Should the Fed take away the punch bowl?



Hey, what's that dude putting into the punch bowl?

Ah, don't worry. Just some cocaine. And some heroin. And some shrooms. And some caffeine. And some ecstasy. And some absinthe. And some dark chocolate. And some crack.

America sure is going thru a rough patch now, but we will definitely recover

Many other countries around the globe that have been fu@ck by the Eurotards for so many generations from the Middle East to China from Africa to Asia,
are slowly removing the chains and recovering the natural resources that have been raped

The future will mostly be different in that the rotten and evil Europeans will be a lot worst off then Africa is today, will grow and evolve in a healthier way

It is amazing how Europe is destroying themselves without any force from the great people they have abused and oppressed for so many years.

Pay back is sweet, if only the victims would be alive today to witness awesome permanent collapse of Europe.

Good riddance!

Yes, they probably should. This time everyone was already lying on the floor soaked with mortgage cocktail by the time the punch bowl has arrived, nobody woke up while the punch bowl sat in the room, and it appears that no amount of stimulant would restart the party anyway. Random convulsions (described as "the recovery" by some optimistic observer) don't count.
Worse, the party was funded with credit, and the credit has run out, meaning NO MORE PUNCH for a long time to come!

Stock market is so rigged.

Plunge protection team is in full effect propping up and driving up this market.

There is no way that the high market volatility dropped to its current lower levels based on natural market forces. The govt is trying to buy confidence.

RE NEWS: The three Indiana funds hold $42 million in loans made to Chrysler and would recover only 29 cents on the dollar under the proposed Fiat-Chrysler deal.

"As an economic matter ... blocking the transaction would undoubtedly have grave consequences," Kagan wrote.

Kagan cited estimates that Chrysler is losing $100 million per day. (YIKES!)

The consultant said such a delay could cause widespread bankruptcies among its suppliers.

Some bankruptcy and auto industry experts said Monday that the Supreme Court action could cause problems for General Motors' own bankruptcy case.

OMG!!!!!!

JUST WRITE THEM A F*CK'N CHECK FOR $42 MILLION AND GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD!

THE PRINTING PRESS IN D.C. IS RUNNING FULL SPEED 24/7!
$42 MILLION IS NOTHING!

It's just green paper!

End the Fed. End the Punch Bowl. They should have never been there in the first place. Absolutely criminal.

"June 9 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee for e-mails and documents related to Bank of America Corp.’s purchase of Merrill Lynch & Co. after the panel was unable to obtain them through a request last week."

Yes, remove the punchbowl.

Return us to sound money policy.

Take the pain, face our fears.

We will learn to save and live off savings.

We will have fewer possessions but they will be more meaningful because had to wait for them.

It's called deferred gratification.

Hey Keith,

You're always on about how the recession is over and how Obama's stimulus plan was a grand success.

What do you think of Denninger's analysis? Is he just some crazy kook in your mind?

Who has their hand in the cookie jar next to the punch?

Angry Leprechaun said...

Yawn! The feds are fucking up again by being involved in what our forefathers foresaw. This is why we have that piece of paper that says "Constitution" on it.

I got your back Keith. I will say it so you don't have to. "Obama had to do it, he had no other choice!"

MORE SCARE TACTICS:

The US government and Fiat have warned that Chrysler could go out of business as soon as next week if the Supreme Court does not quickly reject an attempt by three Indiana pension funds to block the bankrupt carmaker’s restructuring.

...

Fiat raised doubts in its filing whether it would be willing to extend its deal with Chrysler beyond the June 15 expiry date, given the continuing erosion in Chrysler’s value.

Chrysler’s plants have been closed since it sought Chapter 11 protection on April 30. With revenues at a virtual standstill, the company is bleeding $100m in cash a day.

“Chrysler could well be forced into liquidation if the sale transaction is not completed on or before June 15”, Fiat said.

In addition, the US solicitor-general raised the possibility that the US government may not be willing to continue funding Chrysler much longer.

“If the closing is delayed by more than approximately ten days, a sufficient amount of the current commitment of debtor-in-possession financing from the US will have been consumed as to require the government either to increase its overall funding to the detriment of taxpayers, or to abandon its role in the transaction”.

Fiat added that “as opposed to the purely monetary interests being pursued by the Indiana pensioners, there are literally thousands of others who will be irreparably harmed if the sale transaction is not completed and Chrysler goes into liquidation”...

---------------------

Good thing Fiat is not motivated by "purely monetary interests".

Please excuse me while I puke.

How many times do we have to bail out Chrysler. This is like a bad horror movie where the dead refuse to die.

They are already broke. let them go under, PLEASE!!!
