My thinking says that it does and that it would create more and more problems as it grows.

My thought here is that, what if the universe is not expanding from some point, but that it is expanding due to the transfer of matter at the edge of the universe?

In a sense, could it be converting nothing, or anti-matter or something else, into matter, space, and time at the edge and this causes expansion? Like a farmer expanding his fields by cutting down trees...

Doesn't the $14T+ only represent deficits of the last 30 years? Or am I misunderstanding this?

Because 30 year bonds mature, isn't the debt higher due to higher yields? I must believe that this is only part of the answer, what is the rest?

It is a shot in the dark and I really am asking for direction on the subject.

I have searched the internet, yet I can not find charts (preferred) that show world production in the 1920s for commodities and durable goods?

If the dollar is allowed to increase in value, goods and services become cheaper. Wouldn't one of these be health care?

A small price to pay for a bigger trade deficit I would think...

The castle has gone afloat,

The moat has been filled in!

The king is also dead,

We have a goat instead!

The fancy of our follies,

Has been replaced with sin,

The classes and all the ranks

Now free as individual men.

Be careful in your freedom,

The control of all is nigh!

Do not fret 'bout what's to come,

Beware of whom you place on high!

For if the king is dead,

Why do we keep the crown?

The first few generations,

Fought with freedoms power,

They need not walls nor perches

To defend nor see the hour.

They felt it in their heart,

When liberty's death was near.

Some how, some way they knew,

Freedom's safety is not fear.

Nor comes from collective might.

Liberty is only safe,

When men of their own, unite!

Now in time of serious heat,

We seek to anoint the crown,

Only to secure our own retreat

When enemies battle down.

Instead of training and prepare,

A wall is built to take its place.

Without a unity in defense,

We suffer the wrath of face!

The moat has been re-cast,

The crown held up too fast!

When failure finds its in

The wall of defense succumbs,

Becoming the prison that hides their sins!

With the FED wanting to do more as far as economic solutions and stimulus, why don't they unnationalize the base interest rate and allow fluctuation within its 12 districts?

It would cause some issues but would benefit by allowing certain regions to contract as other continue to grow. The one issue that might needs be solved would be to realign the districts.

Your thoughts?

I have heard the argument that a low minimum wage would hurt jobs because of the poverty line. These people must not understand that a lot of people work that are not necessarily the "bread winners" of their families. These including teens and others that would gladly have a job than no job at all. I am in favor of lowering the minimum wage to create jobs. Agree? or prove me wrong...

As we are carbon based, can we not simply capture carbon by increasing population instead of decreasing it?

This actually leads to a grander question: Is the reality of a large population on earth due to the fact that there is now enough carbon to go around? Through the burning of fossil fuels and mining, have we not released enough carbon to create ourselves? This question involves reference to the carbon cycle as too slow of a process to assist the human population's growth naturally.

Maybe a more interesting question: Is six feet under enough depth to slow carbons release from burial and would this be a case for being buried instead of cremated?

A lot of questions, but related I believe...

This percentage would be those that have not just given up for a time looking for work, but have accepted that they can never find work again?

I know they have heads of departments, but who is responsible for the checks and balances of each or is it of them in general? An ABC agency is the EPA, SEC, or FCC...

If we define debt as a type of artificial economy, then what does California actually produce and where would it then rank on the "biggest in the world" without its debt? I understand that debt is part of an economy, but at some point, which Cali has found, debt slows growth instead of bolstering it.

An example would be someone living with credit card debt and then trying to live without them due to either maxing them out or getting mad and living within their means. Their own personal real economy would have been "artificially inflated" because of the credit card.

Anti-trust laws destroyed big businesses at the turn of the 20th century. Oil being one of these...

Would these monopolies have failed at some point anyway? I understand that AIG wasn't a monopoly, but it seems that these corporations get too big for their britches so to speak. LTCM was a major disaster. Enron the same thing. Microsoft no longer has the hold it used to and before it was IBM.

The other consequence after anti-trust laws went into effect, was that oil (gas) became cheap and electric cars would have to wait to be competitively made for an hundred years.

First, a general thought and then back to the question.

I have heard that at one time Henry Ford tried to bypass suppliers by making everything for his cars. From the tires to the seats, Ford thought he could do it as one company and it backfired.

If this be true, can we not now see the weakness of combination banks not as "vertical" monopolies of one price and sector, but of dangers to themselves and us as "horizontal "monopolies across savings and loans, investments, and insurance services. By trying to capitalize on each sector, the banks spelled doom for themselves by trading internal money internally. This internal exchange seems to hide losses more easily and advantage goes to spread of debt.

The disadvantage is that of saturation of debt. It would seem that only so much loss can be spread over a certain area before the debt would be bigger than the area itself.

In Ford's case, if a loss were to be taken on any venture, the whole would absorb it. The point of critical mass would occur when an entity that would normally survive by itself, must carry the spread of debt of others and thus, would not be able to support itself and the "spread". This would compound the spread share to others and surviving entities would have to support it with even weaker ability with each failure.

Ford, as I understand it, now runs all of their businesses as separate entities so as to distinguish spread debt and real debt.

I have my own theories of course, but I want to know some truths too!

First, government spending was already happening, so that wasn't quite it. Second, more government spending happened too. So, what then was the reason that the U.S. was able to go from bust to superpower?

The "R" values are in favor of R-30, but wouldn't it be better to replace the double R-13 with R-30 as well as double check for foam insulation?
