Tabs is right. We're Domed

I will confess to not having been following this economic indicator, but it seems to be an important one.

Is this what we have been reduced to arguing over how the word "doomed: is spelt. The truth is
that this divisive arguing is a distraction that keeps you from realizing and defining the truth of the matter. It makes you as part of American society sound and act like children in a school yard.

It does not matter if you take part in the divisiveness directly or not, you AQUISE to the continuance of it. Which makes you culpable little children as well as you get to have to deal with the ramifications and effects of that continued arguing.

The US Government is on track for a 1T USD deficit this year. New debt...

As I poke around Zero Hedge there are a lot of perceptions articulated that sound just like what I have been saying for years..Maybe it takes a two by four to the side of the head for the dummies to catch on...They are slowoooooooooooooo,

As far as I am concerned the Bell has been rung, the Book has been closed and the Candle has been quenched.

There are lots of financial guys out there who like Jehova Witnesses keep setting an imminent date for a crash.

I am not quite like that...i do tell ya things are not right and it is going to come to a bad outcome.

All the others have plants in the US, or simply don't sell in the US.

And now sell more cars in China.

If you want advice about marriage, ask successfully married people. If you want advice about becoming bankrupt, get advice from someone who has done it a lot of times.

Close the US markets and the EU will dry.up and blow away like dust in the wind. Then pull the US military presence and you get to deal with Puttie. He will make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Reality boy deal with reality. The US has been propping up the EU for decades...the good ole USA keeps you employed by buying your crap and defends you so that you can have your social welfare system which is paid for with the monies that you would otherwise have to spend on defense.

The US consumes 20% of what the world produces. Cut every foreign economy by 20% and see what happens to it.

The US can divert its work force to domestic production. Then much of what the US exports is agriculture, shut that down and the rest of the world starves.

Fk it, it is every man for themselves.

Tell the Mexicans and Hosers to pack up and go home. We don't need em. They are a bunch of taco eating and La Batt swilling leeches anyway.
