Thomas Hoenig (Former Fed Governor): US Banks Undercapitalized; Unsafe


Bottoms Up Line: For the 4th Month global manufacturing is collapsing as we speak, unemployment is rising in Europe and in the U.S., retail sailes declining, factory orders tumbling, exports falling!

QE doesn't do much for Japanese and European exports anymore because people can't lend so can't spend anymore.

Peoples wages are declining and private debt is collapsing and is taking the 70%+ depending consumer economy down with it. This debt problem is destroying society.

Austerity in the form of higher taxes, like gas taxes and unexpected Obamacare bills (the Un-Afordable Care Act), make things even worse. Indeed the American consumer will never be back.

Blowback from the strengthening dollar is grossly underestimated, as is the blowback from sustaining lower oil prices, the blowback from the Californian drought, the blowback from ultra low rates, the blowback from U.S. waged wars around the globe, the blowback from the toxic dollar,  the blowback from the whole Greece affair and so on and so forth ...

The Four Chartsmen Of The Recession
15 April 2015, by Tyler Durden (Zero Hedge)
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-15/four-chartsmen-recession

[windyacres]

RHM  One of the acronyms I use when I
have a talk with DH about the economy right now.
Rat Hole Money (RHM) because when this beast
crashes you'll need a safety net to ride it out. 
BTDT in the crash of 2008 on.   I read all the
financial articles here, log off for the night,
de-frag my brain and compute  all the info into
memory and last night thinking about all the articles
RHM  came out of nowhere, that intuition, that
inner voice , what ever you want to call it, so it's beef
up the RHM even more. 

And...while I'm talking about it, we save loose one dollar
bills ($1)  they add up fast, tuck them away, don't touch them
unless you really need them for an unexpected emergency, they
come in real handy!    Last night my RHM intuition even told me
to tuck away loose $5 bills and let them grow.    Everything helps,
though it might seem small at the time, it's big once they add up.
Just part of my methodology here at the windy acres....

^WHERE’S THERE A CRASH? WORLD ECONOMY COLLAPSING!!! -  HEADLINES APRIL 2015 FINAL^

[Geolibertarian]

Ask yourself the following:

In a world overflowing with both wealth and labor-saving technology, how ridiculously absurd is it that we're still having to hear over and over again about how economic Armageddon is just around the corner?

And about how imposing brutal austerity measures on those least able to defend themselves is part of the "solution" to this banker-engineered depression?
