I have to say I LOVE this statement. Can I put it on a t-shirt???
I always keep cash hidden on my property somewhere...
(wolley swamp)I wonder this as well?? I pay my cards off so I avoid fees and I feel I get great points to use on merchandise. What do credit union cards offer that is better for me ??
That is what I was thinking...You are back in Yankee land, aren't you?
I have never had to put a deposit in on a grocery cart!!!:shock:
That is what I was thinking...
Only had to once in New Jersey at a large grocery store.
I said Mahna Mahna.

A T-Shirt is a "thing"...If you must, just print the statement on your chest with a Sharpie and use the $12 to rent a good movie, buy popcorn & soda and enjoy an evening with friends & family.

Yeah, there is a real good chance that I read too much Peter Schiff, and definately need to stop tuning into Alex Jone's radio show. But If you know of any way for the US to reverse course and avoid this economic "perfect storm" ahead, I'd love to hear it. The oh mighty dollar is taking on water, and I fear that ship is going down.
If we get to a point where nobody wants to accept devalued dollars anymore, it just might be nice to have some gold coins in your pocket.

What's the better alternative to the dollar. Who has the perfect economy and currency. What country using the Euro has solid GDP growth? The doom/gloom thing is caused by mass emotion as much as fundamentals. Three quarters of our economy is determined by individual buying decisions influenced by the greed/fear tug of war.
I enjoy Peter Schiff too.
I think we have indeed hit on the fringes of economic meltdown--with more to come--and we'll see a lot of people financially crushed. The only thing I think will turn this ship around is a finance renaissance where a majority of folks decide they will no longer be slaves to debt, greed, want and "keeping up with the Jones'" (ala the hippy movement in the 60's).
There is currently a move away from McMansion-style housing--it is a start.

Geeez
I hate to be the optimist here but
I don't see this as armagedon but rather just part of
the continueing cycle of boom and bust that is an old, old
story in American finance.
Now, the bigger the boom, the bigger the bust. And we have
been through one heck of a big boom so we can expect one
god-awfull bust but at some point (don't know when) things
will get back to boom again.
Just a never-ending cycle of cycles.
A pendulum swings both ways.
(But I do not)

That's the rub...it's not "Old American Finance" anymore--it's Global Finance now.
America pulled itself up by its bootstraps after the depression because we were an industrialized nation....that's gone. (Instead of manufacturing goods, we're now the global suppliers of debt.)
America was able to get over housing setbacks with just a few banks and individuals going under (because banks held the mortgage notes in-house)...that's gone.
Americans used to get by in bad times between jobs by living off their savings.....that's gone.
Americans used to work for a company for years and years and receive medical benefits and a pension....that's gone.
Financially speaking, THIS TIME--it REALLY is different. We're entering into uncharted financial territory. If America is going to pull out of this economic mess quickly, Americans are going to have to change lifestyles first.
