The 'federal reserve' dogma will eventually fail. Only to be replaced by others. The underlying problem is how to replace 'thinking.'

I'm starting to think, the more stocks are manipulated....the higher gold will go. As more people figure things out, the more they're going to realize the dollar and the economy is toast. I bought more gold yesterday.....I'm getting ready for the big one. I might have to raise my target above $2000. ;-)

Another way prudent get f*cked (since they are the ones who pay taxes - others going through foreclosure etc will somehow get away without paying the taxes) 19 Percent Tax Hike OK'd in Loudoun April 2, 2008 - 9:05am LEESBURG, Va. (AP) - Property tax rates are headed higher in Loudoun County. The Board of Supervisors has approved a 19 percent increase in the property tax rate for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Typical residential tax bills are expected to climb about 6.5 percent, or more than $300. The increase is part of a $1 billion county budget approved Tuesday. County officials say the increase is needed to offset growing school enrollments and a drop in assessments that created a $25 million budget shortfall. Board Chairman Scott York supported a smaller tax increase and proposed withdrawing $36 million from the county's $108 million rainy day fund to cover the shortfall. However, County Administrator Kirby Bowers warned supervisors that tapping the reserve could threaten the county's credit rating. ___ Information from: The Washington Post, washingtonpost.com (Copyright 2008 The Associated Press.
