>>Americans have been institutionally dumbed down… made ripe of the plucking.

Yup. Starting with the educational process.

Lots of fixing needed there.

Would be interesting if the public schools actually taught entrepreneurial skills.

>> If that is so I hope that somewhere out there the counterpart holiness exists…

Yes of course it does. You can see it in small ways if you look.

Just volunteer for a few days at your local food bank, or Habitat... these are small and non profit... and therefore do not have the power of the profit motive behind them.

Then there is Google. Lots of profit there but the "do no evil" guide line. Have you looked at Google Apps? Mostly free and pretty good stuff.

We (IMHO) are entering into a rough period. Community will be important. It will be good to find a way to help, even a small way.

the '$4 trillion in new debt' inflated housing only. Message 24732915

The inflation that was created was pinned down to housing only. Therefore the US has to deflate housing dramatically. That deflation solves the problem created by negative interest rates.

But doesn't solve the root cause of the negative interest rates created by AG. That is: the economy can only be cranked up by bubbles that result from easy money.
