Big Banks Can’t Lose

You know what they say about the House in Vegas.  The House never loses.  Well, the four largest banks in America just pulled off that trick here in the 1st Quarter of 2010.  They went a full 61 days without a loss.  Not even one day.  Zip.  Nada.

That’s like going to the race track and winning every day.

“Their remarkable 61-day streak is one for the record books. Perfect trading quarters on Wall Street are about as rare as perfect games in Major League Baseball. On Sunday, Dallas Braden of the Oakland Athletics pitched what was only the 19th perfect game in baseball history.” reports the New York Times.

If you have any money left in the Rigged Casino called Wallstreet,  you might consider getting it out.

This is not financial advise.  I am not a financial advisor.  But did you see how fast they can make the market fall on May 6th?  Some of the brightest economic minds have been telling us the game is rigged and that the actual financial situation is insolvency for quite a few years now.  People like Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Jim Sinclair, Jim Rogers, and Marc Faber.

The only way to stop banks from looting your money is to Use Cash in as many transactions as possible.

Ron Paul says we are Broke!

He is on with Jack Cafferty.  We are broke and will be unable to pay back the huge debts we have:

Honesty is rare on TV these days.

The Invisible Bread Lines of the Greatest Depression

Here’s the hard numbers:

We are up to 37.9 Million on Food Stamps now.  For some states this is a year over year change of about 50%.  The only state that reduced rolls is Texas. 

As this depression becomes more engrained, the question becomes how long can this trend continue before the system collapses under it’s own weight.

Yes, I am referencing this guy….

He wrote some pretty profound ideas down that have all but been forgotten.

“All mankind… being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.”

“Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.”

“I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.”

“It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.”

“New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without anyother reason but because they are not already common.”

I would like to invoke the spirit of his ideas, that they might spread like wildfire on the tongues of men and women again.
