Refering to "parliamentary-democratic parties" outside of Germany, Geobbels said that "The hunt for popularity usually means nothing other than concealing the truth and speaking nonsense."
Goebbels at Nuremberg — 1934
To Goebbels this is the exact opposite of what in his mind a successful government should do. Not that his idea of a successful government is my cup of tea. But this is exactly what is happening in the US. On Thursday a talking head analyst on Bloomberg TV actually said that in the US economy “automobiles do not count.” That is like standing outside on a bright sunny day at high noon and declaring it midnight.
This week Federal Reserve Governor Poole said that there has been a “dramatic” improvement in US economic activity. Then why did notes and bonds make new recent highs (expecting less demand for money, less economic activity)? And that is despite them breaking their 6 month long recent uptrend lines. They broke their uptrend lines and still ended up making new recent highs. Strange. To me notes and bonds should be fearing a devaluing USD but that's not what is happening.
Greenspan made the "USD has bottomed" statement, again. Greenspan, a guy who during his private practice years developed an atrocious record for predicting what the economy and inflation would do. Hey, sounds like a candidate to head the Fed. Yup, they made him head of the Fed. They needed a guy that has no shame.
Things must be pretty bad out there when these guys are reduced to making simple minded stupid dumb lies.
