Are you the same Conan the Grammarian who used to post on List of the Day at the Dilbert Zone back in the 90s?

Once you get into trouble, subsequent market corrections are never going to be painless (and that reality never makes a good campaign slogan!), but I believe we need to mentally toughen up and deal with reality instead of hope. The market will always correct itself to its sustainable equilibrium. The sooner we do that, the less prolonged misery we will have to endure.

The further back we go along the chain of events the better: we need to treat causes instead of symptoms. Look to the Fed: they do not support sound monetary policies. I know everyone’s eyes glaze over when anyone mentions ‘sound money’–truth be told, mine do to–but sound money is the only way we can have a sound and reliable economy. It’s the core problem we should be solving right now.

Get Your facts strait and live this guy Obama alone, He will be just fine
One more thing!!! Socjalism is not COMMUNISM, stop mixing the facts, learn and think about!

Mandi, only if you learn to spell first.

They all did everything they could to support the family. Papa got a job with the RR. When my eldest aunt graduated from HS, then Secretarial school (government funded, I believe) she lived at home and helped with a paycheck until the next sibling followed in her footsteps and eventually took her place. The last graduate went to Occupied Japan as a civil service secretary. By that time, my Father’s family owned the family home and Papa had worked for the Missouri-Pacific RR consistently though out WWII (as did Dad).

When my father and mother married, they lived on her father’s property in a little 3 room house for rented for $4/month. Mother said sometimes they couldn’t even pay that. However, children back then had to carry their own weight and they’d have never considered asking for free rent. They did grow their own garden, shared other commodities (Grampa owned a butcher shop) most had a few chickens. Dad sometimes picked apples with Grandpa and peddled them in a truck. They were innovative and never idle.

They all made their own clothes and just about everything else, often redesigning a hand-me-down or turning scraps of material into quilts, etc. Pictures from their courtship show a very stylish, handsome couple; Mother in a lovely chiffon tea dress, Father in white flannels, dark dress shirt and tie. Her engagement picture for the local paper show her in a pretty knit dress wearing a jaunty beret. They had no money but didn’t lack for style or manners. They looked to be on top of the world. No credit cards and any incurred debt, by honor, had to be cleared as fast as possible. Different values.

But they never forgot the Depression or FDR. They loved him so much, they didn’t mind when their town in GA, which was named for their family, was changed to Warm Springs. It was an honor. So much for FDR being a fluke.

I thought it best to let “the people” speak for themselves. Who better?

Reading interview after interview, it just seemed very telling – how the daily economic struggle wore them out and down. There was no escaping it – year after year of no income.

Once they lost their job, and then their home – the expenses of daily living just eat away at every other asset they had. And no one else had any money to buy what you needed to sell.

They just kept spiraled down to the point, where their existence becomes a daily search for basic necessities – food & shelter.

Imagine America 20 years from now. What we imagine can become real. All we need is the best and clearest collective vision of where we want to be. If we foolishly focus on a darker collective vision, that’s also a possible destination.

As a responsible business owner, you would naturally have a good grasp of the facts involving cap and trade, thanks for the clear discription.

Cap and trade will not only be a huge tax increase, it will be a massive weight on the backs of all businesses. Efficiently running a business now is difficult enough with the volumes of rules and regulations, imagine if everyone had to work in a vat of molasses. You can be sure that countries like China and India will not be so stupid and bog down their productivity with such nonsense. It’s hard enough as it is for our own industries to compete right now, cap and trade will suck out whatever life is left.

Initially, the taxes generated will be a windfall, but when everything shuts off, so will the the anticipated revenue stream. The class war will finally be over, we’ll all be in the same class, destitute.

As long as Obama feels he has a deeply devoted and potentially hostile army of rabid supporters behind him, he will not stop. It will get ugly.

The mob support can be fleeting in life and can turn on a dime if people rationally see their lives and how Obama policies might impact them.
I heard Obama’s speech to the round table the other day and I noticed he answered a phrase that I and many have been saying..Obama is Bad for business.
Obama says he is Good for Business in response.
By forcing a cap and trade system on the existing economy in the next 10 years means the end of business.

Here is an example..

My company buys poly resins from a manufacturer that expels a lot of carbon. They will be increasing prices to us which we will have to pass on to others.
On top of that my company also will pay more in business taxes because we use a lot of energy to produce industrial bags.
So far that is two price increase that I have to pass on to my customers.
Combine that with the attempt to regulate the type of plastic I use to make bags and you have a third big increase…

I’m convinced that todays Roosevelt imposter does not like this country, he is forcing the most gigantic wealth redistribution in history as a form of political payback and backdoor reparations, and he is pushing through by far the largest across the board tax increase in the history of the world (cap and trade). As long as Obama feels he has a deeply devoted and potentially hostile army of rabid supporters behind him, he will not stop. It will get ugly.
