Steve's barking at hiring a doctor to do plumbing

I wouldn't hire a doctor to do pluming work, and I don't think too many people would either.
I don't believe that most doctors believe that they would be good plumbers.
Now I ask myself why good businessmen think that they can be great mayors, senators, and even the president?
Again I ask myself what's with the mayor of Gotham, he hires financial people and thinks they can run government agencies. Yea they can run em, run em into the ground that is. I may not be smart for Mensa, but I'm smart enough to know that you don't hire a doctor to do the plumbing.



PSSSS, I'm not that upset with Paul Ryan's plan medicare. Now if he would only extended the coverage to every citizen of this country and have the insurance companies regulated with the premiums being payed for by a direct tax on income, he might be on to something.



em =them
PSSSS= a sound

Steve barking that it might be wurst

Just got finished reading in the paper of record a city in German is in the envious position of 1.5% unemployment and the local factories need workers. That's not what caught my eye.
What caught my eye was in the article it was discussed how the German government went from high  unemployment rate in 2005 to an envious employment record, by lowering the amount of unemployment one could get thus if one wanted to survive one would have to take a job at lower pay. Lowering pensions and having companies higher temporary workers,giving them no security or fringe benefits and by golly lower pay.
I could be wrong, but this could very easily lead to resentment by the newer employees against the older who have the job security.
 I'm looking a head to the future were Germany can't sell it's manufacturing goods abroad because the rest of the countries in the European Union are stuck with greater draconian austerity measures then Germany gave itself and there's a good chance that Asian countries will by buying more of their own manufactured goods then looking to import .  It would be for Germany  like the biblical seven years fat, seven years lean.
 Can the German people pick up the slack?
Will the German economy behave worse then rest of the European Union? Did the German government create a what it thought was a beautiful economy but that in reality down the road it turns into a beastly one.

Steve's barking at none dare call it treason

In the seventies there was a conservative book that was titled None Dare Call It Treason.
Me being the plagiarizer that I am decided to steal that line for the title this piece on what I believe Fox News is. The first and foremost treasonous News organization in the world. What other news organization would hire a man who tried to give away the name of a CIA operative to news organization? (Carl Rove) What other news organization  would keep a reporter who told of our troop movement during the time of conflict (Geraldo Rivera) and they had the nerve to broadcast it. What other news organization would hire a political operative that turned on the president he helped elect as if he was a woman scorned. What other news organization would tell the real name of the Navy Seal who wrote a book about his mission to kill Ben Laden  
thereby putting all members of that Seal Team in jeopardy. Of cause that's the station that waves the flag the most, questioning the loyalty to America of anybody they disagree with.

Steve's barking at the deadliest bug

The deadliest bug is not a spider, nor a lady bug.
It's not a virus like Ebola or Hentai.
It's the bug that attached to that yellow metal called gold.
When it strikes men and even women lose their minds.
When talking about that yellow metal people lose 50 points on their IQ.
A fabled American politician said we shouldn't be crucified on a cross of it.
Now with a growing US population the only way not to have gold inflation is for gold to be mined so that troy ounces equal the amount that per citizen of the US. (To make things easy if the population is 100 million and the country has 100 million try ounces, the country now has a population of 300 million we would need 300 million troy ounces) Now if it cost one chicken to get an ounce of gold and the amount of gold only doubled one would need one and a half chickens to get an ounce of gold. Now for you who don't understand, I told you that the gold bug drops one IQ by 50 points.

Steve's barking at rampart inflation, not

I heard it again yesterday on the boob tube from some analyst on one of those financial network's, we are headed for rapid inflation because of Bernanke and the Fed (the latest Elton John song Benny and the Fed) that because of  them buying of bonds is printing money, rapid inflation is sure to follow. Of cause none of these rapid Fed inflationist make a clear explanation as to why I'll be doubling my maintenance fee in my coop or the price of the bus I take will triple and the steak I eat will cost me 12 dollars instead of six because the Fed is trying to put money into the system. That would be to much to ask for an explanation as too exactly how the printing of money is inflationary, after all we civilians print money every day by using our credit cards, by putting money into the bank and having it lent out. Maybe we shouldn't borrow money or lend it out after all it's like printing money and printing money leads to inflation. Maybe the Fed inflationist don't understand the theory of velocity, after all it's only glanced over in economic classes.
Let's take this boring thought farther, let's say that because velocity has slowed the Fed( printing money) is only replacing money that would be printed by velocity and therefore we have a wash.
Of cause that thought would fry the brain the Fed inflationist and we already have too many people with brain disease. Let us listen to those who,in there youth would describe the book they had just read good because they like it, and they liked it because it was good.

Steve's barking not another QE

I don't know what the fuss is about QE III after all I didn't going on the QE 1 or QE II, besides I get sea sick. Oh you mean the economic term quantitative easing.
Oh never mind.
Will the latest  fed reserve trick work?
I maybe crazy, but right now there happens to be a surplus of housing stock, so I don't think it going to help the construction industry by buy mortgage back bonds. I kind of think that one would not be thinking of buying a home unless one can afford the mortgage payments and if income from working is going down it really doesn't matter if there is no interest on a mortgage, if you can't afford it you can't afford it.
I maybe reading it wrong but banks have plenty of money to lend, it just who they are lending it to that's troubling. (Read speculators).
Now I may have this wrong also but too many of our major corporation don't have to borrow they have cash on hand.
I seem to have read in a major magazine that many of our major corporations are making record profits and holding on to that money. Now silly me if I was the head of one of those companies I probably would hold on to that money too.


Some times it doesn't matter what the doctor does, the patient dies.

Steve's barking at idiot savant television

 What is idiot savant TV?
 Idiot savant TV are the talking heads on business and other disinformation news programs. Let me use the term news discussion programs and business discussion programs.The idiot savants are those talking heads who were hired because they were quite good at something that might have pertained to a business model or were good at guessing which stock would rise and fall. When it comes to knowing general knowledge of economics or history forget about it.
Several days ago I heard a comment from one of those idiot savant's calling a well known economist a communist because he dared call out a female anchor on another station saying that she was wrong in saying that the feds easing of money was driving up commodity prices such as oil and food prices. Now I'm not a communist and I know that speculators and possibly the oil company's themselves are driving up oil prices and we are now in a severe drought, lack of food stuff pushes the prices up. Now this business news annalist (?) complained about us bloggers saying anything weather it's true or not, I guess he doesn't listen to himself or most of the economic annalists on his station. or for that matter any of those blathering idiots on what is loosely called cable news.

Getting back to idiot savants on the telly, there's this guy they called the Donald whom is the star of this program called the apprentice. Now he makes great office buildings, golf courses and high rise coops, but when it comes to common sense he's two brick shy of a full load. (He has no common sense).To hear this guy talk about the president's birth certificate as to say that he's not  qualified for the office of the president because the Constitution states that only natural born citizen can be the president. Legal scholars have stated that children of citizens of the US are natural born citizens. George Romney in in '68 and McCain in '08.   
Speaking of the Donald, why doesn't he have any dignity, he hawks more products then Kim Kardashion and the cast of Jersey Shore combined. I'm not that savvy in business but I would imagine that it would cheapen his brand.
