Congratulations Mr. Trump. Maybe you can pull a “Garfield.”

Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!!!  This is a warning that there will be tons of sarcasm, facetiousness, cynicism and a bit of BRUTAL Truth ALERT!  Be warned.   Congratulations.  (Kind of) As if there were any doubt that you would be the Republican Nominee to run against Joe Biden again.   There is an old concept of management …

Dear Mr. Trump,

If it was not for the Deep-State Trump might have had a chance the first time around to “Make America Great.”

It’s the end of the World as we know it.

Sorry that it has been a while, but I have a real life, and I have been spending too little time with my wife. One of her major complaints is that I spend so much time reading. I made the mistake of not being aware of what was going on back in 2007 and 2008, …

Yes we can, but not again…

Well, it seems like nothing will ever change.  The best looking, slick-sounding candidates seem to be getting the attention of the media.  In Germany, no one knows who Ron Paul is.  Everyone laughed at the charts from Ross Perot.  It seems that all of those things are coming to fruition.  Of course no one is …

Dear Mr. President…

Well, with all due respect to Pink, I think she needs a new song. A story:   One of broken promises and misplaced trust.  Here is the letter I wrote (but forged Jonathan’s name to), to Mr. Obama: Dear Mr. Obama, It is with deep regret that I write that you have failed.  You promised …

I …

Once again? ‘Where’s the Beef?’ Protesting is great, but I would like to see some solutions…

OK, so in the last post we covered a bit about banks, investment and the Federal Reserve.  One of the things that has been bothering me since hearing the first reports of the ‘Wall-Street occupation’ is that there seems to be absolutely no direction to the protests.  Of course people are frustrated, heck I have …

OK…Part 2….let’s improve the curve.

Alright, for those of joining us late, or coming late to class, please refer to the last post: What do banks do?.  No problem, I’ll wait until you catch up.  As they say here, “the paper is patient.” I will have you know I am missing the Germany vs. Turkey Football (Soccer for those in …

Banks? Jeepers. People have a really shallow learning curve…a bit of info so you know what you are protesting against.

Well, for those of you who missed the first ‘warm-up’ on economics, look here:  Economics 101. Here is Banking 101. As an intro, you might want to read this: Billions for the Bankers; Debts for the people.  [amazon_link id=”B0028GAVXA” target=”_blank” ]Billions for the bankers, debts for the people.[/amazon_link] Read it, and you can spare reading …

Jobs Program? Where’s the beef?

  Ok, it has been ages since I have written anything, and here is probably the least productive use of my efforts, but as they say in Germany “ich habe jetzt meine Schnauzevoll!”   (Try google translator if you don’t understand.) I have been harping for years; that would be for almost 20, about the ‘big-box …
