Maybe I should have said “government production,” because that’s what most think government does. “Let’s get a grant from government,” “Let Uncle Sam pay for it,” “That’s Washington’s problem,” or phrases like that, dominate the news media day after day, week after week, and year after year. If someone or some governmental entity at state, […]

Maybe this should be “How?” rather than “Why?,” I don’t know, but the nation is literally evaporating before our eyes, at least economically, and the “how” is because of politicians debasing the currency, as I said last week. As far as “Why?” is concerned, it is a matter of CYA, or “cover your ass.” Admitting […]

We’ve all heard of surgeons who leave a sponge in a patient after operating, or doctors who prescribe the wrong medication. The medical industry actually kills hundreds of thousands each year. Drunks kill people, as do criminals and carelessness. None of these are responsible for the death of a nation, however. Am I getting into […]

Remember little pip-squeak Ross Perot? I voted for him. Lots of us did. I also voted for George Wallace and Barry Goldwater, if you want to know my real feelings! At any rate, Ross used to speak about a ’giant sucking sound,” referring to NAFTA, and he was correct…for a little while anyway. The Chinese […]

All the news about a potential silver ETF, has everyone all excited, and I can understand why. Because in order for this thing to get going, take your Social Security Number, and supposedly have enough silver for all shares, it will be necessary for them to purchase silver. Some say 130 million ounces and some […]

You all remember the Gong Show, don’t you? These hideous, untalented goofs, would perform until they were ’gonged,’ and taken off the stage. In Vaudeville days, the so-called ’stage hook’ supposedly came out from the wings and hooked the performer off the stage, if he was untalented enough, much to the mirth of the audience. […]

There’s good and bad in everything. There are 2001 Fords that are good, because some little old lady kept it in her garage, drove it seldom, always had it serviced, and never dented it or in any way damaged it. There are 2001 Fords that have been New York taxis, and have a million miles […]

“Rain? What’s that supposed to be? Never heard that word. Water falling from the sky? What, are you nuts? Hey look man, I haven’t the slightest idea of who you are, or this “rain” stuff you are shouting about. Do you have a headache? Have you fallen on your head lately? Rain? Not me.” So […]

That is a very interesting question, and I suspect that a recent client made me think about it more clearly. First of all, the ratios indicate that the current ratio of 58 to 1, will eventually be restored to the historic one of 16 to 1. I see no reason why that should not happen. […]

Believe me, I do have original thoughts. I have them all the time! On occasion, I run across a book, which is so fine, worthwhile, accurate, and timely, that I feel I must quote from it. So I will. The book is new, and titled EMPIRE OF DEBT, by Bill Bonner, and Addison Wiggins. I […]
