Been watching "Logans Run" too much I see .....

However, you're not ENTIRELY wrong.

A deliberate effort to poop on the value/virtue
of mega-motherhood is needed. Breeding alone ought
not earn anyone any favors or respect.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never ever had a fucking clue about anything at all, ever.

The only place population growth occurs now is in 3rd world countrys which have fuck all credit, let alone excessive
credit.

If that were true, then the highest birth rate should be
in countries that have the most available consumer credit.
But the facts show the countries with more available credit
actually have lower birth rates, and the highest birth rates
are in countries with little or no consumer credit available.
Therefore, your assertion is 100% wrong.

Actually, it is a statically proven event that Population Bubble (s) are
caused by liberal Democrats.

So that is why population boomed in China under a totalitarian
government? Like other wild assertions made by neo-conservatives,
this one is also blatantly false.

That's why it's best to confine the terms "inflation" and "deflation" to
aggregate, economy-wide effects. It just confuses the issues to mix those
aggregate rises and declines that are related to money-supply or
currency-value issues, or to GDP growth or shrinkage, with the price
increases and declines that occur in different sectors. The latter are
supply/demand issues, even if the demand is purely speculative.

The aggregate effects tell you about the state of an economy. The sector
effects tell you that something different is going on in different sectors.
They're different issues. Everyone has gotten a little loose in their use of
the terms inflation and deflation so now it's hard to tell what the hell is
going on or what it is they're talking about.

If you have aggregate inflation or deflation, they *are* linked. However,
effects going on in different sectors can be stronger than overall inflation
or deflation, so those sector effects can mask the aggregate effects in
specific sectors.

Again, that's why it just confuses things to talk about inflation or
deflation in a particular sector.

No. Their answer to *declining demand* has been to inflate the money supply.
That's the monetary policy that's usually followed first to deal with
falling demand.

The stock market isn't something that policy deals with directly. It tends
to have a life of its own, but it does, in the long run, reflect what's
going on in the economy.

I don't know about his world. What I'm talking about is the economic world
as it's presently understood and how it influences policy.

But there is no "aggregate, economy-wide effects". Different parts
act in different ways during the same time frame. Politicians want a
simple label to simplify spinning their BS. Same way with ideologies.
There is no 'left' or 'right' political spectrum. Either you have
rights and power or you do not. I hope the day of the politician is
over.

For example, real estate will have to be priced lower to accommodate
fewer buyers and a weakened dollar. There are excepted areas but that
will be the tendency. Expect 1960s or earlier house prices within a few
years. But don't hold on to dollars expecting to later make a killing
because the purchasing power of the dollar will fall.

In other words gentlemen, we're going back to ca 1957, and you won't
be able to take technocracy with you.

Yes there are, and you can measure them with a variety of summary measures,
ranging from GDP growth rates to currency exchange rates.

> Different parts
> act in different ways during the same time frame.

Of course. But inflation and deflation are measures of how they're connected
in a mutually reinforcing way. Employment rates and consumption rates, for
example. Some sectors are always countercyclical. There are people who make
their livings picking out which sectors those will be.

But on a macro scale, it matters whether you have aggregate inflation or
deflation. Once one takes hold in a big way it influences practically every
sector. And once one or the other is dominant, most sectors start feeding on
the spiral and forcing it all in the same direction. That's why aggregate
effects are the key issue: they often dominate the whole economy. Rarely
does one sector swing an economy around all by itself. People keep trying to
pin the current situation on a single sector -- housing speculation, or
financial derivatives -- but it's not that simple. One sector may act as a
trigger but it's the aggregate consequences that matter.

I was with you up until the last sentence. d8-) For the latter, see
Aristotle, _The Politics_.

The bottom in real estate is replacement value plus land value. Land value
is very sensitive to the state of the economy, but even more sensitive to
local supply and demand. Replacement value can get out of wack when there is
lots of building going on, as there was until recently.

But 1960s prices are far below even replacement value alone. I was selling
Cape Cods in Lansing, Michigan for $18,000 in 1970, and "colonials" for
$26,000. That's far below the materials costs plus minimum-wage labor today.

I'm not a betting man but I doubt if house prices will fall in most regions
of the country by more than another 15%, or possibly 20% tops. That would be
the "real" bottom, IMO. But the nationwide averages could drop more than
that, because there are many overbuilt areas where there was lots of
speculative building but there just aren't going to be any buyers at all,
unless there is enough growth in local employment to make people able to
live there again.

BTW, house prices in my town are moving up slowly, but steadily, and only
took a slight two-month dip in early 2007. This is an area that's fully
built and what you're seeing is straight supply/demand effects in a mature
market. There are plenty of such places around the country, but they're not
the ones you hear about.

