Alternative Visions – IMF vs. Greece Again, China & US GDP, and the Fed as Cause of Income Inequality – 04.22.16
Jack comments on the recent Wikileaks revelations of secret IMF plans to
impose still more austerity on Greece before this summer. Jack revisits
his predictions of last summer 2015 that the Greek debt crisis would
reappear in 2016 along with the UK exit from the EU and renewed talk of a
Greece exit as well—both of which now appear on the agenda. The Troika’s
origins of the Greek Debt and why a new kind of financial imperialism is
now emerging. Fractures between segments of Europe’s financial-economic
elites continue to grow. Jack discusses what’s wrong with US job and
GDP numbers, and why China GDP stats are about half of the official GDP
rates. Why US central bank, FED, policy of no interest rate hike
benefits US multinational companies at the expense of tens of millions
of US households and small businesses. Jack concludes with explaining
why global oil prices will again fall, China’s mini-stimulus will again
fade, and why Japan and Europe will slip further into QE and NIRP
(negative interest rates) in coming months.
