Random thoughts on the economy and stuff.



The Global Agenda.

I have trouble sleeping at night - it isn't my conscience keeping me awake, nor worries about the economy, it has more to do with some health problems. But that isn't my point here. I noticed during the night a neighbor's van being towed away - shortly after midnight. Why do you think that was? He couldn't afford his car payments any longer and the van was repossessed. I wonder when the house will be repossessed?
.
I said it would happen, and it did today - Macy's announced the closing of nine of their stores - one of them in a north Minneapolis suburb. The Brookdale store has always been a D-list store anyway - meaning, it wasn't a huge money maker, and companies never spent much money renovating the complex, much less stocking it with anything fashionable or high end. Anyway, they are closing, and more store closings are sure to follow.
.
Repossessing homes and cars, stores closing, people losing their investments and social security - perhaps these are simply metaphors for the "change" that has been promised...
.
Of course everyone knows the economy is bad and getting worse and worse, as Obama keeps repeating. So the solution is to "spend" their way out of it by printing more money and bailing the banking and investment industries out. Sorry - they won't pay your credit bills or forgive your debts however. But will that even matter?
.
Isn't printing more money just leading to greater debt? Isn't printing more money what deflates the value of the dollar and leads to skyrocketing inflation? What is really going on? Gorbachev, Sarkozy, Merkel, and Tony Blair? - Yeah, they are all calling for a new world order, a new global economy, a new global capitalism, a new international agenda - and why is Obama supposed to be the leader?

.

Something is going on... I have a hunch the economic crises wasn't really an accident.
