More  deficit spending is not the cure for our present financial problems.  It's the cause!   Economic recessions and depressions don't just happen.   They are government and banking industry created!    They are also easily curable.   The cure is to simply stop deficit spending.   Unfortunately, when that happens, there is a period of economic chaos and some people get hurt.   Corrections are inevitable!   The longer the corrections are delayed, the more painful the corrections will be.   This page  describes and explains, in simply language, what's going on in the economy right now -- June 2008.   

To bottom line this in one sentence:  The single most destructive cause of the world's financial problems can be boiled down to two words --  Deficit  Financing -- the lending of non-existent money, known as fiat money, ^**1  and the charging of interest on the money lent.   The federal government, the banks and the other financial institutions, and the wall street speculators are the source of the problem.  

George Bush & Company  ^**2   are telling us that expanding the problem (more deficit financing)  is the solution. ^**3     They can't really be that stupid.   The question, then, is:  Why are they intentionally destroying the American economy? ^**4 

 We have several factors that combined to produced the present financial crisis.   

    The Republican administrations excessive deficit financing threw huge amounts of money into the economy.   

    People had money that they didn't know what to do with.   This produced an excessive amount of speculation buying of real estate.  The attitude was:  "I'll buy now and next year I'll resell to someone else at a higher price."   This pushed real estate prices way above the property's intrinsic value.   

    The Wall Street speculators lent and borrowed money from each other with almost nothing to back up the loans.   Leverage of sixty to one was all to common.  

    Numerous, highly complicate and difficult-to-understand lending instruments and programs were produced.   Many people went along with loans about which they were largely ignorant.  

    Making real estate loans to unqualified buyers.   

    Lenders  making loans with balloon payments or loans with an increase in interest a years from the date of the initial loan.   

    Low or no down payments.   The loan to value ratio was as high as one hundred percent.  

    Lenders sold their loans into the money markets.

    The economy shifted from borrowing to produce goods and/or service to borrowing to lend to someone else at a higher interest rate.

   The above factors produced  highly inflated real estate prices,  estimated to be as much as sixty percent above real value.

The financial bubble has now burst and almost all of those holding highly leveraged loans are facing financial disaster.  One of the underlying problems is that this disaster was foreseeable.  It's also not a new phenomenon.  It has occurred several time before.   Several prominent and knowledgeable people sounded the alarm years ago.   Why did so may people turn a blind eye to a pending meltdown?   

Was it mob psychology, or a feeding frenzy, or unbridled fear expressed as greed.   Probably none of these are accurate.   Corporate executives must produce a profit in every quarterly report.   Others were "Cooking the Books,"  making unethical loans and showing a profit.   Honest executives had a choice; get on the phony-loan bandwagon or find another job.

.

Interest on Nothing:   

One of the greatest cons of all  time is lending someone something you don't have and charging them money for its use.   If you're a banker, you can loan non-existent money to your customers and charge them interest on the loan.   One of the ways this is done is called  "Fractional Reserve Lending."

Those who own the structures that control 
the federal government cannot steal the money, 
but they can, do, and are stealing  the value*** out of the money.  

Deficit Spending by the federal government and highly unethical lending and borrowing by the banks and the other financial institutions, and wild investment spree of the wall Street wheelers and dealers has dilutes the value of the dollar.     As the supply of money increases relative to the supply of tangible assets in the economy, (the supply of goods & services)  the value of the dollar decreases.   We see the results as increases in the prices for gas, food, and everything else.   

In other words, deficit spending secretly steals the money out of you wallet.    It's a scheme for the confiscating the wealth of the working class.   It does so, not by stealing the dollars, themselves, but by stealing the value out of the dollars.   Any asset held in the form of money, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, retirement funds,  and the like, all lose value.   The value doesn't simply disappear.   It's transferred into the pockets of  the super-wealthy.

http://www.Money-God-Money.info/inflation.html#55 ² 

***  Value is the purchasing power of the money.   Money is another word for goods and services.   In other words, those who control the federal government are stealing goods and services from the people.   That's why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Although hard to believe, here's a piece of truth you ought to know:  The Federal Reserve is one of the greatest, most-lucrative, longest-lasting financial swindle the world has ever seen.  And fiat money (make-believe money ² ) is at the core if this legalize crime!   Here's the essence of the scam:   The Federal Reserve Banks loan the government money and the government pays interest on the loan.   On the surface, that sounds simple and straight forward, but the swindle is in where the loan money actually comes from.

