CPI is “Tame” but not for the reasons the Media would have you believe

BLS_BS_TN

by John Galt May 15, 2012 22:30 ET   The usual suspects are at their propaganda inspired best with the monthly BLS report on consumer prices. The mainstream media has the usual headlines:May 15, 2012 22:30 ET   US Consumer-Price Index Unchanged; Core Rate Climbs 0.2% US April consumer prices flat as gasoline drops US consumer prices flat as gas costs fall   In other words, gas distorted reality as the reality is that the impacts on things the average American need or use every…

1946_silver_dime

by John Galt May 9, 2012 19:00 ET   If one is led to believe the usual nonsense on the Bubblevisions, gold, silver, and anything that is considered “real money” will be smoked in the weeks to come.   For once, this esteemed, or full of steamed clams, blogger agrees.   The markets are indicating the following for long term paper silver bulls (I emphasize PAPER SILVER BULLS)   1. Severe correction.   2. Deliberate price suppression for industrial purposes.   3. A move to…

It’s Time to Accept Reality that it’s Too Late

BRIDGE_OUTtn

by John Galt February 26, 2012 21:55 ET Hard as this to believe, I’m no longer going to pound my head on an exposed nail in the wall and preach to the insane that the world is about to end. In fact, I have no intention of any longer telling the foolish that the world is about implode. I’ve warned. I’ve preached. I’ve provided the warning signs. The financial system is irrevocably broken and the idiots in charge continue to preach that all is well,…

The 1-3-6 Month Treasury Bill Yields are not Signalling the All Clear

136_TBILLALERTtn

by John Galt January 8, 2012 20:45 ET The incessant screaming that the markets are fine, the economy is recovering, and don’t worry about Europe as we’ll bail them out and life will move forward into a new era of unicorns flying across the skies, painting them purple as they poop rainbows and Skittles. Of course what the bubblemedia, economists, and some biased news broadcasters, er, scratch that, all biased newscasters, will not tell the average viewer is that literally hundreds of billions of dollars…

October C.P.I. for Necessities – Operation Occupy Inflation in your Wallet

WALLET_WEIMARSTYLE

By John Galt November 16, 2011 – 08:45 ET The big buzz today will be “see, we’ve tamed inflation” but the reality is that it was a month over month drop in the overall rate of inflation, not a decrease in prices for the things the average person needs to survive. Since the average American has fallen prey to this propaganda and believes that a 0.1% drop in the headline number suddenly means their 16 oz. cereal box will return any day now at the…

FOMC in Summary: Welcome to the United States of Sisyphus

DOLLARS_BUREAUPRINT_ENGRAVE

By John Galt November 3, 2011 – 13:00 ET Instead of making your teeth itch and your brain hurt, the bottom line is this: There will be no more Quantitative Easing in 2011. This leaves the American economy wide open to any liquidity shocks created by the Eurocircus which is now entering its most dangerous phase as the U.S. central bank and government fail to understand just what it means not only to subjugate a population against their will, but how to finish the process…

Monthly CPI Necessities Update: Glad I don’t Eat, Drive, Smoke, Live in a House, Get sick, go to college, or wear deodorant

weimarwheelbarrow

By John Galt October 19, 2011 – 12:30 ET Thankfully inflation is under control. Good job Ben! Of course if you do anything but wash your car daily, get some sort of legal service (Sorry Congress, she doesn’t count; Barney he doesn’t either per the BLS) buy a new home every month, buy a new computer every month, OR use “video services” then this month’s CPI report might hurt. But politicians, Federal Reserve officers, people investing in anything but precious metals, and morons telling you…

August 2011 C.P.I. Data: Don’t Drink, Don’t Smoke, Don’t Eat, Don’t Drive, No Problemo

GOODY2SHOES

By John Galt September 15, 2011 – 17:00 ET Of course even Goody Two Shoes had to eat, live in a house, and maybe, just maybe, got the sniffles. Unfortunately for the American consumer, and somewhat to my shock, the BLS was unable to manipulate the Hedonic Horror known as the Consumer Price Index and create a deflationary indicator to validate the Fed’s wave of liquidity and next shove against the string to save their precious banks while destroying American citizen’s ability to earn a…

RICEFIELD

By John Galt August 28, 2011 – 22:45 ET From the South Korean news agency Yonhap August 29, 2011: S. Korea’s rice output to hit 10-year low this year SEOUL, Aug. 29 (Yonhap) — South Korea’s rice production is forecast to hit a 10-year low this year due to shrinking farm land and lower yields caused by unfavorable weather conditions, a state-run think tank said Monday. According to the Korea Rural Economic Institute, rice production is expected to reach 4.12-4.24 million tons this year, down…

By John Galt August 22, 2011 – 10:00 ET The charts that I have been maintaining for over a year now are available within the economic charts pages to the right for permanent review and of course, after the releases on these pages. Now that my schedule has gone from just madly insane to regular insane, these charts will be updated in a more timely manner.

