This action is deflationary

Yet there are many indicators of inflation in the economy.

Wonder which will win out?

Cramer was on the Today Show this morning. They showed his explosion from last year and he said (paraphrase) "many in the government thought this was a rant. It actually turned out to be very prophetic." It was something close to that. Apparently he has forgotten about his Bear Sterns prediction...

Inflation in the form of price rises, occur when there's too much money chasing too few goods.

Money comprises two parts: Money supply and credit lines.

Money supply is hyperinflating and credit is contracting.

This means that things you buy with regular money will go up in price, while things you buy with credit/debt (higher priced items) will go down in price.

Is this deflation? Yeah, under certain definitions. But in real life, you're paying more in taxes, more in gas prices, more in other energy prices, more in grocery prices. But hey, those SUVs and houses are getting cheaper all the time! :)

The bankruptcy was for the holding company, and it was a mere formality as 100% of the assets have collateralized claims on them. The actual bank did not declare bankruptcy as this is illegal. Kind of ironic isn't it? Banks can't declare BANKruptcy.

Banking fraud runs deep in these neoCON families.

Disorganized crime?
