  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    We used to store it underground in where it is cool in case of emergency and distribute the surplus via commodities program to ensure a stable supply chain.

    Now we have folks that are upset because folks just aren't hungry enough.

    My limited research on the subject tells me that helium is a by natural product of natural gas production which is ramping up.

    Absent measures to capture it, it simply dissipates into the atmosphere.

    Producing more milk than can be consumed causes deflation.

    I have no experience with Germany.

    Are you familiar with what the US did back in the 1920s?

    Why buy it when you can rent it for cheap? Let them store it for you.

    Actually the result was classically humourous, reminiscent of the old hand cranked movies.

  • Krugman, Lack Of Demand, Lack Of Jobs And The Future Of America [View article]
    "With a monopolized money medium, deficits don't really matter. What matters is what the deficit is being created for."

    Well said, Hooper.

    As long as the money is well spent and the resources are allocated to useful purpose, we will all thrive and prosper.

    A spirited debate that is focused on how best to do that is much superior to the "Spoils to the Victor" approach that is proven to be the quickest and surest path to Austerity.

    "Your hyper-partisan approach is exactly why we have such intractable political problems. The "my way or the highway" approach makes compromise impossible".

    Its worse than that.

    You can't just agree with the Business Plan, you have to drink the Kool-Aid and join the Pitchfork Parade too.

  • Are We Witnessing The End Days Of Supply Side Economics? [View article]
    No Rush to judgment here, Wyatt.

    While in total agree with many of your conclusions, it is the unnecessary ideological baggage that creates the divide between us.

    Perhaps somewhere beneath the surface lies a common skepticism of the "Know-It-All"-scientists who created for us the empty Monist logique of the so called "Age of Enlightenment."

    However, regression to the Medieval, zero-sum "life is all about choices" logique that preceded it is counter to the "United We Stand" tradition that is a cornerstone of the uniquely American experience.

    Let's be brutally Frank. 80% of the population are by definition not in the top 20% in intellectual capacity.

    Enough of the "us against them" anti-intellectual mentality foisted upon the clueless masses by the demagogues and also ran's whose entire livelihood and identity depends on a cynically motivated and fear driven "Divide and Conquer" strategy.

    God save the Queen.
