Sorry, but you are NOT looking at it from a macroeconomic standpoint. You are looking at it from a POLITICAL standpoint - and making economic judgements based on your POLITICAL philosophy.

http://bigpicture.typepad.com/commen...tive_ratio.PNG Something to think about. But I know you wont so something for everyone else to think about.

The pridiction is bottom in 2013. but that is if it takes 14 years to bottom out this time like it did the last two times. it could take longer or shorter based on policy dicisions.

More ignorant silliness.
What does the GS situationl have to do with Intel's sales and profits being up?
What does it have to do with Caterpillar's sales and profits being up?
The S&P is NOT GS.

You are just thrashing around looking for SOME reason why economy will collapse.

There you go - pushing gold again.
How many times do you do that a day?
How many times a week?
Do you get PAID to do that?

The banks provide the money for all of those changes you are talking about take the money away and the floor drops out of the economy.

Getting paid to push gold? No way. It is just an easy way to look at the value of the dollar and the value of the stock at the same time.

That's true (and that's why the economy collapsed back in 2008) - but the damage to the banks was ALREADY DONE - and has since been mitigated.
The GS case is NOT talking about something happening TODAY. It's about what GS did at the height of the housing bubble - when it was pumping out these securities.

Actually, he has stated several times, this turn around in the economy has been paying him well. And, he is not alone.

Goldman Sachs accused of fraud and GE( owner of MSNBC) pays zero taxes, according to Drudge. Obama sure can pick 'em. I'm surprised Obama hasn't pardoned Bernard Madoff and made him a finance Czar.
