With the current rate of inflation of 6 %, the dollar will lose its purchasing power by 85% in 30 years. Thats why its a good idea for the Americans to spend rather than to invest and even if they want   more...to invest, gold is a good investment opportunity  less

It is both Republicans and Democrats who voted to authorize this president to go to war, who voted for the Patriot act, who passed the Kyl/Lieberman bill, who passed HR 1955, etc...

Ron Paul

A recent move to raise the national minimum wage rate by 70 cents, to $6.55 an hour, is great news from some, but not for everyone. 26 states will see an increase, as their minimum wage levels were below   more...the newly announced national mark. In the second minimum wage increase in as many years, and another set for $7.25 in July of next year, it doesn’t actually help everyone. Initially, a wage increase is welcomed by those working below the minimum rate with bills to pay. As the national Unemployment Rate has risen to 5.5%, those working need the aid to help counter rising fuel and food prices. Still, many feel the increase is not enough in comparison to the inflated cost of living. Minimum wage workers are still forced to work longer days and more hours to make ends meet. Others feel the wage increase will be passed on to the rest of the consuming public. A major concern is a potential scenario where a raise in wages can in turn cause a drop in employment. Cutbacks can force employers to cut production and eliminate salaries. http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com  less

Given the current state of the economy, many wonder if their employer will be able give them a raise next year.

To answer their question, yes. The only problem, given a current 5% rate of inflation…it   more...might not be enough.

According to a study conducted by Watson Wyatt Worldwide, 33% of the companies they surveyed still plan on allocating merit increases in 2009.

The report shows that rank-and-file workers can look forward to base pay increases of 3.5% next year (the same amount given this year).

The company also concluded that high performers will be rewarded for their hard work at a rate of 4.4%

So while many companies are being forced to their work force, restructure, and shrink expenses, those still working can breath a sigh of relief. Next year, they should get a raise.

How high will this bull market in "real money" and commodities drive gold prices over the next 5 to 15 years? Get ready to be shocked!

Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it ... all » is being created. It is an entertaining   more...way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.

Wie entsteht überhaupt Geld? Wissen sie es? Paul Grignons eindrucksvoller Film erklärt in anschaulicher Weise, warum alle Welt soviele Schulden hat -- und was man dagegen tun könnte! Gerade mal so lange wie eine Schulstunde, erklärt dieser Film mehr über unsere Welt, als uns in Jahren des Schulbank Drückens jemals gezeigt wurde.

Wenn auch sie tagtäglich dem lieben Geld nachjagen, wird die verblüffende Erkenntnis der wahren Natur ihrer Beute sie mit Sicherheit interessieren! Und wenn nicht, gibts natürlich das Geld zurück..  less

A Link TV special: Oil expert Richard Heinberg explains the reasoning

Yes, this is true. If oil is traded in Euros, the Americans will pay roughly
twice as much for oil than now. At the present, oil is traded in dollars.
Hence we have the term petro dollars. At the way Bush behaved in the
world arena, a lot of OPEC countries are moving towards the Euro and
dumping the dollar.
And if America is forced to buy oil in Euro's someday, it would mean
that gasoline would be twice as exspensive as it is now!  less
