Re: [WISPA] OMG...

2009-02-01 Thread reader
I dunno Marlon.   There's nowhere to run.   Everywhere else in the world is 
going to be worse off than here.

A few days ago I read one of those "investor intelligence" sites and the 
author had pointed out that the middle east is buying gold.  Hundreds of 
billions of dollars worth from many different nations.  They're going to try 
to create a new gold-backed currency and demand everyone buy oil with their 
currency... for the rest of us that means gold.   You know that won't work.

Currently, money is fleeing the hedge funds and mutual funds and money 
market funds and is being tossed into federal bonds.   That means, 
basically, that the world has stopped investing, and is likely out of cash 
or has decided to not part with it.  It takes little to no imagination to 
realize that our government's not going to be able to borrow a lot more 
without running the interest rate up.  At that point, if we print money... 
hyperinflation.  If we don't, deflation.

Either way, our industry is totaly dependent upon imports and imports are 
just not going to be happening if our money is worthless overseas.

We'd be far wiser to invest in PRODUCTION capabilities here, so we can still 
have an industry.   If you can't buy equipment, your business is hosed. 
What would it take to put something that's "standardized" and "commoditized" 
into production?

 I, for one, am paying off my home, cars, what little credit cards I have 
over the next 6 months.

And not going to into debt again.

Sadly, our governments (federal state and local) consume over 40% of 
everything we produce.   We need to cut that back to half or less, so we can 
both invest and buy, and pay our debts as citizens and producers.   and we 
need to let the non-productive stuff fold, and let everything that produces 
wealth go as unhindered as possible.

But nobody is talking about that.   Nope, they've whipped out the plastic 
and intend to spend 5 trillion this year alone, at the federal level... out 
of a 14 trillion dollar economy.   It's insanity.

Latency would likely be an issue though.  Not sure how well VoIP would work.

Yeah, in a cold house on an old worn out mattress.

While your competitors eat caviar and stay warm with $500/hour hookers.

It's not free money Mark.  But our kids are somehow going to have to pay it 
back someday.  Are you going to leave them in poverty when that happens?  Or 
are you going to do what it takes (knowing that you have no control over the 
rules of the game) to make sure that they can pay their share back and still 
live a decent life?

Quit whining and go run for office!  This can NOT be fixed from the outside 
in.  We have to get inside to fix it.

Re: [WISPA] OMG...

I'll be personally lobbying AGAINST the porkbarrle bill.  Giving more money 
to the liars, cheats, and thieves that trashed consumer (stock market 
investors and purchasers) confidence in the first place isn't going to help 
anyone.  In fact it's likely to make people hold on to their money even 
tighter.

After nearly a decade of having a LOT of money on credit cards (some as high 
as 30%) we're paying off the first one in the next few days.  Another one 
should fall in 2 or 3 months.  By the end of the year, all things staying as 
they are now, we'll have nearly all of it paid off.

Till now I've been building and building and building. Now I'm gonna pull 
that back a bit and go into survival mode.  Even though things are NOT tight 
for us right now.  If things really do go to hell in a hand basket I want to 
be ready for it.  If they only go to hell I want to be ready to pick up my 
competitors at the fire sales.

More government debt and/or money to my competitors won't make me spend 
money.  And spending is what it'll take to get things rolling nicely again.

So here's my plan.  I'm gonna try to get this abomination stopped.  If 
(actually when) I fail at that I'll work to make sure that I get as much of 
it as I can.  They WILL spend it.  Might as well come my direction.

In the old days our forefathers ran to America to get away from oppressive 
government.  Where are we supposed to run?  Anyone want to help me start a 
colony on the moon?

Re: [WISPA] OMG...

2009-01-30 Thread Brian Rohrbacher




Here's the deal.  You can't stop the spending.  You can't.  All we can
do is take the spending in a direction that helps the most people and
is less wasteful.  There are two options.  Wasteful spending with
benefits and wasteful spending with no benefits.  Getting rid of
wasteful spending is not an option.

And there are other financial and economic advisors who believe the
opposite - that some short-term deficit spending will help bail the
economy out. I don't have a doctorate in macroeconomics, and I'm
assuming you don't either, so our opinions are both worth approximately
nothing. In any event, it's probably off-topic for this list.

And there are other financial and economic advisors who believe the 
opposite - that some short-term deficit spending will help bail the 
economy out. I don't have a doctorate in macroeconomics, and I'm 
assuming you don't either, so our opinions are both worth approximately 
nothing. In any event, it's probably off-topic for this list.

Hi,

As I mentioned before, I don't want the hand-out either. The problem is, 
I don't want my competition to get any "free" money either (including 
cable or DSL). So, what do we do? The only option I see is to ask for 
our fair share, so we can stay on even ground.

[WISPA] OMG...

2009-01-29 Thread reader
Some of the financial and economic advisors I read from time to time are in 
deadly serious mode and I believe them.   They're saying that unless all 
this debt and spending is stopped and stopped NOW, we're going to face a 
currency collapse as our currency depreciates to worthlessness.

I can't believe a single one of us would be in favor of any of the pork 
barrell bills in Congress, much less raising money to lobby FOR them.

You want to lobby AGAINST there being any pork bills, I'll donate if I can. 
If you're going to lobby for them, I can only surmise than none of you care 
about our future so long as you get your handout NOW.
