Assuming
Deutsche Bank is correct, the result would be the scariest forecast bond bulls
have seen in years: a 10-Year
TSY whose yield fades all gains attained during the past decade, in the span of
just two short years, hitting 4.5% in early 2019. The adverse implications from
such a fast, steep move on all asset classes, not just bonds, would be
devastating.

“We
find that 94% of net job growth in the past decade was in the alternative work
category,” said Obama's former top White House economist Alan
Krueger. In other words, nearly all of the 10
million jobs created between 2005 and 2015 were not traditional nine-to-five
employment, but low-paying temp, on-call, contract workers, independent
contractors or freelancers.

Meet the REAL Santa Claus : Saint Nick.
Posted on December 25, 2016 by WashingtonsBlog
Saint Nicholas was a real, historical person. But he
didn’t live in some snowy Northern place like the North Pole or Scandinavia.
And he probably wasn’t fair-skinned with ruddy cheeks.
He lived in the town
of Myra – on the Southern Coast of Turkey – in the
fourth century (it was then part of Greece). So he likely had an
olive-colored, Mediterranean complexion:
See image at : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Icon_c_1500_St_Nicholas.JPG/440px-Icon_c_1500_St_Nicholas.JPG
this is a Russian icon depicting St Nicholas with scenes from his life. Late
1400s or early 1500s. National Museum, Stockholm
And he didn’t ride a
magic sleigh driven by flying reindeer, have a workshop full of elves, squeeze
through chimneys with belly-defying dimensions, or maintain a naughty-or-nice
list rivaling the NSA.
The real St.
Nick came from a wealthy family, and his parents died in an epidemic when he
was young. Nick used his large inheritance to help the poor.
For example, poor
young girls were likely to be sold into slavery because they didn’t have a
dowry with which to attract a husband. So on 3 occasions, Nicholas threw
a bag of gold into a poor girl’s house through an open window … enough to
provide a dowry so the girl could get married.
The bags of gold are
said to have landed in stockings or shoes left in front of the fire to
dry. This led to the custom of kids hanging stockings or putting out
shoes, hoping for gifts from Saint Nick.

Why am I hopeful? the Status Quo is devolving, and a
better way of living lies just beyond the corrupt, wasteful, ruinous
consumerist debt/financial tyranny we now inhabit.
Readers often ask me to post
something hopeful, and I understand why: doom-and-gloom gets tiresome. Human
beings need hope just as they need oxygen, and the destruction of the Status
Quo via over-reach and internal contradictions doesn’t leave much to be happy
about.
The most hopeful thing in my mind is that the Status Quo is
devolving from its internal contradictions and excesses. It is a
perverse, intensely destructive system with horrific incentives for predation,
exploitation, fraud and complicity and few disincentives.
A more human world lies just beyond the edge of the Status
Quo.
I know many smart, well-informed people expect the worst once
the Status Quo (the Savior State and its corporatocracy partners) devolves, and
there is abundant evidence of the ugliness of human nature under duress.
But we should temper this Id ugliness with the stronger
impulses of community and compassion. If greed and rapaciousness were
the dominant forces within human nature, then the species would have either
died out at its own hand or been limited to small savage populations kept in
check by the predation of neighboring groups, none of which could expand much
because inner conflict would limit their ability to grow.
