Proper spending on infrastructure could indeed be economically beneficial.</b>&nbsp;However, even a cursory glance at previous expenditures, shows such is not the case.&nbsp;<b>Out of the entirety of Biden’s proposed infrastructure plan, only roughly 6% goes to building roads and bridges. Another 2% goes to waterways and dams.</b>&nbsp;The other 92% is a Democratic grab bag of liberal projects, most of which have a negative long-term investment return.</p><p>As such, the infrastructure bill is a negative long-term impact on economic growth. Such was a point we discussed previously in&nbsp;<b><i>“One Way Trip:”</i></b></p><blockquote><i>“The chart below shows the deficit, 10-year average GDP growth, and the annual change in Federal Debt.&nbsp;The problem should be obvious.&nbsp;</i> <i><b>Since the Federal government began ramping up debt, and running deficits, growth continues to deteriorate.</b></i> <i>Such is not a coincidence.”</i></blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61e5b07cb55be5fcc7d49c22d056f865\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"274\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">With the government already running a massive deficit and adding another $4.25 trillion to date, the negative impact of debt on economic growth will increase.</p><p><i>Recent Wharton School analysis&nbsp;confirmed the same:</i></p><ul><li><p><i>The spending provisions of the AJP, in the absence of any tax increases, would increase government debt by 4.72%&nbsp;</i><i><b>and decrease GDP by 0.33% in 2050, as the crowding out of investment due to more significant government deficits outweighs productivity boosts from the new public investments.</b></i></p></li><li><p><i>The tax provisions proposed in the AJP, in the absence of any new spending, would decrease government debt by 11.16 percent in 2050.

However, such is particularly relevant given that economic activity drives corporate profits and earnings.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ca1f432ee9c7a2cc19640379dbea43e\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"296\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">If Dimon is correct about interest rates and inflation, the drag on economic growth will increase.</p><blockquote><i><b>“Conversely, in this boom scenario it’s hard to justify the price of U.S. debt (most people consider the 10-year bond as the key reference point for U.S. debt.</b></i> <i>This is because of two factors: first, the huge supply of debt that needs to be absorbed; and second,&nbsp;</i> <i><b>the not-unreasonable possibility that an increase in inflation will not be just temporary.”</b></i></blockquote><p>Given the rising inflation and rates divert disposable incomes from consumption. Such suggests that much of the population living paycheck-to-paycheck, any&nbsp;<i>“cost”</i>&nbsp;increase will immediately detract from economic activity.</p><p><b>Mr. Dimon’s Next Bailout</b></p><blockquote><i><b>“Americans know that something has gone terribly wrong, and they blame this country’s leadership: the elite, the powerful, the decision makers – in government, in business and in civic society.</b></i> <i>This is completely appropriate, for who else should take the blame?”</i></blockquote><p><b>What Mr. Dimon tends to forget is that it was the U.S. taxpayer who bailed out the financial system, he included, following the financial crisis.</b></p><p><b>Then again, following the economic shutdown.</b></p><p>Despite massive fraud in the major banks related to the mortgage crisis, the banks paid only minor penalties for their criminal acts, and no one went to jail. Before the financial crisis, the top 5-banks comprised 40% of the banking system. Afterward, it became 60%.&nbsp;<b>Through it all, Mr. Dimon became substantially wealthier, while the American population suffered the consequences.</b></p><p>You better believe that Americans know something has gone wrong, and Jamie Dimon is&nbsp;<i>“poster child”</i>&nbsp;for the&nbsp;<i>“financial mafia.”</i></p><p>With the household, corporate, and government debt at a record, the next crisis will require another taxpayer bailout.&nbsp;<b>Since Mr. Dimon’s bank lent the money to zombie companies, households that could not afford it, took on excessive risks in financial assets, he will gladly accept the next bailout while taxpayers suffer the fallout.</b></p><p>While Mr. Dimon points the finger at everyone else, he is the problem. Of course, give any person a billion dollars, and they will likely become just as detached from&nbsp;<i>“serfs”</i>&nbsp;beneath his feet.</p><p><b>At some point, Americans have to stop hoping to magically cure a debt problem by adding more debt and then shuffling it between Central Banks.</b></p><p>But then again, such a statement is also delusional.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Dimon's Detached View Of Economic Realities</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nDimon's Detached View Of Economic Realities\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-16 21:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/dimons-detached-view-economic-realities?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zerohedge%2Ffeed+%28zero+hedge+-+on+a+long+enough+timeline%2C+the+survival+rate+for+everyone+drops+to+zero%29><strong>zerohedge</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,In December of 2019, I wrote about Dimon’s delusional view of economic realities.

