America Is Trying To Borrow Its Way Out Of Recession

America is trying to borrow its way out of recession. We are creating debt now in order to push up prices and create the illusion of prosperity. To do this you must convince people that inflation is a good thing…even while they instinctively prefer low prices to high. But rising asset prices do little to help the underlying economy. That is why we have been stuck in what some economists are calling a “jobless recovery.” The real reason it’s jobless is because it’s not a real recovery! - in Macro Business

Going Back To Real Money

“When the dollar collapses, hopefully we learn our lesson from this and we go back to real money. We go back to a gold standard and stop trying to think of another government gimmick that is going to work better. It won’t. The politicians want these gimmicks because they can exploit them. They can’t get around gold. Gold forces politicians to behave honestly, which is what they don’t want to do.” - in Europac Metals

A High Level Of Complacency

"In fact, right now you’ve got a high level of complacency. The stock markets are rallying to new highs, nominal highs. People seem to be convinced that the worst is behind us, that the central banks of the world have solved their problems by papering them over. But, you know, I don’t think they’ve solved anything. I think they’ve compounded the underlying problems that caused the last crisis, and so now the next crisis will be that much worse because of what the central banks did, in particular the Federal Reserve." - in GoldSeek

Gold: Most People Don`t Understand The Fundamentals

"The fundamentals have favored higher gold prices all along. It's just that most people don't understand how great the fundamentals are. They believe the myth of the U.S. recovery. They believe the Fed can actually unwind its balance sheet, that it can end QE, that it can raise interest rates and that the economy is going to keep on expanding. None of that is going to happen. It's all fantasy." - in CNBC

The Concept Of "Inflation"

"The new monetary morality has nothing to do with virtue, and everything to do with necessity. It is no accident that the concept of "inflation" has experienced a dramatic makeover during the past few years. Traditionally, mainstream discussion treated inflation as a pestilence best vanquished by a strong economy and prudent bankers. Now it is widely seen as a pre-condition to economic health. Economists are making this bizarre argument not because it makes any sense, but because they have no other choice."

Wealth Disparity And Free Markets

"You're always going to have people that are wealthier than others in a free market and we don't want to prevent that from happening. But right now the chasm between the rich and poor or maybe the middle class, is much wider than in a free-market economy and that is because of the policies of the Fed, that's because of the policies come ought of Washington. But what the Democrats are advocating isn't going to make that situation better. It's going to make it worse." - in CNBC

Yellen: First Interest Rate Hike May Come In Early 2015

"Although bond yields remain close to record low territory, thanks to continued QE buying, we have seen vividly in recent years how the markets react negatively to any hint of higher rates. That’s why any indication that the Fed will lift rates from zero can be enough to plunge the markets into the red. The biggest market reaction to Yellen’s press conference this week came when the Chairwoman seemed to fix early 2015 as the time in which rates could be lifted from zero. That possibility slapped the markets like a frigid polar wind." - in Macro Business

We Have To Get The Government Out Of The Economy

"So we have to get the government out of the economy, getting rid of as many government agencies and departments as possible, start repealing most of the laws and regulations that have been put on the books for the last 50 years, maybe more. If we do that, we can unleash the entrepreneurialism, the free market capitalism that produced what was once the wealthiest nation in the history of the world.

The wealth that America enjoyed was unprecedented in the world. The American standard of living was unequalled anywhere on the planet. That’s not the case today. There are people who live better than Americans, but in the 1940s, 1950s, that was not the case.

The American middle class was the envy of the world. And it wasn’t created because of government programs, it wasn’t created because of consumer spending, it was created because of the freedom that enabled our entrepreneurs to succeed." - in The Epoch Times

The Stealth Tax Of Inflation

"The red flags contained in the national and global headlines that have come out thus far in 2014 should have spooked investors and economic forecasters. Instead the markets have barely noticed. It seems that the majority opinion on Wall Street and Washington is that we have entered an era of good fortune made possible by the benevolent hand of the Federal Reserve. Ben Bernanke and now Janet Yellen have apparently removed all the economic rough edges that would normally draw blood. As a result of this monetary “baby-proofing,” a strong economy is no longer considered necessary for rising stock and real estate prices.

But unfortunately, everything has a price, even free money. Our current quest to push up asset prices at all costs will come back to bite all Americans squarely in the pocket book. Death and taxes have long been linked by a popular maxim. However, there also exists a similar link between debt and taxes. The debt we are now incurring in order to buttress current stock and real estate will inevitably lead to higher taxes down the road. However, don’t expect the taxes to arrive in their traditional garb. Instead, the stealth tax of inflation will be used to drain Americans of their hard earned purchasing power." - in Macro Business

Freedom From Government

"Freedom from government. That’s what freedom is all about, when the government doesn’t tell you what to do. Today the government tells everybody what to do. The government calls the shots. The government basically is organizing the economy. It’s directing resources and capital. It’s micromanaging from Washington, D.C. It’s our version of central government planning. In the process it’s taking away individual choice and personal freedom." - in The Epoch Times

Manufacturing Renaissance? Not Happening.

