What's Your Reaction To The Fiscal Cliff Agreement?...from TPC
This is my response to the question 'What's your reaction to the fiscal cliff agreement'? My opinion ends with the phrase G-D help us all!
Read it at The Political Commentator here.

Useful or Useless?................from Rico
If you ask almost any "low information" US person you will be regaled with their media-induced 'opinion' of Sandy Hook and Gun Control.
- In another time and place they would be called "useful idiots."
None of these morons can tell you one thing about Gun Walker, and even fewer can find that toddlin' town Chicago on a map ...much less explain how it can be possible that in a city where law abiding citizens cannot legally own a gun, 532 people were murdered (a little over seven a day) in 2012.
Not that there is any "agenda" in the MSM or the current Democratic (C) regime.
- I call them "useless idiots."
Will The Real Mohamed Morsi Please Stand Up..................from Dan Friedman
By now it’s a rhetorical question, but what is Obama thinking?
Classic! Timeless!..............from Rico
Gee, THANKS Congress for 'saving' everyone in the US from the bogeyman of the 'Fiscal Cliff!' You deserve a raise! (Oh wait, Barry just gave you one.) Americans were obviously too 'skeered' to look under the bed for themselves, and took your 'word' for it that some sorta monster lurked there. Suckers. Mugs. Timeless comedy rampant.
- And just like with Obamacare, you didn't even 'read' the pork-stuffed law you enacted (well, you only had three minutes from receiving the bill to voting on it).
The consequences? Debt and spending were NOT addressed, much less resolved.
- One notes that while 80% will now pay MORE taxes to the Federal Government, and middle earners take the biggest proportional tax "hit." The result? "No Hawaiian vacations for YOU!" [In my best Seinfeld soup-Nazi voice.]
This at a time when US median net worth is the lowest since 1969 (after Barry's first term which 'shrank' US family net worth 38%), it looks a lot like the classic game of Communists vs. Kulaks.
- While 'saying' things like 'fair share' and 'eat the rich' what this Marxist cabal is actually 'doing' is 'killing the middle class.'
America will not look the same without them, and is approaching the status of Amerika rapidly.
- You will not like it.

The Cover, not the Cause. Again.................from Rico
It's hard to take the Financial Media with any seriousness these days, not with a grain of salt, nor even a mouthful.
I'm reading absolute drivel like "Gold Tanks After Fed Minutes."
- Puh-lease!!!
NO, this was merely (a) "cover" for, (b) an "excuse" for, (c) the "signal" for (pick one, several, or all of the preceeding) the USUAL, expected, typical, orchestrated, pre-planned Cartel paper raid on the spot markets timed around the NFP release (which happens tomorrow...and YES, I already had my calendar 'flagged' many days ago for both events: "NFP report & expect RAID").
Only a moron, or the bought-and-paid-for CFTC regulators could not have 'seen' this coming. Again.
- Forgive the redundancy.
PJTV: The Fiscal Cliff Drama Played Like A Saturday Morning Cartoon
The fiscal cliff negotiations unfolded like an episode of the Road Runner, except in this episode, the Road Runner was played by the private sector, and Wylie E. Coyote was played by the federal government. Hear more about how the Republicans negotiated a deal that resulted in more debt and higher taxes, on this ZoNation.

PJTV: Credibility Cliff: Americans Have Lost Faith in Their Government
President Obama, the Republican controlled congress and Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) hammered out a compromise on fiscal cliff: Higher taxes, increased debt and more spending. Is America so apathetic that voters do not care about the future of the American balance sheet? Will voters kick both incumbent Democrats and Republicans out of office? Scott Ott, Steve Green and Bill Whittle discuss the fiscal cliff deal on this episode of Trifecta.
Who Will Stop Hagel, Gays or Jews?.................from Dan Friedman
Now that Obama has revived the possibility that Chuck Hagel will be his choice for Secretary of Defense, Mr. Hagel must be prepared to overcome at least two obstacles if in fact he gets Obama’s nod. First, while still a Senator, Hagel apparently twisted some gay noses out of joint. A big no-no in today’s political correct society with its gay-approved military. Then there are the Jews - or more precisely - the “Jewish lobby,” which then-Senator Hagel said “intimidates a lot of people up here,” but not him because “I’m a United States senator. I’m not an Israeli senator.”
Whether either of the two offended constituencies, or a combination thereof, is angry enough or strong enough to put the kibosh on Hagel remains to be seen. Though one thing is certain. Gays and Jews lost much of their leverage by being all in for Obama in November. Being taken for granted is never smart politics.

UP or DOWN, it depends................from Rico
Looking at this chart of Gold vs. Fiat currencies for the past decade, probably the first thing one 'sees' is the double-digit 'rise' in the price of Gold in all currencies represented.
- That is exactly what all the Central Bankers want you to 'see' and that is how the public has been 'conditioned' to see things.
BUT.
- An ounce of Gold remains an ounce of Gold. It is constant. Unlike fiat currency, it can not be debauched and debased, which is why the Keynesians (bankers and politicians alike) hate it so. It does not change like their funny money does. It cannot be 'gamed' by the crooks.
Look at it instead as 'this is the decline in the purchasing power of these currencies against the constant value of gold in the last decade."
- This is the amount of purchasing power LOST across fiat currencies in the past decade, and this is what you are NOT supposed to 'see' or 'think' because taking this view robs the Central Bankers of their power to rob you.
So, is the price of Gold UP, or is the value of Fiat money DOWN?
- In my view, holding Fiat for the past ten years has been a losing proposition and things are not about to change for Fiat. Got Gold yet?
