-459ºF prospects of bailout - absolute zero!

-459ºF. Prospects of bailout, absolute zero! When Yogi Berra was asked by his coach, “Are you stupid or just ignorant”, he responded with , “I don’t know and I don’t care”. That is funny, but it is also the attitude of most Americans concerning the economy. It reminds me of the movie “Network” where Howard Beal says, “Just let us have our color TV, our radial tires and I want to be left alone and I’ll be happy!”

A lot of people are pinning their hopes of a better economy on a new President that promised change. It would have been nice to see real change, but since our new President has chosen Timothy Geithner, the former president of the New York branch of the Federal Reserve as the new Treasury Secretary, we will be getting more of the same. Having chosen anyone outside the Federal Reserve would have been real change. Now we will have the Federal Reserve running the Treasury instead of the other way around.

They started the Federal Reserve with nothing and they still have most of it left, and there is plenty more nothing where that came from. We will have none of that. In fact, I will have none of that too, and make mine a double. You know what I always say, double my nothing or nothing. For those of you not familiar with me, in the past I proved there is no money, so money equals nothing. We like to think we have money, earn money and spend money, while in reality we live in a money matrix where we have nothing, earn nothing and spend nothing all to our ignorant delight!

The Federal Reserve will keep feeding us the same dope to keep us in a stupor. Eat your Soilent Green, take the blue pill to stay where you are like a Clockwork Orange and remain in a purple haze. We are all either stupid or ignorant on credit, cash and currency to believe anyone can fix the economy with the same cronies in charge, those monied elite.

I recently asked a group of engineers if everyone on the Titanic had a bucket and bailed water, would it have kept the ship afloat? The answer was no. Nothing would have prevented it from sinking as damaged as it was. Nothing, no one, and no bail out can prevent our economy from sinking.
It takes an average freight train a mile and a half to come to a complete stop from 70 miles per hour, if the brakes work. This economy is a run away train with no brakes. If Ayn Rand were alive today, she would witness the machine grinding to a halt as she predicted in her book “Atlas Shrugged”. What happens when an unstoppable force (the monied elite) meets an immovable object (the economy at absolute zero)? That will be something to see.

Absolute Zero is the point at which all molecular motion stops. At least that is what most scientists believe although no one has observed it or if they did they did not remember it because they would have stopped as well. That is where our economy is headed, a complete seize-up. More lay-offs and plant closings and bank failures and foreclosures, welcome to the Tribulation.

Do not expect any financial advice books to save you. Every other author spews the same crap based on conventional thinking. Conventional thinking is thinking inside the box. If so much as a single get rich quick book worked, we would all be rich. Since we are not all rich that means not one, not a single one works. They keep talking advice about a money system that went extinct in 1964. We do not use money anymore, we use Federal Reserve Note debt currency.

These people keep making buggy whips in an age of autos. There is as much difference in a horse and the horse power under your hood as there is between real money and debt currency. You can keep whipping your car hood and wondering why your car does not go any faster, but that would be stupid or ignorant.

Our prospects of an economic bail out are slim and none, and Slim just left town with my buggy whip. That means our real prospects for change are Absolute Zero. Wake up people, the money matrix has you.

We also...well, many of us...know what works: free market solutions and an abject lack of government influence MMMMMMM no that doesn't work. lack of regulation doesn't work. that started with Reagan and we've been going down hill ever since. you can't build a house from the top floor down. it's from the bottom up. and that's not what is being done. The economic bang-for-the-buck of bonus depreciation is very modest (see table).[7] Indeed, of all the tax and spending policies considered, it provides the least amount of stimulus. Such incentives offer a limited boost because many businesses have... [More]

I agree with Lt Ripley. I think this is one of the reasons Tilley calls it the money matrix, nothing is what it seems and everything seems to run backwards from what is logical.

This Obama plan is the largest ponzi scheme I've seen this year, and there has been alot of them. you would think that we might have learned something from the failed Bush stimulus plan $825 billion. now Obama wants another $819 billion. we bail out Merrill Lynch and they give $4 billion to $5 billion in bonuses in 2008. and layoff thousands. Why don't they just give the money to the poor and middle class? I think the auther Phillip Tilley is offering an alternative look at economic issues.

MID, just by saying that we've seen something like this before it's evident that you have no idea what's really going on.

I got to thinking about the bailouts and it did occur to me that perhaps GM did not deserve one. It seems to me a few years ago GM had developed an electric car that they later sent to the scrap yard. If they had of kept making them, which would have been good business, they wouldn't have been in the financial mess they ended up in. They were ahead of the pack and threw it away. They don't deserve a bail out, they deserve to go out of business for making poor decisions in the auto business. That's how capitalism is supposed to work.

You're right.The only problem with it is that he's wrong in his position. There's always a solution. The situation is no where near as dire as he paints it and anyone who says that no one can fix the crisis, or that there's an absolute zero chance is spewing nonsense. We have these cycles regularly, and it's always corrected. We know how this works. We've seen it before, and it appears that people forget. If we can save ourselves, then there's certainly more than an absolute zero chance that things can be saved. Good post, MID. However, the nature of the economic woe (and the probable solution...

Good post, MID. However, the nature of the economic woe (and the probable solution) means that recovery will not be overnight - it will take considerable time. Of course, this leaves time for people like the OP to cry that "things aren't happening, so we have to do things my way!!!"Mr Anderson, I am always a little skeptical of a person who shouts loudly about money having no value, yet is apparently not too shy about collecting a lot of the stuff himself. What evidence do you have that the author is collecting a lot of money? That seems a little presumptuous on your part!

What evidence do you have that the author is collecting a lot of money? That seems a little presumptuous on your part! What would be the consequence to Mr Tilley of his economic theories/principles being widely adopted and him and his theories being highly regarded by the majority of international economists? I am hardly expressing an occurence that would be unlikely, in that event. Mr Tilley is as human as the rest of us.

Mr Tilley is as human as the rest of us. Perhaps a better question would be, what would be the consequence to society as a whole if Mr Tilleys economic theories/principles were widely adopted? Is it that hard to believe that a person can be altruistic? Perhaps you should not judge everyone by your own actions. From what I have read ... [More]
