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, […]
I always refer to a dictionary to see exactly what a word means. Inflation is defined as an increase in the currency supply. Deflation, is defined as follows: “A decline in economic activity.” Is it possible to have both at the same time? I think so. Consider the current situation in several areas. Housing: […]
At a recent auction, for $32, I bought a 1939 translation of Hitler’s Mein Kampf. It was mostly written while he was in jail in 1927, although some was written before, in 1922. The name means “My Battle” in English, and surely does predict his future battles. The grammar is letter perfect, so I […]
There are so many complications, economics wise, and there shouldn’t be, because as Ludwig von Mises once said, defining economics, “People Act.” It’s just that simple! Examples are everywhere. Toyota is closing it’s plants for 11 days, and how many employees does this affect? Let’s say 2,000, at $200 a day, for 11 days. […]
There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse, and this presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job […]
