When this happens, the economy goes BAD. Economy depends on people's confidence in the markets, and willingness to invest in said markets. When they don't, the economy suffers quite a bit as a result of this. L2 Economics

[bbburton]

Just what we need, the mother of all pollsters now deciding to tell us all what the future holds, all based on their polling. Give me a break. This is the same organization that main stream media types are using to predict who will be the next president of the US. Gallup World Poll, give it a rest.

[holystrawberry]

this makes sense...your thoughts, your mind shapes your destiny, believe it or not, doesn't matter. this law works anyway, like gravity...

[bigmac2005]

i cant take women seriuosly, i just think about jizzing in their face

[bigmac2005]

soon they will want to find out our psychological profile, and put chips in our brains to read our fucking minds and predict our purchases.

we are not lab rats

enough of the control !

[delatroy]

This is the biggest load of bollox I have ever seen.

[Bigjuicybuck]

It's a fact, 80% of the Chinese and Indians (while standing next to a long deep trench with an AK-47 pointed at their head) claimed they didn't have any fear yesterdy.

[Bigjuicybuck]

Greenspan is the ugliest hollow eyed jewish dirtbag ever!

[makedonas82]

MACEDONIA was,is and will be GREEK

MACEDONIA=GREECE

FYROM=VARDASCA

[BuStFaCe]

When I look at her my economic indicator goes up. What a hottie.

[Sagitarius54]

We are stupid, Say that over and over and think about it! Every thing you buy comes from a giant corp. We are to stupid to make anything but a web page!

[concerned00citizen]

He works for big business, international corporations, and most of all BANKERS. America first! Why do Americans have to continually have their standard of living to enhance the standards for other countries? Have we lost the will to survive??

[patiencepays]

Excluding food and shelter from the feds 2% inflation comfort zone has never made sense to me. Given these are obviously the core necessities for a comfortable life.

[ToddBoyle]

The technical production is great, and yasmin yasoughian has great tits.

[ou8one2forme]

Hey progaganda at it's finest.. Gage our FEAR FACTORS.. hummm

What's next, Biometric Idcards a.k.a. NATIONAL ID cards(MANDATORY by BUSH for 2008), or maybe a Spychip -a.k.a. VERAMED chip. By the way if your dog is chipped or a family member - REMOVE IT- Sept. 9th, Heath research PROVED it causes cancer.. and our FDA approved this.. without having this study..

[SILVER0BUG]

These emotions are the result of the boom and busts, the business cycle, caused by monetary policy. You want an economic indicator to follow? Follow monetary policy. You will need a third party to do so, as the FED stopped publishing M3 money supply, and their CPI numbers are an all-out fabrication.

[Bigjuicybuck]

what a bunch of jewish bullsh!t.

[EFrizell]

Listen..'scoop so low' worked for me: as in reach deep in to the barrel to scoop crap (please re-read my original text). Most of the time my little 300 words are loaded with meaning.

[Danicokel]

The revision of the interest rate is another dog and pony show to delude the common wage laborer into thinking the economy is fine, into spending what he should save and at the same time devaluing his purchasing power so he buys at a premium. All this so a few assholes who learned at Princeton how to make home owner loans into Ponzi scheme hedge funds get away with robbing the poor to give to the rich.

[KungFuCrazyMan]

Considering the world elites feed off of our fear it makes complete sense that they're interested in finding ways to forecast our fear factor.

[Alleyrat001]

What specifically do you mean by, "...feed off of our fear"???

Since we have lots of money and power, it should be easy to make you afraid. If we wanted to. And, wouldn't that be a bad thing for us???

More proof you Democrats don't think.

[KungFuCrazyMan]

Like there's a difference between democrats and republicans? In the end the results are the same. You're an asshole.

[strummaster87]

Correlation does not mean causation.

[EFrizell]

Greenspan and Jon Stewart on the same sentence??!!..I know the Daily Show remains the crap it always was, and remains at the bottom of the barrel ...Alaaaan: Why did you have to scoop so low??? U forgot KH3?

[Danicokel]

EFrizell -- the phrase is "stoop so low" NOT "scoop so low"...haha..but I have to admit, "scoop so low" is pretty funny!

[freedomstates]

This is crap. Of course people are happy when economies are strong. Greenspan is a traitor trying to play it off like he's a doddering old man. He is killing the US dollar purposely to make room for the Amero.

