I can believe the first two images. If unemployment has been steadily decreasing why are wages still so shit? Most jobs pay the same today that they did eight fucking years ago.

And I keep hearing that inflation is flat but I keep seeing prices go up. That doesn't really jive.

no it is not true..

>>662749
Because they aren't an accurate measure.
>>662789
Not any time in the foreseeable future.

>>662762

what the shit are you talking about? is that number the number of credit swap obligations on banks books that the FDIC might have to come up with?

The credit swaps are supposed to be on the bank holding side of the house so that the FDIC doesn't cover them. some loonies like to make shit up though and come up with graphs like that.

why would you just post a graph like that with no explanation?

>>662789
I don't see that happening any time in the foreseeable future.
Our next president(s) will probably have a more balanced budget.
Obama is just doing what any black man with a high limit credit card would do. He thinks it's free money.

This is a ligitimate-ish graph, though the tail end has been manipulated.

the extremely low money velocity would point to deflationary currents in the market. commodities decreasing...

All your graphs are shit except for this one.. which is still manipulated.

But this is the one that worries real economists and its the one that the public doesn't know about because all the anchors and producers at all the corporate owned media outlets have NO IDEA what the velocity of money is.

it is really low, and this should have people worried.

velocity of money is the primary reason that the fed should not be raising rates.

well ok thx ,bro.

Unfunded liabilities refers to things like government pensions, medicare, etc that have already been promised but for which future money has not been allocated yet. Underfunded pensions and social security are good examples.

The problem with unfunded liabilities is how easoly the number can be manipulated. Lower interest rates here, higher expected rate of return because stocks only go up up up, earlier deaths there, look, we are contributing enough after all! It's a sham.

Nothing to do with banks either way.

there is a huge difference between liabilities that are due this year, which we will have to cover and rolling debt obligations which are due 10 and 20 and 30 years into the future.

that is a shit-tastic chart and you know it.

hive mind , lol. The foreseeable future, u saying?
Is it two weeks or so?

Are you retarded? They literally just took the government CPI-U and added exactly 3%. across the board.

I can believe the first two images. If unemployment has been steadily decreasing why are wages still so shit?
We need a shortage of labor to force a rise in wages.


And I keep hearing that inflation is flat but I keep seeing prices go up. That doesn't really jive.

Both unemployment and inflation numbers have been manipulated for 30 years-employment kicks people off the rolls and doesn't count part time workers and inflation is based on favorable benchmarks.

Your whole post is retarded and I'm too drunk to tell you why, but just FYI it's "jibe" and not "jive"

>>662849
I meant like 20+ years

>US government
>default

lol no

as far as countries go the US's debt situation is not that bad. While the US has stagnation it's not facing a depression like china does, who themselves have like 200% debts from their 00s building binrge

>>662761
Still pays twice as much as western Europe.
