Sparked by the Fear of the Unknown, this lead to revelation of a cycle. Using a bell curve, I derived an economic collapse (of the current system) around 2010. I didn't finish, or it would have been published. Here it is now - and the change is coming. This blog is dedicated to editorials of our current economic climate, and personal ways I deal with the changes. Oh, and we also talk about Politics!FutureInsightsnoreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367309170803613814.post-74746966747710582702008-09-22T06:40:00.000-07:002008-09-22T06:53:57.774-07:00

Recently, this is what FactCheck had to say about Obama's attack on McCain regarding the privatization of Social Security: (P.S., I recently added them as a recommended site - You Decide - As I allow myself to retort!)Obama would have been correct to say that many workers under age 58 would have had some portion of their Social Security benefits affected by the current market turmoil – if they

The love affair with the McCain/Palin has diminished with a rather horrible financial week. So, the pundits jumped on McCain for saying "the fundamentals of our economy are strong", on the same day the Dow dropped over 500 points. So exactly, how is McCain truly connecting with the common person, and our lives in general?In the past, emotional appeals really worked - ads targeted regarding

One of the hot topics for this election, are we having another Bradley affect? Is there hidden bigotry among our fellow voters? And how does this really affect the true spirituality of the individual, and the group as a whole?I will take the reflection of spirituality through the eyes of a Christian. However, many religions inhabit the United States, and I don't see vast dissimilarities between

If you are like I, you haven't yet set aside the cash for a NEW COMPUTER. So, the only way you would be able to obtain one is if -a. You go into Debt. But this is a bad idea, as debt is what is contributing to our current economic crisis. Why continue to feed this unsustainable Machine?b. Someone gifts it to you. While this is a great idea, it doesn't hurt to save some money up (details

Let's just say I and WAMU had a falling out over SEVERAL ways they messed with my disability direct deposits, how it was posted, and the way they calculated overdrafts for PURCHASES FOR THE SAME DAY.Whew, long sentence. I have since moved on to a Local Credit Union. NO overdraft protection, and I can use my Savings Account for Overdraft if need be - something WamU would NEVER LET ME SET UP.But

With this tough economic climate - who is NOT cutting back on their grocery bills? I learned this little technique in the early 90's, when we were again facing the economic climate of Trickle Down economics.I, like my sister, enjoy the fresh ground coffee (or as in my case, specific gourmet blends found at the grocers, and then ground.) Savings here - fresh coffee ground, kept in refrigerator -
