This doesn't beat my favorite Clinton-related rumor. Someone working at White House had allegedly seen Bill and Hill decorating a Christmas tree... WITH CONDOMS AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA! DAH! DAH! DAH!

Seriously, I still wonder if anyone, anyone took that seriously.

quote: Originally posted by Jules I'm assuming Ned was referring to Paul Krugman's approach to fighting Japanese deflation by raising expectations of future inflation. The effect of this is to push the real interest rate below zero, thereby stimulating investment spending. The same approach could be applied here in the United States if there is a serious risk of deflation.

The are only two problems:

1. Liquidity trap
2. Global trading - just because I invest doesn't mean I want to invest in Japan, say.

Urban Ranger, is the liquidity trap related to nominal or real interest rates? Could you provide some explanation?

Second, do you have any idea how to get real interest rates negative in a deflationary environment?

Many intellectual liberals think this way, because there is some truth to it. Cheney obviously thinks this way since he claimed executive priviledge, something that is only reserved for Presidents and not Vice Presidents. If Cheney has nothing to hide why doesn't he come clean?

You will believe what you want GP. You are a reactionary conservative and Clinton hater to the core. Nothing I write or any link that I post will change your mind. I only posted it to show an alternate pov to counter all of the unconditional hate of Clinton and the unconditional love of Bush. Calling me a liberal is not an insult and calling any accusation that you disagree with nutty and blaming everything on Clinton will not change the truth. The truth will eventually come out, but by that time, nobody will care.

You remind me of the French guy we had here who tried to argue that the American Revolution was an imitation of the French one. He didn't care for that Anglo-Saxon concept of llinear time...

quote: Originally posted by Ned On the way home tonight, I heard on Shawn Hanity's (Sp?) show a guest, I don't know his name, who said he had an Arkansas trooper, I believe, who was in a room with others trooper when Hillary burst in and said that her husband had tried to rape Juanita Broderick. She called her a *****. She then organized a coverup - this occurred when Clinton was running for governor the first time. The caller said he would see if he could get the trooper to come on Shawn's show. Why am I not surprised that Hillary is a criminal.

I also read that space aliens landed in the white house a few days ago from some tabloid.

Why am I not surprised?

Enron was a major contributor to Bush's gubanitorial campaign (as well as his presidential campaigns). Given that many of these energy trading companies seem to be based in Texas, it wouldn't surprise me if Bush had his hands in the dirty business, since it would help the Texas economy. Course, I don't see any reason why they would involve the governor when they could just do it themselves. And Cheney was too busy making money off selling and buying to Iraq to be involved with California.

Heck why blame Simon or Davis or the CA legislature (including their whole gnatcatcher-loving, anti-power policy for decades). You can time-transport Bush and Cheney and make it their fault.

Actually, the gnat-catcher lovers in the legislature ain't so bad (CEQA's really not that difficult), it's more the Cal Energy Commision (which has no real apparent reason for existence) process and all the local BANANAs who come out of the woodwork during local discretionary permit hearings.

The gnatcatcher thing is more just something I heard from biotech stuff. Lots of those guys on the mesa and in Sorrento, etc. have to worry about em. Plus it just sounds cool to put it down. Almost up there with the snaildarter and the killer bunny rabbit.
