Remember Jimmie Carter? Well likewise, Obama is a one term president because he didn't focus on the #1 problem. In this case, it is jobs; not passing a wasteful healthcare bill nor strong-arming our primary energy suppliers.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:33:36 -0500

Folks, better think about increasing your stocks in the coming weeks. And, I don't mean the financial kinds either. More like the kinds in your pantry, your medicine cabinet, and other essential items we all take for granted.]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:24:54 -0500

You know, those folks who know-about and have such docs: they might want to keep a veery low profile.. in certain circles, their lives are not worth much. The same goes for those people who know the others with said docs.

"..making a fake bar salted with tungsten indistinguishable from a solid gold bar by simply weighing it..."

gold is slightly heavier ( Au is 196.96 g/mol; W is 183.84 g/mol) Anyone who would be interested in buying such large volume bricks of gold would most certainly use a very precise scale to weigh it, thus detecting the difference. However, by the subtle addition of a few slugs of Depleted Uranium into the tungsten, then one might achieve such a fraud.]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:50:23 -0500

We really are heading for a decade of depression. We could even see real (not BLS definition of "real") unemployment up over 30-35%. My best guess is somewhat near the SGS number of 22% at this time. Assuming a labor force of some 137 million with 22% out of full-time work, we have about 30 million displaced workers. That is going to take upwards of a decade to absorb back into the workforce. This country will be thoroughly tested as to whether the people continue to believe in the "American Way" of democracy, and capitalism where anyone can aspire to rise up and succeed. Or whether they begin to give up trying to reach the level of achievement that their parents had, and slump down into a sad life of government control over jobs, wages, medicine, education, and essential freedoms.]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:52:24 -0400

When in reality, it just means about 11000 poor souls who have used up all their time on unemployment benefits must go away and stop getting assistance.

"They don't have jobs yet! Or do they? We dunno. They just go away so we don't get to track them anymore. And, so we don't care anymore, whether they have a job or not. The only thing that matters around here is what the numbers say."

Thats EXACTLY what the BLS is hoping.. that you won't notice when the revised figures come out a month or so after the initial "softened" numbers were released. They know those revisions are not seen as important news so they get token mention in a small 1 paragraph article buried on page 23 of your newspaper.]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:43:10 -0400 Does this mean that the government is trying to make to initial reports look better than they really are by reporting low, hoping that nobody really pays attention to revisions?

why do I say that?

1. Unemployment continues rising, not falling.
2. Business failures continue rising, not falling.
3. Sales keep falling all across the board, not rising.
4. food and energy prices keep rising, not falling.
5. real estate forclosures continue to rise, not fall.

Tell me I'm wrong.]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:04:51 -0400
