Why
Hank Paulson Is Laughing: 4 Of 5 Regional Fed Voters In 2017 Will Be Ex-Goldman.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/10/2015
[ Here NOTES on real owners of America, their
democratic selection & THE ISSUE inequality.
One Fact is clear: for big Corp democracy is an obstacld if
they cannot buy elections or deposed the un-wanted elected. How to stop their
power? 1- Creating a real parliamentarian
democracy to limit the rule of the executive. 2 Create the Rule of referendum (at
least twice a year) to control de power of the senate, if the big corp manage
to buy senators. In this way there won’t be blank check to any elected
representative/ They have to serve their electors or constituencies. This
art show the case of Goldman Sachs, a mafia that run
banks and big speculators of Wall Street,]
“Spin revolving door, spin.
At a certain level, the staffing of government agencies,
regulators, and other public sector bodies with former Wall Streeters and
various bulge bracket bigwigs has become so ubiquitous that it’s hardly even
news.
Case in point: Less than two months ago, Harvard
professor Robert S. Kaplan who until 2006 was vice chairman of none other
than Goldman Sachs replaced
Richard Fisher at the Dallas Fed and amusingly, Fisher went on to become an
“advisor” for Barclays.
Well, with
the appointment of Neel Kashkari to the Presidency of the Minneapolis
branch of the Eccles cabal, we get just the latest example of what amounts to
egregious regulatory capture. Here’s The
New York Times attempting to be polite about it:
Mr. Kashkari is the third new
president of a regional reserve bank named this year, and all three of the men
previously worked at Goldman Sachs. The Philadelphia Fed in March
appointed Patrick Harker, a former Goldman trustee, as its new president. The
Dallas Fed in August selected Robert Kaplan, a former Goldman vice chairman.
…
BERNANKE AND PAULSON .. ON INEQUALITY
According to Bernanke ("We Made It Wider!" Hank Paulson Bursts
Out Laughing When Asked About Wealth Inequality. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-06/we-made-it-wider-hank-paulson-bursts-out-laughing-when-asked-about-wealth-inequality
) “denying that QE has exacerbated
income inequality is to assert that somehow, inflating the value of a
certain set of assets doesn’t by definition widen the gap between the
accumulated wealth of the people holding those assets and the people who don’t
hold those assets. … Regarding the point of inequality, the St. Louis Fed seems
to understand this very well.
If you needed proof of the widening gap between the rich and
everyone else (and the attendant
rise of class segregation) beyond that presented by the St. Louis Fed study
linked above and by the anecdotal evidence that’s readily observable by looking
at the prices paid this year for high-end art and mega mansions, look no
further than Wall Street, where, thanks to the Fed’s generosity, Lloyd
Blankfein is now a billionaire.
Speaking of Goldman Sachs and income inequality, back in
April, Hank Paulson and Robert Rubin sat down with Sheryl Sandberg and Tim
Geithner at an event hosted by Michael Milken (no less), to discuss a variety
of topics. Around a half hour into the discussion, Sandberg asks Paulson
about income inequality. Here’s what happens next:
Sandberg: “Yeah, so let’s follow
up on a bunch of the things we were [talking about]. Let’s start with income
inequality.”
Paulson: “Ok, well.. income
inequality. I think this is something we’ve all thought about. You know I was
working on that topic when I was still at Goldman Sachs..”
Rubin: “In which direction?
You were working on increasing it.”
Paulson then bursts out laughing: "Yeah!
We were making it wider!"
Here’s the VIDEO clip of April 27, 2015 on “The Global Economy” between Tim Geithner . Henry Paulson, and Robin
Rubin. VIDEO-URL: https://youtu.be/XZfXqxdGOB4
Needless to say, in the post-crisis world where the ultra
rich fork
over $180 million for paintings while everyday Americans struggle
even to afford rent in a one-bedroom apartment, this subject is far from
funny.
In fact, it’s downright depressing and we mean that in the
most literal sense possible because as it turns out, a new study released on
Friday by the UK’s Office of National Statistics has proven yet again (see our previous
discussion on this) that money does indeed buy happiness.
Just remember that
history is
replete with examples of the types of things that can happen if and when the
downtrodden masses finally become fed up with egregious and endemic inequality.
Of course it could be that Paulson is hoping his refuge at Little
St. Simons Island (which he bought several years ago), will
provide enough of a buffer from the angry peasantry to allow him to keep
laughing...

America's
Most 'Unequal' Big Cities Exposed. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 11/10/2015
“The idea that hard work leads to prosperity is increasingly
becoming an American pipe dream, in some places more than others.” www.zerohedge
Leamos estos extractos
Inequality happens when there's a concentration of people at
the highest and lowest ends of the income spectrum without much
middle-ground in between. Big cities are often hotbeds for such
conditions because they attract rich individuals who can
afford the cost of living — think rents in New York City or Los Angeles
— as well as lower-income households who need access to
services that large municipalities can often provide.
"You get this concentration both of poverty and of
wealth in the same space," Jarosz said.