Where did these twelve privately owned banks get the trillions of dollars they have loaned to the U. S. government -- the trillions of dollars on which you and I are paying interest (in the form of gold) to these banks?   

The answer is:   P.F.A.  As some would say, plucked from air.   They didn't and they don't have trillions of dollars to loan.    They are charging you and me  real interest on make-believe money.   Billions of your real, hard-earned,  tax dollars are are being funneled into the coffers of these private banks to pay interest on an Alice-in-Wonderland, fairytale loan.   The money you are paying interest on is non-existent!   It's fake!   Its a fraud!  The Federal Reserve is sleaze and a flim-flam scam  disguised as a service to the people.   

If you listen to the popular media, they will say the primary purpose of the Federal Reserve is to control inflation.   That's true, but it's only another half truth.²   The Federal Reserve not only controls inflation, it causes it.   Deficit spending  (the spending of non-existent money)  and the interest charged on the loan of non-existent money are the primary causes of inflation.   The primary purpose of Federal Reserve is not public service,  it's  to tap the public treasury by charging interest on the loan of non-existent money to the federal government and to other banks.

Does traditional religion no longer serve you?   Do you see the present government as leading us into economic and environmental disaster?   Do you see sitting back, doing nothing, and waiting for God to rescue you  (The Rapture ²) as a rather foolhardy approach to problem solving.

**   concerned about the environmental destruction? 

**   concerned about the rapidly rising prices of gas, food, and everything else? 

Are you:

**   honest, fair, compassionate,

**   rational,  reasonable.

There are now millions of us who fit the above description.   If we work with and support each other, together we can create the world any way we choose it to be.    Collectively, we have incredible power because most of us have had some training regarding  the ways in which The Universe functions.   This gives us a huge advantage over those who run the existing political and economic systems.   Together, we can manifest the visions that have been previously ignored.   We can make major transformations.   

Our job is not to fix anything that already is.   It's not about making anybody wrong.   It's not about changing anything or anybody else.    

Our job is to re-create ourselves.   It's to determine who we choose to be, what we choose to experience, and then to simply to start creating it.   And our job is to support each other in the process.   In order to do that, creating Creating  The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure  is, by far, the best process yet proposed by anyone, anywhere.

We invite you to take a few minutes to examine The New Corporate World Foundation's   Win-Win Business Structure .   Here's a summary:   

Six Simple Steps That Will Change Your World     

.

  .

  The New Corporate World Foundation's   Win-Win Business Structure  is also a way to drastically reduce or eliminate corporate debt.

If you handled your personal finances the way corporations handle corporate debts, you'd either be stuck hopelessly in debt or a fool.  

If you  were servicing  a large debt, the money to pay the interest on the loan and to pay off the debt would come from a portion of your earnings.    Money would be diverted away from taking care of yourself and instead, used to pay your lenders.    Any person who owes money to someone else is part slave.   He (or she) becomes an indentured servant to the money lender.   He must devote a portion of his life to servicing the lenders demands for money.    There are no chains on his ankles, but he is clearly not free.   

Because the same principles apply to corporations when they borrow money, one of the fist steps in creating The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure  is to eliminate  unnecessary corporate debt. 

Most corporations borrow money and never pay off their debts.   These corporations have been turned into cash cows, ( money machines)  by the super-wealthy stock owners.    The lenders  don't want debtors (the corporations) to pay off their loans.    Why?   Because they (the  lenders) live off the labor and the skills of those who make the corporations profitable.   The super-wealthy lenders are like  private versions of the IRS.   They don't participate in production.    They simply demand a portion of the profits.   

The corporation's physical products and/or its  services have become by-products in a money machine.    Employees are treated as little more than disposable tool used for the production of money.   Their entire reason for being has become:  "To produce money for investors."   For most corporations, their purpose has become limited to feeding profits to the wealthy stockholders with utter disregard for their employees, their customers, and the environment.    

Whether the debtor is an individual or a  corporation is irrelevant.  The number of people on the debtors side of this equation is also irrelevant.   The same rule always applies: "Get our of debt as quickly as possible."   Why? because debt costs you money.   It costs you freedom.   The bigger the debt, the more it costs.   Unless you can borrow low and lend high, the only sensible answer is  "Get our of debt as quickly as possible."   The six simple, easy to implement steps suggested by The New Corporate World Foundation  offers a very effective way to drastically reduce (or completely eliminate) corporate debt.

