In every disaster -- whether it is in this country or anywhere in the world -- Americans are there to help those who need a helping hand. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of this, which has led to an ever-growing problem with charity fraud.One of the more popular charity causes is to support the public service organizations, which are on the front lines of protecting the rest of us. Sadly enough, charity fraudsters are impersonating organizations that...

Shocking! Interest Rates May Go Higher Than Zero?

The bond market and notes indicate concern and rates are indeed moving higher and yet are still at near record lows for the last century overall. The zero to 0.25 basis point Fed Funds rate has only one direction to go. Even at these rates, the default and debt laced consumer (and the unemployed) can not meet mortgage or loan or credit card payments. They could not at low rates, and the factor is low wages (China competition) and credit removal (gratis bad banking credit stuffed down the consumers throat) and unemployment without savings.

Short Memories, Or What Bush Left Obama To Fix Part 2

Hate to think I am appealing to conservatives or liberals......I believe in socialism and capitalism hand in had, and not being mutually exclusive.So wrote what a great job (burp) the private sector did in the last 8 years prior.....and what issues were already here, that are not new, just a blame game going on.The dollar should not be the reserve currency as it IS dangerous, as the threat will always be there if any sector gets ticked. Our debt was talked down and also bought down to low low rates artificially by the huge trade deficit. One of...

Short Memories, Or What Bush Left Obama To Fix

Seems some who are surmising that rates are going higher, or that the dollar may fly back in our faces or even that North Korea and China with Iran pose a large problem should run back a few months to see this existed in a far more dangerous form of insolvency without so much as a discussion during the problems forming over TARP money tossed to the banks without regulation. And there had been talk of the Chinese and even the OPEC countries dumping dollar assets, and using a basket. GM, Ford, and Chrysler were the walking dead waiting to drop, as...
