Perfect Storm: Part 2: Living for the “Citi”

    I could not have timed it better, it seems. I wrote yesterday about the two reasons why we are on the road to economic disaster, and just in time to prove my point… The Government steps in and rescues the second biggest bank in the country. (after Bank of America) by giving them […]

Perfect Storm, Part One

Perfect Storm Part One   If you are wondering if anyone is going to be able to fix this economy, you are in good company, because at this point any and all bets are off! I wonder myself if it really can be fixed. I know that it can be “tinkered” with, so it can […]
