And of course cheap, trying to save money went from web to Petsmart (looking to buy a couple dogs (rather large) a crate for each, refill the garbage can with dog food,
new stainless dog food bowls and found few but chinese products. And as they were nearly the same (as i refused to buy them....reading former posts will explain why,
I found myself in the middle of Walmart. I could not recall how I got there, I plead amnesia and banks cutting credit card limits when i have not missed a payment in 35 years, never late, never less than minimum amount or in full......so their cutting (especially B of A who as recently as 12 months ago offered me a 200,000 zero down fixed mortgage with no documentation as they see the money wired to my account monthly from trading account since 1995. I keep trying to leave them......they keep buying the bank I leave to get away) ....any who any way, their cutting of my credit limits reflects THEIR credit issues, but destroys my ability to keep my fico high.
And raised my rates on the accounts too? Why? Because they can.....I asked them to lower it. I am creditworthy and pay. Hence the problem, I found the idea is not to pay once and tried it last month. They called within two days and have called since daily (as AMEX has ...tried it with them too) and 7 days a week from 7 AM to 8 PM and get this.....I AM NOT EVEN 30 DAYS LATE YET!!!!! and calling after 2 days of the billing date? Just who is in trouble here. Me or B of A and AMEX? So I no longer answer and will demand lower rates and higher limits soon.....now that my FICO score get trashed by their immediate need for my cash at all costs......I told them they got it already to the TARP tunes, and last asked B of A to fork over additional 35 billion in capital fast.....not funny people I just hung up. Unfair that their credit issues weigh on my FICO scores and wish them a new twist on the Iranian "Death to America" day festival of hate......mine day will be called "death of bank of america" day, as they destroy (and have no patriotism only profit greed for money from anywhere.....so they may move away please and haul Ken Lewis with them) as they lower American FICO scores .....AMEX a worse offender....far worse, and both with the name "American" or "America" in them now preventing (due to lower credit scores and higher rates on credit though we have given them money via taxpayer future hikes, in enormity, and these lower rates prevent housing sales from proceeding, from credit to purchase goods from increasing for 75% ofthe public.
It not only unpatriotic but nearly treasonous.
Which brings me back to my temporary amnesia issue finding myself in Walmart buying Chinese because it is so cheap, due ONLY to cheap labor (not efficiency, nor the product superiority, no. none of these things, the currency too cheap by 800% and so saved 30 dollars vs Petsmart and Petsmart was far less than the local pet store special order, and cheaper than Amazon if you include shipping out of a total cash (no more credit card crap) purchase, now headed for China out of the USA of 190 dollars, saving me 16% (and also sales taxes on that 30 dollars, and nearly 50 % or more from the local folks I like, and 20% vs Amazon.
I am embarrassed, humiliated and know, if I am doing this, the population is continuing to hand over 20 cents of each dollar in retail sales to the Chinese gratis China (Iran too is thankful, as is North Korea) and so, we pay the debt of the banks, we pay the debt to China, we pay new debt as Iran endangers Israel more than a split state with the Palestinians and sooner.
All because of my amnesia. Acutally could not find a damn thing (but one) made in the USA. So hope for the stock rally and banks etc....must be based on the concept of a miracle occuring to make the USA workers wealthy, the middle class rich and the rich richer (all with health care and wealfare) and somehow the debt will disappear magically, as the growth without higher credit and wages and lower debt is like the scene in "Groundhog Day" with the old man dead on arrival at the hospital repeated no matter what. As I continue to say (and Bill Murray says in the movie "Any change is good). Or perhaps a large volcano will erupt destroying all China, followed by a sunami cooling in and burying Walmarts best buddy China tomorrow. Highly rare event.
And then, I could not have bought anything I did from elsewhere but China, as nothing is made here now, the beer issue a real problem. America, "baseball, mother and apple pie" .....and the beer at the game made here but for cheap labor as no major brewery exists in the USA as USA owned now. Sam Adams does not count.
And "as GM goes, so goes the nation". And there are many sayings, much at stake and yet without a national strike on these issues to stop and reverse the damage done in 30 years, we will be eating our dogs, the Brazilians will sell beef to China (and no longer need eat dogs as the stories of the past) and I will be very upset about my dogs but at least now they are fatter, happier and better BBQ'ing. Tasty? Hope I never find out.
