How about GM shutting down more plants?<br /> How about Dupont further cutting staff? How about Microsoft further cutting staff? What if the Chrysler surgical bankruptcy becomes a regular bankruptcy? Damn those bondholders of Chrysler who are pursuing their contractual rights. Who do they think they are? Let’s not forget those that have lost everything and have now fallen out of the social net of unemployment insurance. Think of their anger and disgust as media pumps out the good news of a supposed slowing of the problem when they cannot find jobs no matter how much they try.This suffering means nothing to the TV clowns and money bunnies at<br />Bloomberg and CNBC that welcome us to the new bulls**t bull market.The news that U.S. unemployment has hit 13.7 million, pushing the rate to 8.9 percent, tells only half the story of this recession.The total number of Americans who are not working full-time but ought to be is actually about 22 million, or 15.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Who are those other 8.3 million Americans? Call them the unofficially unemployed.<br />As the Bureau releases the monthly unemployment figure, it does not include many out-of-work Americans.The bureau, which is under the Labor Department, cannot use unemployment compensation records to count the out-of-work, because they are not reliable or up-to-date enough. The bureau also cannot count every out-of-work person. <br />“In the case of the monthly jobs report, the Labor Department contacts 60,000 households to determine the unemployment picture for the entire workforce, which consists of about 154 million Americans.”<br />Let’s hear a round of applause for the Greenwich, CT OTC derivative manufacturers and distributors who hold total karmic responsibility. This is a debt that will not be bailed out. They have changed a normal modest two to four year recession into a financial disaster that will probably be the biggest of all in written and oral history. When they did it they had to know this would happen.judge allslophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853039694168415983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14007337.post-17947029313012535322009-05-10T07:36:00.000-07:002009-05-10T07:36:00.000-07:00The battle is on.

The USDollar is voting NO confidence to the sham bank sector claims of viability. In a bizarre exercise intended to defend legitimacy, the bankers are engaged in a complex game of propaganda. They pressured the USCongress to relieve Wall Street from the chains of FASB Rule #157, and the senators & representatives obeyed their paying masters. The result has been a baseless stock rally led by insolvent banks that have lied desperately about their capital and earnings.The bank sector Stress Tests clearly are a sham designed to restore confidence after accounting rules were eliminated. USFed Chairman Bernanke continues to make inept comments about the problems centering upon bank liquidity, when solvency remains their plague issue, and will continue to be the main flaw. He claims the Stress Tests were extraordinarily detailed, yet they relied on ridiculously soft economic stress factors from months ago.The announced audited Citigroup profit of $1.6 billion in the first quarter was actually a deep $2.5 billion loss, provided the $4.1 billion in gimmickry was removed. The gimmicks pertained to toxic assets valued at fictitious model, shell games on loss reserves management, and illicit debt markdowns on the balance sheet. The end result is the global financial markets are losing faith in the US$-based system, since the US is regressing in backward steps rather than working towards a remedy.The cancer of Lower Manhattan most assuredly will force its metastasis across the nation and into its banks.judge allslophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853039694168415983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14007337.post-24033874375437343532009-05-09T08:34:00.000-07:002009-05-09T08:34:00.000-07:00The spin and lies continue.

Citigroup stock was also a big winner after the government's curious declaration that it "only" needs to raise $5 billion. While much of the focus is on the stress tests and banks' efforts to raise cash, the real story is Geithner's Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP), says William Black, an Associate Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri - Kansas City.The PPIP is the "greatest boondoggle in the history of the world," says Black, a former bank regulator who was counsel to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board during the S&L crisis. As occurred during the S&L era, Black says the PPIP will allow banks to exchange "trash for cash" and turn "real losses into faulty gains<br /><br />By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer Anne Flaherty, Associated Press Writer – Sat May 9, 7:29 am ET<br />WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve could become the supercop for "too big to fail" companies capable of causing another financial meltdown under a proposal being seriously considered by the White House.<br />The Obama administration told industry officials on Friday that it was leaning toward making such a recommendation, according to officials who attended a private one-hour meeting between President Barack Obama's economic advisers and representatives from about a dozen banks, hedge funds and other financial groups.Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other officials made it clear they were not inclined to divide the job among various regulators as has been suggested by industry and some federal regulators. Geithner told the group that one organization needs to be held responsible for monitoring systemwide risk."Committees don't make decisions," said Geithner, according to one participant.judge allslophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853039694168415983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14007337.post-36661048563189258212009-05-07T20:14:00.000-07:002009-05-07T20:14:00.000-07:00Well said "good and faithful servant", the beast i...Well said "good and faithful servant", the beast is about to be exposed.

Look who’s running it.<br />By Eliot Spitzer<br />Posted Wednesday, May 6, 2009, at 12:29 PM ET<br />The kerfuffle about current New York Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Stephen Friedman’s purchase of some Goldman stock while the Fed was involved in reviewing major decisions about Goldman’s future-well-covered by the Wall Street Journal here and here-raises a fundamental question about Wall Street’s corruption. Just as the millions in AIG bonuses obscured the much more significant issue of the $70 billion-plus in conduit payments authorized by the N.Y. Fed to AIG’s counterparties, the small issue of Friedman’s stock purchase raises very serious issues about the competence and composition of the Federal Reserve of New York, which is the most powerful financial institution most Americans know nothing about.judge allslophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853039694168415983noreply@blogger.com