"It’s not happening. Anybody that talks about a manufacturing renaissance in the United States doesn’t have a clue about what is actually going on. I am hopeful that this will happen in the future. But I don’t think it will happen until our phony, stimulus-dependent economy collapses, until we hit rock bottom. So I think we are going to have a currency crisis that ultimately forces a restructuring of our economy." - in The Epoch Times

Asset Bubbles Reflation

"All Janet Yellen and Ben Bernanke have succeeded in doing is reflating the bubbles in the real estate market. But that adds to our structural problems. It doesn't solve them.

Bullish On Singapore and Hong Kong

"I’m always looking around the world to see which countries are in the least bad shape, which countries are the least reckless and the least irresponsible. You really can’t find any one country that’s doing it perfectly. You just have to find the ones that are making the fewest mistakes.

And I think high on that list are Singapore and Hong Kong. Those markets are relatively free of regulation, free of taxation. I mean, it’s not nonexistent, but on a relative basis you have a lot more freedom there, and so you have a lot more prosperity there. You have much better economic fundamentals. And not just in those two places, but in Southeast Asia in general, in a lot of the emerging economies, you’ll find a lot less government and a lot more freedom. People are working harder, they’re saving, they’re producing, and they’re exporting. You don’t have these trade deficits, budget deficits, and you don’t have armies of people looking to retire on government entitlements." - in ZH

What’s Really Is Going On With Inflation

"What’s really is going on with inflation is that you have a huge transfer of wealth from savers and lenders to debtors, and of course the US government is the world’s biggest debtor, but a lot of American voters are in debt too.

If you’re a saver and you don’t want to watch your assets confiscated through the printing press, then you’re going to try to protect yourself." - in ZH

The Beginnings Of Capital Controls In The U.S.

"If you’re a saver and you don’t want to watch your assets confiscated through the printing press, then you’re going to try to protect yourself. You might do that by moving your dollars abroad, converting them to foreign currencies, trying to get out of harm’s way, and that’s when you have the government potentially coming in with capital controls.

Putting taxes on foreign currency transactions or maybe outright prohibiting them altogether, that will make it more difficult for you or more expensive to take protective measures. I think we’ve already got the beginnings of capital controls in the United States. The government is making it very difficult for Americans to do business abroad." - in Doug Casey's International Man blog

U.S. Economy: Completely Dependent On Cheap Money

"The Fed is right now trying to prop the economy up, the housing market up with cheap money, and it is operating under the delusion that one day it can take that cheap money away and the economy and the housing market will just sustain on their own, but that’s not possible. The Fed is building an economy that is completely dependent on that cheap money. And so if you take it away, the economy implodes, but if you don’t take it away, then it’s worse." - in Doug Casey's International Man blog

We Don`t Save Enough In America

"One of the problems we have in America is that interest rates are too low. We don’t save enough, we spend too much, we borrow too much, we don’t produce enough. So we have these huge external imbalances where we borrow from the rest of the world. We have to import goods, because we don’t invest in productivity.

We are not producing the goods. But all this is done to try to maintain the illusion of health, so Americans can keep on spending. So politicians can actually pretend the economy is getting better. But all we are doing is actually covering up the symptoms. Beneath the surface, the economy is actually deteriorating. Eventually it’s going to collapse." - in The Epoch Times

The Sad Fact About QE

"The sad fact is that QE can push up prices in stocks and real estate, but can do very little to affect positive change in the real economy.

The Economy Has Been Weak Recently

"In truth, economic activity persists in good weather and bad. Winter is largely predictable. It comes around once a year, basically on schedule. Consumers are used to the patterns and know how to deal them. But don't tell this to today's economists.

A much more plausible explanation to me is that the economy has been weak recently because it is weak fundamentally.

The data deterioration corresponds not just to unseasonably low temperatures but also to the diminishment of monthly QE from the Federal Reserve. If you recall the highly anticipated "taper" finally began in mid- December. From my perspective the Quantitative Easing has become the sunshine that drives our phony economy. Diminish that sunshine and the economic winter spreads." - in Schiff Radio

"While it’s easy to conclude that the Polar Vortex has been responsible for an excess of school shutdowns and ice related traffic snarls, it’s much harder to conclude that it’s responsible for the economic vortex that appears to have swallowed the American economy over the past three months. But this hasn’t stopped economists, Fed officials, and media analysts from making this unequivocal assertion. In reality the weather is not what’s ailing us. It’s just the latest straw being grasped at by those who believe that the phony recovery engineered by the Fed is real and lasting. The April thaw is not far off. Unfortunately the economy is likely to stay frozen for some time to come." - in Value Walk

The Right Reason To Buy Gold

"The right reason for most investors to buy gold is as a long-term hedge against inflation and financial instability.

Gold is humanity's oldest form of money and wealth preservation. A hundred years ago, a gold coin could buy you a custom tailored suit. The same is true today. The purchasing power of gold remains relatively constant over the long-term.

On the other hand, fiat money has historically always failed. The US dollar has not been backed by gold since 1971, which means it has lasted more than four decades as a purely fiat currency. The history of great empires suggests that its time is almost up." - in Finance Townhall
