How did it get started? It started basically, when FDR, (Franklin Delano Roosevelt), was elected President, along with a Democratic Congress, in 1932. America was in the midst of the ‘great depression,’ which was caused by a violation of “Stott’s Law,” which I wasn’t around then to invent, and that’s not to be dealt with […]
It’s rare that I would quote another’s column word for word, as being a prototype of what has, and still is happening. From a column by Barton Swaim on the March 12th, 2026 Wall Street journal: “What’s motivating Donald Trump? The question lends itself to complexity on any subject, and particularly Iran. Disparaging answers abound. […]
Please forgive me if I make this not too lengthy and simplistic, so I’ll first I’ll ask the reader a few questions, which of course, will be self answered, but maybe you have never thought of it in the following examples: Does my desk pay interest, or merely give me a place in which to […]
I’m sure I was in my teens, working in my dad’s drug store in Washington, D.C., when a nice insurance salesman came in and told me of a great buy his company had just publicized for young workers. No medical exam was needed—just assurance that I was healthy—and he offered me a $5,000 life insurance […]
The following, is what happens if instead of saving your surplus wealth in dollars, you save in gold and silver. Two purchases, five years apart, are what $100,000 would have bought in gold and silver, five and ten years ago. Gold and silver prices now, in the middle of February 2026, are what they would […]
We’re not Iran, which now has a 75% inflation rate, with people literally not being able to buy food. Endless printing of the Rial won’t help. It’s gone too far, and is out of control. Nickel Cokes and Hershey Bars, are the same Cokes and Hershey Bars today, as they were in 1933, only our […]
We’re all victims of ever increasing prices, (Trump’s dead wrong or lying as usual, when he says He’s kept prices down), which according to the dictionary of such, is called ‘inflation,’ and its cause is really quite simple, and it is, “an increase in the currency supply.” I have made it even simpler, when I […]
I wonder when Friday’s Journals go to bed. I wonder, because when I got up Friday, Jan 30th, I was surprised that Gold and Silver were crashing, and Friday’s Journal had a glowing report on how everyone was ever so happy about the metals being such a bright spot. The Journal obviously went to bed […]
I’m not at all happy with Donald Trump, and I think he’s killed any chance of keeping the Congress in Republican hands., come November. After telling everyone that he does what he does “Because of my own morality,” I am reminded of a phrase on a Turner Classic Movie about WW II, when John Wayne […]
It happened quite quickly, as inflation seems to happen here, but In Iran it happened so fast, that the populace was unable to purchase foods to stay alive, and it could be a preview of things which could happen anywhere. Even here, since it has already happened so slowly, that most Americans think it is […]
