    60% of bankruptcies caused by medical bills

    I think alot of people have that health insurance where the insurance pays 80% and you pay 20%. I know I once had an insurance like that.

    'Buy farmland and gold,' advises Dr Doom, Faber

    Personally I think its better to buy it in the 3rd world. If the SHTF and money becomes worthless, I seriously doubt courts will have the power to give or take anything. Also, its much cheaper to bribe the right rebel groups to protect you, and labor will also be much cheaper. It better to...

    'Buy farmland and gold,' advises Dr Doom, Faber

    Farmland is still pretty cheap in places like north dakota. I plan to buy some farmland, but I think I'm going to be shopping for it in Asia.

    The Banks Master Plan

    Yeah, If i was making 20 million per year from my job, I would not care what the share price of my stocks were doing either.

    The Banks Master Plan

    Hyperinflation wipes out any debt owed on those houses so after hyperinflation the homes are owned free & clear by the banks. Then they just sell these homes "as is" if they dont want to fix it up themselves. Or they just do a few inexpensive cosmetic repairs (new paint, carpet, landscaping)...

    What would interest rates be if they were set by the MARKET?

    If they were actually set by the market and we didnt have the fractional reserve system, interest rates would be through the roof. I remember hearing about how when people used to borrow money before the fed came along that interest rates were around 70% per year. Not sure how true it is, as I...

    The Banks Master Plan

    This thought just came to me about a minute ago. The banks have been holding onto these houses and not putting them back on the market. Of course people are saying its because they dont want to flood the supply of homes and push the price down further, but this would mean they would have to...

    A job, but there's a catch: a 1,000-mile commute

    1000 miles in a 20 MPG car and thats 50 gallons of gas. Lets make a high figure of 3 dollars per gallon and he is spending $150 per week on gas. Can he get an apartment for $600 per month in his new city? Maybe. Add in utilities and such and he is probably saving money commuting though...

    Should addicts/recovering be treated differently?

    This seems like it should be an easy topic, but its not. Some addicts are addicts by choice. They used drugs for recreational purposes and then they become bio-chemically addicted and then they steal and lie and act like jerks. But then there are those that take drugs for pain, depression...

    Do scientists ever consider the possibilities, or do they just do stuff w/o thinking?

    What i am saying is that scientists have no idea what was going on during the big bang. All they have is theories and they have many at that. I'm really not worried about them blowing up the Earth because I dont believe in the big bang. But if I did believe it, I would be worried about them...

    What's the difference between a government and terrorist?

    You would be bringing them into a world where they are slaves. You are a slave, I am a slave, and your future children will be slaves. They will pay their tribute to the king, just like everyone else and they will be made to believe they are free. They will be made to believe that they have...

    Millions of Unemployed Face Years Without Jobs

    There is one sure fire solution that would get everyone working nearly overnight. Cut minimum wage and no more unemployment benefits. Let the free market reign and see what is fair. See what people will work for, and how businesses thrive with increased cheap labor.

    Lehman Bankruptcy Advisers Paid $641.9 Million in 16 Months

    It only sounds like alot from the side of the fence you are sitting on. If you told someone in a poor country in africa that people in america pay $1500 or 2k to claim bankruptcy and in that country, the average person makes $250 per year, they wont understand how you didnt have enough money...

    Is the american public the greater fool? Greater fool theory.

    Seems like two sides of the same coin. One hits the bottle every night, while the other first loses everything in the stock market before hitting the bottle everynight. Both end up in the same place except one side has nicer teeth. :D

    How to win an argument with a Christian

    too bad that guy makes assumptions that are not true. He says there is no evidence for a creator, yet there is nothing but evidence for a creator. Why doesnt this guy use the very logic he is talking about. Its like giving the guy a sandwich and him saying there is no evidence that anyone...
