The theories are wild. The truth is wilder. The wild truth is that you don’t need a theory. But, let’s just say the theories are true. Let’s say the truth is wilder than we know. There is still hope yet. One man, one man, can lead the revolution. And, you’ll never guess who that one man is. (Big love to “gary o” for the alert on CNBC clips I used for this video!)
Americans spend their days bitching and moaning. The topics vary, but, the outcome is the same: Heads butt with no solutions found to imaginary problems trumped-up to get you and me to sit back in our easy-chair and channel surf from “reality show” to “reality show”.
Elections for President continue to be 50/50 affairs with each “candidate” a stiff, wooden liar who flips and flops more than Jim Cramer after a weekend with Eddie Lampert.
The sooner you remove yourself from the game, the sooner you can get on with - you know - THINKING about some solutions and not FIGHTING about who’s the “most conservative” or “most liberal” candidate.
Maybe then, you can start to see the men and women who want your vote for what they stand for, not who they stand in front of.
Instead of printing money and giving it to the folks that screwed us all in the first place, why not just forgive OUR debts. Pay off OUR loans. Let US have a free ride.
If my tax dollars are going to pay something down, I want it to be MY HOUSE.
IndyMac is not just another bank to go out of business. IndyMac is a bank that went down in spectacular fashion.
IndyMac’s losses of nearly a BILLION dollars ($1,000,000,000) is a big deal.
But, who is accountable? Who can we look at to pick up the tab? Will it be the cheerleaders for the economy over the last couple years?
Think again. Larry Kudlow, Jim Cramer, Erin Burnett, Dylan Ratigan, Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulsen, and, George Bush will be handing the check to someone else.
Some people emailed to say how much of a liberal I was. That was after my interview with Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. Funny, though, all I said was he was a patriot.
I don’t agree with the Congressman on all issues. Some of his opinions on social issues are, in my view, too left-wing.
He is still a patriot.
If patriots can own slaves, lock people up without a trial, suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and, inter Japanese and German ancestried Americans, well, then Dennis Kucinich can be a patriot, too.
Dennis Kucinich is marginalized by the mainstream media. They mock him. He’s a footnote on the 2004 and 2008 Presidential campaigns.
He is, however, a true American patriot.
I do not agree with all of his views. I do, however, agree with his views on liberty, the federal reserve. If that’s all we have in common, it’s enough to take him out of the footnotes and place him to the Title Page.
2001 was the year I told folks to buy the new Toyota Prius. I was laughed at. Even the local Toyota dealer chuckled - as I was the 2nd person in town to buy one.
2006 was the year I told my friend with a farm to load up on gasoline in one of their holding tanks at $2.50 or so a gallon. They sighed, rolled their eyes, and, said, “You’re probably right, but…”
2008 is the year T. Boone Pickens announces his “Pickens Plan” to save us from the dependency on foreign oil. And, now, stuff I’ve preached (and, no, I’m not taking credit for it) for years is now “all the rage”.
Good. Maybe now we can get somewhere. The facts as outline by T. Boone at his website are, well, possibly like the “facts” outlined by Al Gore about “global warming”. IE: Maybe they are true, or, maybe they are fudged by the FACT that T. Boone will make billions on his “plan”.
Call my cynical. But, my cynicism does not cloud my hope that maybe this time, this plan will work.
I don’t talk much about stuff I don’t know about. I listen to those who do. In the case of Global Warming, Al Gore seems to be the man who invented it. So, let’s watch him talk before Congress about his invention.
Note that I do not make a claim on whether Global Warming is real or not. I’m still looking at the evidence. What’s your opinion?
