The Dictionary gives several definitions of “Capital” as regards money, but they all boil down to “wealth.”  If one dissipates one’s capital, one becomes broke.  Make sense?  If a person spends more than they take in, they are losing capital.  What creates capital?  Capital is created by making a profit on an endeavor such […]

  First of all, I really believe that we have another FDR on our hands.  Obama is a superb orator.  With those teleprompters at hand, he is an absolute master.  He has a deep, resonant voice, is extremely intelligent, and can read those speeches with total ease and composure.  His speech Tuesday night was masterful […]

  As everyone rejoices at $1,000 gold, please remember that in 1980, gold was also at $1,000.  In 1980, with gold at $1,000, things then were a bit different as far as economics are concerned.  As an example, in 1980. the average annual income was $17,710.  In 1980, a stamp was fifteen cents, eggs ninety […]

  As everyone cries havoc in ever mounting spirals of hysteria, the various states are crying the loudest, and rightfully so.  As the D.C. Gang grows more conspicuous in their bogus, frenzied, espousal of causes to bail out and promote with paper money, the states seem to have been left out.  In California, for lack […]

  Amongst the dry rustle of dead illusions, fantasies, and outright lies, emanating from the D.C. Gang and its adherents, is the myth that fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, or Vietnam, is ’fighting for your country.’  I am certain that the Soviets  publicized a similar falsehood when they attempted to conquer Afghanistan with the insertion […]

  One of the saddest things in today’s world, is the feeble effort to create value by means of the printing press.  Around the world, all currencies, which are supposed to represent worth, value, stability, and asset conservation, are merely printed pieces of paper with ink and engravings on them.  That’s it.  Value cannot come […]

  We had a lovely ten day cruise to the Bahamas, Aruba, Curacao, Panama, and Costa Rica. Aruba isn’t nearly as nice as is Curacao, and I have never seen such a trashy place as Panama.  Rotten roads, trash everywhere, and it makes Mexico look like the promised land. We have never in our lives seen […]

  If you help (bailout) a productive citizen who has come on hard times, that’s admirable.  If a loan will help him though the mess, I will do it any time.  An individual that is, but not a huge corporation which got into trouble because of stupidity.  If you help a productive man out of […]

  I always refer to a dictionary to see exactly what a word means.  The word “addict” means, “To give in to some strong habit.”  We all think of drug addicts, nicotine addicts, alcoholics, and the like, but there are certainly other addictions.  I know people who are addicted to working out, fishing, watching sports, […]
