I am recommending ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF /quotes/comstock/13*!tbt/quotes/nls/tbt (TBT 45.66, -1.36, -2.89%) and ProShares UltraShort 7-10 Year Treasury /quotes/comstock/13*!pst/quotes/nls/pst (PST 52.16, -0.75, -1.42%) for this. These are ETFs that will increase if Treasury bonds decline. In addition, I expect higher levels of inflation to accompany the increases in interest rates, and I believe gold is an excellent hedge. In fact, but this is left for another discussion, I believe the U.S. government wants inflation to come. SPDR Gold Trust /quotes/comstock/13*!gld/quotes/nls/gld (GLD 102.53, -0.16, -0.15%) can be used for this.

Why the middle class is struggling

When we compare middle-class families today with their parents a generation ago ¿ we have basically flat earnings-a fully employed male today earns on average about $800 less, adjusted for inflation- than a fully employed male earned a generation ago. The only way that houses could increase or families could increase their household income was to put a second earner into the workforce, and, of course that's now flattened out because there aren't any more people to put into the workforce. So you've got, effectively, flat income in this time period ¿ with rising core expenses; housing; health insurance; child care; transportation, now that it takes two cars to get everywhere, two jobs to support; and taxes, because you've got two people in the workforce and we have a somewhat progressive taxation system. So that families are spending a lot more on

the basic nut.

The third leg to the triangle, and that is families, to deal with this, stopped saving and started going into debt.

The Rigged American Economy

When we compare middle class families today with their parents a generation ago, we have basically flat earnings -- a fully employed male today earns on average about $800 less, adjusted for inflation, than a fully employed male earned a generation ago.

Today, the top one percent now takes in 16 percent of national income, up from eight percent in 1980. The top 20 percent receive over 50 percent of all income.

Seduced by cheap, easy credit, middle class households filled the gap between their flat wages and rising bills with borrowed money. While housing was rising, this debt could be offset with rising equity. But once housing popped, then assets receded, leaving only the debt.

It now takes $486 to equal $100 in 1973. A dollar bought over 300 Japanese yen in 1973; now it buys about 90 yen. The net result of this stealth depreciation of the dollar is that purchasing power has declined even as nominal wages and wealth have increased.

· Absolutely not

· The Economic Clock® suggests that the global Economic Time® is characterized by an

1. excess supply of goods, and an

2. excess demand for money (in the sense that banks won’t lend)

· This suggests that unemployment has to rise and then stay stuck on a plateau

· These lacking “green shoots” suggest that “demand pull” inflation will simply not be a concern

· This, in turn, suggests that Central Banks in the major economies won’t tighten

Wall Street Bonuses Vs. Normal Wages: A Disturbing Trend (CHART, VIDEO)

It may be hard to believe but there was a time, almost 25 years ago, when Wall Street and Main Street weren't so far apart -- at least when it came to the average worker's salary and the average financial industry employee's annual bonus. Back in 1985, the average annual salary for all workers across the country was actually a bit higher than the average bonus ($19,000 to $13,970). (Note: these numbers are not adjusted for inflation)

clipper's remarks: We have to wonder, "Who's pulling the strings", Audit the fed!

On Tuesday, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced "The Federal Reserve Accountability Act," an attempt to kill HR 1207/S 604 by passing a bill that prevents a full audit and full transparency from America's secretive central bank.

While language in this bill would permit a limited audit of the Fed's actions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and similar high profile bailouts, it would not allow an audit to review the Fed's inflation of the money supply or its agreements with foreign central banks, among other shortcomings.
Let your senators know you expect them to support the American people's demand for full transparency, not some watered down measure designed to stop a full audit!

Obama Pushes for Extra Payment to Social Security Recipients

Obama Pushes for Extra Payment to Social Security Recipients

The Social Security Administration is planning to announce today that there will be no cost-of-living increase next year for the first time since 1975, when such adjustments became automatic. Why? Inflation has been negative this year. As a result, Obama wants Congress to award around 57 million seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans a one-time $250 check to help some of the most vulnerable Americans deal with the recession. The check would amount to around 2 percent of the annual benefit for the average retiree receiving Social Security benefits and would also go to Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries, veterans, and government and railroad retirees. The plan is expected to cost about $13 billion, and critics are bound to say it's merely a component of a second stimulus plan that the administration wants to pass without calling it that.

Physicists Calculate Number of Parallel Universes

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:18:23 GMT

clipper's remarks: Think it's crazy? Check this out, then:
To work these numbers out, Linde and Vanchurin looked back to the time shortly after the Big Bang, which they view as a quantum process that generated lots of quantum fluctuations. Then during the period of inflation, the universe grew rapidly and these quantum fluctuations were "frozen" into classical perturbations in distinct regions. Today, each of these regions could be a different universe, having its own distinct laws of low energy physics.

By analyzing the mechanism (called "slow roll inflation") that initially generated the quantum fluctuations, the scientists could estimate the number of resulting universes at 10^10^10^7 (a number which is dependent on the model they used). However, this number is limited by other factors, specifically by the limits of the human brain. Since the total amount of information that one individual can absorb in a lifetime is about 10^16 bits, which is equivalent to 10^10^16 configurations, this means tha

The strongest limit on the number of possible universes is the human ability to distinguish between different universes.

Over the past few decades, the idea that our universe could be one of many alternate universes within a giant multiverse has grown from a sci-fi fantasy into a legitimate theoretical possibility. Several theories of physics and astronomy have hypothesized the existence of a multiverse made of many parallel universes. One obvious question that arises, then, is exactly how many of these parallel universes might there be.

In a new study, Stanford physicists Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin have calculated the number of all possible universes, coming up with an answer of 10^10^16. If that number sounds large, the scientists explain that it would have been even more humongous, except that we observers are limited in our ability to distinguish more universes; otherwise, there could be as many as 10^10^10^7 universes.

Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin at Stanford University in California, did a few back-of- the- envelope calculations, starting with the idea that the Big Bang was essentially a quantum process which generated quantum fluctuations in the state of the early universe. The universe then underwent a period of rapid growth called inflation during which these perturbations were "frozen," creating different initial classical conditions in different parts of the cosmos. Since each of these regions would have a different set of laws of low energy physics, they can be thought of as different universes.
