Liquidity and the Market

I've written about this before, but for new readers, market liquidity and short term market response very closely correlate with the daily Treasury receipts compared to a year earlier. 6/14, yesterday's tax receipts yielded 7.07 billion less than a year over, and 5.9 billion less month-to-date than that collected a year ago. ---

Not good, the market today showed it. Without wildly productive economic growth and more US jobs, tax revenue lags and so does market liquidity. Dangerous too are the politicians playing childish games with the debt ceiling.

Freezing government spending for job growth and refusal to tax more heavily the wealthier banking class seems contra productive to the market and the economy as well.  "Daddy Warbucks" profited greatly from the trade deficit and remains immune to the down-turn if not the cause. Some might call it only fair that he pay more to balance the budget and pay down the National debt.

Meanwhile the market goes up and down, one hopes.

Domestic Labor

A smal incrament of domestic economic activity drives a large increase in the GDP. Vvelocity times money supply equals gross domestic product (GDP). The Velocity in single didgits when multiplied by money in the trillions has far greater effect than interest rates. For many decades, society overlooked and denounced Domestic labord. IRS reporting requirements, imcontax on the worker and social stigma discouraged if not eliminated this valuable segment of the labor force. Tax free, regulation free, domestic employment would add a significant boost to the overall economy, employ the unemployable, and provide shelter to the homeless, not a hundred percent, but to a significant degree. Think affordable houskeeping, cooking, and babysitting for the single mother working long hours.
