PSA: This is the last DOOM of the week. Have a happy Thanksgiving and try to forget about the DOOM while you're spending the holiday with friends and family. DOOM will resume as usual next Monday.
The SSDI disaster. Just another reason among the multitudes as to why Social Security as a program is doomed.
GDP revised down to 2%. The productivity falloff in the past decade has been one of the great under-appreciated trends in modern economics, I think.
The CMEÂ’s reputation has been tarnished by this MF Global business, but there is also a lot of investor confusion and misunderstandings about just how regulated (and risky) the futures market really is. When investing in futures (or really any derivative), follow the same basic advice as you would when gambling: donÂ’t bet what you canÂ’t afford to lose.
Mark Steyn on the failure of the Super Committee:
Those who can do. Those who canÂ’t form a supercommittee. Those who canÂ’t produce a majority vote in a supercommittee sequester. Those who canÂ’t even sequester are telling the world something profound about American inertia.
Three scenarios where Uncle Sugar bails out the EU. No money? No problem! WeÂ’ll just print more!
And now for the next wheel falling off the Eurozone train...Belgium! (Who has been without a government for more than a year now, by the way.).
Back off, man, IÂ’m a scientist. (Always go to the classics for tasty quotes, that's my opinion.)
German Chancellor Angela Merkel: “We must re-establish the primacy of politics over the market.” This in a nutshell is everything that is wrong with the sovereign governments of both Europe and the United States (and China, and Russia, and...well, you get my point). The “market” is not a thing to be managed, or a process to be controlled. The market is just an aspect of the natural world, working on the creatures who move through it. Merkel’s comment reflects the combination of arrogance and ignorance that is at the root of so many of our economic problems.
UPDATE 1: Chinese manufacturing at a 32-month low. The signs of a Chinese economic downturn are multiplying rapidly.

Forget the Supercommittee; the timidity of the GOP frontrunners is far more disturbing. In a sane polity, they would be competing over the abolition of departments, the rollback of regulatory tyranny, the shrinking of entitlements – not to mention flying commercial and making do with a mere 20-car motorcade. This close to the abyss, public discourse is nowhere near where it ought to be.
I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords.

Very good and true and I would like to offer a friendly amendment. Every option house that I am aware of has SIPC insurance that covers up to half a million of your equity. Futures accounts, not so much.

Vic, if they fixed the "fraud and abuse" in SSDI, it basically wouldn't exist. Oh, there would still be some, but there are very, very few people who are so injured or ill that they literally cannot do any sort of work.

Posted by: Andy at November 23, 2011 04:59 AM (5Rurq)
It depends on what you define as "fraud and abuse." "Fraud" of course, is easy: if you lied about your condition, it's fraud. It's the "abuse" part that's so hard. I doubt there are 20% of people on SSDI who truly cannot find any work. They probably can't find work they like, or can't find work that pays what their old job did- but I sincerely doubt there are even that many who are completely disabled.

How many divisions will the Army have if the troops don't get paid? Jefferson Davis found that out the hard way: when your economy tanks, so does your national defense apparatus (in due course).

Exactly. And you can't call it "Fraud" because he never lied, and you have to argue "abuse" (instead of it just being accepted that it's abuse) because a court ruled that he should be eligible.
A far better thing would be to end SSDI completely. Life insurance pays out if you really are completely disabled and can't find any work. I'd say it's up to you to ensure you are insured properly, the Federal Taxpayer shouldn't be on the hook.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits ticked up slightly last week after two months of steady declines.
But the increase isn't enough to reverse the downward
trend. The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure,
fell to its lowest level since April. The decline in the average signals
that companies are laying off fewer workers.
No matter what the bad economic news is our friends at MiniTrue will spin it positive. And of course the MFM will spin hiring at this time of the year as employment improving and come January the increase in unemployment will be "unexpected"

I'm going to guess the inverse of the number who are actually fully disabled, so 80%+.
Ok, climate scientists.
The fact you can find another group calling itself "scientists" who aren't, doesn't suddenly make the first group legitimately "scientists." Economists aren't scientists. Nothing they do can be tested in a laboratory environment. Which is not to say what they do is unimportant, just that it isn't "science." Climate scientists (who aren't Michael Mann, et. al.) are real scientists- often with degrees in Physics or Chemistry or whatever- who can test their specific theories in a lab. It's just the field of "climate science" is (like economics) too big to test. Anyone claiming to be a "climate scientist" should be mocked and scorned. On the other hand, a physicist investigating the effects of X on Y, and what that might do to the climate- that's legit science.

