Debt is Slavery

This Christmas, I ask all of you to give yourself the best gift in the world...Freedom.
Freedom from debt, and a desire to break the chains that shackle you.

Debt was seen as wealth for the past decade but the reality is it is nothing but slavery. Those who live above their means are destined to live beneath their means, and we have lived above our means for to long. Imagine what you could do with the money you made if you did not have a car payment, credit card payment, multiple credit card payments, heloc loan payments, or god forbid, a house payment.

What would you do if you could put that money to work for you? If you could use it gain interest and build wealth rather then pay interest that slowly leads to impoverishment.

It is time to save money, it is time to pay off debt, and it is time to break free of debt slavery.

THE BIGGER THE BOOM... THE BIGGER THE BUST!!!

Boom and bust is capitalisms summah and wintaaah!

The guy who made this video, Bruno Powroznik, is totally insane. However, this is perhaps the best explanation of inflation, boom and bust cycles, and why recessions are good for the economy I have ever seen.

Enjoy!

The American Consumer is Dead...Literally

It is a sad day when Americans are in such a rabid frenzy to buy cheap Chinese products, using borrowed money from financially insolvent banks, that they could care less people are being trampled to death beneath the grotesque white trash stampede they are a part of.

This is the last wretched breath of the greedy, ignorant, and debt ridden American consumer. May you burn in hell forever, and may your card be maxed out, and denied when you try and charge an ice water to it when you arrive.

(CNN) -- Three violent deaths in two stores marred the opening of the Christmas shopping season Friday.

n the second, unrelated incident, two men were shot dead in a Toys "R" Us in Palm Desert, California, after they argued in the store, police said.

The toy company and authorities said the California shootings had nothing to do with shopping on Black Friday, which is historically one of the year's busiest shopping days.

The Wal-Mart worker, whom authorities did not identify, was 34 and lived in Queens, said Nassau County police Detective Lt. Michael Fleming.

"This was utter chaos as these men tried to open the door this morning," Fleming said. Watch police describe the 'utter chaos' »

Video showed as many as a dozen people knocked to the floor in the stampede of people trying to get into the Wal-Mart store, Fleming said.

The employee was "stepped on by hundreds of people" as other workers attempted to fight their way through the crowd, Fleming said.

"Several minutes" passed before others were able to clear space around the man and attempt to render aid. Police arrived, and "as they were giving first aid, those police officers were also jostled and pushed," he said.

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

Minnesota voter picks "Lizard People" over Obama and McCain

Ballot #5: Lizard People

This Beltrami County voter cast their ballot for Al Franken, but also put "Lizard People" as a write-in candidate, not only in the U.S. Senate race, but for several others. The county auditor/treasurer ruled that the vote should not be counted because it's considered an overvote. Representatives for Franken challenged that decision. (MPR Photo/Tom Robertson)

You have to love the voters of Minnesota.

Unemployment is Skyrocketing

Click image to enlarge

There is an old joke among economists that states:
"A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job."

The list above shows the current unemployment rate, where as the list below shows the unemployment rate during the period of the Great Depression. If you look at Michigan you could see that were are basically already at a 1930 level of economic despair. Will the rest of the nation follow or will the Midwest enter a regional depression while the rest of the US just have a recession?

Year Unemployment rate

1923-29: 3.3

1930: 8.9

1931: 15.9

1932: 23.6

1933: 24.9

1934: 21.7

1935: 20.1

1936: 17.0

1937: 14.3

1938: 19.0

1939: 17.2

1940: 14.6

1941: 9.9

1942: 4.7

Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet the New World Order.

Malcom, and Gray... Do you Believe Ron Paul Now?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - World leaders pledged rapid action on Saturday to rescue a weakening global economy from the worst financial crisis in over 70 years and agreed to give emerging nations more say in running financial affairs.

The Group of 20 leaders from major industrialized and developing countries set out plans to toughen oversight for major global banks, study limits on banker pay and try for a breakthrough by year end in global trade talks -- all part of a roadmap to rebuild a financial system crippled by the credit crisis...

POWER SHIFT BEGINS

In what portends a major shift in the global balance of economic power, the G20 agreed to a place for emerging market economies on the Financial Stability Forum, where top bank regulators evaluate banking and market risk.

The FSF also won a bigger role in setting global financial policies and standards, which national regulators then would follow.

My Stunning Prediction for the DOW

Lets look at the facts first before I make my shocking prediction

• In October of 2007 the Dow reached a high of approx 14,000 points
• The GDP of the USA is based on 70% consumer spending.

Are you seeing where I am going with this?

If a 70% drop in in GDP, and stock earnings from October of 2007 would translate into a 70% drop in the DOW, that would account for 9800 lost points. Is it that illogical to conclude that
if Americans stopped all consumer spending that the DOW would only be worth 4200?

Now, I don't believe that Americans will completely stop spending, but I do feel with a huge recession, and very probable depression on the way it is very reasonable to think that consumer spending will drop significantly.

Therefore, I predict that the stock market will drop further, and will not bottom out until it goes below 6,000.



This is not the end, its just the beginning of the end.

Who will lead America back to the principles that made it great?

"Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten, and the damned?"

Second Stimulus Package will just be more inflation

Are Americans waking up to the fact that a second stimulus check will simply be negated by more inflation? Maybe if we posted cute pictures of cats, and explained that the government is giving you a cookie, but will then eat the cookie with inflation. Maybe that will help Americans understand.

HousingFEAR endorses the following Candidates

If someone says voting for a candidate other than a Republican or Democrat is a waste of your vote they are lying to you. A wasted vote is voting for the lesser of two evils, or voting for someone who does not represent you. However, a real wasted vote is writing in a candidate, especially one who is not a registered write in candidate, because that vote LITERALLY will not be counted. That, my friends^® truly is a wasted vote.

HousingFEAR is here to help you vote by state for the best candidate who supports the constitution by state ballot access. Please get out to vote, even though these candidates have a very low chance of winning, a higher than expected vote turnout for them can change the political landscape for the future.


If you are lucky enough to live in Montana or Louisiana, Ron Paul is on the ballot. Please cast your vote for Ron Paul. He is only on the ballot in those 2 states.



Chuck Baldwin is listed on the ballot in the following states below, please vote for him if he is on the ballot in your state.

As John Quincy Adams said, "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."

Michigan Suburbs look like this

I feel like we have not really learned much from the housing bust.
Politicians still talk about stabilizing house prices, as if affordable house prices are a bad thing. Banks who wrote horrible mortgages are getting bailed out, and mortgage brokers and Realtors are waiting on the sidelines, buying their time stripping, bartending and waiting tables awaiting the day when the next housing bubble starts and they can make their 100K a year being a parasite of the productive energies of the American people.

Americans are still greedy, selfish, stupid and addicted to debt.

Some things never change.
