Hi Joan, I agree on the "hopeless" feeling, but I'm still trying
to work on it & wait for the Atlas Shrugged scenario to play out -ng.
I still try to explain what I see vs what's in the media to anyone
who'll listen. We have the charts of Japan to point to for recent history...

Gov't we can vote out, then we just have to vote another govbot
in to take their place, reminds me of a scene in the second Matrix
where they just keep coming...

Increased bank fees & nasty credit card amendments have
been in my mail lately too. I had to write a letter to my credit
card company to opt out of a new change where they could
increase the APR to 24.99% if a "minimum" payment was
missed, which of course could happen quite accidentally if
your check to pay the balance in full was late a day.

Now regarding the tax increases we've been seeing everywhere,
what's the point of having a fiat currency that taxes its citizens
into bankruptcy when by definition of a fiat currency the gov't
doesn't need a single tax dollar from anyone anymore?
They've certainly printed enough the last decade...
Broke Sheep = Controlable Sheep?

regards,
Tom
