under utilisation of production capital because people can’t afford ...

 

A dude named Marx said pretty much the same thing many many years ago. Both he and Brendan are pretty smart dudes!

The US is stuffed. An economy that can’t add jobs despite 0% interest rates (and yes I know employment is a lagging indicator), real unemployment closer to 20% than the reported 9.7%, (www.shadowstats.com), under utilisation of production capital because people can’t afford the constant cycle of new knick knacks (and realise they don’t need most of it)...California bankrupt but not legally allowed to declare it, many other states in a similar boat. Tax revenues down, two wars overseas plus all the US military bases to maintain. Property prices still falling. The middle class disappearing at the expense of the rich.

They say the bank bailout was necessary to avoid all the social unrest etc, but all it’s done is perpetuate the same problems in the system.

Good points. People have said that what we're seeing now is the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history.

Nice linkage :)
 
"In the midst of this paralysis, the President was asked about the giant pay packages of Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase & Co. ($17 mullion for 2009) and Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs ($9 million). "First of all, I know both those guys," Obama said. "They're very savvy businessmen. And I, like most of the American people, don't begrudge people success or wealth. That's part of the free market system."
Free market system? As I remember it, American taxpayers forked out hundreds of billions to keep JPMorgan, Goldman, and other big Wall Street banks afloat through most of 2009. Had we not done so, Dimon, Blankfein, and most other top executives on Wall Street would not have earned a dime last year. In fact, some would be out on the street, reather than sitting pretty on the Street."
 
Can I have a refund? People really do have short memories...or are just too dumb to know what actually happened...

There are Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead(heads), 

and there are the Beautiful Dead. Who also need their own flavor of ice cream.

 

a joke: 

Okay, so there was once a rich guy* who stole from and otherwise managed to financially break most everyone in the village. When the mayor was asked what he thought about that, the mayor answers thus, "Yeah; hey, firstly, I know the guy - and he is smart; shrewd. I am sure the villagers will not begrudge him his money that he makes; I know I don't. I mean, c'mon, it's 'bizniss.'  Wass'amattuh wi' you?" (2nd paragraph)