Therefore, consumers turned to debt to fill the “gap.”Currently, there is almost a $2150 annual deficit facing the average American. (Note: this deficit accrues every year, which is why consumer credit keeps hitting new records.)Notably, more “stimulus” has two very negative consequences economically:It pulls forward future consumption leaving a future void to fill (presumably with more stimulus); and,Stimulus reduces productive economic activity, which retards future growth.With still high levels of mortgages in forbearance, the need for continuing “eviction moratoriums,”and the ongoing demand for “government largesse” suggest the consumer is not nearly as strong as deemed.Wasted Deficit Spending“We need to properly invest, on an ongoing basis, in modernizing infrastructure.   Spent wisely, it is an opportunity for everyone.”Mr. Dimon is correct. Proper spending on infrastructure could indeed be economically beneficial. However, even a cursory glance at previous expenditures, shows such is not the case. Out of the entirety of Biden’s proposed infrastructure plan, only roughly 6% goes to building roads and bridges. Another 2% goes to waterways and dams. The other 92% is a Democratic grab bag of liberal projects, most of which have a negative long-term investment return.As such, the infrastructure bill is a negative long-term impact on economic growth. Such was a point we discussed previously in “One Way Trip:”“The chart below shows the deficit, 10-year average GDP growth, and the annual change in Federal Debt. The problem should be obvious.  Since the Federal government began ramping up debt, and running deficits, growth continues to deteriorate. Such is not a coincidence.”With the government already running a massive deficit and adding another $4.25 trillion to date, the negative impact of debt on economic growth will increase.Recent Wharton School analysis confirmed the same:The spending provisions of the AJP, in the absence of any tax increases, would increase government debt by 4.72% and decrease GDP by 0.33% in 2050, as the crowding out of investment due to more significant government deficits outweighs productivity boosts from the new public investments.The tax provisions proposed in the AJP, in the absence of any new spending, would decrease government debt by 11.16 percent in 2050. Despite reducing public debt, the AJP’s tax provisions discourage business investment and thus reduce GDP by 0.49 percent in 2050.The reason this is important, from an investment standpoint, is the linkage between economic growth and the stock market.Two Ways To Correct ValuationsIn his letter, Dimon noted that stock market valuations are “quite high.”Still, a multiyear boom may justify current levels because markets are pricing in economic growth and excess savings that make their way into equities.That is a significant statement and one that will most likely be proven wrong.There is little argument valuations are high. As such, historically speaking, valuations have always reverted by prices falling to align with earnings. However, what Dimon is proposing is a period where prices remain flat while earnings rise.Such has never happened historically. However, such is particularly relevant given that economic activity drives corporate profits and earnings.If Dimon is correct about interest rates and inflation, the drag on economic growth will increase.“Conversely, in this boom scenario it’s hard to justify the price of U.S. debt (most people consider the 10-year bond as the key reference point for U.S. debt. This is because of two factors: first, the huge supply of debt that needs to be absorbed; and second,  the not-unreasonable possibility that an increase in inflation will not be just temporary.”Given the rising inflation and rates divert disposable incomes from consumption. Such suggests that much of the population living paycheck-to-paycheck, any “cost” increase will immediately detract from economic activity.Mr. Dimon’s Next Bailout“Americans know that something has gone terribly wrong, and they blame this country’s leadership: the elite, the powerful, the decision makers – in government, in business and in civic society. This is completely appropriate, for who else should take the blame?”What Mr. Dimon tends to forget is that it was the U.S. taxpayer who bailed out the financial system, he included, following the financial crisis.Then again, following the economic shutdown.Despite massive fraud in the major banks related to the mortgage crisis, the banks paid only minor penalties for their criminal acts, and no one went to jail. Before the financial crisis, the top 5-banks comprised 40% of the banking system. Afterward, it became 60%. Through it all, Mr. Dimon became substantially wealthier, while the American population suffered the consequences.You better believe that Americans know something has gone wrong, and Jamie Dimon is “poster child” for the “financial mafia.”With the household, corporate, and government debt at a record, the next crisis will require another taxpayer bailout. Since Mr. Dimon’s bank lent the money to zombie companies, households that could not afford it, took on excessive risks in financial assets, he will gladly accept the next bailout while taxpayers suffer the fallout.While Mr. Dimon points the finger at everyone else, he is the problem. Of course, give any person a billion dollars, and they will likely become just as detached from “serfs” beneath his feet.At some point, Americans have to stop hoping to magically cure a debt problem by adding more debt and then shuffling it between Central Banks.But then again, such a statement is also delusional.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":461,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379580860,"gmtCreate":1618761893750,"gmtModify":1704714664714,"author":{"id":"3581507214951045","authorId":"3581507214951045","name":"DT97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f0d88cfaf797034db16b676d5d09342","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581507214951045","authorIdStr":"3581507214951045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379580860","repostId":"1131521200","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131521200","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618577973,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1131521200?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 20:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hedge Fund Billionaire Who Shorted Lehman Brothers Says the Fed and SEC Aren’t Doing Their Jobs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131521200","media":"Barron's","summary":"Stocks arehitting record highs, but not everyone is happy.
