Oct.06.2008 Martial Law? Martial Law? Now that Congress has passed the largest bailout measure in U.S. history, it's more obvious every day that the American taxpayer has been sold a bill of goods. How has the passage of this obscene $750 billion bill helped to stabilize the stock market, here or abroad? Thanks to us,...	Oct.06.2008 Rant on the Economy The bailout sure has calmed the markets, huh? Oh did I say "calmed?" I should have said "fanned the flames of." The amazing arrogance of the US government astounds me. To think that they have the ability, with any amount of money, to avert a massive market adjustment strikes me...
Oct.02.2008 What $700B COULD Buy... This is a recent article from the AP. I felt obligated to share it with everyone because it really puts things into perspective... Enjoy! WASHINGTON - Brother, can you spare a billion? More like $700 billion, to be precise. With Washington trying to finagle a $700 billion rescue for the nation's...	Oct.01.2008 If Writers Could Fix the Economy... I just got this forwarded to me and I have to say - it makes one hell of a lot more sense than the current bail out... Enjoy! >^..^< The Birk Economic Recovery Plan I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We...
Oct.01.2008 Robberies in Oakland Yesterday, thieves visited our home and busted down the front door and stole the flat screen TV. Then they went through our drawers and took whatever they wanted and left the clothes on the floor. Then they went down to the in-law unit which is my husband's office and broke through that door and...	Oct.01.2008 Who is to blame? I have watched the U.S. financial meltdown with a growing sense of dismay. It is also interesting to follow the finger pointing that is inevitable in situations like this. The Administration, Congress, greedy corporate executives have all come in for their share of blame. And if truth be...
Sep.29.2008 Why I'm shocked McCain hasn't kicked the bucket after Friday's debate... I waited for Friday night's debate like a child eagerly awaits Christmas morning. To me, the debates are like the super bowl of the election. I plant myself in front of the tv and enthusiastically cheer on my team, the Democrats, and their captain, Barack Obama. I felt badly for both candidates...	Sep.26.2008 John McCain, you can't suspend a presidency. As I typed in “Gallup Poll” in my search engine, I had an almost childlike excitement as I awaited the results. John McCain’s recent “determination” to resolve our country’s recent financial crisis and “ suspension” of his campaign to make it a top priority has turned my stomach enough to assume...
Sep.24.2008 Yes, they're pirates. But we're on their ship. I reluctantly support chipping in my share of $700 billion dollars -- (about $2,300 for every man, woman and child in the country but more for me since deadbeat kindergarteners aren't pulling their weight) -- to bail out companies driven to the brink of destruction by stupid, selfish, short-sighted...	Sep.24.2008 Will the dismal economy bring a divided nation together? In response to my latest blog about the economy, a good friend of mine brought up a good point. If McPalin is to be elected, and they continue to mercilessly drive the nation into the ground, would people actually come together, within their respective communities, to make change from the ground up...
