The Global Lubricant: Sweet Crude
As the months pass and the U.S. economy continues its steady march toward systemic hibernation, Americans continue to endure a rather peculiar form of insurgent warfare; global-economic warfare.
Gone are the days when a U.S. President, ensconced safely upon the bully-pulpit, can lecture the American public on their excesses, the scarcity of thought and resources or re-engineer public sentiment toward peddle cars, wind-power and toxic-battery hybrids without stirring the ire of suspicion. Even Al Gore was unable to weather the storm of contempt his manufactured carbon-credits market generated or his collusion with climatologist artful interpretation of environmental data.
Fund a Broken System?
The many faces of the political argument surround Monetary Policy makes identifying the core issue virtually impossible unless and until of course one realizes that the core issue is purely political mixed with an equal measure of intellectual dyslexia.
All sorts of sordid affairs and mixed intentions are at work attempting to clutter the various targets of conflict; deficits vs. budget, budget vs. entitlement, entitlements vs. debt and so on. Not unlike the causal forces that stirred action toward bailing out the “to big to fail,” the same rush to errors in judgment are peaking into the view of many who also believe the U.S. Government is also to big to fail. All of which leads me, once again, to the very same question I posed at that time: Why fund a broken system?

Symptoms & Solutions
The U.S. Government continues to ignore the obvious and for many, myself included, there is increased awareness as to the financial carousel of sound-bites, their obvious cross-purposes and the consequent veil that shrouds both the Symptoms & Solutions.
- One day the Markets are up and yet at the same time the Dollar Plunges on world-exchanges whilst the crusade of speculators plunder the Commodities and Futures Markets driving the economic nail of spiraling costs through the heart of the American Public’s diminished reserves. The later, by the way, facilitated by Messrs. Frank and Dodd and their still-born exercise-in-plunder, the Wall Street Reform Bill, which further expanded the terrain and openly licensed this process of predation.

Debt Ceiling Limit: The Cover Story
At the moment, media coverage of the proposed Debt Ceiling Limit increase has taken back stage to the events in Egypt, Obama apparently kicking his smoking-habit and various other mindless up-to-the-minute news snippets. For this reason, I suspended further commentary on the subject until the subject reemerged. Well, at least until today!

The Numbers Lie
“And then, something that once was, once altered has now become something else.”
The tablature of musical arrangements animates a distinct set of tones strategically arranged to orchestrate a melody one that when played, produces a predictable tune. Anyone with a talent for music expects that when they play this arrangement, they will reproduce the same tune. However, change one note, one phrase or meter and the piece and the effort becomes something entirely different.
