Why are they putting Madoff in jail?

He did not do anything other than what all money managers, financiers, and even investment advisors, do: And that is, to cause people and their money to quickly part. The Madoffs and the so-called Wall-Streeters and other money-loving advisors in this world spend their time inventing tricks and schemes to relieve the weak minded of their numbers and their goods.

But that money in transit never disappears.

When it is transferred from one pocket to another, one person’s so-called “loss” is another person’s so-called “gain”. So the question is, where are the “winners” keeping are the cash? Is it out of circulation, someplace?

It always exists.

Somewhere.

But, unfortunately, the “stimulus” pushers are, in reality, tricksters and schemers themselves, so they will never launch a program to track down the “lost” loot to bring it back onto the table, where it properly belongs. They fear that the tracks will lead directly to their own horded nests, and that they would run the risk of the crow-bar-hotel with the pitiful painful Madoffs of this world.

Safer for them to “stimulate” even though it waters down value, or eliminates it, altogether.

Enough has already been done, assuming that it was those efforts that had the positive effect. (I don’t believe it did anything more than push it off til later when treasuries collapse.) No more economic stimulus is needed.

Why in the world should a conscientious, hard-working Chinese or German support the “drunken-sailor” spending habits of the Anglo world? And why should their governments support the casino capitalism of the Anglo model? Why in the world would they not support themselves?

Agriculture is part of a primeval survival instinct for a nation or union of nations. It makes zero sense to abandon the ability to raise crops simply because someone in Africa or Asia works for less money. It makes no sense to totally live at someone else’s mercy especially in a world where one disruptive superpower beyond international law is liable to attack a country for a host of lies and illegal reasons. It is for this consideration that I cannot see any European country sacrificing their agriculture at the altar of a dying Anglo model.

I don’t buy the tired, old “bureaucrat” boogeyman argument. By nature, governments are non-profit. Bureaucrats put a man on the moon; and the examples go on ad on. Bureaucrats can beat private sector managers hands down, e.g., U.S. Medicare overhead is 3 % as compares with the private sectors’ app. 24%. Clear victory to the “bureaucrats.”

Running a government like a private sector company is like putting Dracula in charge of the garlic farm.

I wish ideologues would stop using the very word of “bureaucrat” as anything that follows it is unbalanced.
