Contagious Self-Doubt

The latest social disease to grace the planet is "self-doubt."

The TV stations spread the word, "You don't exist."

The radio blares, "We are better than you."

The internet says, "You don't matter."

The preachers preach, "You know nothing."

Make up your own mind.

A Poor Person's Observation

If you have saved more money than the FDIC will insure, you have saved too much money.

A Little More About Inflation

Just as one example of the persistence of inflation, the price of Star Wars toys has gone up 25% this year.

Oh yes, one more example. The "standard" price of comic books has risen 1/3---from 2.99 to 3.99----

"Negative inflation"???????

Negative Inflation?

Who came up with the idea that prices are going down? Do they have butlers who do all their shopping for them?

Someone, I don't know who, claims there should be no Social Security cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA), because of "negative inflation." I don't know where they shop, but I shop mainly at Walmart. True, some things went down, but they went right back up a few months later. (Walmart's "Rollbacks" are no longer forever, but only a couple months.)

And my prescription costs are basically doubling next year. Yes, I can afford it, but it adds up.

Barack, set these armchair economists straight---

Back Over 10,000

Yes, the market is back over 10,000---Thanks to February's Social Security stimulus---You see, poor people actually spend their money, unlike rich people who hoard it---So it comes as good news that the government wants to issue another Soc Sec stimulus---

The Truth About Ecstacy

Ecstacy is supposedly a new drug. Not true. It is actually the two most dangerous drugs pressed together into a pill. Those two drugs are methamphetamines and heroin.

If you trick yourself into believing this drug is enjoyable, you may soon find yourself wearing a badge, trying to save the world.
