Downtown Raleigh, NC

The guide for America to restore fiscal sanity is recognizing the challenges of the present and future to establish a plan whether it's at an individual level or governmental level.  The government may not act in the manner to restore fiscal sanity or attempt radical policy changes to allow a a financial system flexibility that benefits the people usage of the system. Therefore, the resolution must be individual, and the freedom of the country allows individuals to manage their own approach and attitude to interaction as a part of the financial system. However, the collapse of the government would make individuals have contingent plans more radical than any other time in modern history. Our financial marketplace, regulatory system, and societal competence in personal and business finance is currently unsustainable for the power of America to remain intact. America's fundamental change in money, finance, and value is a map to restore fiscal sanity. However, the realization of the … [Read more...]

Gawker: Unemployment Stories, “I Can’t Really Afford to Be Alive”

May 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Unemployed Men hop the train in Canada

Gawker series about Unemployment Stories from the people living through the nightmare is compelling, but this volume is the most disturbing of the employment crisis in the series....Unemployment Stories, Vol. 35: 'I Can't Really Afford to Be Alive' In most states, the unemployment rate is coming down, ever so slowly. Still, nearly 12 million Americans are officially unemployed, and millions more have dropped out of the labor force entirely. Each week, we bring you true stories of unemployment, straight from the unemployed. This is what's happening out there. I hate myself I am unemployed and I hate it. Even worse, I hate myself. I am one of over 12 million people (based on the January 2013 BLS stats) in this country that does not have a job but wants one. I never ever wanted to be unemployed. I never thought I could have my job taken away from me (I despise the phrase “lost my job” since it implies it was entirely my fault, like my job was a set of car keys). Sure, like … [Read more...]

Marriner_S._Eccles_Federal_Reserve_Board_Building

                        The European view is bleak and pessimistic as the prospect for growth, cooperation in the Eurozone, resolution of the debt crisis is non-existent in the future. The future for Europeans about their own predicament seem negative, but they look to America as a country in a true economic and employment recovery with prospects for true growth and resolution to challenges as a probability in the near future. America seems stable and a place for companies to export good and services as an alternative to sluggish economic activity in the 17 country Eurozone region. America has real economic problems, but the Europeans still view the American situation as manageable. The European media writes about a different America as the media portrays in the United States, and this view is throughout all elements of society. America does not have it that bad....Live over in … [Read more...]

Detroit is the future for America under current Washington gridlock

May 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Downtown Detroit hides problems from the glimmer of the skyline

Denver's mayor will not seek reelection, and The Daily Beast did a great job of capturing the essence of David Bing's departure including the political landscape and historical fiscal problems has left the city in near collapse. The ironic part of the article is that sounds like Washington, DC. Anyone wants a glimpse into the future of America should look at Detroit, because the situation of the city are because of same political stalemate and insanity in Washington, DC. The excerpt from The Daily Beast: After a tumultuous four years overseeing a city long riddled with blight, corruption, crime, and historic financial issues, mayor David Bing has had enough, telling a stunned audience at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History Tuesday that he’d leave when his term ends in December. The 69-year-old Bing, a hall-of-fame NBA player who spent most of his career with the Pistons and then was a successful businessman in Detroit had never run for office before … [Read more...]

America’s education system scores an F in financial literacy/education

May 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment

  The failure of the education system in personal finance     Finance - Financial injection - Finance (Photo credit: @Doug88888) Every teenager looks forward to turning 18, and the gateway to adulthood is turning 18 in America…. At 18 years of age in America, the question of this age group should be asked…Do I go to college or start my own business? However, the current education system does prepare our emerging adults on the subject of sex education and the use of condoms. The system does not provide the basics of personal finance, the use of credit in the United States, how to start a business or constructing a business plan, or any integration of thefinancial system. The education system fails our children in the instance of personal financial literacy. I think about if our education system spent the investment in educating me in the use of condoms into a personal financial literacy program. As I turn forty this year, what a head … [Read more...]

March was the coldest in 40 years and 30′s shattered May records in Mid-South

May 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment
February Snow

It was cold in Charleston, South Carolina, Washington, DC, and Raleigh, NC, and we are in the middle of May 2013. I have been all three cities over the last 72 hours. The beginning of May was cold and windy, and that is an oddity to have an extended period of cold weather in the month of May. A warm up is expected by Wednesday, but let's review the winter and spring weather and the oddity for the Washington-Raleigh corridor in the experience of both seasons for 2012-2013 season. The somewhat mild winter was a tragedy for snow lovers, but March 13 was the change in the weather pattern. It has been mostly below normal in temperatures. Washington, DC did receive the first 1" snowfall on March 24. Sleet fell for several hours in Raleigh, NC on April 4. Raleigh recorded a record low of 39 degrees this morning. The first record for a low temperatures in 4.5 years. As the warm up begins, we may be wishing for cold weather if July 4th is a repeat of last year … [Read more...]