That is the solution.

We manufature criminals.
Then we manufacture drugs to sedate the voters.
Then we allow illegal immigrants into the country.
Then we sedate the voters. Those that refuse will be prosecuted.

Now all we have yo do is sedate the rest of the world so we cam allow
aliens from other planets to work for social security.

Reganomics and the trickle down economy.

Only my experience, but I have been using them for years, both dollar
store and other and only had one brand burn out early. None of the
others have quit and I cycle them on and off quite often. When
Possible, I have purchased name brands like GE or Sylvania that were
on sale for less than $2. CFL bulbs are made differently. They don't
require the gas seal at the base and can be pulled apart without much
effort. I believe they should design a better locking system on
certain models.

I previously posted about re-wiring my doorbell so it would use electricity
only when the button was pressed. I also went through my house and placed
everything I could find which was "always on" on a switch or power strip.

I replaced power strips which had lights on them with power strips which
have no light. I wired switches to all GFCI outlets so I can turn them off
when not in use. I have a rooftop TV antenna amplifier which was "always on"
and I wired a switch to that.

I placed my entertainment center things on 4 individual power strips (no
lights) so I could turn on only what I was using. (Like just TV and DVD, or
playstation, or satellite TV - don't need to have on components which are
not being used.)

I placed several power strips on my computer stuff. So just computer on -
printer on separate power strip and off when not in use. Everything totally
off when not in use.

Placed outlet switches on HEPA air cleaners (have always on timers for
filter replacement).

Placed power strips (no power on light) on bedroom, garage small stereos.
Etc.

Anyway my electric bill is now $2.50 per month less and will be so for the
rest of my life. That's $30 a year or being as my electric bill is now under
$30 a month - one month of free electricity!

Hi,
My electricity costs 7 cents per KWh locked for 5 years. What if you
keep powering up/down multiple devices and a surge cause a damage. The
repair cost may far exceed the 2.00 per month. If I wanted to save
electric energy my way would be using more efficient devices or minimize
the usage by careful planning ahead.

congrats how much did you spend for all the power strips etc?

some devices may not like being powered off repeatedly like you are
doing

congress should legislate a power off control for people who desire to
save max energy, a added requirement for energy star

the satellite tv uses off hours to doiwnload guide updates, powered
off completely may get you a aging guide.

We use DVRs which arent compatible with no power. Ours record shows
all day and all nite long

Our son recently took a job between Denver & Boulder CO. It's been some
30 years since we vacationed in the area, but still have fond memories,
having enjoyed that memorable vacation very much.

When doing a Best Places comparison, the quality of life, taxes, climate
& cost of living look appear very attractive. Sales and income taxes
appear moderate while property taxes appear very reasonable. As I
approach SS, income taxes have a minimal concern where property taxes
will likely be the biggest (tax) cost after retirement. Downside
appears to be the 100 inches/yr of snow, but the number of sunny days &
moderate temperatures for most of the year appear attractive. General
cost of living, quality of life and housing costs appear attractive.

Any one have thoughts / experience with retirement living in towns just
northwest of Denver?

Don't know anything about living there but whenever I think of Denver
I think of all those "white tepees" on the airport roofs. They're
supposed to look like snow covered mt peaks but they sure look like
teepees to me. Also, when flying out of Denver, the pilot announced
that because of a noise ordinance he would have to make a much steeper
ascent than usual. Kinda like a carnival ride.:)

The person asked if anyone had any experience with retirement town NW
of Denver, You said you don't know anything about living there. Why
did you bother to post anything? Get a life!

I grew up in Boulder. Work has taken me elsewhere, but I still
consider Boulder and the front range as home. The Denver smog can
be atrocious when there is a heat inversion, though it is a
limited circumstance and easily dissipated by the winds. Winters
are mild, snow seldom stays on the ground more than a few days.
We never had air conditioning nor did anyone else we knew. There
are plenty of fine arts between Denver and the University.
Restaurants galore. More day trips than you can do in a life
time. Television signals suck as they bounce on the mountains,
but I suppose most have cable today. Hunting and fishing abound.
Professional sports and all the personal sports except surfing,
salt water fishing, and deep sea diving.

I'm starting to wonder why I ever left. I'm sounding like a
chamber of commerce ad.

I can not understand why some one would retire in a cold climate.

I told him what to expect at the Denver airport. What did you tell him
about Denver?

75F is tends to be my upper temperature tolerance. My brother in law
has a condo just north of Tampa which he gladly offers us to use for
weeks. We tried it for a week (in February). No thanks - even free.

Our son was previously in Phoenix. We limited our visits to Feb -
March - glad he left.. Same for my wife's relatives in MS - strictly a
winter visit. Went once in July many years ago. Never again.
