This morning, I told a dear friend of mine my opinion on the financial "mess". |
|
It is too FUBAR to be fixed.
The money does not exist.
"Creating" the money out of thin air creates only another nightmare.
Call me a gloom and doomer.
The whole thing has to collapse before it can be rebuilt.
We're fucked.

1. You might go to Alaska...I hear they have a secessionist movement there |
|
As soon as the net tax dollars go out rather than in as earmarks, Alaska's membership in the Union will be history.

2. Quick question from someone economically stupid.. |
|
How will this affect loans and grants for college students? One of my biggest fears is not being able to finish my degree (still have 2 more years of undergrad to go).

3. Loans will be harder to get and at a higher interest rate when they can be found. |
|
Grants will be dim memories of the good old days.
