Now compare that with Bankruptcies, foreclosures and economic stress and you get a pretty good idea of current effects. What you don’t get is a discernable trend for tommorrow because derivatives, T-bill/ bond market futures and the mood of domestic and foreign investors are not yet reported or fully understood. But when the Federal government begins buying it’s own debt, then look out. because no one else will. The next play is extreme hyper-inflation of the currency.

The Business Section asked readers for ideas on “How Would You Fix the
Economy?” I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President:

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the
money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following
stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings -
Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered-
Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that! If more money is needed, have all
members of Congress pay all their taxes…..
