Since I have officially been retired for the last 18 months, I have nothing to do and all day to do it.  As a result, I often find myself ‘surfing the web’, looking at this and that. Today, I came across this powerful message by Rod Parsley addressing the financial mess we currently find ourselves [...]

Just a quick posted article written today for your consideration.  Here is a quote to whet your appetite considering that oil is over $80 per barrel today and the Federal debt ceiling is over $14,000,000,000,000 (that’s $14 trillion) as of now and “projected” to increase to over $18 trillion in four years (compared to $900,000,000,000=$900 [...]

The following article link explores the current increase in the price of oil in light of the fragile economic recovery: http://www.heatingoil.com/blog/42571027/ The fact is, as the price of oil increases, it actually reflects the decreased value of the dollar and is more of the same when it comes to speculators driving the price up.  They [...]

It seems now that Obama is president, he has a new take on increasing the debt load on our children and grandchildren.  He has requested Congress to raise the debt ceiling before October in order to avoid the government going into default on its debt load.  Here is the article link with some quotes first: [...]

Two links today that may just take your breath away and get your blood pressure to rise: One to a video with that evil, hateful Glenn Beck daring to ask a few questions: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29631/ Now the link to the web site Glenn is referencing: http://www.usdebtclock.org/ If the current administration’s philosophy is correct, and we as [...]

Since this is my 100th post, I thought I would link something silly for a change (kind of), so here from the Onion is a spoof that puts forth the idea that the Chinese (who hold at least one trillion dollars [ that's $1,000,000,000,000] in debt from this country) have taken over and are now [...]

Today’s post is a link revealing the latest Bidenism where he confirms his position that “we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt.” http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=51162 This guy is a heartbeat away from the presidency!  Yikes!!  Up is the new down, left is the new right and going further in debt is the new [...]

If there is any doubt as to whether this country is heading for full on socialism or not, check out this article: http://money.cnn.com/2009/06/05/retirement/next_crisis_americas_debt.fortune/ Stay with it.  You will be glad you did (or not, depending on your point of view).

It seems that, according to the attached article link from USA Today, we are on the hook for more money as our “benevolent” government continues to “bail out” those whom they deem “are too big to fail”.  Below the link is a copy and paste from one of the comments posted after the article by [...]

I just have to preface the following links with a sigh; and a shaking of the head and blinking of the eyes.  The current occupant of the white house has done nothing but up the ante that the previous administration was already doing: spending our way out of debt.  Now he has the audacity to [...]

The following article addresses the Obamas and their “living beyond their means” lifestyle prior to entering politics, the sale of his books and being elected president.  Now it appears that he has “bought the lie” when believing there is a Jack and the magic beans story for America. http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2009/05/04/2009-05-04_president_obamas_mantra_in_debt_we_trust.html#ixzz0FP1MYMFU&A I recommend we not be in [...]

Well, here we go! The Federal government just recently “printed” one trillion dollars to “pay down debt”. Here is a link to Glenn Beck with an example of what this means. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/22954/ Listen and learn; our government has, in effect, “borrowed” money from itself to “pay down debt” it owes! Wow!! I sure wish I [...]
