More Debt Than People

(BBanks) If the economy is so bad, and governments are propping up economies with greater debt loads, where is all the money going?

Who exactly is benefiting from all this largese? Are we just mortgaging our future so that a few wealthy people/companies/families/gangs, (etc) hold us ransom for money that will never, can never, be paid?

Are we living so ‘high on the hog’ that we can’t afford to contribute meaningfully to our own future well-being?

Studies have shown that the underground ecomonies of drugs, sexual trafficking and bootleg ‘everything’ has grown so much that the money possessed by these crime rings can never be brought to the surface of taxation and social responsibilities.

We are becoming not only indebted to our future but also to criminal activities!

The legalization of everything is coming so that governments, that have robbed from the middle-class and poor for so long, cannot continue to overlook the wealth of drugs and sex, and the possible tax revenues, much longer.

Our future outlook is much worse than anyone can imagine!

Yes, good enough to raise money in this program

(NB CarBeat) Ford Motor Company reports higher sales for July than expected, points to the “Clunkers for cash” stimulus plan as a “great example” for putting America back to work.

Senator Ringworth (D-Colorado) declares that with each clunker ” a new era of government support once again mortgages future generations for the ill-thinking oil-drunk Americans” and suggests a mandate of 20% minimum electric cars be purchased as part of this “cash for poor people to buy modest gas guzzlers” despite the restricive policy of cars eligible for this program.

However, there are unintended consequences yet to be revealed, such as the percentage guaranteed on cash profits in the ”clunkers for cash” dealer sale and the disposal trail that is yet to be determined for these rust buckets.

Unnamed surces that Oregon will not push for “free fill” for many dangerous and abondoned mines to be filled with shredded steel.

(SNews) A clever burglar wa sapprehended as he made a common mistake… facing the security camera without a mask on seconds before he spray paints the lens to avoid detection… WHOOPS!

He is facing multiple charges stemming from the arrest and is now free on a $500.00 bond pending trial.

Justice sure is swift! More photos here.

Homeless man coppers it up

(MidNews) A homeless man was almost arrested at a metal recycling plant as he was selling 40lbs of copper.

penniesIt seems that the homeless man (name unavailable) was turning in more than 40lbs of flattened pennies retrieved from alongside railroad tracks, and when the clerk at the metal recycling shop realized what the medal was and the police were called.

“There was no arrest” said Sgt. Flaherty, spokesman for Midtown PD “but the appropriate authorities were called before that decision was made”. An insider, that wished to remain anonymous, reported that the FBI and Treasury agents were also called in, as the copper was “currency, despite it’s present condition” and destruction is outlined as a crime in the federal statutes concerning currency.
