Financial Vagabond

This video reminds me of one of my college classes relating to Asia.  We discussed how China was leading the way with its foreign direct investments, and creating capitalistic free zones.  Unfortunately, we are seeing how that played out, but it was a good run and if they can figure out their water and pollution [...]

So, I’ve heard about the legislation that doesn’t have sponsors at this point on gun control. I’m talking about H.R. 45. You can find the link here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?c111:./temp/~c111tCkvxA Essentially the bill will severely limit gun rights once again impinging on our freedoms. Don’t expect this to pass unless we have a national emergency. The financial [...]

It seems that the tune to march to these days is credit o credit we need more credit.  Somehow somewhere we forgot quite quickly that credit got us into this mess.  If credit is expanding much faster than real economic growth the outcome will be instability in the economy.  That is like an individual taking [...]

Folks is is time to get off the entitlement binge and take responsibility for our spending and absurd housing prices. As always Ron Paul is to the point about the situation at hand. Wouldn’t you rather have a stronger dollar, our troops brought home, and the ability to send your money how you choose? Sphere: [...]

I’ve been trying to educate people why voting for candidate A or B isn’t the only option.  This article  explains it nicely.
