On main topic: Man, are we lucky to have the birth/death-model taxes to collect or we’d really be in the crapper.

Off main topic, but I suggest anyone whose thinking is U.S.A. right or wrong, love it or leave it, is confusing Nationalism for Patriotism.

“also- you appear to wrap all your arguments in politics-”

Ain’t that the truth. And thus why I don’t bother. There’s another one who gets the same level of attention from me. Any guesses? :)

venndata-

there are many here (including myself) who believe the economy has many structural issues to overcome- and that unemployment will remain at elevated levels- that consumers are unwilling and unable to spend- that the TBTF banks were rewarded for bad behavior – that no-one was held resposible for sending the economy over the cliff-

the current rally is speculation- again- the same thing over and over- balloon then bust- also- you appear to wrap all your arguments in politics-

but partisans always see things through a political prism- what was wrong before is wrong now no matter who is in power-

Yeah, and from the other pics on that site, it wasn’t a nissan phenomenon.

But re: rebuilding of car inventories. It’s true dealers have low inventories, I read for Ford they wre looking at a supply of 30ish days vs. typical 70ish days of supply. Guess what ford, you don’t need the average amount of supply. Some replenishment, sure but I think they need to be careful about not bringing on too much capacity now that CFC is done.

Here’s an article from today where Ford sees Aug. US auto sales at an annualized rate of 13 million. If I was a car exec and Clunkers got US sales from ~10 mil to 13 mil, I’d blow my brains out.

I don’t measure my pride in being an American by a rally. I don’t reject my country because the markets didn’t go my way. Big difference.

And the Bush tax rate were supposed to help all Americans, they didn’t. They was my point. The trickle down Reagan rubbish is theoretical nonsense.

@ Groty

There’s a reason why production and consumption weren’t in line, way too much inventory from overcapacity. Here’s a visual

That’s a Nissan car testing track in the UK from earlier this year.
