What? That’s unheard of. Why give taxpayer’s large sums of money? They wouldn’t know what to do with it. They’d just go out and spend it on “personal” stuff and Not re-invest it in the national interest, right?

Except…that is what the initiative is all about, to spark the economy so that spending will continue. Except … if U.S. citizens are burdened with new debt, by bailing out rich people, they will not be in a position to spend. And why is it so important for US citizens to worry about not being able to ge tloans? Isn’t that just more indebtedness? Mmmmm.

Debt is an ugly, ugly, ugly cycle. Ain’t nuttin’ nice ’bout it. It is the manifestation of negative energy, aka evil, which is the definition of “causing or threatening distress or harm; a source of sorrow; calamity”.

Debt is a cosmic black hole created to maintain control of and eventually, swallow up it’s victims, in this case, the masses. Because once you’re in the “credit” hole, it was conceived that you will always be in the “credit” hole, good or bad. No matter how much money you have, you will always be seduced to need more — and that will invite credit.

And someone(s) established this euchred system as the foundation for our economic survival. It’s sort of like a curse, you know, “A Pox upon your house!”, or a plague, a serpent, a spider web, an addiction. Was there no other way?

CROWE made a stunning proposal, half-jokingly, as a possible resolution for our economic crisis. He said: “that there are relatively *300 million Americans. And the bail out was asking for $700 billion. Why not give 3 billion of that to taxpayers, averaging out to about one mill per person?”

There was a small applause, but mostly shock. We, the people, are not accustomed to concepts that would actually level the playing field. The idea made too much sense, something else we are not accustomed to.

First, it would allow Americans to be in a position to invest as a whole, remove large sums of personal debt, and an opportunity to start over. Really start over. For all economic levels. There would be no more poverty. At least for a while in this country. But think of the possibilities worldwide. We really are do-gooders.

Politicians are dilly dallying on this bail out “crime” because they are waiting to see if we are asleep, and if they can get away with it.

If we don’t say anything, you know, like demonstrate some sign of righteous outrage, some semblance that we are paying attention, then ….WATCH! They will steal 700 BILLION DOLLARS from us and give it to themselves before the week is up.

That is why they are playing the rush game on us, like cheezy salesmen, “Buy now or it will be gone!”

Intimidation, scare tactics, “Great Depression” Oh No! Take the money, take the money. Please TAKE THE MONEY and RUN back to your mansions and yachts and send your offspring to Ivy League campuses this fall without a financial worry. And send our offspring to war to steal and kill for you. That’s the ticket.

Back in the 70’s Teddy Pendagrass crooned:

“Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed. It’s time for thinking instead… No more war and poverty…And they don’t have so very long before their Judgement Day.”

Sing it again Teddy. Louder this time. Because the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Maybe one day, we will wake up. Sooner than later. Because these guys are out of control. And why not? We are just standing back watching like casual observers. But what can we do really?

Mmmmm. Any ideas?

I want to take time out and thank a few people for their persistence, determination, lookin’ out, you know, supporting me. Apparently, these ingenious fellows have found a way to “capitalize” on my blog, the articles, the press releases, etc., which is extremely flattering.

So thank you to the sites that borrow my articles and releases to promote other greeting card companies, I’m flattered! Especially greetinggallery.com, jh183.com, and davickservices.com…there are probably more out there, but you get the spotlight here. I will share your handy work later on in this article.

They are certainly not lazy. I can’t imagine taking the time to “borrow” someone elses work, create a website based on that work, and ask the competitors to my work to pay to advertise on that site.

It would seem to me that if a person is that creative and industrious, they could spend their precious time, not stealing, but developing something amazing, legitimately. Because they are obviously very capable.

I use the term “stealing” because my articles are being reprinted, sometimes re-titled, sometimes left wholly in tact, without my permission. And without my knowledge. You could always ask someone if you could reprint their work without payment — as added publicity. You know? I was never asked or paid for them. Of course, if I were paid, then they could re-print them as they see fit. I think it’s called copyright infringement, which has to do with intellectual property laws…blah blah blah. Anyway…

That can’t cry over you. Word by Jabari Cards Available Now!

