The great debt crash

[errolanderson]

The root of consumer cash squeeze is the sharp rise in debt servicing costs, not true inflation (in my view).

Central bankers have deliberately brought on this cash crunch with steady hikes. This situation totally bizarre. Inflation never had a long term shelf-life in the 1st place. Debt crisis would have solved it on its own, not bankers. My opinion.

Now just a bigger mess, courtesy of our local central bank. Rate cuts ahead, possibly sooner than later.

Watching TV and they were asking a guy about what he thought of the rate hikes.

Guys says he was thinking of buying a new vehicle but the interest rates and the prices prevent him from doing it.

If too many people think that way , the auto sector will be back on life support ( if it ever left).

But why would any country want to push its economy into a recession???????

Vehicles are disposable and in need of replacement inside of 10 years , why slow that segment down?

Why kneecap the economy on purpose?????

Auto industry in big trouble. We may hear about a major going under soon and wanting a bailout. Used cars prices diving.

Lots of action ahead for the slow-to-respond media to react to. They are still talking about inflation.

Asset values beginning-to-plunge as 'great debt crisis' taking hold . . . .

Vehicle prices have turned upside down over the past two months. Dealer discounts exploding. Hotel rates getting crushed. Corporate and personal bankruptcies surge in January. Home Depot, Walmart earnings slide. Energy prices tumbling. Grain fallout. This ain't inflation folks as advertised nightly by our biased media . . . .

Quite frankly, government inflation data and central bank policy is totally out-of-touch and out-to-lunch with incoming economic reality . . . . ProMarket Wire, Calgary

You must be living in a different world than me,
Everything is still short and very expensive here. One down day because Russia didn’t send a nuke over to Ukraine on the invasion anniversary. Go home and rewrite your story for monday.

We must have different news feeds, pretty sure the big news today was the cpi running hotter than expected. Signalling more rate hikes in the US, Cad dollar down half a percent today.

I’m of the opinion anything the government tells the idiot news feeds is bull shit! Went to see JP in Stoon last night and his opinion of the government elected is we are getting the bottom feeders because the common sense able candidates say the hell with it due to the stupid path we are currently on. Only way to change it is to get involved no matter how bleak it looks. Sitting on the sidelines only prolongs it.

I feel if I was ever elected to the House of Commons it would only be a matter of time before I crossed the floor . . . then escorted out.

Inflation gauge needs tinkering. Doesn’t include commodities and ocean freight, both highly deflationary. Housing and energies are in-a-tailspin. Also, gold price fallout tells a totally different story about inflation.

In reality, only Wall Street matters in The Fed’s mind.
And Fed manipulative power is quickly diminishing.

Cad fell off a cliff. Cpi targets are going to be tough to achieve without even more hikes. Central banksters laughing.
Deflation boogeyman just around the corner as always.
