This statement is applying, for the legislation, which is being enacted, before the SSA. This statement is applying, for the legislation, which is being enacted, after the SSA.&lt;BR&gt;Boomers, who are hurting, as they are experiencing, equities based losses, are, correctly, directing, their focus toward SSA, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;Boomers should forget about securing, their retirements via nonsensical programs: IRAs Keoghs and 401(k)s.&lt;BR&gt;Boomers are not needing, such to concern themselves, with the machinations, of the equities markets managers.&lt;BR&gt;The needed legislations, which are being necessary, such to bring these assorted rascals into compliance, need not be of concern, for individuals, who are absorbing the reality of the situation.&lt;BR&gt;This reality is: you are not becoming secure, via investments, while individuals, who are motivated, by personal profits, are managing, the investments.&lt;BR&gt;Boomers, at this time, are, correctly, directing, their attentions, toward the passage of legislations, which are mandating, employer funded, defined benefit, retirement coverage and disability coverage.&lt;BR&gt; Small business can not afford? Then small business can hit the road.&lt;BR&gt;Private, employer funded, pensions are not enough.&lt;NR&gt;More important; boomers are pressing, for the legislations, which is insuring, the survival, of the SSA. The SSA is being empowered,  such that disability pensions, child and widow pensions and retirement pensions are providing, an amount of income, which is assuring, a pension amount, which is above the USA poverty level.&lt;BR&gt;In addition, legislation, which is mandating, increased, withholding, for Medicare is being necessary, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;Please, do view, the &lt;B&gt;SSA Trustees Report&lt;/B&gt;, which is being revealed, via the hyperlink, which is displayed, in the right hand column, on this page.&lt;BR&gt;The increased SSA withholding argument: withholding increases, for SSA and Medicare, which, in total, our presenting, as a 200 % increase, which is applicable, for the amounts being withheld, are being offset, in part, by the elimination, of the employees' 401(k) contributions&lt;BR&gt;The employers' 401(K) contributions, if present, are being directed toward the employers’ SSA contributions.&lt;BR&gt;Withholding percentages increases, are not sufficient.&lt;BR&gt;The amount, of base wages, which is subject, for SSA and Medicare withholdings, are being increased.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously, during 2008, &lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is expressing, these opinions:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;DJIA is reaching, 7000&lt;BR&gt;S&amp;P 500 is reaching, 700&lt;BR&gt;NASDAQ is reaching, 1200&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is expecting, these levels are being attained, during, December 2008.&lt;BR&gt;These downward moves are occurring, during the, immediately previous, weeks.&lt;BR&gt;The longer, than is expected, passage of time, is resulting, with the Dow average and the Standard and Poor’s average moving, below 7000 and 700, respectively.&lt;BR&gt;The NASDAQ is not, as of, March 17, 2009, attaining, the 1200 level, which is being predicted, previously, by &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;Now, during March 2009; some sources are predicating: the equities markets averages are continuing, such to decline.&lt;BR&gt;These same sources are expressing, the opinion: upward movements, of the averages, during, the past week, are a temporary phenomenon.&lt;BR&gt;This upward movement is being described, as a "Bear Market Bounce," among other descriptions. Said descriptions are forthcoming, from  the "experts." LOL&lt;BR&gt;The argument for continuing, equities markets, declines: the averages are moving, in a linear pattern, as they are rising, from the levels, which are present, during, 1992 - 1993. There is not occurring, a retrench, of the averages, such to test the bottom, of the ranges, during, this long upward march. The DJIA is being situated, at the 3000 level, during this specified, earlier time period.&lt;BR&gt;Again, and as always, &lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is holding, the opinion: equities markets, as same are being incarnate, at this time, within the USA, are not an environment, which is hospitable, for the, average, "eighty-percents" member, USA citizen.&lt;BR&gt;The equities markets are controlled, by the "twenty-percents." The equities markets are benefitting, over time, only, the "twenty-percents."&lt;BR&gt;"Twenty-percents" are, of course, the twenty percent of the USA population, which is controlling, eighty percent, of the USA wealth.&lt;BR&gt;You are assured; these "twenty-percents" connivers are enjoying, the accumulation, of more profits, as the equities markets are continuing, such to decline, through fits and starts. The "twenty-percents" are, once again, benefitting, as the equities markets are, at some time, rising, through fits and starts.&lt;BR&gt;Remember, as just stated, the "twenty-percents" not only participate, in the equities markets; the “twenty-percents” control the equities markets.&lt;BR&gt;Do not waste your time! Do not provide, these the "twenty-percents" thieves, the opportunity, such to deystroy, your wellbeing!&lt;BR&gt;Place you money with a known entity, the SSA, which is proven, completly feasible, over time. The SSA does flourish and grow, as the USA citizens continue, their support!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-6216328599267726059?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/6216328599267726059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=6216328599267726059&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/6216328599267726059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/6216328599267726059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2009/08/social-security-still-best-way-to-go.html' title='Social Security: Still The Best Way To Go!'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616711441582830422.post-2759841200804895863</id><published>2009-08-23T11:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T11:33:55.822-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Toxic Assets: Bonanza For The "Twenty-Percents"</title><content type='html'>&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Once again,&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is expressing, the opinion: the taxpayers' monies are not being used correctly, as these funds are being directed, toward the chore of relieving, greedy banks, of the banks’ “toxic assets.”