I'd like to make you a business offer.

Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact, you really can't turn me down, as you'll come to understand in a moment...

Here's the deal. You're going to start a business or expand the one you've got now. It doesn't really matter what you do or what you're going to do. I'll partner with you no matter what business you're in – as long as it's legal.]]></description>

Investors will face defaults on government bonds given the burden of aging populations and the difficulty of securing more tax revenue, according to Morgan Stanley.

“Governments will impose a loss on some of their stakeholders,” Arnaud Mares, an executive director at Morgan Stanley in London, wrote in a research report today. “The question is not whether they will renege on their promises, but rather upon which of their promises they will renege, and what form this default will take.” The sovereign-debt crisis is global “and it is not over,” the report said.

Mares said debt as a percentage of gross domestic product is a false indicator of an economy’s health given it doesn’t reflect governments’ available revenue and is “backward- looking.” While the U.S. government’s debt is 53 percent of GDP, one of the lowest ratios among developed nations, its debt as a percentage of revenue is 358 percent, one of the highest, the report said.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United States by every measure is hanging on by a thread to its First World status. Saddled by debt, engaged in wars on multiple fronts with a rising police state at home, declining economic productivity, and wild currency fluctuations all threaten America's future.

The general designations of the ranking system for world status date back to the 1950s, and have included countries at various stages of economic development. Since the Cold War, the definition has come to be synonymous with repressive countries where a wealthy class of ruling elites segment society into the haves and have-nots, many times capitalizing on the conditions that follow an economic crisis or war.

While much of the world is still mired in poverty, the reduced cost of innovative tools such as computing and connectivity ironically puts traditional Third World countries at the forefront of a new lean-and-mean economy that is based on ideas of empowerment for the disenfranchised. For better or worse, the world is leveling due to Globalism. However, America and other over-leveraged countries face this re-balancing of the globe at a time when they have dwindling resources. We can speculate about who and what is to blame for America's fantastic fall, but for the purposes of this article we shall focus on the obvious signs that the United States is beginning to resemble a Third World country.]]></description>

Bud Conrad, chief economist at Casey Research, has been predicting (rather correctly) the dire economic consequences that will result from our mushrooming national debt. Of particular concern is the debacle yet to come, from the future’s unfunded liabilities.

Now, however, he is going to have to pass his Mr. Gloom hat to another contender. Namely, Boston University economics professor Laurence Kotlikoff.

In an article published on Bloomberg.com, Kotlikoff writes, “Let’s get real. The U.S. is bankrupt. Neither spending more nor taxing less will help the country pay its bills.”

This is not a news flash. Former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker has been barnstorming the country for the past several years: appearing on every television show that will have him, delivering the same message, trying to educate the American people about the seriousness of our plight.]]></description>

Could reading an investment newsletter cause you to switch party affiliations or change your vote?

Hardly. Political affiliations are generally a combination of values and interests. Few individuals seriously question their notions of right and wrong or have trouble identifying those policies that further their own self-interest.

That's why political discussions - even the few conducted at relatively low decibel levels - seldom result in anyone changing his or her mind. But according to Dr. Daniel B. Kline, a professor of economics at George Mason University, perhaps some of us should...

In the May issue of Econ Journal Watch, Dr. Klein cited a recent Zogby International survey, which found that self-identified liberals do very poorly on questions of basic economics.]]></description>

The Keynesian worldview seems to have led to increasing stridency and dogmatism about economic stimulus, which has dominated the headlines for several months. There used to be a joke that you can teach a parrot economics—all it needs to say is “supply and demand.” Now it is even easier to teach a parrot the policy prescription to prevent a major recession: All it needs to say is “stimulus.”

Things have gotten so bad that no dissention can be tolerated.]]></description>

My wife was born and raised behind the iron curtain. Whereas, I may from time to time rant about the trend towards socialism as unprecedented or shocking, she merely views it as a return to the ¨normal¨ behavior of governments. When we first met I was a flag waving US Army Airborne Ranger celebrating our victory over communism. My conviction that a new era of freedom and democracy was upon us was so absolute that when my wife’s suspicion of all government rose to the surface, I would assume a pedantic tone and explain how she just had the misfortune of growing up under an oppressive regime that did not respect individual liberty or democracy.

My wife, being far wiser than I, would merely shake her head and say, “You can never really trust a government because governments attract the worst elements in society. Governments exist to protect those inside government”. I remember the disdain and pity I felt for such thinking as I arrogantly explained that in America the system was created to limit government. Government in America is designed to be weak. 

Imagine how silly I feel now.]]></description>

No one wants to believe that their government, or the people within it are intentionally trying to ruin their country. We, as Americans, inherently look for the good in people.

Rush has been saying from the get-go that Obama is intentionally destroying the economy and demonizing capitalism. Obama has been called a Socialist, a Marxist and a Communist. I believe the Democratic party does not represent the "nice Democrats next door" at all anymore. Good Democrats have allowed their party to be hijacked. The hijackers are the far (and in some cases not-so-far) left. They are hardcore Statists bent on an endgame utopia with Communism as the model.]]></description>

It won't be long until you start seeing bumper stickers, t-shirts, and protest signs saying simply Blow It Up.

This is a prediction, not a provocation, so fascisti prosecutors should look elsewhere for folks to persecute, not here.  This is in no way to advocate that someone should take it upon themselves to blow up the Ground Zero Mosque should it be built.

It is only to predict that the outrage over the Ground Zero Mosque is exploding to such an extent that soon, those so outraged will demand that the thing be physically destroyed.  Blown to smithereens.

This would require an extremely skilled team of demolition experts, of which I am not one.  It would require millions of dollars, which I do not have.  But there are such experts, and there are such millionaires, who would be motivated to take whatever action is necessary to prevent a Ground Zero Mosque from ever existing.]]></description>