1-3-6 Month Treasuries adjusted for CPI-U Core Rate Reflect the Economic Devastation

INFLATIONTP

By John Galt July 20, 2011 The economic situation began to deteriorate in February of 2007 as mid-sized lenders in the mortgage and finance industry began to collapse as has been documented for years now by this blog and many others. However the situation which indicates the strongest evidence of a lack of recovery for the economy as a whole has been the yields on the 4 week (1 Month), 3 month, and 6 month Treasury Bills which have been trading near zero for years…

New Zealand becomes the latest Victim of Transitory Inflation

NZ_map.18163933

By John Galt July 18, 2011 The headline from this morning’s New Zealand newspapers like ThePress says it all: Inflation hits 21-year high With a 4.5% inflation rate and a projection that it will go much higher as the nation recovers from those horrific earthquakes earlier this year, it is little wonder that importing inflation from the bankrupt financial systems of the world is the last thing they need as the country rebuilds. This chart created with the official data from the Royal Bank of…

Q1 Revised GDP: Welcome to Stall Speed

By John Galt May 26, 2011 All you need to know why this report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis is indicating the economy is at stalling speed: - 2nd revision was the same as the advanced report at 1.8% despite a consensus of 2.2% and some estimates it would be revised as high as 2.5% or more. - Core PCE was 1.4% revised down from 1.5% indicating fading demand in the face of inflation for consumer necessities. - Current-production cash flow (net cash flow…

CPI Necessities Chart for April 2011 – It’s Transitory

CPI Necessities Chart for April 2011 – It’s Transitory

By John Galt May 15, 2011 It is becoming somewhat spooky when the words of Ben Bernanke haunt the mind, week after week, thus I shall do the best that I can to escape this transitory trap he has placed most commentators into. Except in this case the “official” CPI report from last Friday was without a doubt seriously a transition before a major commodity crash brings the prices down the BLS creates out of thin air and allows the Fed even more room to…

Gas and Diesel Prices Indicate Another Economic Crash: 2008 Redux

Gas and Diesel Prices Indicate Another Economic Crash: 2008 Redux

  By John Galt April 11, 2011 The myth that the American consumer is back being perpetuated by the financial infomercial networks and our government is about to be shattered once again. The proclamations by Fed governors that we the people are participating more in the economic engine ignores the declines in compensation compared to inflation since 2002 when the Fed and U.S. government elected to inflate the system at all costs rather than face a necessary recession to flush the system. This policy continued…

Prepetorial #17: “Your Change, Sir”

2010_penny

By John Galt May 19, 2008 Poor Mike. First his wife bounces a check at the local department store (See Prepetorial#16) and then he gets drilled with a chip into his hand to get out of jail. The chip was causing a red sore on his hand but it couldn’t be there because the charming witch used a power drill, or so he thought, to implant it. Then of course on the way out of jail every two bit thug in the “Enforcement Division” took…

The Three Little Pigs (Adjusted for Inflation)

three-little-pigsTN

By John Galt February 6, 2008 Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Each of the little pigs had their own ideas but two of them went to public schools where they were trained in Keynesian idealism while the third little pig won a scholarship to Hillsdale and learned the Austrian economic theory. The first little pig took one look at the other two and walked off muttering “you two are so ignorant! I’m taking advantage of my agricultural subsidies to build my…

Prepetorial#8: End of the System

AMERO

By John Galt November 28, 2007 The final vote was Yeas 398, Nays 21 and with that announcement on the floor of the House of Representatives, the motion was forwarded to the U.S. Senate in a rapid manner. The date was November 3, 2011 and the legislation was on the fast track to pass both houses and to be signed by Madame President the moment it hit her desk. The business community lobbied hard but considering the economic conditions drastic action was necessary. The newspapers…
