Vintage pro-inflation propagandaInflation (1933)This propaganda film attempts to explain how inflation can bring about happy days.The title of the video is now changed to vintage pro-inflation propaganda. It has been brought to my attention that Roosevelt's policy was in no part influenced by John Maynard Keynes' theory. Calling it Keynesian is misleading. In fact, Kenyes was quite critical of FDR's New Deal. In an open letter to FDR published by New York Times on Dec 31, 1933 Keynes wrote:"Now there are indications that two technical fallacies may have affected the policy of your administration. The first relates to the part played in recovery by rising prices. Rising prices are to be welcomed because they are usually a symptom of rising output and employment. When more purchasing power is spent, one expects rising output at rising prices. Since there cannot be rising output without rising prices, it is essential to ensure that the recovery shall not be held back by the insufficiency of the supply of money to support the increased monetary turn-over. But there is much less to be said in favour of rising prices, if they are brought about at the expense of rising output. Some debtors may be helped, but the national recovery as a whole will be retarded. Thus rising prices caused by deliberately increasing prime costs or by restricting output have a vastly inferior value to rising prices which are the natural result of an increase in the nation's purchasing power.""I do not mean to impugn the social justice and social expediency of the redistribution of incomes aimed at by N.I.R.A. and by the various schemes for agricultural restriction. The latter, in particular, I should strongly support in principle. But too much emphasis on the remedial value of a higher price-level as an object in itself may lead to serious misapprehension as to the part which prices can play in the technique of recovery. The stimulation of output by increasing aggregate purchasing power is the right way to get prices up; and not the other way round."Thus, Keynes did not agree with FDR's way of cutting production to bring about inflation and he thought FDR's emphasis on inflation is misguided. Further in the letter he wrote about the money supply:"The other set of fallacies, of which I fear the influence, arises out of a crude economic doctrine commonly known as the Quantity Theory of Money. Rising output and rising incomes will suffer a set-back sooner or later if the quantity of money is rigidly fixed. Some people seem to infer from this that output and income can be raised by increasing the quantity of money. But this is like trying to get fat by buying a larger belt. In the United States to-day your belt is plenty big enough for your belly. It is a most misleading thing to stress the quantity of money, which is only a limiting factor, rather than the volume of expenditure, which is the operative factor."Keynes believed there was enough money to go around in 1933 and flooding the US with more money would not help recovering.Full text of the letter can be found here: http://newdeal.feri.org/misc/keynes2.htmI hope that clears up some confusion.Thanks to drmadjdsadjadi for pointing me to the Keynes letter.

"Inflation" Hans Richter, 1928. Tribute to the Fed in 2008!"Inflation", in the year of its 80th Birthday and in tribute to 'Helicopter' Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve System.Made by the legendary filmmaker Hans Richter in Germany (1928); a warning from the past.(In January, 1921, there were 64 marks to the dollar. By November, 1923 this had changed to 4,200,000,000,000 marks to the dollar.)The Federal Reserve, isn't a Federal institution (its a collection of private 'Reserve' banks) and does not back the dollar with anything of 'value'; i.e."Reserves".If you visit http://www.opensecrets.org you can see the public data on which of these banks are the leading campaign contributors to each of the Presidential Candidates in the 2008 elections.The only candidate I could find without a big bank on their 'top ten' (contributors by company) list is Ron Paul.I suggest you take a moment to think about why Ron Paul is the only candidate speaking publicly about Inflation and the Fed.http://www.ronpaul2008.com---------------------------------------Contributions from Selected Industries;Commercial Banks:http://opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp?Ind=F03Securities & Investment Industry:http://opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp?Ind=F07---------------------------------------"The result of this arrangement is inflation.

We are nine trillion dollars in debt as a nation. Our mounting government debt endangers the financial future of our children and grandchildren. If we don't cut spending now, higher taxes and economic disaster will be in their future — and yours.In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to "we the people."Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending.We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It's called the Constitution of the United States.

