  • Forget 'Cash for Clunkers': Try 'Dough for Dumps'  [View article]
    This clunker program will be the first of many more to come...

    We as a country don't have what it takes to pull ourselves up and out of this mess...

    We’ve lost sight of the principles that made this country what it was…

    We've had it too good for too long… and have made too many wrong choices…

    The instant gratification chickens are coming home to roost…. So get ready…

  • The Curious Economic Recovery [View article]
    "The Case-Shiller index just came in at a year-over-year decline of 17% and the market is cheering because it's a few tenths of a percent "better than expected.""

    The cheering is akin to the applause sign being held up at an old game show for the audience to cheer.. it’s all just a charade…

  • U.S. Government Paying Homeowners to 'Walk Away' [View article]
    I fear that “it's” already too late...

    Most people I know casually are apathetic and are just drifting along taking the easier path of resistance…. They just don’t care.

    Having grown up on a farm, I see a parallel between feeder pigs being fattened for the slaughter and the average American. They’re only interested in sex and the next meal till it’s too late when they feel the holding chute clamping down on their neck for the “coup-de-gra”.

    We’ve had “it” too good for too long. Most sheeple wont admit that there might be “BLACK SWANS” getting ready to bite us in the ass and they don’t even know they are “sheeple” being led to the slaughter.

    The residents of the United States of America (and I use the term loosely) have misplaced their moral compass and don’t even know where “TRUE NORTH” is, or even that there is a true north.

    Enjoy the present… Hope for the best… Plan for the worst…
