The latest scam proffered by the liberals, is that we need to, ‘Tax the rich and give to the poor,’ as opposed to the correct version, which is, ‘Don’t tax, and give voluntarily to the poor.’ Democrats and liberals love the idea of, “The rich must pay their fair share” I think that’s the […]
I know, gold was $20.67, but that is nothing, compared to what America was like a hundred years ago. Imagine what we DIDN’T have then, and wonder how we ever got along. I think it must have been wonderful. There was no television. Radio was in its infancy, and there was no FM. There […]
Everyone’s dream! Buy anything your heart desires, and pay with Monopoly Money! WOW! It’s true! Ask any Senator or Congressman (or woman), or even the President. Just order up anything you think may help your constituents or get you votes. Anything at all. No limits! A subsidy for anything deemed important by Congress, and needing […]
Perhaps there is nothing more common and necessary in our lifetimes, than measurements. From the day we were born, our weights, gender and condition were told to anxious parents and grandparents. A nurse may say, “You are the proud father or grandfather, of a wonderful, healthy, eight-and-a-half-pound baby boy.” When we die, the obit will […]
We all have ‘assets’ of various kinds and types. Women have their looks, and some men do also, but I am not interested in men’s looks. We all have brains and personality assets, and that’s extremely important. Tall guys always seemed to be great basketball players, and strong, hefty ones, football players. Beautiful women can […]
I wrote this in 2002 and haven’t changed a single thing, How have times changed. A fellow called me the other day, and expressed surprise about the use of gold as a storage vehicle for wealth. He told me he bought a new Volkswagen in 1966 for $1995, which then was exactly 57 ounce of […]
My wife Bonnie, and I, went to an expensive, really classy restaurant the other evening, and we had a great time. I looked around, and there were perhaps 20 tables, and most of the diners were obviously well dressed and enjoying the rewards of great incomes. We do this many times, but this time, I […]
Sent to me by a friend – Don Stott “Yesterday, the Treasury Department announced that they expected to increase the national debt by a whopping $760 billion this quarter alone… and another $202 billion next quarter. “In short, that means almost $1 trillion added to the national debt, just in the first half of […]
I cannot, and will not predict what will happen, even ten minutes in the future, but I think that some warnings are pertinent. If your car’s dashboard says, “Check Engine,” it may be a good idea to have it checked by a mechanic. If your smoke alarm starts beeping, because is batteries are weak, there […]
I was going through my safe last week, and found this heavy bag of coins. Wondering what they were, I opened it up, and sure enough, going back in time, I realized that I had what we used to call, a “bag” of U.S. silver coins, which I’m sure has been there for a few […]