The West Wing - Secret plan to fight inflation-No copyright infringement intended. :-)
Zimbabwe - 1200 % inflationIt's difficult to believe your own eyes, but it is true.Why does the world ignore the plight of these people? Have they written off Africa? Do they feel embarrassed to witness this disgraceful excuse for a democracy?In S.A. we may have to wait another generation before people will accept that Apartheid can no longer be blamed for the present government's inherent lack of ability to plan ahead and govern effectively.As the wheel of history turns, there will come a time when it will no longer be fashionable to blame colonization for Africa's problems.If S.A. follows the same road as Zim (and the early signs are there) there may come a time when black people will allow whites to have a say again in the government of the country.Unfortunately, by then it may already be too late, and countless people will first have to die as the victims of crime and poverty.Some may say that the majority of people in South Africa are now suffering more than they ever did under so-called white rule, but because this suffering is caused by their own people, few are prepared to voice that opinion.
Fixing US Health Care Inflation -- Industry Analysis (28)Fixing US Health Care Inflation Industry Analysis (28)The US health care crisis was discussed in my previous video (#27). This video is about fixing the health care runaway inflation, which is in fact the heart of the problem. The following shows how to address the different causes of the inflation.New TechnologyUnlike the hi-tech industry where a new technology always brings down the price, the opposite is true when a company invents a new drug or testing equipment. The obvious reason is the five-year patent, which allows the company to charge a high price necessary for recovering the development costs. When the patent period expires and the generic products start to compete, the price may not come down because the company continues to market or hype its new brand for saving your life. The consumers do not have the expertise to question them and tend to accept what they say.An easy solution is to mandate all health care companies to publish their prices online to let the consumers compare. This will inject competition into the market. When a big price difference is shown to the public, the company charging a high price will try to mark down in order to compete. The key is transparency that will make the health care industry more competitive.Powerful LobbyMany legislators do not have the backbones to face the powerful lobbyists. They pass laws that favor the drug companies and other special interest groups. A concerted effort is required for the public, supported by employer, labor and other associations to counter the lobbyists. Remember the public has the votes to kick out any legislator who kowtows to special interests.Aggressive Lawyers and Defensive DoctorsTrial lawyers like the present situation to continue because there is no limit to compensation awarded due to medical malpractice or drugs that do permanent damage. This results in an uncertain business environment where the malpractice insurance for doctors skyrockets, thus contributing to the cost inflation. A law must be passed to limit the damage compensation to a reasonable amount so that doctors can operate without constant fear of being sued for exorbitant sums. This fear makes doctors extra defensive causing them to order unnecessary lab tests for the patient to guard against a lawsuit.Health InsuranceThe purpose of insurance is to cover for accidents or major events that do not occur everyday so that the insured are protected and the insurance companies can stay in business. Health care does not fit exactly into the regular insurance model, except for infrequent or catastrophic events such as pregnancy, cancer, heart attack, or traffic accidents. In these cases, health insurance can be less expensive and more affordable because of low occurrence of such events.However, another aspect of health care involves personal responsibility. What do you do when someone follows an unhealthy lifestyle that leads to frequent medical treatments? What do you do when someone often sees a doctor for the slightest body discomfort? If those people are required to pay for their own expenses each time, it will teach them a good lesson not to put extra strains on the entire health care system and push up its costs.Health insurance companies are no good in handling these two situations as described above. The result is higher premium for everybody, insuring only the healthier ones, complicated procedures, and refusal to pay without a valid reason. Even if the government takes over the insurance business, the problems will not go away. The key to solving this problem is more difficult including public education, personal responsibility, and disease prevention.BureaucracyThe streamlining of paperwork and bureaucracy in a huge industry like health care can always save billions of dollars. This is especially true if medical records are digitalized and centralized in secure databases.Fraud and CorruptionEvery year, the government has uncovered large sums of money wasted due to fraud or corruption. Tighter enforcement will further cut down this waste.Individual Health AccountsMany experts advocate individual saving accounts for health care. This has little effect on the runaway cost inflation. It merely opens doors for financial companies to tap into consumer savings. Remember the billions of dollars lost in 401k retirement plans in the 2008 financial meltdown? Consumers should beware of getting swindled for a second time.For further information, please email to stockfessor@comcast.net

Inflation and the Dollar's crashUS Bank System CollapsingA View from the Southern Hemisphere.......Please subscribe, rate and pass this video along as quickly as possible. Thank you.Over 90% of America did not want to passage of HR3997. The US Congress was held at "Executive Gun Point" and told: "you either pass this bill or we will declare martial law."The most painful part of HR3997 is the shift in the final bill. What was the shift? Unbeknownst to the American people, however, is that since September 20th, the $700 billion bailout bill signed into law by their President yesterday was expanded from its original 3 pages to a 451 page virtual novel of new laws virtually enslaving them to the foreign holders of their debt.In addition, there are reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that the first deployment of Chinas elite People's Armed Police (PAP) under an agreement signed between the United States and China, and US Homeowners Soon To Be Evicted By Chinese Police Under New Law HR3997.Even more disturbing, these reports continue, are that these new laws not only give Chinese and European banks control over the mortgage debt of the American people, they now include their credit card balances, and which virtually the entire US populace have indebtedness to.To how utterly chilling this new US law for the American people, titled the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Russian legal experts point out in these reports that:Section 101 (a)(1) establishes what is termed the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to which substantial portions of what the American people currently owe to their banks and financial institutions is to be turned over the US Government for redistribution to foreign banks.Section 101(c)(3) Designates for the first time in American history these foreign banks as financial agents of Federal Government with full law enforcement authority over the citizens in the US.Section 3 (b) allows the US Secretary of the Treasury to put any kind of debt, including credit card, home loans, personal loans, automobile loans, etc., into the TARP programme.Section 112 allows the US Secretary of the Treasury to astoundingly extend financing to foreign banks to purchase the debt of the American people.Section 112 (1)(a) allows the US Government to hold stocks in companies for the first time in their history and which completely destroys the capitalist economy of their Nation.Section 119 (2)(a) gives the US Secretary of the Treasury dictatorial powers not reviewable by courts making this position the most powerful one in America.Section 122 increases the US public debt to the incredible amount of $11,315,000,000,000 (Trillion)Section 204 puts the United States under emergency economic rule and states, "all provisions of this Act are designated as an emergency requirement and necessary to meet emergency needs.The clip here is from the newest addition of Zeitgeist explaining the Federal Reserve.Money Mechanics, the document explained in this clip may be found at:http://landru.i-link-2.net/monques/mm...FAIR USE NOTICE: We are making this material available in our efforts to advance understanding of environmental, political, human rights, economic, democracy, scientific, and social justice issues, etc. We believe this constitutes a "fair use" of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law.