[expert1221]

72% of Polls are Incorrect. A Pole taken shows this to be 62% accurate and 76% innacurate. :)

[gwss76]

Gallup...these are people who try to influence popular belief. Lies. Damned lies. Statistics, indeed.

[dfiendspirits]

Nice Video, good job!

[bxblox]

greenspan... smart, yes. evil, possibly.

[AetiusRomulous]

This is an extremely dangerous tool. Friedmanesque Chicago School economics is built on the premise that market change is best done under brutal, repressive conditions of fear and disorientation. Being able to measure this will allow these people greater access and flexibility in carrying out their radical free market reforms.

[AetiusRomulous]

No wonder Greenspan is excited and if you listen to him, he is delighted to be able to measure fear to gauge wether a policy is working or not. That is not a slip.

[ronpaulrevolution]

The only way out of this mess is Ron Paul.

[bmxlegend23]

Invest in China and you will be rich... like me!

[idelible]

The reason the Chinese and Indian economies are growing is because industry exploits cheap labour there: the fear vs euphoria crap is bullshit.

[trancezustand]

The Federal Reserve has no power anymore, sold to the BIS secretariates and the Financial Services Forum

[Budvb]

Sad thing is polls help the majorities and not the individuals freedoms like it should. We are not free when the Majority always rules because then the minority have no rights! Polls are ok, but should not always be looked at for answers to real problems with real people! When doing so You always hurt the 49% or less of people when doing that You hurt enough people over a long period of time you end up hurting the majority! God Bless Humanity

[thetruth073]

Ron Paul is a "Real Republican" for America like Lincoln was! Search for "Federal Reserve Fraud" and see who runs and owns America, it is not the people but with Ron Paul it can be!

If you have the ability to change something that is wrong in America you must take the responsibility to fix it! Do it for you family your children and grandchildren! VOTE RON PAUL 2008

[rockondon]

dems didnt put us in iraq all the bush tax

cuts are gonna hurt you phony conservative

gay homos soon because were gonna have to pay

for that borrowed money plus interest.what

conservative lives off communist loans?OH

YEAH A PHONY NEO NAZI OOPS MENT NEO CON

911 WAS FAKE

[Zile77]

6 years of uninterupted growth due mainly to Bush's tax cuts. Democraps want to "roll back" those cuts, thus raising taxes back to the levels that caused Bill Clinton's recession. Dems are all about gloom and doom to force bigger and more intrusive government to control the population. Vote against all Demoncraps!

[foxdragoon84]

Um, are you forgetting the TRILLIONS of dollars spent on the war already, the amount of our national debt? The elimination of surplus Bill Clinton left at the end of his last term? Whatever you're smoking I want some of it.

[bxblox]

you think bush was good for the economy? You're delusional, he dug a huge hole, threw us in and is starting to put the dirt back in.

[Danicokel]

Hey EFrizell, what is an 'indiciduel' and what makes them equal? Gosh, I wish I was smart enough to be a Republican.

[cmnsense]

Hey Canadian, give it some time we'll be back on top. Oh, and EFrizell?  That's not how republicans act! Some of your general statements hurt our cause.

[guslingus]

Yeah about 100 years

[cabrone2]

Canadian dollar is today, for the first time in 30 years, worth MORE than the American dollar. Ya! BABY! I could sell my house and buy 4 houses in Seattle! Un fucking believable! You guys having a fire sale or something??

[smac2020]

Great Video and commentary. Greenspan must be under a ton of pressure right now with the drop in the value of the Greenback.

[EFrizell]

Be happier, become a Republican: We love America, we believe ALL indiciduals are equal, we are smarter, we like to work, we are happier.

[CubanExile]

Makes sense, Happy people will do better than unhappy people. i.e. A happy waiter vs a unhappy waiter. A happy banker vs a unhappy banker. THINK POSITIVE ! ! !

[PatriotFact]

I dont think this is what he meant. Nice try though.

[illusionofsafety07]

i think thats exactly what he ment. Greenspan is a very smart man. The law of attraction on a broad spectrum can indicate the potential growth of any society when on a positive wave length. Its backed by quantum physics. I can only imagine what that poll would show in America. It would be the numbers indicated for china but in reverse.....VOTE RON PAUL!

[nielej]

what an amazing comment from Mr. Greenspan. I don't think he has been that direct in his life. Anxious to see more from Gallup on how they are measuring this.
