Albert Edwards On The Upcoming Economic "Abyss"

As always, Albert Edwards provides a solid dose of economic observations based on facts, not hope...unless you truly believe that the stock market is its own isolated bubble, which many do, at some point cash from assets will have to support equity and debt valuations. And once the government cash funding vacuum pops, the market-economy divergence will also collapse. At that point, every dollar used by the government via stimulus and Federal Reserve pumps will have an equal and opposite effect on stocks, thereby throwing America not just into a debt funding crisis, but a complete economic and capital market tailspin. Alas, it appears impossible to prevent this, as the administration and the Federal Reserve Chairman are dead set on executing their inherently flawed experiment...and the American middle class.

Unofficial Economic Policy: Re-Inflate the Bubble

...the Administration and the Democratically-controlled congress are dead set on re-inflating the housing bubble. There are two proposals at play: 1) extending the first-time homebuyer tax credit and 2) Increasing the loan limit amounts for Fannie, Freddie and FHA.