Inflation explainedInflation and unemployment rate.Edit 18.4.2008: Okay, yeah, I know this video is missing the real point of inflation. I created this when I first started to study economics, and indeed it does not explain how expanding monetary base accelerates inflation. Also it does not say anything about cost-pull inflation. So this video just provides the extremely simplistic short-run explanation for certain type of inflation...nothing more, nothing less. If u already know the basics of economics then sure...u'll be just wasting ur time watching this.I will be doing new vid some day...
Cosmic Inflation and the Accelerating Universe - Part 1Alan H. Guth describes the theory of inflation and presents evidence that indicates our universe very likely underwent a perod of inflation in its early existence. He also discusses the surprising observation that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, offers possible explanations for this acceleration, and describes its impact on particle physics.http://www.meta-library.net/cq-guth/howdo-frame.html

Inflation, deflation, subprime mortgage crisis, & banksOn clarification: I shouldn't have said ALL the interest goes to a bank. Part generally goes to either the Fed or depositor of an interest bearing account. The bank only skims the difference in the interest rates.My views on the debate about inflation vs. deflation and the subprime mortgage crisis.keywords: bear stearns banking parasitic foreclosure home house fed federal reserve central bank goldman sachs repo collapse dollar yen us japan recession m3 gdp gnp crisis inflationSee how the banks are manipulating the foreclosure market. You can use this information to buy foreclosures by timing your purchase. December 8, 2008Look at my video ' Real Estate market bottom' to see how to tell the bottom.See also video "make more money on sale of house "It is now apparent that there is a detailed plan to take money away from investors by conning them to buy foreclosures, and have the entire market deflate. Go tohttp://www.financialsense.com/editorials/reality/2005/0403.htmlYou will notice this is a 2005 article.May 23, 2008. The existing home sales came out today with an average loss of $1500 per month for the median US Home price over the last year. Most people have no conception how this is impacting their lives. If you had $200,000 in equity last year, you just lost 7% of your equity. In California, it was probably more. If you had sold your house last year and moved into a rental, you would have zero cost for living in the rental. If you had moved into 2 specific real estate purchases, you could have increased your capital and retained your mortgage deduction. You would actually be further ahead.Losses in home equity will accelerate for the next year. If you become underwater in your present equity, you could be stuck in your present property for many years or have to come up with substantial separation money to preserve your credit rating.The foreclosure bailout proposed by the congress is just window dressing in order to forestall a panic. What is going to happen is that this will only delay the panic, not forestall it. If you read the fine print, the lender has to agree to provisions of the bill. How likely is that?What you see happening in the market today is that 25% of the sales are due to sale of foreclosed homes. Because of the banks holding back inventory, there are at least 4 bids for every sale.This will change shortly.The subprime loans that are supposed to reset this summer,means that the house are really going to be back on the market by June 2009. The logic goes like this. The notice of reset for August 2008 have already gone out. In August , the owner of the subprime loan is going to do his/her best to make the payments. He will get a 2 or 3 job in some cases. Maybe his wife will too. In any case, the owner uses up his savings and cannot make the payments. This takes 2 months, on average.The owner realizes it is impossible to continue and finally stops making the payment. His savings are exhausted, and now he has to acquire money to be able to move.He needs the mortgage payment to restore his savings, so he can move. Minimum average move is going to cost $5000 or more.The lender now starts the foreclosure process. Sometimes the lender takes more than 6 months to prosecute the foreclosure.Then there is another month or 2 in which to prepare the property for sale.So, let's see how this all adds up. 2 + 6 + 2 = 10. 10 months from August 2008 is June 2009.So the majority of the resets will not even hit the market until June 2009. And the average length of time to sell this property will be 11 months, if not longer. So the minimum time for the market to hit the bottom will be after May 2010.The average price decline, here in California, will be more than $2000 per month. If you invest in property today, you will lose almost all of your equity.What no says today, is that the property that has an equity line of credit will also reset to a higher interest rate once the property falls below 110% of the initial loan amount. This is a huge overhang to the market, and could make these loans now subject to default.Who knows where this will end?Based on this scenario, what is the best way to make money in real estate today?Sell any real estate that you have, even into today's declining market. Then wait for the turn in the market to buy back, better than ever. That time is more than 2 years away.July 27, 2008 update:As I write this, the senate just passed the foreclosure help bill. The immediate effect is to raise the interest rates on homes. Why? Because the lenders will now have to calculate how they are going to get a reasonable return on their money that they lend. They now have to include the cost of taking a writedown on their loan if the buyer defaults. The net effect of higher rates means that the price of the house has to go down if the buyer cannot increase his payment. In Stockton Calif., 1 house in 25 is now in foreclosure.