What is God?   Before you can offer any meaningful answers to questions about God or make and useful statements or have a reasonably meaningful discussion about religion, you need to define what you mean when you say, "God."  Is The Ultimate Source of All that Is  an angry, fickle, vindictive,  superhuman being who live above the clouds that surround planet Earth?  What does the evidence tell you?

  http://www.Does-God-Exist.net ²  

Are You Inside or Outside of God?  The second major factor in discussing religion is to answer the question,  "Are you inside or outside of God?   In all of human history, there never has been and probably never will be another distinction as important as:  "Are you inside or outside of God?"  This belief, no matter which perspective one believes, is the underlying context which dominates and controls vast amounts of human behavior.

http://www.Truth-Seeker-Truth.info ²  

Beliefs not Facts:   The third major factor to consider in discussing religion is that the only thing we can say with certainty about "God,"  is that whatever it is, it has a profound affect upon us.   Beyond that, what can we say about God with provable certainty?  Nothing!   When someone speaks about God, they are referring to that unknown and unknowable Source of All  that transcends understanding.   Thus, they tell us absolutely nothing about what God actually is or isn't.    

Those who say, I know this or that about God because the Bible tells me so  are ignoring what the Bible actually says.   In three different passages, the Bible tells those who are willing to read it that humans do not and cannot know the nature and the works of whatever it is we call "God."  --   Ecclesiastes 11:5  --  1 Corinthians 2:14  -- Ecclesiastes 3:11.    Those who claim to know God are, instead, expressing what they believe about God.  (For example, Christians believe that God is a superhuman being who lives in the sky.)   Even atheists who believe that there is no such thing as a source or a creator are only expressing an opinion / belief.

What If . . .    What if everybody's truth is correct, but only within it's own context.   What if all truths are only part truths?    What if  some of the additional and previously-missing pieces of information were to be added to each truth?   How would that change the meaning of present-day religious beliefs?  

What if whatever it is that we call "God" is the ultimate mystery of life?  What if we really don't know what God is, or how He/She/It  functions.   What if life doesn't begin at conception, at birth, or at any other place?   What if the end of Earth-life is simply a change of form, and  whatever a human being really is  simply moves into a different dimension of reality?   What if there are dimensions where time and space, as we know them, don't exist?   What if the universe is filled with mysteries about which we are profoundly ignorant?   What if the origin of life and the consciousness behind that origin are unknown and unknowable?    

What if there actually is  a difference between reality and what we believe about reality?   What if we really don't know all those things we claim to know?   

And regardless of what you or I or anybody else believes about whatever it is we call "God," The Source of the Universe is whatever it is, it functions however it functions, and it remains the worlds greatest unsolved mystery.   So the next time you hear someone telling that they know something about God, particularly if they claim to know something  that you don't, simple smile, excuse your self, and leave as quickly as possible.   Reference:  http://www.Does-God-Exist.net/spiritual-awareness.html ²

In this time of deep economic misery, everybody is talking about how to cope with the financial problems and asking, "How can we treat the symptoms?"   But almost nobody is publicly asking,  "What is the cause?   How do we remove the cause?"   Edward R. Murrow,  where are you?   

http://www.New-Corporate-World.com/edward-r-murrow.html#18  ²  

Edward R. Murrow was the most prominent and well known journalist of his day.   In the early 1950's, the absurd anti-communist witch hunt of senator Joseph McCarthy was  spreading fear throughout the country.   The resultant "blacklisting" was destroying the live of thousands of innocent people.   In 1954, Mr. Murrow was the only man with courage enough to challenge and put an end to senseless destruction.   Today, 2008, "Resident" George Bush is causing destruction a thousand times greater ² than that of former Senator Joseph McCarty, and nobody is seriously challenging him.   

WHY NOT?    Edward R. Murrow,  where are you?  

Wouldn't it be nice if politicians  could  Speak The Truth  and still get elected?    Since they can't, we're going to speak it for them.  

This site will tell you  what the evidence points to as the most likely truth  on several highly controversial, political-hot-potato  issues.   We'll also tell you several truths about money that the con artists who run the world don't want you to know.   If we, as The Reasonables, collectively participate in the upcoming election, we can have a huge impact.

There are three critically Important concepts in getting elected to a political office  1)  Defining  the words  2)   Determining the playing field   3)  Responding Immediately to one's opponent.   A winning candidate has to be a master of these three campaign strategies.   If they aren't, the may as well go home, because they're guaranteed to lose.
