Previously on "Inflation and raising interest rates"
It's quite clear to every man and his dog that the public is being manipulated. Who has gained from saving the banks? It's made to sound like we are the beneficiaries, but in fact we all know that it is us who are paying to keep the financial system afloat.
It would have been more painful but far, far quicker to just let the system unwind itself and let the banks go bust. A bit like an injection at the doctor's rather than contracting the disease.
So we'll pay. We'll pay in higher taxes, in lower wages, in cost-of-living increases, in higher interest rates, in rising unemployment. We'll pay in ever decreasing standards of living. It's like the 70s all over again.
I guess in the future we'll just be known as 'that generation'.
The global financial system ain't going to crash and we're not all rushing to make withdrawals.
What do you think.
Oh and morning to you too, young Benes.
What do I think ?
For me, the jury is out on this at the moment
Watching, working, waiting
You see, I won't feel that we can all relax until Joe Bloggs can get back to his comformatable
state of buying new plasma tv's every winter and holidaying on the Costa's in the summer.
Once Joe Bloggs is spending I'll feel more comfortable.
Until Joe Bloggs is spending, I will continue to wonder with uncertainty what is going on, and when is it going to end, while in parallel doing my best to keep myself in the highest paying graft which I can find and subsequently not squandering the rewards but parking them in vehicles which have the best possibility to have strong defenses against inflation while maintaining a balance of having a pleasant lifestyle for the Mrs, the wee ones and oneself.
all this money which is being printed and quantatively eased,why isn't it being used for infrastructure projects and creating employment and getting into the hands of the ones who drive the economy ?
Milan.
Because that wouldn't stop faith in the global banking system being eroded.
