Just last week, Americans were reassured (twice) that everything is
awesome in the US labor market as ADP and BLS data showed jobs-jobs-jobs
everywhere. However, along with wage stagnation (and a rising unemployment
rate), there is a bigger problem, as Deutsche Bank
warns, aside from soft earnings, hiring
at America’s biggest companies is slowing down for the first time since 2010.

When debt grows much faster than GDP for an
extended period of time, it is inevitable that a good portion of that
debt will start to go bad at some point. We witnessed a perfect example of this in 2008, and now it is starting to
happen again.
US bankruptcy filings
by consumers rose 5.4% in January, compared to January last year, to 52,421
according to the American Bankruptcy Institute. In
December, they’d already risen 4.5% from a year earlier. This was the first time that
consumer bankruptcies increased back-to-back since 2010.
Of course consumer bankruptcies
are still much lower than they were during the last financial crisis, but what
this could mean is that we have reached a turning point.

Many Americans who have wrestled with a 1040 form, or who have paid
someone to prepare their taxes, no doubt cheered the news that Congress will soon resume working on tax
reform. However taxpayers should temper their enthusiasm because, even in the unlikely event tax collection is simplified, tax reform will not reduce the American
people’s tax burden.

"We never get ahead of what’s happening in these countries...Don’t you
see? Immigration can never be an effective or significant way to deal
with the suffering people of the world... they have to be
helped where they live..."
[ IMMIGRATION.. more than suffering because of
poverty. “Helping them home” is naked hypocrisy ..
we’ve plundered their nation’ home; we’ve supported their brutal dictators to
favor our plundering; we’ve blessed their poverty (less that one solar per/hour) because this semi-slave
labor is the source of huge accumulation of capital in “developed countries”;
on top of that their resistance to our abuses have being responded with
torture, solitary confinement in prisons like Guantanamo, and if the Gov dear
to support their nation, we accuse them of linked to narco-terrorism, and
impose “regimen change policies” like the ones used in Irak, Afganistan, Libya,
Syria.. you named. THIS IS THE CORE
OF THE “IMMIGRATION” ISSUE. The moral of “helping them were they
live” have not legal bases, NOR REAL ETHICAL PRINCIPLES
nor humanity. Such statement has nothing to do with political principles of
justice and democracy… it is evidence of just the opposite: naked fascism. ]

The company footing bill for the legal brief signed by more than 120
mostly tech companies who oppose President Donald Trump’s executive order on
immigration, is none other than the Company which
offered Hillary Clinton its "strategic plan" to help Democrats win
the election, and track voters, and which hired former Clinton
Foundation CEO, Eric Braverman: Google
…
Earlier today, we
explained why billionaire Democrat, and Clinton
supporter, George Soros is the likely source of
funding behind the rapidly spreading - and costly - Trump "Muslim
Ban" lawsuits.
Moments ago, we found the other "source of funds"
missing link in the ongoing anti-Trump executive order campaign. As Bloomberg
reports, the company footing bill for the legal brief signed by more
than 120 mostly tech companies that oppose President Donald Trump’s executive
order on immigration, is none other than the Company which
offered Hillary Clinton its "strategic plan" to help Democrats win
the election, and track voters, and which hired former Clinton
Foundation CEO, Eric Braverman: Google (technically,
its parent company Alphabet).
[[ IS REV FROM ABOVE POSSIBLE with TRUMP? ..
please consider these facts:
FACT 1: Soros and
Google plus other Clinton billionaires has been defeated and the ban against
possible terrorist have been re-instated. If the intention of
Soros-Google-Clinton’ clan, was to set a nazi-game (Goebbels style of
manipulating media ) to discredit Trump, prepare
impeachment or nullify chances for 2nd term, then the logo fascist inside & abroad
will be the Alan POE pendulum on his head, .. and they may succeed it. Trump is
now totally isolated in Europe (case in point: Ingland).
FACT 2: It is real the political inexperience of Trump
on geo-politics.. (Saudis & Israel were not included as real and potential producers
of terrorism.. Why? .. The power of AIPAC network? Or personal conflict of interests.. hidden
business in between. This geo-political contradiction has not been cleared
yet), but is clear and very real that Trump played the
political game (nazism vs fascism) successfully.
The Judges who rejected his ban are the losers. Trump made them responsible for any kind of
terrorism that happens in America, and of course it could happens (not because
of immigrants but from the amount of mercenary terrorist we have in our depo.
FACT 3: Trump succeeded and now has THE PRESS divided to
the point that he hit the main clown of Fox. However, this triumph is still
incomplete; to be completed he has to clean his internal swamp of zionists and
war mongers already inside his government. Then he will be free from the logo “fascist”
he still have. Then the nation will be with him and
democratic governance will be easy, and
the dream of 2nd term will be more close to reality. This means that Next
task will be the pact with RU, China and Iran to dismantle
NUKES, cancel the sanctions to them and take NATO out of the borders of
RU. Then the world and our nation will be totally supporting Trump. If TRUMP is unable to
create this REVOLUTION from ABOVE,
then the other one, the REVOLUTION from BELOW, will
take place. ]]

America is being distracted by shiny things and manipulated into civil
unrest over identity politics, Melissa Dykes of The Daily Sheeple warns that an unprecedented push for war is underway.
It’s pretty clear that we’re

continued under Obama… and now kicked up a notch by our

WORLD ISSUES and ME
"The ECB and BOJ are buying $150 billion a
month of their own bonds and much of that money then flows from 10 basis points
JGB's and 45 basis point Bunds into 2.45% U.S. Treasuries.... I would venture a
guess that without QE from the ECB and BOJ that 10-year U.S. Treasuries would
rather quickly rise to 3.5% and the U.S. economy would sink into
recession."

This afternoon, a new opinion poll from INSA
showed the SPD gaining further support and overtaking the CDU/CSU for the first
time in many years. If elections were
held now, the INSA poll suggests that the CDU would get 30% of the vote, while
the SPD would get 31%. This means that Schulz would enter any coalition talks
as the leader of the largest party, hence becoming Chancellor.

WASHINGTON BLOG
Longtime correspondent C.A.
recently asked a question every American household should be asking: which
assets are most likely to survive the “system re-set” that is now inevitable? It’s a question of great import because not all
assets are equal in terms of survivability in crisis, when the rules change
without advance notice.
If you doubt the inevitability of
a system implosion/re-set, please read Is America
In A Bubble (And Can It Ever Return To “Normal”)? This brief essay
presents charts that reveal a sobering economic reality: America is now
dependent on multiple asset bubbles never popping–something history suggests is
not possible.
It isn’t just a financial re-set
that’s inevitable–it’s a political and social re-set as well. For
more on why this is so, please consult my short book Why Our
Status Quo Failed and Is Beyond Reform.
The charts below describe the key
dynamics driving a system re-set. Earned
income (wages) as a share of GDP has been falling for decades: this means labor
is receiving a diminishing share of economic growth. Since costs and debt
continue rising while incomes are declining or stagnating, this asymmetry
eventually leads to insolvency.
The “fix” for
insolvency has been higher debt and debt-based spending–in essence, borrowing
from future income to fund more consumption today. But each unit of new
debt is generating less economic activity/growth. This is called diminishing
returns: eventually the costs of servicing the additional debt exceed the
increasingly trivial gains.
