WORLD DEBT, MORE FUN LIVING IN WONDERLAND THAN IN THE REAL WORLD.

A BUBBLE HAS NO FIX, WE'RE IN A FIX!
  • THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE AND PAYS NO TAXES.
  • IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL THAT TAXES AND BACK TAXES SINCE DECEMBER OF 1913 BE PAID TO THE PEOPLE'S TREASURY IN EACH HOST-COUNTRY.










PONZI WORLD’S UNSTOPPABLE PAPER PONZI DEBT NOW TOWERS US$217-TRILLION.

1.    Unpayable, no problem. Living in illusion in wonderland is fun.
2.    Keynes is obsolete, why worry.
3.    While the US, EU, Japan and China are bust, the bigger problem of the four players lies with China due to the following:
3.1.        China’s banks and system are out of control and consequent sub-prime loans are bigger than Western and Japanese loans.
3.2.        China’s export driven economy powered by currency manipulation is unsustainable for its GNP growth. China must focus on internal  consumption and consequent GDP.
4.    The Fake Fed and the IMF are a joke and prime culprits for global tragedy and wars to protect their Ponzi currencies.

A 300-YEAR OLD PAPER AGE PONZI CURRENCY is being towed by negative interest downhill and  on  empty tanks.…

PONZI CAPITALISM: 2+2 = 5. OK FOR THE BRAIN DEAD, 2-STRANDED DNA, CLUELESS SLEEPWALKING DEBT RIDDEN SHEEP ENJOYING LIFE INTHE UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD OWNED BY THE US INC.’S FEDERAL RESERVE AND ITS PAPER WORTHLESS PONZI CURRENCY CONTROLLED BY A PROSECUTOR MIND CONTROL MEDIA.  THE ACT OF 1871 IS A RETURN TO COLONIALISM UNDER THE GUISE OF THE CENTRAL BRANKS-IMF.

GOLD STANDARD (BALLAST): Bringing back the gold standard for the US Dollar is imperative but also almost impossible and Donald Trump is powerless to do so even as he would like to. Only a complete collapse will allow the current scheme to yield to a <SYSTEM>




The Chinese Chart That Keeps The IMF Up At Night
Tyler Durden's picture
Jan 5, 2017 1:19 PM
As the IIF reported yesterday, in the first 9 months of 2016 global debt rose by $11 trillion, hitting an all time high of $217 trillion, ro 325% of world GDP. Of this increase, the IIF said that China accounted for the "lion's share" and while China's relentless debt-funded stimulus continues to be ignored by markets, one other organization that begins with I and ends with F has also noticed that China has a big problem.
As the IMF recently wrote in its IMFDirect blog, China urgently needs to tackle its corporate-debt problem before it
becomes a major drag on growth in the world’s No. 2 economy. Corporate
debt has reached very high levels and continues to grow.
The International Monetary Fund then lays out at the dimensions of the problem:
From 2009 to 2015, credit grew very rapidly by 20 percent on average per year, much more than growth in nominal gross domestic product. What’s more, the ratio of non-financial private credit to GDP rose from around 150 percent to more than 200 percent, or about 20-25 percentage points higher than the historical trend. Such a “credit gap” is comparable to those in countries that experienced painful deleveraging, such as Spain, Thailand, and Japan.
It then combines the four nations debt/GDP in one chart, and shows the one chart that keeps it up at night.
The chart above make it obvious that unless something changes, and fast, the biggest growth dynamo behind global growth over the past decade - remember, as Kyle Bass so conveniently reminded us, China's banking system has over $30 trillion in financial assets, debt asied - is about to short circuit.
Why the unprecedented debt growth? Simple: this corporate credit boom reflected the government efforts to stimulate the economy in the wake of the global financial crisis, largely through lending for infrastructure and real estate. The outcome: overbuilding and a severe overhang of unsold properties, especially in lower-tier cities, along with excess capacity in related industries such as steel, cement and coal. The combination of heavy borrowing and falling profits led to excessive debt loads. The problem has been worst among state-owned enterprises that benefit from preferential access to financing and implicit government guarantees, which lower the cost of borrowing.
The IMF then proposes several solutions: First, the government should make a high-level decision to stop financing weak companies, strengthen corporate governance, mitigate social costs and accept likely slower growth in the near term. It needs buy-in at every level—state-owned enterprises, local governments, and financial supervisors. Here are the other steps China’s government can take:
o    Triage: Identify companies in financial difficulty and distinguish between those that should be restructured and those “zombie” companies that have no hope of survival and that should be allowed to exit. Because of the existing links between state-owned banks and corporations, a new agency could be created to perform this role.
o    Recognize losses: Require banks to recognize and manage impaired assets. So-called shadow banks—trust, securities and asset-management companies—should also be forced to recognize losses.
o    Share the burden: Allocate losses among banks, corporates, investors and, if necessary, the gover
nment.
o   
Harden budget constraints—especially on state owned enterprises—by improving corporate governance and removing implicit guarantees to prevent further misallocation of credit and losses.
It then adds that, for now, "risks appear manageable" but only if the problem is addressed promptly.  And this is where the IMF suffers from a tremendous cognitive disconnect, when it says that "indeed, it is encouraging that the government has recognized the problem and is taking action to address it."
Alas, that is not true, because while the government has indeed recognized the problem, it sternly refuses to address it, and instead just last year injected a record amount of debt in the system, even as total debt/GDP in China has now risen to 300%, according to the IIF.
The same lack of willingness to address any of China's lingering structural problems can be noted in most other aspects of its financial system: from overhauling insolvent enterprises and failing to recognize the true extent of NPLs (the recent overtures in debt-for-equity are, sadly, far too modest to make any impact), to implementing broad bankruptcy reform (over fears of millions of workers losing their jobs in zombie enterprises), to the biggest elephant in the room: China's currency woes, which instead of being "internationalized" is being increasingly pressured by the PBOC to trade at a given level due to concerns of soaring capital outflows limited by China's reserve base.
It remains to be seen just when the chart that keeps the IMF up at night will lead to nightmares for others; for now, however, everyone is blissfully ignoring what may be the biggest pro
blem in the world.

Sixteen Tons




Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Can't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
