Ororeef @ 13:52 re The 1950’s were the best years for this country ! HAPPY DAYS !
Very good on that. The only part I can comment on is your “a sense of entitlement to someone else’s earned wealth”.
I take that one step bigger, the sense of one country’s entitlement to USA’s earned wealth. Because of that foreign greed, and American stupidity to buy imports, we now have more poor people locally with their hands out. INCLUDING corporations. Corporate welfare.
If they laid off all the unneeded gov’t employees and gov’t vendor jobs, put them all on welfare, we’d save money. All the towns counties around me are having trouble raising taxes and paying pensions and free healthcare insurance for retired people.
If this trend continues, they will have to lay off ALL gov’t employees, and use tax money just for the retired ones.
Mr Copper anybody from the 1950’s
understands what a Trump says and agrees ,they have a mentality thats different ! They dont feel entitled to something they didnt earn .I was born in 1938 and anybody from that era is gratefull for the end of WW2 and went on about their lives working and not expecting from Government.
Thats whats different, a sence of entitlement to someone else’s earned wealth ….It breeds dissatisfaction ,envy and a bad attitude ! The only cure for that is an attitude adjustment with a 2×4 across the back side ! Spoiled brats …..BTW I LIKED IKE the man that saved the world…
The 1950’s were the best years for this country ! HAPPY DAYS !
Re Newsday’s Editorial Trump’s Corrosive Effect
I sent the paper my opinion:
While reading the editorial, I kept finding statements that were incorrect and made no sense.
The first thing I would like to mention is, we should thankful for Trump. We should not be picking on Donald Trump, because the living standards have been falling since 1975. Its not Trump’s job to get involved in being a president.
If all the presidents and Congresses going back to and including president Nixon and Johnson, (JFK was a patriot outsider like Trump) if they did their jobs right, protecting the USA there would never be a Donald Trump. He is a result. As food for thought, I’ll copy paste parts of article and add comments. On second thought, I’ll just wrap this up.
Briefly:
USA won independence in 1776. After the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the USA gradually lost its independence. The act was created so USA could finance foreign wars. Special interests foreign influence Note soon after 1917 WWI.
Excessive money creation, or printing for WW I caused inflationary roaring 20s, led to the 1929 crash that led to the great depression and deflation to 1934. In 1934, Gold ownership was banned, and taken in by Banks at $20/oz.
Soon after the banks raised it to $34/oz a 70% devaluation to get prices up, and use the money for WW II starting in 1941. WW II did NOT get us out of the depression in the 1940s. It was the Gold confiscation of 1934 that ENABLED the war in the first place.
After the war in ’45 the banks adjusted currency values to encourage importing our needs so as to rebuild all of Europe and Japan etc. At USA expense.
Then came Korea, Vietnam, etc etc. By 1970 the money printing or inflation, for WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Moon landing and imports trade deficit caused USA to lose half its gold reserves, and the local administration Nixon, was force to stop allowing foreigners to take our Gold at $35/oz, when it was trading privately at $140/oz.
The so called 1970s inflation was wrong. In the 1970s the fed was REMOVING money supply with high interest rates up to 21% by ’81.
So, after 1970, instead of exporting away gold at $35, the system proceeded to take away our industries. Globalization was really global socialism. Take from wealthy USA and give our consumer dollars away to other nations instead of Gold.
The only really good years for the USA was 1945 to 1975. That’s all we got, only 30 good years, but we deserved it. From 1975 to 2008 that entire period had a net CORROSIVE effect on the entire USA living standards.
I predicted during the so called great recession in 2009 that the USA would now start healing getting better, and that trend already started before Trump.

Sounds like one of my brothers who was into horses too. I remember covering his paper route once when he had asthma as a kid and could have some life threatening attacks. I took over for him cuz he was a go getter and feared he would go anyway and maybe die. It was winter pouring rain on top of it. Then it started to flood. Get stuck on the bike and walk through it. Had to worry about strange men watching me in slow moving flooded streets in some areas too that early and no one out yet. I though never again I hope. Lol He went from that to working at the stables taking care of horses at about 14-15 and from there to raising Arabs and breaking horses on the side. In those days you could afford ” barley” to do that. Now you can’t plus so many taking those jobs and kid labor rules. One of my other brothers at only 12 got a job on a farm for awhile till my parents found out. I could care for babies at 11 to earn money. Don’t think kids can do that these days.
Scruffy @ 11:24 What a great post…..thanks for the memories!!
I did all those things and what great memories I have because of it. I also started my day at 2:30 AM delivering news papers, rode a bike 28 miles (14 miles each way) through Los Angeles twice daily to care for and feed my horse that I bought with my paper route money, and still had time and energy to run cross country after school. None of it was special and most of my friends did similar things with never a serious mishap.
Those were the days my friend. Too bad they had to end!!
Scruffy – I was born around the middle of that era
Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
…as long as you didn’t try to spit out of the back ! During a long trip back from the farm , I hocked up a large goober and launched it . To my horror , the thing rotated and twisted about a foot in front of my face for a few seconds , then Splat! , hit me square in the eye . Learned more about vortices and aerodynamics in those few seconds , than in a post grad class in statistical theories of compressible and incompressible flows in fluid dynamics .
US UN Dollar Progressing Nicely Lower
Take notice chart below of the Dec 3rd DROP. Not a natural market force. That was my signal (along some with others) that TPTB finally purposely decided to re-stimulate the US economy.
Note also big bar down on Feb 3rd. That had to be the Fed punishing dollar long traders on the COMEX. They did it a few more times in march April and June. The big up-spike in June was Brexit day, to drop the British Pound which unwittingly naturally, shoved the dollar up for one month, against the lower dollar plan.

This dollar chart below, shows when TPTB decided to put the US economic recovery on hold, by raising the dollar in July 2014. TPTB can’t stimulate all countries at the same time. Every time they stimulate USA, it hurts all others. Every time they stimulate others with higher dollar it hurts USA. It’s been two years now with a too high dollar.
Anybody that believes that dollar rally in June 2014 was a NATURAL market force in action?? Are gullible. No common sense. Not street wise. Not cynical.
LEXVF up 17 %
Rockin & Rollin !
Watch CLNE Nat Gas
Take note on chart that big volume day Aug 10th. I’ve often seen turn around or rotation, up and or down, soon after a big volume day bar.
When you need that extra energy…



And Farmboy thinks I’m nuts for flying over in a helicopter! Some of these guys wear fire suits and grab hot samples with a 10-foot pole from the molten furnace.
Gold Train

Illinois Central inspired colors on the Iowa Pacific “Hoosier State” remind us of the old “City of New Orleans”. This train is a Chicago commuter headed for Indianapolis.

Wanka poll numbers
I can guess two things. One it’s rigged to discourage Trump votes or encourage Hillary voters. The other they are times when the libs are out or on MSM and hardly anyone one but the Libs are watching it and vote. The rest won’t even give them rating time. I know a lot of Trump voters staying quiet because they don’t want them to know. Not that they feel intimidated they are just not participating or wanting to help the system in anyways conspire lol
A Trump voter asked me to participate in one to see real numbers, after voting it showed the results. It was similar but showed four people. Two independents. Trump was way up and the rest were way down in the low numbers.
ever wonder about the poll numbers on msm? now here is something realistic!
