EU Banks
http://www.bloomberg.com

A stress test on European banks is not even over and yet these banks are being urged to boost their ability to withstand losses.    The European Central Bank is leading the charge to prove the region’s banks are robust.    So, if these banks are being urged to raise capital, does this mean another bail-in is in the works?

The Writing Is On The Wall
http://www.zerohedge.com

The Shiller price-to-earnings ratio shows that U.S. equity valuations are pushing towards crash-worthy levels.    The higher the ratio, the more likely that future returns will run below historical averages.     Future returns are likely going to be lower.    Competition for investor capital will get even tougher.

Bitcoin For Elections
http://www.nytimes.com

The Federal Election Commission voted to allow political committees to accept Bitcoin donations and outlined the ways that the virtual currency can be used by federally regulated campaigns.     Bitcoin donations will be capped at a cash equivalent of 100 dollars per person per cycle.

Economic Cycle
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

Does the economy move in predictable waves, cycles or patterns?     If this is true, then 2015 to 2020 is going to be pure hell for the United States.   The K wave is a 60 year cycle that has nearly a thousand years of supporting evidence and we are heading right into the depression region that will last anywhere between 2017 and 2020.

Climate Economics

As if one had not heard it enough, the worldwide economic woes are being blamed on the weather.    This time, the Bank of Japan plans to blame the cooler-than-normal weather, that triggered El Nino, for the curb in spending in Japan.    Forget Voodoo economics, we have Climate economics!

Silver Preferred
http://srsroccoreport.com

According to the Austrian Mint annual report, the market overwhelmingly chooses to purchase official silver coins over gold.      Silver beat gold sales by a margin of 98.7 to 3.7 million ounces.     With the historically out-of-whack Silver to Gold price ratio, people know a bargain when they see one.

Student Loans
http://www.zerohedge.com

U.S. households are on an epic spending spree funded by, what else, student loans.    Student loans rose 125 billion dollars in the past year and the student loan debt is over 1.11 trillion dollars.     This is a 12% increase from last year.    So, how long will it take for new, and unemployed, graduates to pay this off?

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.    Good Day!

Remember Greece?
http://www.theguardian.com

In a harbinger of what is likely to come to the U.S., Greece is poised to formally open debt relief talks with its creditors.     Greece would propose measures to alleviate its monumental debt burden, which at 175% of GDP is by far the highest in the EU.      Even if the Greece’s debt burden is made more manageable, their economic woes are far from over because of the 30% plus unemployment and over 40% earning below poverty wage levels.

Day Of Reckoning
http://kingworldnews.com

According to Keith Barron, all the countries in the West try to minimize the value of gold, but is held by the worlds’ central banks, including the IMF, as a reserve.   While the U.S. encourages Americans to foolishly spend their savings on consumption, China is encouraging their citizens to save in gold and put it in a safe place, and to be fiscally prudent.     The contrast between East and West indicates the West is in real trouble.

U.S. Households
http://www.mybudget360.com

The latest data from the consumer credit report shows that total household wages was close to 7.2 trillion dollars, yet total household debt is at 13.1 trillion dollars.     In short, U.S. household debt is nearly twice as high as annual wages and salaries.  Yikes!

Postal Debt
http://www.cnsnews.com

The U.S. Postal Service currently owes 99.8 billion dollars in benefit payments to its current and retired workers but does not have the money.      One pretty much sees where this is going…     Yes, if Congress does not cough up the taxpayer dollars, you will not get your junk err… past due notices.

Summer Economics
http://www.zerohedge.com

In a precursor to what we will hear in the U.S. in the near future, the Italians found out that March industrial production fell by 0.5% because summer came early this year.     So, the only thing worse for centrally-planned economies than a cold winter is summer?

Chicago Teachers
http://www.thenewamerican.com

The Chicago Teacher’s Union became the latest organization to blast the fascist ‘Common Core’ takeover of edumacation.     It appears that people are waking up to the dangers of central planning initiatives and it all started with the realities of Obamawreck.

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.     Good Day!
