Citizens are over-taxed already, yet the size of government and their salaries and perks keep growing. I’m sure Troy is only one example of how most cities are run. How long can this continue. It’s getting close to the tipping point already, where the taxpayers cannot be expected to fund the welfare system of government. [...]

Jobs Plentiful.
December 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Economy, Politics
In fact, I might just quit my job as an engineer and apply for this one. Federal Housing Finance Agency is hiring big time. Look at this job posting. I work for a company that makes product and sells. What does the federal government make and sell? Does federal government design and manufacture something that [...]

Hot Dogs and Beans Era of Our Lives
September 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Economy, Politics
Obama getting grilled by his own supporters. Precious Moment. Socialism is not working. Not surprising. Socialism is another term for equalization. Naturally, things tend to equalize to the lowest common denominator. That is not America. America is where individual greatness, hard work, and intelligence is rewarded; not punished.

To Buy a GM Car Again? Not!!
August 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Economy, Politics
I was looking into buying a GM car as my next purchase. That thought is now gone out the door. GM, which is government (taxpayer) owned, is now contributing to Congressional Black Caucus. Racial politics at it’s worst. If they really wanted to do something with our money, why don’t they setup a inner city [...]

SEC suing Goldman Sachs for Fraud. This should not be a surprise to anyone that reads this blog. In fact, this is only the tip of the iceberg. This is probably what they could find. I’m sure there is much more that is hidden and buried that will never come out.

National Health Care System Coming
March 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Economy, Politics
Well, here we go. On our way to nationalized health care system. Anyone been to a county hospital? Mediocre service and support. In order to make ourselves feel good about covering everyone, we’re gonna lower the standard for most. Meanwhile taxes will be going through the roof. I can smell a VAT already, like the [...]

Size of the Federal Government workforce is now the largest in history. Will this solve the unemployment problem? This is unbelievable. Taxpayers are now burdened with this and the massive debt. Future not very bright for my kids.

Economy Near Depression Levels

Economy is near depression levels but you wouldn’t know it from looking at the stock market. Obama’s stimulus has not worked, the worst has just been postponed and the real data has been well hidden.

Welfare Fraud – Free phones for those on the roll
July 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Economy, Politics
Free phones for those on the welfare roll. More of your hard earned tax dollars going to work. Here I am trying to cut down on my own cell phone bill. And then I see that my tax dollars are going to be subsidizing phones for those on welfare. The more I learn, the more [...]

Goldman Sachs – The Great American Bubble Machine
July 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Economy, Politics
The more I observe the financial markets, the more I learn of the fraud. The fleecing of Americans is mostly done by politicians, but, a big player has been Wall Street. At the center of this is the behemoth Goldman Sachs. Now, most of my observations are documented here in this article by Matt Taibbi. [...]

Where’s my bailout? Time to go look for that mansion and finance 100%. Then stop making the payments. Hopefully my bailout will [...]

Now McCain wants another morgtage bailout
October 8th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Economy, Politics
This is unbelievable. Let’s just reward people that made questionable decisions. Not saying all foreclosures are from bad people, but hey, maybe I should have bought a mansion too, so I could get bailed out by McCain. But no. In this case, I’m going to bail out someone else who bought that mansion. The Republican [...]