After-tax, inflation-adjusted incomes fell at a 2.1 percent rate over the summer, the biggest drop since the third quarter of 2009, just as the recession was ending.
Comrades, it's nothing but good economic news!
Economists predict growth will strengthen to an annual growth rate of 3 percent in the final three months of the year, based on more encouraging data on retail sales and factory output.

It's a major factor sucking Social Security dry. The explosive growth, both in percentage of Americans on SSDI and in total dollars makes it clear that SSDI is out of control and bleeding us into bankruptcy. That man-baby case is the perfect example of what a dysfunctional monstrosity SSDI has become.
Next office over from mine in our office building is a plaintiff attorney who specializes in SSDI cases. I speak with him occassionally in the hall, usually talking about sports.. he tells me about how he goes on all kinds of expensive outings (hunting trips, Superbowl, etc.) with his doctor "friends" whom he uses to testify on his clients' behalf in SSDI cases. It's a rigged game, with taxpayers on the hook

Yes. The wonks in DC have proven so effective. They may be right that "it will be inflated away," but that's not something just to shrug off. To "inflate away" our debt at this point is not just to invite Hyper-Inflation, but to request that it RSVP in a postage-paid envelope, and then to follow up with a phone-call to let it know how much we'd like it to come over. National debt is now 15T. That's bigger than our entire economy. We can't, responsibly, just inflate that away.
Don't get me wrong- inflation will be some part of getting rid of it (if we ever do), but if inflation is the primary means of reduction of the Debt, then we're beyond "boned" all the way to "flayed," and working on "escroted."

That's probably true, but you can inflate it so that it is no longer such a crippling percentage of GDP. Of course, that would mean everything else would be correspondingly more expensive. $50.00/gallon milk, anyone?

SSDI:
I rent property for a living. The number of persons I see who are on SSDI has exploded since O' blah blah got into office. As well, I have yet to see anyone of these persons in a wheelchair, missing an arm or leg, blind etc. I don't see anyone with traditional disabilities. In fact, they all look healthy as hell. Working Americans are being played hard by this government as everyone has to work harder to support the legions of free-loaders. As we used to say in the corps, it ain't hard till its stupid...It's getting real hard nowadays...

Stole this from a National Review-Jonah Goldberg article blogger. Good stuff - its as if I said it myself:
"Romney is good at one thing, running for public office. He has had lots and lots of practice. He will say whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear. Last night, no less than three times he simply picked up an answer that another candidate had given and showed it to the audience again, "look, isn't this pretty?"
The only time he has actually governed, he did so to the left of Ted Kennedy.
Gingrich, for all his much gone over baggage, has actually accomplished some truly outstanding (conservative) things: entitlement reform, welfare reform, budget reform. Is he as consistently Conservative as I would like? Absolutely not. But he is head and shoulders above Mr.Head and Shoulders model."
Compare and contrast. And Vic, Perry doesn't compare.
Posted by: Sub-Tard Backhoe at November 23, 2011 06:07 AM (0M3AQ)
Hahahahaha, if he actually accomplished all that shit we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. Budget Reform, hahhaha, we see where that went. Welfare reform hahhahaha, they just changed the nae of it and made it "for the children". It has grown by leaps and bounds. Entilment reform, again not a damn bit
In short, Goldberg is FOS and so is NRO.

I like that too. The Fed needs to be severely curtailed, but Secretary of Treasury has the power over major entitlements and can prioritize spending. Ron Paul would be awesome in either role.. he could possibly bring enough of his rabid cult-followers on board to swing the election in 2012 if Perry promised to appoint him during the campaign.
