Grinding to a Halt

Urban Dictionary: loo bee doo

Once a conversation is slowly grinding to a halt, simply say "loo bee doo" to get the conversation flowing again.

For the love of all that is holy, loo bee frickin' doo!

The thesis that trade deficits are net-bad has . . . merit.

$600B/yr leaving the paycheck economy, never to come back as wages.

Squanderville, again.

I believe the Fed may have been looking at a chart like this when they decided to announce QEternity.

They probably have a handful of charts telling the same story that is not getting play on CNBC yet. Just a hunch.

The plan is to stop QE once we either return to the orange trend line or hell freezes over.

It's going to be a close race!
