Come To Me With Solutions

Jump to Comments

As I read this article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/92469-government-statistics-perfecting-the-art-of-mass-deception , I couldn’t contain that question of questions: SO WHAT?  I mean, yes, retail investors are spoon fed lies all of the time. That’s nothing new. And journalists tell us about it all of the time. That’s nothing new either. I’m looking for something new - SOLUTIONS!!!  Here is my response to the article:

1. As The Sage mentioned, the equities “benchmarks” are not pure averages, but are actively managed to outperform the majority (and, where possible, veil unfavorable realities).

2. The masses (according to the Distribution of Wealth in America) do not have much money, so the above deceit is simple propaganda. As money is heavily worshipped in this country, the line from Marx “religion is the opiate of the masses,” seems appropriate.

3. A good journalist doesn’t just talk about problems; he/she offers potential solutions. All of this rehashed government trash talk is a waste of time due to the absence of sound guidance. Sad thing is, not even the readers here are offering solutions. Maybe I’m in the wrong place.

4. For me, controlling the risk exposure to consumer goods is as simple as learning to keep a garden. In this nation of bread and circuses, the simple labors that avail one of a comprehensive independence are still readily available.

    SOLUTION: Abolish the US Dollar and let this nation be free of debt. We will need to rebuild from the back yard garden all the way to the top. or the other way around. Cut of the head and 10 more grow in its place. Destroy the root and eliminate the weed.

    Thomas Jefferson said something to this affect: "When the average citizen is finally motivated to do his civic duty; If it be motive out of fear; the nation will perish, for the time to act out of duty and love of country has passed."

    What is motivating people in this country? Fear or love of country...

    I'm with you DD, the dollar is a joke. Also, I like the idea of gardens at the top. Does the White House have a vegetable garden? I'll bet that it did when real men were in office. Let's find out which president was the first to tax our nation and neglect his duties by refusing to self-support his appetite.
