This was what was actually foreseen Zack Morris. Let me know if you need help reading the chart. Please share some commentary.

The source is the WH. Zerohedge just published it. This chart has been common knowledge for years and been posted to this forum dozens of times. As someone said, we rank and file conservatives have put up with so much ignorance from other people.

But why did you make it worse for blacks than any other group Zack Morris? What did they ever do to you. Why do they continue to do worse than any other group. Under obama.

You gave trillions of dollars to rich white people in the first few years, why none to blacks then, why none now.

For the same reason blacks did worse than any other group under Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II.
What did they ever do to you.
Wrong question. The correct question is: what did they ever do to the Republican Party that warranted abandoning them completely and embracing Southern racists?
Why do they continue to do worse than any other group. Under obama.
The same reason they did worse under every other President.

An unfortunate continuation of the inertia of Bush-era policies that did the same.

Let's say you are right;

What is the reason?

If you get to abandon black people you have to let other people do it to.

No, obama giving rich whites all the money had nothing to do with Bush.

Why did you guys give all the money to rich white people, and none to black folks? What did they ever do to you?

Will return soon with a new euphemism.

Economist | Fedspeak
IN George Orwell’s "1984", there was "oldspeak", "duckspeak", "doublespeak" and "newspeak". In modern central banking, there is "Fedspeak". One of the Federal Reserve’s principal means of communicating its views on monetary policy is to issue a press statement after its regular Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy meetings. These statements have become longer and more complex, according to a recent report by Rubén Hernández-Murillo and Hannah Shell of the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, perhaps contradicting their original purpose. The authors use the Flesch-Kincaid grade level, which evaluates how difficult a passage is to read based on sentence length and the number of syllables per word. The score itself corresponds to the number of years of education (in terms of American grade levels) you would need to understand the text. Statements made by the FOMC during the notoriously verbose Alan Greenspan’s tenure as chairman were in fact rather concise—on average, they were just 210 words, with a reading level of 13.6, suitable for second-year university students.

A noticeable uptick in the complexity of the FOMC statements occurred shortly after the Fed announced the start of quantitative easing in late 2008. As its balance-sheet ballooned, so too did the length of its press statements. Twice during this period the Flesch-Kincaid reading level reached 20, suggesting that Fed-watchers would need four years of postgraduate education just to parse what was going on—an onerous hurdle for a press statement that is meant to inform the public. . . .

Does the Japanese public understand that the US QE4 is requiring Japan to purchase the new issuances of US debt?

It's generally well known that Japan is one of the two major holders of US govt debt and,
with about 60% of US govt debt foreign held, a major supporter of the US govt in all it's aspects.

Interesting that "Belgium" is 3rd and Caribbean banking centres are 4th.
