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?

Are we headed for another Great Depression? Or worse, is the U.S. descending headlong into a Third World future? Or, is it all just Hype?

Can we prevent our worse fears from happening?

First, we need to stop the stealing. Unfortunately, we just can’t seem to find the time to get these cattlemen in line. We’re too distracted with our lives.

For instance, do you ever feel as though someone keeps moving the finish line?

Like, just when you think you’re about to catch up with, say — your bills, your work, some long, drawn out “issue” that just never seems to give an inch or go away, like a legal matter, say — a divorce, or a custody battle, or those pesky student loans, family squabbles?

And then something happens to just pull you back under. Like there is this grand conspiracy to just keep you distracted with petty, mindnumbing, BS! You know?

Maybe you don’t know. Maybe you’re one of the lucky few whose life is just rolling along on a highway to heaven, blue skies, bright sun, just enough rain. There you are whistling, smiling, happy go lucky you. Wink Wink. All XOXO.

It’s like there are these two parallel universes — one with people who keep getting close to the finish line, and it disappears, and they have to start over or keep going around in a circle to nowhere; and the other universe is filled with people who see the finish line clearly, cross it and move on to their next success.

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!

A Beautiful Life – Word by Jabari

In the News again today, “Another Professional Athlete Busted for Cocaine!” No need to say a name, it doesn’t matter.

It’s not an epidemic. It’s a deception. Drug dealer’s target athletes for three reasons:

1) Money
Athletes are targeted early…in college…in high school. The more potential a player shows in those formative years, increases the money opportunities in the pros. Hence, if you can get them hooked before the money comes, you’ve got a “wealthy client” for the long term.

2) Exposure
High profile clients, candidates for idol worship, will improve the odds to lure in impressionable fans. Everytime a well-known athlete is exposed for drug possession, it glamorizes a way of life. It’s free advertisement.

3) Vulnerability
Most of these athletes are young men who have not come into their own. They do not have a sense of self-awareness and, like everyone else, have a need to belong, to be cool. They are told, “to be a man, you need to do this and handle that.”

So who gets targeted most and why?

I own and drive a 5 Series BMW. But I am a member of Zip Car and I use their cars at least 2-3 times a month or more. I run errands, I go on appointments, I zip around town. I can pick up a car simply by calling on my cell phone and making a reservation for any of the numerous cars available. From BMW’s to the hot Scion XD, Honda Civics, Prius, and more.

I go to the location, run my member card across the windshield, get in and go. I return, run my card again, and go home.

I like it because the GAS IS PAID FOR, as well as the INSURANCE, and I get to test out new cars to see what I might choose to buy next. I save mileage on my car. I save wear and tear on my car. And Zip is available when my car is being cranky.

Is it expensive? Is it worth it? It all depends on you and what you need. You have to check out their website to see all the details.

Just click on one of the links below and see for yourself.

What do we want to do more than anything?

BOYCOTT GAS AND STOP THE GOUGING, RIGHT?????

SAY IT LOUD AND PROUD … WITH OUR

Boycott Gas T-Shirt, Bumper Sticker, and Posters

Why don’cha Click the Image for a better view? Huh? Huh? Why don’cha?
Double dare you!

Then wear it and tell the greedy

We’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anyMORRRE!

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.
