We all know that inflation is caused by an increase in the currency supply of whatever nation issues a currency. The dictionary even defines inflation as such. You may believe that this is an open and shut case, but there are those who believe inflation is caused by other than what the dictionary definition says […]
I always have been a huge supporter of the local police, and state police. I know the local police chief personally, and Gary is a great guy. Still, as regards to owning guns, and unregistered ones at that, remember this: Police cannot stop crime. Check out the facts. When an accident happens, or robbery, murder, […]
The commonly used term “GDP,” (Gross Domestic Product, formerly GNP, or Gross National Product), is perhaps one of the least understood terms. Not because it is any mystery, but because one of its prime ingredients is not included in most thoughts, be they amateur or professional. It’s like a cake recipe, which leaves out the […]
I really believe in the ratios. At least the ratios between silver and gold, which did get to 80 to 1 recently. As I write this drivel, the ratio is now 68.5 to 1. I honestly believe it will go to at least 35 to 1, or below. This means that with gold at $400. […]
“Shucks Paw, gimme a chaw er terbaky.” Well it isn’t really that way, but I love to talk about funny money. Red Dog Money, and Blue Pup Money, are actual facts of history. Unfortunately, I cannot find any of either to photograph, so I cannot illustrate them, but they did exist. This was in the […]

George W. Bush, and his Daddy, George H.W. Bush, both have lied through their teeth, and it will cost Dubya the next election, just like lying cost his Daddy his re-election. Two of them is enough anyway. Daddy Bush lied when he proclaimed “Read my lips, no new taxes.” He raised them, and Clinton got […]
We all have “ice boxes,” (refrigerators) as my ancient vocabulary is wont to call them. The antique “ice box,” is now a highly collectible, expensive item when purchased in antique stores, and especially if one is in good condition. For you youngsters, the “ice box”, was a primitive refrigerator. (Us oldsters still call refrigerators ice […]
Suppose everyone in America, bought one single Gold Eagle. Suppose, every single silver futures contract holder, took delivery. Just suppose. The results of this, would be earth shaking. Imagine everyone in the entire world, buying just one single once of gold, and an equal amount of silver. Why not? What would be wrong with earth’s […]
We all gamble a bit in our lives. We gamble when we pick a mate, buy a car, home, or even groceries. Brand name or off brand, when buying food stuffs? Ford or Mercedes? Tall or short, woman or man? All sorts of gambles exist in our lives. The major gambling, which most of us […]
