America's Bubble Addiction

Who's idiotic idea was it to cover up the charts with a video window of him speaking? I can't see the number on the chart, damn it. It's persistent through the video so far and it sucks.

The CPI is severely compromised to make inflation look lower than it is. It should never be used for anything.

He seems to have completely ignored the massive debt we accumulated and moves right on to capital investments, but that can't happen until the debt is repudiated or paid off.

Don't start with saving? Where does this investment capital come from without savings? We absolutely MUST save so that there IS capital to invest. Savings should go to finance productive capacity and not consumption as has been the last 30 years. There is no "strong dollar" policy and the fed is concentrating on creating inflation, not fighting it. Full employment is a side effect of full production, otherwise full employment would be simple to achieve simply by throwing away all machines.

America should sell Alaska and the Pacific Islands to Asia in order to cover her huge foreign debts.

One of the Best Descriptions of our Financial Implision I've ever seen and I have time to read 24/7 hours a day.

This is a MUST WATCH...It's truly Incredible... Charts, Facts, Figures...and Intellgent commentary about what we've all experienced from NAFTA under Clinton and most of his policies and forward to today.

It's worth the watch...REALLY... And thanks to "Economic Populist" for making it available to us out here.

Thanks for providing this useful information. On another issue, you should consider providing a lavalier microphone for those speakers who have increased mobility. This will provide a more uniform audio level and is much less distracting. Also it is NOT necessary to have the speaker in an overlay box especially when the graphics are so important and so frequently referred to by the speaker. These are small issues, but the aggregate of these factors make a huge difference in communication.

erf...

is it important to recoginize the population bubble, versus the technoligy leverage to complete the same amount work, with less human labor?

so hard to keep things on the level, when the one life I have is shot, for the riches crap shoots in control of wealth...

sorry, hard to keep silent all the time in the peanut gallery, watching the show with no remote

I feel some of the intent is well founded by a few,but it'll be of no use with out consensus
