Lampoon the System

POSTED ON August 25, 2015  - POSTED IN Lampoon the System

Below is a short scene from Paul Krugman’s recent visit to the funny farm where they send Federal Reserve Chairmen when they retire. It’s an odd place, where the plants are overwatered until the ground is bare (but at least the gardeners are never out of a job). Meanwhile, the cows are shipped to China to be milked, then shipped home again. Such inefficiencies might be puzzling, but to a Keynesian they are the hallmarks of a well-regulated economy.

15 08 Bull Crap Lampoon the System 800

While riding a bull market, investors are more than happy to eat up the stories fed to them by government economists and the Fed. It might seem like a good bet at the time, but as some investors are learning this week, you won’t end up any richer. Peter Schiff has responded directly to Krugman’s bull in the past, calling him out on his terrible track record:

March Madness may be over, but there is no end in sight for the Federal Reserve’s monetary madness. The Fed has been betting that the US economy would continue to recover, but the latest jobs numbers and dismal GDP data have revealed its forecasting to be as terrible as ever. If the Fed’s policies are truly “data dependent,” don’t be surprised when they start a full-court press of more quantitative easing in the next year.

Switzerland didn’t start the currency war, but last month it was the first to surrender by cutting the Swiss franc’s ties to a foundering euro. The euro plummeted on the news, while the franc soared. How much longer before the euro completely sinks under the weight of sovereign debts and a flood of quantitative easing?

The latest comic from Lampoon the System peeks into the life of an American family grappling with the plight of “shrinkflation.” Let’s be grateful that the entity that bears the most responsibility for this economic trend (the Federal Reserve) is not actually doing our cooking for us.

Shrinkflation has been in the news quite a bit the last couple months. Peter Schiff and other well-respected market analysts have pointed to it as one of the many negative effects of the Fed’s toxic monetary stimulus programs. You can read more about the shrinkflation phenomenon in this post. It’s not just ice cream and chocolate bars that are shrinking before our eyes, though. The fundamental value and purchasing power of the United States dollar itself is slowly crumbling away. Read more here.

In the 80s, America confronted two great risks – an evil empire and an out-of-control US dollar. Unfortunately, though we beat the communists, we seem to be losing the battle for sound money.

For its latest comic, Lampoon the System reprises War Games, the classic 1983 blockbuster starring Matthew Broderick. The esteemed Jim Rickards plays the role of “Joshua”, the supercomputer in the movie. Peter Schiff interviewed Rickards in August, and they talked extensively about the repercussions of an international “currency war.” If you missed it, check it out here.
