Maybe money velocity is down because people are uncertain during the era of a government that could do anything because it rejects the general principles of property rights and the free market! But to Bernanke it's a money problem - because there's a graph for that!
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So it is with monetarists, I believe.

The author fails o recognize the distinction between "money" and "currency". They are not the same.
What he posted may apply to currency, but not money.

They have self, they are just not aware of it.
Or they have rejected it.

In what I read of it the biggest red flag was the claim that the number had been previously issued to someone else, deceased. SS#s don't get reissued. If true that would be problematic.
I could be FOS, but I believe I read that they do get reissued after a given period of "fallow". This likely would only happen in particularly populous states. Non-authoritative, YMMV.

I'll respond to this in full sometime well after lunch.

I wonder if they took the bike racks away as well. Given that most bike racks are tubular steel of a larger diameter than the bikes themselves, that would seem to be a much more advantageous place to hide a bomb than the bikes.
Sorry, this was a stupid and ill-conceived move by the NYPD/Secret Service/whoever.

For a long while, Steve McIntyre has been saying the that so-called "hockey stick" is faulty, based on statistical techniques used. Now, the president of Britain's Royal Statistical Society is saying the same thing.
He appears to have hedged himself out of any firm conclusions though.

IIRC, the Fed is constrained by law to only purchase securities backed by the full faith and credit of the US. Not sure a strip mall qualifies.

When I saw the topic, I thought "this couldn't possibly refer to global warming.. no one is that insane."
This is one where you really hated being proved wrong, no doubt.

Though why there would be a picture of Jesus with a beer in a cursive writing textbook is beyond me... I don't see how it was necessary.
Well, "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" was determined to be NFG, due to its glorification of marijuana, an illegal substance. Beer, on the other hand, is legal....

Are we willing to let the perfect become the enemy of the good?

There is no logic to this. If something is perfectly healthy, we dismantle it?
Is this not the "logic" behind AntiTrust?

... The scuttlebutt is that the closing of those dealerships is hurting Republicans disproportionately to Democrats. Turns out that most independent dealerships are run by Republicans and are often in Republican districts. So the claim is that closing those dealerships is politically motivated, especially since at least some of those dealerships were highly profitable even in today's economic climate. Of course, since the foxes are running the hen house, they will claim that it wasn't politically motivated.
This is interesting. Do you have some background on this?

Their "caving" to political pressure is likely to promote some longer-term unintended(?) consequences: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124217356836613091.html

What, a party member stabbing his own leadership in the back for political gain? That never happens.

Tey reading it in the context of the enumerated material. Failing thattry expanding either your horizons or your mentality
The person before you seemed not to have a problem. with my main propositions
The person before Kendall had a problem, but seemed to translate it properly.
Kendall has a point - your writing style seems to be of one who is trying to be clever rather than clear. Additionally, your penchant for typos and strange grammar also tend to detract from your message. If you are trying to impart a view, all that "gilding of the lily" is unnecessary.

FWIW, I believe Anthem is now in the public domain.

Meanwhile time grinds slowwwwwwwwwly by towards late August and the retrun of real Football.
I am soooooooo with you there.
I also concur on the season length. It is a rare athlete that can survive a whole season now. More "real" games will all-but guarantee more injuries.

It's just that this is what you get when you mix mysticism and integrity
Mysticism + integrity = null value.
Unfortunately, it seems the Orren Boyle's far outnumber the Hank Rearden's in this world.

I don't think China would take too kindly to N. Korea being blown off the map.
All the more reason for them to rein him in, no?
Post-9/11, any attack MUST be answered swiftly and with extreme malice. Any leader that tries to "parse" a response will become instantly marginalized. They wouldn't dare risk that.

I don't have any specific investment advise to give, especially after losing money in a bull market, but to give an indication of how difficult it is to forecast the market, almost two weeks ago a friend of mine got a professional alert that the market was going to tank big time -- and it has been up ever since. So, if you can find a way to make money in the stock market, my hat is off to you
Indicators (mostly in the bond market) are still pointing to a big-time dip in the stock market. What we have now is a bear market rally - merely a bump in the road down.
I, too, am investing a small amount in gold, but only a small amount. What I see is more of a deflationary event on the horizon. If correct, gold will drop in value (along with everything else but cash). So the gold is merely a hedge.
FWIW, I am also investing in a firearm and some ammo. Also a hedge going the other way.

Oh, protestants are into circumcision too. (In fact, I've never seen one otherwise.)
Perhaps you need to expand your circle of contacts.

ehh...there's nothing special there. That commercial is pretty typical Obama rhetoric.
Which, in and of itself, is disgusting.

Gee, I wonder how they propose to attain that level of decrease....

Do not confuse your college experiences with real life. Many of those smart asses will get slapped back into reality when they graduate, and are expected to do more than just try to be funny.
Face it, thinking about stuff in these terms (those of one who is philosophically oriented) is sometimes difficult. Most will avoid such labors. Those that don't will determine the future path of humanity.