[ Lo grave de la
desigualdad “explosiva” en America no
solo es la que existe entre el 10% de los que tienen demasiado y el 10% de los
que no tienen ingresos minimo –esto siempre existió y podrÃa continuar
existiendo por mucho mas tiempo,
represión incluida de los de abajo- lo que si es realmente serio para el
sistema es la desigualdad que se genera entre los de arriba, la de los yuppies
o clases medias altas que invierten en educación superior de 1ra para luego no
encontrar trabajo en el mercado neoliberal. Esta división arriba destruye la
cohesion de la clase dominante y si es lo que podrÃa manda abajo el sistema,
aun si no se articula con la explosión de los de abajo. Es entonces la división
y colision entre el 1% de potentados y el 9% de las clases medias de fustrado
arribismo social lo que si debilita no solo socialmente la uniad de la clases
dominantes sino la ochesion ideologica necesaria para mantener el imperio con
vida. Volveremos sobre esto.

Government Falls As Socialists, Communists Topple PM. S-by Tyler
Durden on 11/10/15
“Get ready Angela Merkel, because you're about to face
another anti-austerity push, only this time, the country "matters"...” www.zerohedge
[ La troika puede imprimir mas euros para
salir de este problemita .. lo grave viene luego, cuando Irlanda se separe del
UK y de la UE y cuando en Spain ocurra lo mismo.. entonces podrÃa empezar el desarme
de la Union y/o la creación de un bloque mÃnimo, siempre liderado por Alemania
y con mas austeridad. No veo otra forma de salir de estos lios y del creado por
la emigración que tiene que ser integrada al mercado laboral. Esto presionará
hacia abajo el salario de la clase trabajadora alemana, lo que a su vez generara el rechazo de estos a la polÃtica de
Merkel . Es aquà donde reside el gran problema de la UE. No les importarÃa el que hacer con los
denominados “PIGS” mientras la troika controle la Banca de la Union. Ahora si
les importa porque el sistema Portugues es un sistema parlamentario que evito rápido
que el Ejecutivo sea fácil presa de la troika y que el electo en el Ejecutivo gobierne
a espaldas de la nación como ocurrio en Grecia “con la encerrona a Psipras”. Es
la ventaja de un sistema realmente parlamentario cuyo poder reside abajo, en el
electorado que voto por el senador. De aquà deriva una tarea para la alianza de
Socialistas y marxistas: consolidar su poder abajo, en las organizaciones
laborales y en grass-root org del
pueblo. De lo contrario la troika podrÃa comprarse a senadores endebles y
revertir la actual victoria socialista ]

"Adults over 30 are less happy than any of their
predecessors," concludes a study published last week which
examined happiness data from more than 50,000 adults, gleaned from the General
Social Survey which has collected information about American adults since 1972.
Perhaps most notable is that, for the first time ever, adults ages 18 to 29
were happier than adults over 30.” www.zerohedge

es diferente a los de la UE.. aquà el problema es el sector mas golpeado por la
economÃa neoliberal, mas aun si se presiona por reducir el Medica id y el
desruir el Social security.. los viejos siempre fueron la base socio-politica
fuerte de los neocons.. es muy posible que las medidas que estos impulsan
tengan efecto negativo en el electorado mas conservador y pro-GOP del USA.. es
posible que se unan a los jóvenes que tampoco están contentos con el sistema
actual … Seria interesante saber cómo responderÃan a una encuenta al respecto ]

Obama
Explains Why 'The Greatest Corporate Power Grab In History' Is "The Right
Thing For America". Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 11/10/2015
“While some have called The Trans-Pacific Partnership, "the
most brazen corporate power grab in American history," President Obama
tells Americans - in an Op-Ed released today - that "it’s the right
thing to do for our economy, for working Americans and for our middle
class" Despite indepedent analysis that appears to confirm
the creeping corporate coup d’état along with the final evisceration of
national sovereignty, President Obama explains - in simple words -
ObamaTrade is "a trade deal that helps working families get ahead,"
due, inhis opinion, to the "toughest global labor laws" which
will allow American workers to compete on a so-called "level playing
field."

Global
Stocks Fall For 5th Day On Disturbing Chinese Inflation Data; Renewed Rate Hike
Fears; Copper At 6 Year Low. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 11/10/2015 [ Here the summary ]
“The ongoing failure of China to achieve any stabilization in its
economy, after already cutting interest rates six times in the past year, and
the prospect of a U.S. interest rate hike in December, had made markets
increasingly jittery and worried which is not only why the S&P 500 Index
had its biggest drop in a month, but thanks to the soaring dollar emerging
market stocks are falling for a fourth day - led by China - bringing their
decline in that period to almost 4 percent, and the global stock index down for
a 5th consecutive day.” www.zerohedge
