    Michael Hudson has just REGULATED!!! Stunningly cogent analysis of this clusterfuck. The man doesn't mince words. Time to donate to TRNN. Please have MH on as often as possible TRNN.

    We can all share the message, keep pushing the issue and ask questions. Make people think. We who know the truth have an ethical and moral obligation to help those who are yet asleep, blinded of the truth, to be brought to the light! Don't just hope, do something! Share this stuff, speak to your friends about this issues, do not simply sit there and wait for others to search for the truth, for it is well hidden! We must do our best to spread the truth!

    Labor/ production, consumption, goods and services in the economy. American worker's wages have never recovered since the 1970's. 40 plus years of Neoliberalism. From reagan to Obama's and Trump's gig economy.

    Thanks Michael and Paul, Great interview. Lets all start by identifying the root of are problems. In this case the government, banking and corporate elites class warfare. Then make any and all moves you can to defend yourself. May I suggest starting by not feeding the monsters! That means cut any way or thing that you can to reduce your taxes. Things like stopping smoking cigarettes. Then move on to banking fees. If your underwater on your home mortgage, just completely default on it.

    @SmellyJunkie In Argentina's 2001 economic crisis, people's bank accounts were frozen to prevent just that, while the currency was devalued. The big banks, like Citibank, on the other hand, received advance warning from the government that the currency was about to drop, so they quickly pulled out huge amounts of money from the country.

    Low wages and lack of spending power is a large driving force in the down turn of the economy. COnsumers simply cannot buy everything that is produced anymore so the economy starts shutting down. Factories cut back or close, warehouses fill up with stuff people no longer have money to buy.

    How can we find blame in any group or person when all along we didn't stop it?
    It's not like this hasn't happened before.

    If Mike doesn't know how it works no one does. Empire is the game. Money it's essence although it may reside in the city of London this century and my city another that doesn't matter. We had our time in the sun but now the sun is setting and will shine bright for the financial parasite in another part of the world. Don't forget to vote.

    I agree with you to some degree but even now gold and silver are over priced. Take a look at the cost to mine an ounch of either and you will find your paying to much now and it will crash also.
    So what do we do? You have to eat and drink. We need shelter and energy invest in that.

  • @ytgv3fc7

    the economy is already impoverished. A depression is unavoidable. One way is hyperinflation. One way is prolonged stagnation before deflation. You must pick one path. You are on one of those paths.
    At least this time around some people may clue in and refuse to play ball, instead going independent of corporate influence and buying and really hit Reset and hit it hard. The status quo including stimulus is a failure and dangerous to any future personal earnings. Ever.

    That's because we are repeaters and we forget rather quickly how the system really works. We must burn this time in our minds and after it shakes out never let it happen again.

    It's not really our money it belongs to the Federal Reserve (bankers) they can cancel it anytime they want. Then they can start over with another form of paper.

    Bring on a depression? I've always said the corporate interests will one day bite their own hand because if the wage earners don't have the cash, they won't buy the products. It's pretty simple.

    the only thing hes skipping is the short term interest of ceos...more short term profits = higher bonuses....
    Once you have your bonus, it doesnt matter if your company goes down under...the corporate bonus stucture is the smart parasite here.
    Imo of course :)

    @elgringorumbero
    I'm with you, and we need strategies. The struggle isn't so much military as financial. There needs to be an alternative currency that circumvents the debt-based monetary system. Somehow producers, distributors, retailers, and labor need to develop trade outside the dollar and other fiat urrencies. That's one way to cripple bank power.

    yes, there is plenty of blame to go around. but when it's time for the accountability to go around, there won't be much of it passed on to the banks and financial fraudsters and that is pretty much the focal point of the outrage many people are feeling. an entire class of criminals has bought their way out of facing the consequences of their actions, leaving the majority of us behind.

    I feel like Spike Lee's character in Do The Right Thing. I just want to throw a trashcan through a window and bring on the Depression!
    This fake recovery is bullshit.
    The crooks have been pardoned without being prosecuted, and we've even refinanced and re-empowered them!
    30yrs of misrule need to be addressed. A short sharp shock would be better than 30 more years of being bled dry.
