What happen to simple truths: Don't spend more than you make. Save money for a house, make sure you have a good down payment. Save money to retire, have diverse investments. Why does the government think they are exempt from common sense. The government should not spend more than they bring in and they should limit the taxes on citizens. All taxes always have a negative impact on growth.

Most all government policies are bad by definition.

Moreover, Kudlow and company have audiences they must address.

Wall Street, money managers, and last but not least, the millions of individual investors who are being played for suckers.

During the Great Depression stocks lost about 95% of their value measured from peak to trough. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-far-will-stocks-fall-if-this-is-another-great-depression-2009-2

This time it really is different.

The collapse of the economy was caused by bad government policies combined with out and out sabotage to achieve a political goal. Since then everything that has been done such as massive spending, threats of tax hikes and the like has been calculated to bring the country down farther. How can these learned economists have ever had any kind of positive predictions for the economy or actually talk about how the economy is starting to “bounce back”. It’s a disaster becoming more disasterous on a daily basis. Each month the bad numbers are, (ready now) unexpected. I think the people in the know have been doctoring the numbers to make the left look good for so long that they don’t know how to read the numbers straight and come up with a logical answer to anything.

Hence the phrases jobless economic recovery, job savings, and the summer of economic recovery all make sense when viewed in the context of the motion of Brown and Random Walk and the random noise in the mental giants that lead this nation.

Please ignore my first entry I found some really obvious errors that I have corrected in the posting below

Ilana, another one of my favorite characterizations is Random Walk (or sometimes called the Drunkard’s Walk). Basically Random Walk is the integration of Gaussian random noise. This integration creates a low frequency random process whose standard deviation increases as the time of integration increases. If I remember the theory correctly Random Walk and Brownian motion are mathematically similar. Both Brownian motion and he Drunkard’s Walk are *“apt descriptions of the random, rudderless veering of the political and economic “minds” that bedevil us” as you describe above.

I would guess that the economists who seem unable to foresee the economic future are either blind idiots, or afraid to tell the truth, for some reason, either for fear of making the economic future worse in a self-fulfilling prophecy, or because the lying and treasonous international New World Order conspiracy puppet masters are hiding the fact that they are intentionally trying to destroy the United States.

[No; they are just statist scum, out for themselves, not for any grand, big conspiracy.]

I used to watch The Kudlow Report on CNBC. But I can’t watch any of the financial shows anymore. The majority of economists they bring on are just a joke. Schiff is the only one who makes any sense, and they treat him like he is a nutjob. I am convinced the others are bought and paid for by multi-national corporations.
