COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Job Loss Looms as Part of Stimulus Act Expires
By MICHAEL COOPER
Published: September 25, 2010

Tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs within weeks unless Congress extends one of the more effective job-creating programs in the $787 billion stimulus act: a $1 billion New Deal-style program that directly paid the salaries of unemployed people so they could get jobs in government, at nonprofit organizations and at many small businesses.

  2. Free money for workers is like the free money for cars and houses, it appeals to the universal dream of something for nothing but the only thing it stimulates is more debt. We are in the middle of the biggest transfer of "wealth" from the future that we have ever seen.

  3. Let me tell you how it will be;
    There's one for you, nineteen for me.

    Should five per cent appear too small,
    Be thankful I don't take it all.

    (if you drive a car,) - I’ll tax the street;
    (if you try to sit,) - I’ll tax your seat;
    (if you get too cold, ;) - I’ll tax the heat;
    (if you take a walk, ) - I'll tax your feet.

    Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Obama)
    If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister Obama)

    Now my advice for those who die,
    Declare the pennies on your eyes.
    'Cause I’m the taxman,
    Yeah, I’m the taxman.

    And you're working for no one but me.

    Taxman!

  9. I can understand why Beazer doesn't beeline for the CTL industry - sort of (too much retooling/retraining - hard to structure a mortgage for a futures gasoline contract) but I wish somebody would explain to me why a 2-yr payroll tax holiday wouldn't work so to speak.

    Serious question.

  10. I would guess that a payroll tax holiday would put one heck of a big hole into the revenues for the gov. (how big I'd be interested to know) and at its end their would be a hue and cry to continue it. I have been puzzled, and dismayed, at the frantic attempts to reflate the credit bubble by propping up the banks (kinda understand that) but hoping that folk borrowing more would be helpful and useful strikes me as problematic. In general putting money into the 'peoples' hands instead of 'banks' would be much more stimulative I would think. Do you think that the 'people' could hire powerful enough Lobbyiests to actually get it done?

  15. The ever fascinating Charles @ BC speculates that the $1.8 to 2 trillion dollars being held in corporate cash reserves is the amount the banks need to replenish their capital reserve requirements to downsize from the 2008 levels of 30-40:1 back to 12:1.

    Doesn't take a rocket scientist let alone an unemployed blogger to conclude that throwing money is problematic, but throwing it at no defined let alone defensible target is close to hysterical.

    I happen to agree with the general tenor of your post. If it is true that resurgent consumerism is the only way out of this recession ( I question that) then government money should be targeted directly at the people, bypassing the institutional infrastructure that allegedly influences spending behavior. Psychologically it has a distinctively leftish ideological flair.

    And no I don't. Explains why the BC boys are hunkering down in their bunkers.

  20. I think, for most of us in business, there is a lack of demand in the market and thus no incentive to borrow to expand. On the consumer side they've borrowed big time so why would they want (or be able) to borrow more? Flooding the banks with cash so they can lend has not produced the desired results.

    All in all I'm not confident that all this financial engineering is going to work out well in the end. You squeeze one bulge and another pops out. Damn squishy balloon!

  25. I was only half facetious suggesting that Beazer start building CTL plants.

    A little over five years and $14 billion USD later, the Chinese have seven of them.

    I'm boring myself with much of this and will stop, but the lending sits in stasis due to very poor health care reform (complicated, expensive and plain goofy), threatening environmental initiatives, and the lingering burden of housing collapse.

    The Dems get full credit for 2 out of 3. The professional politicians get credit for 2008.

    I repeat, I can understand why the BC Boys are in hunker down mode. The 21st century was supposed to be a glorious millennium of technological breakthrough and life-enhancing innovation (especially medical).

  62. Copied, verbatim from Commentor, Starship Trooper, at The Oil Drum:

    Rockman:

    The 1974-1975 and 1979-1982 (a double-dip) recessions are the closest approximations of an oil price shock with other factors thrown in. Some would argue the 1990-1992 recession might also fit part of this model as well (Iraq invades Kuwait).

    By recovery, that could mean the period from when jobs first started to fall to the point they recovered to the same number in the workforce as when the job losses began. In that sense, the person you heard on NPR is correct. Between 1960 and 1975 there were 3 notable recessionary periods. All recovered to the same number of jobs (but not necessarily to the same unemployment percentage in less than 24 months.

    The 1979-1980 recession lead to a second dip in August of 1981 that took about 27 months for recovery. The drop in 1990 (July) took 32 months to recover back to same number (no net loss) of jobs. The 2001 recession (jobs began falling in March 2001) took 47 months to recover. President GW Bush was nearly the first President since the Great Depression to have a net job loss in during a term of his Presidency.

