I studied the problem facing the US Banks and Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac over the issue of $700 billion loan to the Banks to payoff Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac and to allow the FHA to reorganize those Mortgages. If their plan works the problem will still affect the stock market adversely and foreign nations will still tighten their belts against US Interests. It became interesting as I had my own suspicion of why the problem occurred but it could be more severe when adding to it the reasoning… Continue

Senator Dirksen may never have uttered the remark famously attributed to him ("A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking real money") but he is reported to have developed such a fondness for the association that he never publicly denied it. T Boone Pickens' testimony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building about e… Continue

PAULSON’S/BUSH $700 BILLION RAPE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!! How did Treasury Secretary Paulson figure out that recapitalizing the banking system would cost $700 billion? Or did he just estimate the amount of money that could be loaded on the back of the Treasury’s flatbed truck when it sputters off to shower his buddies at G-Sax with freshly minted greenbacks?

All 700 billion will end up in the Swiss bank accounts of the elite! It will NOT stop the Economic meltdown! How can adding 700… Continue

I have been faxing the following message to leading members of Congress. It may not suit you but it suits me. No I do not really expect that Congress will mandate immediate action by Detroit or the oil companies but I wish they would and if I ask for it maybe they will demand action within a few months instead of a few years. In a few years we will all be wearing Arab robes or Mao jackets. If Brazil can be energy independent, so can we. Dear Senator [name]: Your job just got a lot more difficu… Continue

Here are several reasons why I prefer wind and solar alternative energy over nuclear power. No acceptable solution has ever been finalized for disposing of nuclear waste. Nobody wants the waste shipped to their areas as a central storage site. The average time to build a plant is 7 to 12 years. Average cost to build is $2 Billion A near meltdown like Chernobyl is estimated to have cost $358 billion-and 125,000 deaths according to the Ukrainian government. A nuclear power plant becomes a hig… Continue

Is anybody out there? Does anybody care? Those words have been ringing in my head for a month, just can't get them to out. One of my favorite movies is “1776”, that delightful musical about the Declaration of Independence. The leading character is John Adams who sings thi… Continue