Debt is becoming an ugly, ugly, ugly word. It has opened the door for some very nasty people to take advantage of people at their lowest. Let’s take a poll.

How many people do you think go into debt planning NOT to pay their bills?

Logically, people go into debt because they want to live better, they want more of what they see and a lot of the time, cannot afford, but really do need. Such as medical expenses, not even major ones. But everyday things, like dental emergencies, eyeglasses, appendix removal, car repairs. Utility company, cable company, phone company prices exceed your salary. Voila! You’re in debt!

How do you avoid debt? Get a better job with a higher paying salary. Easier said than done for most people. Go to college. We’ll come back to that one. Sell drugs. Prostitute. Those are options for the not so faint of heart. No one in debt plans on not being able to pay their bills anymore than they plan on not being on this planet the next day. They are in debt primarily because of predators.

Credit is BIG BUSINESS. It’s everywhere you look. Banks, PayDay Loans … and Credit Cards are being offered by everyone from stores, gas stations, schools .. you name it and they probably offer credit cards.

We are made to believe if you get credit, it will make your life better. Your credit score will go up. You will have access to just about anything you need and want. Yet, there is all that small print. What’s that all about?

It’s about chain yanking. Loop holes you will eventually have to jump through. Surprise tactics and strategies that will put a strangle hold on your finances. Think foreclosure crisis.

And then the devil invented Collections. The collections industry is just a legitimate form of loan sharking. Few people realize that most collection agencies are law offices. Yeah. Attorneys. Ambulance chasing didn’t exactly dry up. They just found a new prey. And it’s a racket!

Express yourself. Make your dorm room a topic of discussion with politically conscious posters. Advanced thinkers know it’s okay to be funny, but smart, have an opinion without being crass. You don’t have to be RED or BLUE to know that the U.S. is in economic hot water.

The “Truth” will set us free from fear breeders, war mongers, and price gougers. A change is gonna come when we make the change. No one person is gonna do it for us.

The True State of Our Nation Poster

What do you think is the number one reason that causes people to be unhappy? Money Problems? Relationships? Work?

None of the above. Why? Because rich people can be unhappy. Couples that are very much in love can still be unhappy. A person with the greatest job in the world can still be frustrated and unhappy.

The number one reason for unhappiness is a lack of personal fulfillment. When we are not fulfilling our purpose on this planet, we may not realize it, but it leaves us adrift — idle. Sort of in a state of “waiting” for “it” to happen. That thing that makes it all come together, makes life worth living, centers us, calms us, motivates us to get up every morning with a spring in our step.

That’s the hardest thing in life to find.

And very few people on this planet ever find it. There are a number of reasons why.

I’m not happy with my Internet Service, Earthlink. I’m not happy with my banks, US Bank and Wells Fargo. I’m not happy with the services (and fraudulent billing) I received from my former phone company,Verizon, or with Comcast, my former cable company. I’m not happy with the management (HSC) of my apartment complex. I’m not happy with government workers in many of the government departments I have to deal with.

I am not alone. Many many many customers are frustrated, not just with the service, but with the communication with the companies we have to do business with. Why?

They don’t care. They don’t care because they believe that if they lose my business, or your business, they will get millions of other customers, or tenants, or whomever, and you and I will just have to suffer. We will be considered “whiners” or “anti-american anarchists”. Or worse, “whistleblowers”. We will be labeled “disgruntled”, “irate”, “unstable” and become “outcasts”, and “homeless!” Simply because we expected to get what we paid for.

And then boys and girls, the CEO’s will move their companies to third world countries and pay their new employees far far less than they paid their U.S. employees; OR, rob the pension plans and retire to Costa Rica, leaving those poor pompous U.S. employees, who believed they were “just doing their jobs”, unemployed. The consequences of their once smug little dismissal of their former customer’s needs and concerns, that we were paying for, that paid their salaries will start to haunt them.
