Inflation and blooming debt will get a ‘pass’ for a few years due to the inflationary pressures we sure hope don’t last like Japan’s (their Nikkei 200 now 25% of what it was on the last day of 1989 at 38,916 when it was 13x the Dow). $53 Bil. at last look has been spent of the $787 Bil. (albeit about $300 Bil of it tax cuts also yet to come), Obama denying a 2nd (really the 3rd) Stimulus, so no wonder things are sluggish, after some Q2 euphoria after almost slipping off a financial cliff in Q4.

Things are NOT moving forward as some expected (see Consumer confidence off 10%, Dow off 4 weeks) but should (hopefully) pick up in a month or so.

Now we find out the true underemployed/unemployed figure is 20.6% or over 30 mil. adding those who have been out over a year. Oh well. One was in court, recently, ‘You are here for drinking”. “Great, when do we start?” Order in the court!” “Ok, make mine scotch”.

With that I’ll close, as I could talk this stuff all day.

Keep ‘em coming, Raghav!

Note: There was no complaining in this article. (big difference between a complaining and “keeping it real”)

If you are in the top 10% of your field, you will be fine.

The real problem is we been sold a bill of goods in our lovely (socialist)educational system.. Go to school, get a good job, save for retirement = MEDIOCRITY

What the world needs is “people who come alive”….

And you WON’T come alive, unless you LOVE your Vocation!

And we still haven’t rid outselves of the Wall Street Banksters that continue to suck us clean with their AVERAGE management total comp levels running north of $400K per year, topped with executive comp that could buy small countries. These levels of pillage cannot represent “value for money”. They can only represent levels of self indulgence that work against shareholder value, in the same way that the Governor of South Carolina has so publicly eroded his own family values.

Financial markets and corporate compensation practices need to be constrained by careful regulation to provide the working capital and performance incentives for creating real market value, instead of the engines of greed, deception, and the erosion of American competitive advantage that they have now become.

Then, maybe Dustin can read something a bit more to his liking when he gets up in the morning. Not until.

Internationally, the countries with intelligent and cheap labor with a lower cost of doing business–not us– will do well as he pointed out.

The need for recruiters will remain. IMO, there’ll just be need for a lot fewer of them (us) as globalism economically “makes the Earth flat,” as Thomas Friedman wrote.

I don’t believe we can continue to both provide for everyone through government while fostering a pro business/jobs creation environment as government sucks too much money out of the private sector economy as well as squeezing out other borrowers in competition for capital.

I think Raghav for this sobering piece as it’s possible the paradigm is broken, we’ve hit critical mass, and things won’t be returning as they always have.
