History is full of examples
of debt bankrupting dominant superpowers, going all the way back even before
the ancient Egyptians. This time is not different. Debt
is a ticking time bomb. And in this case, given the widespread consequences
across the world, the bomb is nuclear.

Despite a massive rally in the
stock market, Illinois public pension liabilities
continue to grow. GARS, the Illinois General Assembly Retirement
System, is only 13.52% funded, down from 17% funded in 2013. How long can GARS last?

"With growth momentum
nearing its peak and rates increasing further with a hawkish Fed, the asymmetry
for equities is turning increasingly negative. This also means more
vulnerability to potential shocks, e.g.,
from European politics, US policy, commodities and China. Given the asymmetry for equities is getting worse, we
downgrade equities to Neutral for 3m."

Despite Obama's efforts to establish
"Income Driven Repayment" plans for student debt (which more or less
simply defers principle repayments until some point in the future when they can
be taken over by taxpayers), a record amount of student debt fell into default
in 2016...shocking.

As we sit here waiting to see whether the Federal

High teck kill jobs
A problem for the U.S. shale oil and gas industry that analysts and

of workers.

What’s different this time around is that the deep state bureaucrats have apparently
decided to sabotage what they undoubtedly believe to be the usurper in
the White House. To this end, they’ve been draining Trump’s bank account rather than borrowing the money to pay Uncle
Sam’s monumental bills.

Not paraphrasing the Onion, BofA then goes on to say that
"this extreme buy-the-dip

at a meager 6.6% and in the 3rd percentile since 1928."

Official poll .. lying now?
In the latest weekly Gallup survey, 48% of
Americans say the economy is getting better, and 45% say it is getting worse. That
compares with 54% and 39%, respectively, the prior week. As a result, the economic outlook component of Gallup's index
fell to +3 from +15.

In today’s case, the enthusiasm of pro-growth fiscal initiatives are destined
to collide with decades worth of ill-advised economic policies and political
obstacles. As such, we created the Trump
Range Chart to gauge the market’s faith
in Donald Trump’s ability to effect real economic change.
How To Read The Charts here only extracts, get the source
below to read full article
The data in the Trump range chart above is shown in a format
that is quite different from what is commonly used to illustrate market
changes. This format provides an easy way to view relative performance across a
broad number of indexes and securities. It is
intended to be a meaningful supplement and not a replacement to the
traditional charts most investors review on a routine basis.
The base time frame captured by the graph reflects the
market move for each index or security since Election Day, November 8, 2016. This change is represented by the 0% to 100% on the left hand
axis. The 0% level reflects the intra-day low of the security since November 8
and the 100% level the intra-day high. For
more clarity on the prices associated with the range, see the table below the
chart for each respective index.
The (red/blue) bar reflects the
price range of the past month relative to the base time frame. The black
“dash” within the 1-month bar reflects the previous week’s closing level
(PWC) and the red dot highlights the closing level on the “as-of” date in the
top left corner.
The diagram below isolates the chart and data for the
Russell 2000 to further illustrate these concepts.

Over the weekend we noted chatter that some saw Mike Pence as "the Deep State's

Those
urban regions that pursue decentralized, networked, localized solutions will
prosper. Those urban regions that pursue the hierarchical, one
"solution" fits all, high-cost bureaucratic model of central states will sink into the same cesspool of corruption, cronyism,
sclerosis and failure to adapt that characterize central states.

The real story here is that there is no story:
what MSNBC confirmed is that Trump made more money than some of his accusers
said he made, and that he paid a generous effective income tax rate, well above
that paid by Mitt Romney.

The American
kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) continues to suck the
American people down a rabbit hole into a parallel universe in which the Constitution is
meaningless, the government is all-powerful, and the citizenry is powerless to
defend itself against government agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict mayhem and sow
madness on everyone and everything in their sphere.

WORLD ISSUES and ME
Europe, so many years after the Cold War, is
ideologically divided into a new East
and a West. This time, the schism is over multiculturalism. What Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has
termed "liberal babble"
continues to govern Western Europe's response to the challenges that
migration and Islamic terrorism have brought, especially to personal security.

In yesterday’s entry, I suggested
that rather than bemoan the inevitable failure of centralized “fixes,” let’s
turn our efforts to the real solutions: decentralized, networked, localized. To commentators such as Richard Florida, decentralized,
networked, localized describes cities.
He describes the transition from central states imposing
solutions to cities being the incubators of solutions as The Most
Disruptive Transformation in History: How the clustering of
knowledge lays bare the need to devolve power from the nation-state to the city.
Florida has authored three books on the increasing
concentration of the “creative class” and capital in urban zones–cities and
their surrounding satellite cities, suburbs and exurbs: The Rise of the Creative
Class and Who’s
Your City?: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important
Decision of Your Life.
More recently, he addressed the soaring costs of living in
these urban area in The
New Urban Crisis: How Our Cities Are Increasing Inequality, Deepening
Segregation, and Failing the Middle Class—and What We Can Do About It.
Florida’s main thesis is
straightforward: solutions are coming from city governments,
institutions and enterprises, not central states. Since the world’s populace
has rapidly urbanized, this transformation affects the majority of people in
both the developed and developing worlds.
I’ve often written about the need
to move from centralization to decentralization: centralized
command-and-control mechanisms are optimized for the economy and society of the
late 1940s – early 1960s, not the economy/society of today that is being
creatively disrupted by the 4th Industrial Revolution (digital communications,
software, automation, robotics, Internet).
