Hiding Bear Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I/10 PPI ex food and energy 1/10 Government stats who cares They mean nothing More lies BUTT(_)_) ... The trade gap widened by a surprising 19.1 percent to a record $55.8 billion, marking the largest one-month percentage worsening of the trade gap since February 1999. In dollar terms, the widening of the trade deficit was a record. Wall Street had forecast the deficit would widen slightly to $46.9 billion from the initial May estimate of $46.0 billion. Now we see how Crude Earl is gobbling a hole in the nation's finances. They can jigger the PPI, but they can't hide the need to borrow close to $2 billion a day. This ship is going down ... The balance of payments deficit is running at a $750 billion annual pace now. Wow! So far, Japan and the Chinas are picking up all the $s they obtain in their trade with the US - but will OPEC members and the rest of the world be so kind as to keep accumulating all the $s they receive? On another subject, US domestic money supply measure are still stagnating after 10 weeks. Liquidity is being sucked away by various factors. The outlook for the market near term remains grim. PS - Great rant yobob1. It's going to be a Freaky Friday the 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Perfect timing by King George to float the concept of a consumption tax to replace income taxes. That's the pitch. But the income tax is written into the constitution now, and they'll keep the vestiges of it on the statute books. Then the next "emergency" comes along (war, typically), and we repeat the 20th century 'progression': 1913 - income tax for the richest 1%; "working man will never pay" 1943 - withholding instituted to take income tax from workers' paychecks 1960s - even minimum wage teenagers in hamburger stands are taxed Lie to me I promise I'll believe - Sheryl Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the reasons I'm very leery about a flat tax, a veritable "wolf in sheep's clothing"; once all deductions are eliminated, what is to prevent the politicians from jacking up the rates?

Guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Just over at the beach checking one the status of the weather. Hazy, humid and windy out of the southeast here in Lauderdale. It seems to me that the majority of the devestation from Charley is actually going to come to the Carolinas up to Virgina...as the first storm headed their way will fully saturate the ground, and when Charley comes 36 hours later - the flooding will be epic. They'd better be emptying reservoirs and evacuating the lowlands soon. Got Ark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 As for taxation...the biggest gift in the system available to most of us is the allowance for a tax-free windfall by flipping homes every two years. Any discussion of repealing that baby and the housing bubble explodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
