  • Falling Dollar: Finally Front-Page News [View article]
    I think its already here.. making around 70-80k a year really isn't a lot of money if you have a family. Even with that kind of money people can't really save money because it costs so much to live now. For them to save anything, your cars can't break done or your house can't ever need repairs, etc. Everything has to be perfect and last forever. If anything goes out of that median then fixing it costs a fortune and cleans you out. To just live and save anything right now requires, in my opinion, a more modest income making at least 100k a year otherwise you pretty much live on paycheck to paycheck. I don't know how anyone can live on minimum wage. I remember when gas was 16 cents a gallon and penny candy was a penny. Our money has taken a really big hit thanks to the Federal Reserve. It's time they went out of business.

  • 'Helicopter Ben' Was Prophetic in 2002 [View article]
    What most people don't realize is that the Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE organization that created this whole mess in the first place. They're the ones that cause inflation and deflation. Our economy will always be this way as long as the Federal Reserve calls the shots. They are the ones buying up America. WE THE PEOPLE are the only ones that can stop these thieves.
