shorty Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 SHUT IT DOWN! Economically beleaguered Michigan faces a possible government shutdown - shuttering highway rest areas, state parks, construction projects, the state lottery, and the legislature's coed escort service - if lawmakers fail to reach a budget deal in the next few days. The state with the nation's highest unemployment rate has a nearly $3 trillion shortfall. Federal recovery act money printing will fill more than half the gap, but the spending cuts or tax increases needed to fill the rest have caused bitter knifefighting at the state Capitol.

quanta Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The Season of the Witch Yeah, yeah, yeah we all know he repeats the same mantra ad infinitum, but you gotta love the prose: In my father's house are many mansions. Surely one of them has a room with no elephants in it.... Not to crunch too many metaphors right here at the top, but a consensus seems to be firming up in the animate jello of the Internet that we have entered the Season of the Witch. An odor of ripeness fills the virtual air -- something between dead carp and apples baking. Whatever else appears to be going on in the upper stories and verdigris-tinged turrets of capital finance -- currency rackets, gold switcheroos, interest rate arbitrage games, concealment of losses under rugs and behind curtains, Chinese fire drills performed by Spanish prisoners, executive three-card-monte set-ups, boardroom work-arounds, accounting quicksteps, Peter-to-Paul-shuffles, check kitings, pigeon drops, Ponzi schemes, hugger-muggers, bezels, shucks, jives, and enough monkeyshines to make Lord Greystroke cry for mercy -- apart, in other words, from business-as-usual, such as it is these days, on Wall Street, there is a rising collective sense of anxious expectation that things are about to shake loose in the sad-ass shell of what remains of our economy. And the most perplexing part is that there hardly seems any safe place to preserve one's savings.

Looks like big dollar developments coming to a head initially in late fall, and remaining in general crisis in 2010. Jul/Aug 2010 in particular looks real gnarly.

And the poor and middle class get poorer.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090928/ap_on_...nsus_income_gap Household income declined across all groups, but at sharper percentage levels for middle-income and poor Americans. Median income fell last year from $52,163 to $50,303, wiping out a decade's worth of gains to hit the lowest level since 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
