D.C. code for "won't rule it out" means it's coming! So much for 'stimulus'! Let's see, hand out a bunch of taxpayer money ("stimulus"), then tax the heck out of everyone. Any complaints? It's ok, there's another "stimulus" coming. Guess who's paying for that one? You guess it....it's YOU! (More)
The uninformed forget that government "debt" means BOTH principal and interest. So long as the principal doesn't get paid off, the interest continues to grow, and grow, and grow. In fact, mathematically, compounded interest begins to grow exponentially, i.e. 'to the moon'. Then, the interest is many times bigger than the original debt. That's what the government debt is, and they're borrowing (selling U.S. Treasury bonds) trillions and trillions more.
Yellow weeds to brown manure. Thank goodness there's a few constant voices out there keeping things real (as is SubprimeCrunch.com!) A review of the real numbers (not government propaganda) reveals the truth. People just have to want to hear it, and the others have to hear it to begin with to even realize the extent of the lies they're swimming in. (More)
Chinese making a lot of noise, again. There is a move afoot, and plans seem to be in place for some sort of structure in the event of a crash...developing... (More)
The founding fathers were rightly proud of their proclaimed declaration, but they knew they were probably signing their death warrant. Indeed, many were later killed, lost their property, or died impoverished. It took a lot to found this country, and it takes a lot to keep this "experiment" in human freedom going; now and in the future.
Let's celebrate our victory over tyranny of all forms this July 4th. Would the founding fathers have encouraged such a celebration? WE KNOW THEY WOULD! HOW DO WE KNOW? Read what founding father John Adams said in 1776:
"(Independence Day) will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. . . . It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires, and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."
There you have it!!! Now go celebrate!!!
(NOTE: We are closed today in compliance with John Adams' wishes.)
"High Frequency" traders (program trades) are pumping up volume, which means there isn't any real "liquidity", and the trap door could open and swallow up unsuspecting investors.
Think about that...473,000 losing jobs. Not just 10 people, their families, the places they spend money, their homes, their cars, their cell phone contracts, the taxes they won't pay, the restaurants they won't go out to, the movies they won't see, etc. But it isn't just 10 people, it's 473,000 people!!! And, that's just this MONTH! Folks, if you don't see now that we are in the early stages of a depression, well, we've done our best. Good luck. (More)
"Home-Price Declines in 20 U.S. Cities Eased in April". We think this article and data give a wrong impression - the "big trend" is still down - period. No market moves in a straight line. (More)
Not sure about this one, but recent surveys regarding access and demand for credit shows it lower than ever...and dropping!!! (More)
This was NOT unexpected for us. We are in a depression, and the early stages of such an economic event are confusing for most, but we see what's really going on. Click (here) for more on the article.
