Once you’ve made your multi-billions and spent centuries in “the game”…you’ve amassed such a fortune that tens of generations couldn’t spend it all, then you get all spiritual and put money in its “right perspective.” It’s for those famous families that I would like to refer the New Testament passage [...]
What does one TRILLION dollars look like? by Uncle Juan All this talk about “stimulus packages” and “bailouts”… A billion dollars… A hundred billion dollars… Eight hundred billion dollars… One TRILLION dollars… What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, [...]
Neither Congress nor the majority of the people understand what’s going on here or what’s at stake. Billion and Trillion are just words coming from the broadcast media talking heads.

It looks like one of Obama’s long time supporters got arrested for some skulduggery. So? Tell me why I should back Hillary or the Republicans. Rezko is chump change compared to some of the things that have happened in the last 8 years. Show me one politician who doesn’t have [...]
Well it is broke. But what you’re proposing won’t fix it. Mr. President, if you want to encourage people to buy stuff, open the oil reserves, cut the gasoline tax in half, fire the guy who’s negotiating with our foreign oil suppliers and replace him with someone who can talk [...]
