"When you have "The Truth", then anybody who opposes you is either ignorant or evil. You rule over the ignorant and you kill or lock up the evil. Then you can make the world run according to your perfect "Truth".... On the Left and the Right. Same thing" - Orson Scott Card

"Service Industries Expand by most since 2006"
"Investors Should Fear "Mindless" U.S. Spending, Gross Says"
If it wasn't for the "Mindless" U.S. spending, there would be no expansion of service industries, or any other industry. The American economy (not the "corporate economy"... over half of the U.S. S&P 500's business is off shore... not so for Main Street) is extremely dependent upon U.S. deficit spending, which in turn is extremely dependent on the International Bond Market, which is the MIRROR IMAGE of the U.S. trade deficit, which is, what? 70% to 80% tied to Oil imports?
This is a very complex set of permutations, the margin of error in the interaction between each of these being quite large... making the future predicting business very challenging.
Still, I think that one of the ultimate outcomes of "Mindless" spending is much higher Oil prices, which in turn will "Truth Out" the amount of excess production OPEC has - or has not.

This is one of the more important articles you will read this year.
The Constitutionalists have the momentum at the moment. Can they keep it? Will they be faithful to it? Let us hope, let us pray, and let us do everything we can to support their efforts.

This morning's front-page-news-"plant" on over treating in healthcare...
What is somewhat more disconcerting than the obvious... is the attempt to manipulate the population prior to a massive policy response. Not that each and every one of these studies are not accurate; I suspect they are. However, one can see the slippery slope of manipulation being used to move some very disturbing policies forward.
If you are in healthcare, or know somebody who is, forward them these posts and my links... and take it from somebody who spent over 20 years in the financial services industry with no litigation or regulatory derogatories despite those years being an era of never ending witch hunts: It pays to stay WAY out of the grey area.
