GNP NOT IMPORTANT
Yesterday the InterWeb was ablaze on China’s economy being
on track to surpass that of the US this year.
Those with half a brain paused, looked at each other, made “Ya Friggin
Think?” faces and went on about their business.
China makes almost everything we need, the US makes financial toxins in
computer form. China is run by
engineers, the US by lawyers. But when I
tuned in to Pravda Broadcasting Systems last night at 7:30 for their business
news, I was subjected to the embarrassment of talking heads poo-pahing the
news. Oh, don’t worry, they said, China
has a gabazillion people so a bigger economy doesn’t mean anything. Another one, With A Straight Face!!!!, said
that their economy might be bigger, but their stock market has declined for
five years unlike ours, so it doesn’t count.
Our stock market is a sham, in multitudes of ways from the Fed pumping
its inflation into it to stocks being the worst investment possible as it now
takes about three hundred years to earn back your investment-which assumes they
even pay dividends any more. Something
tells me that when Britain lost its Empire it might have been in denial for a
time, but I find it hard to believe that the apologists ever embarrassed
themselves this badly.

I wonder, if their economy is doing so well how long will it take them to realize that the bonds they have are worthless, dump em, and sorta unintentionally crash our market. Funny thing about their GNP some conservation group tried to institute like a "green gnp" and China was docked HUGE because of their carbon footprint, their green gnp was half of the other.
ReplyDeleteIf the bond dump is a strategic tool, which is all it is worth, it will be well timed ( for them ).
DeleteOn the bright side, Chinese food is really good. So when they take over the world it will be some good Watson's

That was supposed to be 'some good eating'.
DeleteI hate auto correct. Imagine what it's going to be like when you have to use Google translate to go from English to Chinese and add auto correct on top of it.
