fly me to the moon!

Hi all,
of note, every time this country has hit an economic wall like we are living in now, it expanded, explored, to get it self out of a mess(now alot of bad and broken treaties happened do to this but that is a topic for another post and the overall good hopefully balances things out on the Karma Scale)
So I say America, to get my 160 acres and a mule, in the words of the classic Frank Sinatra Song, FLY ME TO THE MOON!

rules for different people?

Hi Everyone,

So is it different rules for different people or rules for different people...

link to FT story on "Goldman getting 1 billion if CIT Fails, Tax payers lose 2.3 billion"

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9170b5f2-b10f-11de-b06b-00144feabdc0.html

OK a quick recap/example for you... Chrysler if bought by Cerberus and others like the Retired Teachers in Indiana... Chrysler fails and instead of saling it off in a bankruptcy and the Retired Teachers and others who took a chance and helped out Chrysler when it needed it a few years ago GETTING somthing for their help, They got NOTHING, breaking many business laws in the process... (Thanks US SUPREME COURT for not hearing the case!)...

but a similar situation sets up for CIT and Goldman gets money and the US Tax payers get to pay up!

People this stuff is totally wrong, illegal, racist, elitist BS that is wrecking this Nation, A NATIONAL week long STRIKE for all people must happen and soon... trust me, they make money on you not doing anything about things and when the RULE of LAW only matters for a few people you can kiss everything you think you know and care about good BYE!

a haiku for you...

in dark waters below

lurks things unknown, things needed

to trouble kind minds

numbers numbers and a little yest vs today

ok,

let me try to make this easy(I'm off on these numbers to make the math easy to make a point) think of the total US population like this, 1/3 working ages, 1/3 older people and 1/3 children...

think of this, today (2009) we have about 100million people that can work and about 85 million that can find work and are working more or less... so about 15 million out of work

Yesterday(1999 recession to 2001) we had about 250million total population and that makes 75 million working ages and 68million that could find jobs and 7 million out of work...

WAY yesterday(1930's USA) Great D, a population around 100million, so working types around 33million and 9 million out of work

Other things to think about, today we have less people working in the USA but a population 30 million people larger than 2000

Thanks to Mark Farber and Market Ticker for reporting on this important topic... link to stories on the real numbers and interpretations... this job market and wages story is a huge story that few know just how bad it really is and this problem has been growing for over 15 years!

Hi all,
This is a longer clip, but so important to watch... Senator Coburn continues to be one of the few voices getting this information out


30% cuts now on ALL Government Spending has to happen now! we wait too long and Gore Vidal is right in his prediction that we will be a military dictatorship in the very near future!

link to Gore Vidal story... I do not agree with all his reasons why we are here, but I do agree with his outlook for the future...
