“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is my weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.

Hello, my friend (sorry, too much news lately)!

This has been an unbelievable week for yours truly. Not only did my Fighting Phils knock ‘em out of the park on Wednesday, but so did my man Obama! I’m getting so tired of the fear-mongering that has gone on for way too long (eight years to be exact) and I for one think we really need to start focusing on getting our ailing economy out of the garbage! Let’s drop the Democrat, Republican, Liberal, and Conservative titles they label us with and work together to really change things. I personally think we should kick out all the idiots up on the hill who are trying to divide us! We the people, collectively, can do this on November 4th …

Ok, enough of my craziness, here goes my weekly reviews: Continued

“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is my weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.

Yea, we had a lot going on this week, didn’t we?

First you had the second presidential debate, which Obama won hands down (due to the fact that McCain’s a living idiot who thinks that spreading fear is going to help him replace the king of it — “good” old GWB). Then you had my Phillies advance to the NLCS against the L.A. Dodgers (which, by the way, is helping me make it through the Eagles lost against the Redskins last weekend). And as for Palin … Ok, we’ll stop laughing now (please lady, leave with your dignity — you bit off more than you can chew)!

Before I head out for a wild weekend of baseball, football, hockey and beer, I’ll leave you with the best blog articles that I could muster up: Continued

The big Iraq Mistake (“Uh, we thought they had WMDs.” Yea right!) has turned this nation’s pockets inside out! As the fifth anniversary of this huge lie has passed, know that it has taken over a $3 trillion dollar toll on our unstable economy.

This idiot, who burns everything he touches, and his cronies tried to sell us on a cheap war (since when is any war cheap?). Then they cut taxes on the rich even though they ran through the Clinton Era surplus. Guess what happened after this? They further funded it through borrowing from other countries (who don’t have our best interests at heart; believe that). The results of this on our economy: another $1 trillion added to the huge national debt.

Now, think about what else this money could’ve helped, if we weren’t fed that red-meat republican bu#$%@it. We could have helped our desperately poor citizens; we could have helped other allied countries who now hate us because of this big lie (freedom fries ring a bell?). Literacy rates are another thing we could have strived to increase — imagine what kind of boost that would have been to our economy. “Sorry, we can’t afford to fix that right now,” the politicians now have to confess!

Whew … busy week. Not only for me, but also for this country!

I’ve been trying to make sense of all this political campaigning that is only a couple words and grammar changes away from truly sounding like the Divine Comedy (all fire and brimstone-like)!

Give us a break! This country has seen its share of ups and downs, but one thing is certain: we always land back on our feet. Always. I’m actually kind of mad that the Republican Party is still trying these scare-the-crap-out-of-you tactics (since they worked so well in 2004) with the single goal of undermining our intelligence. My fellow Americans, we are not going to hell in a hand basket, and “No” we are not going to suffer another Great Depression (there is Federal protection in place now) so whichever way you decide to vote this election, do it with you own logic (not the hyped-up-for-ratings media’s).

I found a few informative (yet, somewhat quirky) articles for you to ponder on. I hope they help you determine which candidate is better suited to handle not only your own finances, but also the country’s at large: Continued

Resisting the sales pitch is an important part of everyday financial survival. I should know, as I have done the worst kind of sales for a living: door-to-door (which is almost impossible to do, since it’s so easy to slam a door in someone’s [my] face)! It was the worst job I ever had, and I quickly found out that the only people who would buy from me were broke asses. These people always asked if I took credit. I had to say “yes” (if I wanted to make any money) and I also had to sit down with them and fill out an hour’s worth of paperwork. This job was horrible!

There’s a famous saying amongst salesmen: the easiest customers are the ones who have been destroyed by other salesmen before you got there. The debt-ridden always are happy to quickly get even further into debt. “Why not,” they say, “it’s like our nation’s second motto: We the people don’t even hesitate a second to increase our debts!” The old media used to care about this kind of devastation, but now it seems to go largely unnoticed (they have since turned into soft-sells).