    The recession which began in December 2007 showed its first job decrease in January 2008. By the time Bush was out of office, the economy had shed more than 5.8 million jobs and the net job creation during the Bush (II) Presidency was a mere 338,000 over the entire 8 year span. It seems we have bottomed in this recession at a loss of 8.33 million, since this started.

    To put this into perspective, if you summed all the job losses from all the previous recessions and then plotted them on the Total loss versus months after the recession began, the summ of all job losses from all recessions since 1960 is only 8.7 million jobs and that combined loss would have bottomed out at 12 months after the recession began before the combine values began to rise again.

    This recession took 2 years to bottom out in job losses (if it really has) but we can hardly say that there has been any real recovery of job loss. And if the last sluggish recovery is any guide, it took about 4.5 years to recover nearly 8 million jobs from the last recession's bottom to the peak before the crash occurred in early 2008.

    That is well beyond the next Presidential campaign and may well into the 2016 cycle as well, IF there is any recovery at all.

    That should brighten your day.

  63. Meredith Whitney just produced a report concluding that the next systemic crisis will come from the states which operate under constitutionally mandated balanced budgets. Another round of layoffs versus increased federal deficit. Texas and Virginia are in the best shape due to limited government services and positive demographic trends.

  64. Speaking of States I saw this today:

    "California May Seek $5 Billion From Wall Street, Lockyer Says

    California is lining up a short- term loan of more than $5 billion from a group of Wall Street banks to tide the state over with enough cash after a record- long budget impasse, Treasurer Bill Lockyer said.

    The state may borrow the money from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and RBC Capital Markets once a budget is enacted and would repay the funds with an estimated $10 billion of notes it will sell in October or November, Lockyer said today in New York. The state can’t issue those notes until a budget is signed.

    California has been operating without a budget since the start of its fiscal year July 1 amid a dispute over how to erase a $19.1 billion deficit. The state is in danger of having to shutter school construction, roadwork and other public-works projects and force private contractors to put as many as 10,000 employees out of work because of the impasse, Lockyer said at a conference of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.

  76. Doesn't Much Matter


    One of Washington’s most enduring policy dialectics is alive and well as Democrats and Republicans court midterm-election voters in the face of mystifyingly weak job market and threatening budget deficit.

    Yet, for all of the political noise about the Reagan or Bush tax cuts, or the Clinton or Obama tax hikes, it may be hard to make a convincing case for either approach..

    “I really don’t think you can,” says Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic And Policy Analysis. “It’s really marginal.”

    ReplyDelete
  77. From the link above:

    "We couldn't afford those tax cuts back when they were implemented by Bush. We can't afford them now," said David Stockman, Reagan's former budget director, referring to the nation's debt problem.

    Even former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who ardently backed the Bush tax cuts a decade ago, said extending them was unrealistic and unaffordable in the current budget environment.

    Nevertheless, both Democrats and Republicans are pushing for expensive tax cuts at a time of extraordinary government spending and record-high budget deficits on the assumption that it will help an economy suffering from weak demand, which is holding back job creation.

    The Democratic plan to cut taxes on all taxpayers except those in the two-top brackets would cost the government $2.9 trillion in lost tax revenue over a decade; the Republican plan--which applies cuts to all taxpayers—would mean another $700 billion in lost tax revenue.

    “Whichever camp your are in—cutting taxes or raising rates—spending reductions are a necessary thing. While my side says tax reductions will produce robust growth we cant turn a blind eye to the expenditure side." says Pete Sepp. executive VP of the National Taxpayers Union. "It's been proven time and time again under Democrats and Republicans."

    ...................................

    IOW, spending cuts are dead.

  115. Your directness will be appreciated by those you speak to. Be aware that several people in your life might need a touch of your polished diplomacy

  127. (MUST READ: COPD TREATMENT) I am Granny bee from Portland, Oregon, USA. I was diagnosed of COPD/Emphysema in Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in 2014. In August 2016 my condition worsened and my doctor advised me for Lung volume reduction surgery to remove part of my lungs, making room for the rest of the lung to work better, considering the risk involved i was scared and i resorted online for help, I was in a health website when i read a testimony of a woman from Canada who was totally cured of COPD through the herbal remedy she purchased from a herbal clinic in South Africa, i immediately contacted this herbal center via their email and purchased the COPD herbal remedy, i received the herbal remedy within 7 days via courier service and commenced usage. After 3 weeks and two days of usage, i did another lungs function test and CT scan to be sure, my doctor confirmed my airway are repaired, Thank you Dr Abumere herbal center. Contact this herbal center via their email:abumereherbalcentre@gmai l.com