&lt;BR&gt;In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a private corporation, not a government agency, are refraining, from involvement, in this exercise.&lt;BR&gt;Most certainly; the taxpayers are not, correctly, being burdened, with another, newly created, government bureaucracy, which is being identified: the Public-Private Investment Program.&lt;BR&gt;Utilization, of the Public-Private Investment Program, as the methodology, which is in place, while the "toxic assets." are being divested, is resulting, with the assets being owned, by wealthy individuals, as an example, the "twenty-percents,” wall street investment vehicles; mega wealth foreign interests.&lt;BR&gt;The "toxic assets” are being supported, by residential real estate. The "toxic assets" are, and have been, just so much nonesense paper. Said paper is the vehicle, which are prompting, the investmens of billions, as the dishonest; as the foolish; as the greedy are entering, the que.&lt;BR&gt;These assorted suspects are acquiring, the "toxic assets," while intending, such to offer for sale the underlying properties.&lt;BR&gt;Obviously, these supporting, real properties' eventual, sales prices are being increased, as the greedy attempt a “quick killing.”.&lt;BR&gt;These, proposed, transfers, between the banks and investors, are occurring, as a best case result.&lt;BR&gt;The Public-Private Investment Program is, possibly, failing, as the chosen methodology.&lt;BR&gt;Better decisions: do not create; do not fund; do not operate; the Public-Private Investment Program.&lt;BR&gt;The banks' liquidating, "toxic assets," without assistance is, the best solution; the easiest solution, the most likely to be successful solution.&lt;BR&gt;The "toxic assets" are being carried, on the banks books, as having, $1 Trillion, or more, as their valuations.&lt;BR&gt;These valuations are reflecting, the values, which are being created, via greed, mismanagement and real estate buyers stupidity.&lt;BR&gt;Value the underlying,  real estate, properties, at their intrinsic values.&lt;BR&gt;Next, with the lowered, real estate properties, valuations in place; mark the "toxic assets' to the true market value.&lt;BR&gt; Do not maintain the assets inflated values, which are reflecting, a bygone real estate market.&lt;BR&gt;Such reductions, in the assets asking prices, are promoting, expeditious ownership changes.&lt;BR&gt;The residential real estate market is being revalued, with correct values in existence, as a bonus.&lt;BR&gt;Yes, the offending banks are suffering, a loss.&lt;BR&gt;Yes, current owners, of real estate properties, are enduring, the revaluation process, as it is affecting, their ownership stakes.&lt;BR&gt;The situation conclusion, wherein the banks and residential real estate owners are suffering, as the real estate market is being adjusted, is the lesser, of two evils.&lt;BR&gt;The, alternate, situation conclusion is witnessing, the taxpayers suffering, the loss.&lt;BR&gt;Consider,  if the Public-Private Investment Program is the vehicle, which is being implemented; there is not a guarantee, such that prices are not being reduced, dramatically.&lt;BR&gt;The pre-enactment hype, which is stating, market values are being maintained, through the liquidations, via the Public-Private Investment Program’s implementation, is, possibly, incorrect.&lt;BR&gt;With devaluation occurring, as the Public-Private Investment Program is operating; the taxpayers are, likely, NOT being repaid.&lt;BR&gt;The taxpayers are being straddled, with a larger national debt, as the Public-Private Investment Program investments are not being returned, for the taxpayers.&lt;BR&gt;Why should the risk be assumed, by the taxpayers?

Law enforcement employees are aware; their deaths are imminent, at all times. LE members are participating, in their chosen profession.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. LE members, who are being killed, each year, in the USA are possessing, a small census. The LE members, who are being killed, &lt;A HREF="http://www.odmp.org/year.php?year=2008&amp;Submit=Go" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;during 2008 is: 134.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;More than &lt;A HREF="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos160.htm#outlook" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;800,000 sworn officers are employed - 2006&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. The employment census continues, such to increase! Hey, the USA does not need more LE employees! Sudden, violent death, while on the job, is NOT a problem, among the LE ranks&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;3.We are remembering; many are employed, in LE, because the individuals are failing, such to obtain, sufficiently remunerative employment elsewhere.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;4. Often, LE employees are more interested:&lt;BR&gt;A. Maintaining, their four to five thousand a month salaries.&lt;BR&gt;B. Riding in the Crown Vics&lt;BR&gt;C. Strut about in the uniforms. LE employees are common people&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These above specified priorities are taking precedent, before the LE employees are determining, what is right and what is wrong, as they are investigating, situations.&lt;BR&gt;Indeed, LE employees, often, are moving, against the weakest participant, in a situation.&lt;BR&gt;The LE employees moving, against, an  individual so identified, is providing, the most hours of work.&lt;BR&gt;Hours of work are, hopefully, justifying, a bloated existence.&lt;BR&gt;Far too many states are being saddled, with multiple LE departments, each of which, is representing, only, a few thousand individuals.&lt;BR&gt;Immediate to one, of these ridiculous departments, is another ridiculous department.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;5.Mental health professionals, who are speaking, honestly and openly, are revealing: the personality profiles, which are being attached, for LE employees are as are the personality profiles, which are being attached for criminals. The, two groups' profiles are as two peas in a pod!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;6. The Supreme Court, via the application, of combined wisdom, does determine: LE members are permitted, such to lie, while LE members ares speaking, with suspects. LE does lie. LE does it all: Big Boldface, Little White, Innuendo and Omission.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;7. Regarding, the donation of monies, into memorial funds, which are, ostensibly, benefitting, the survivors, of LE employees, who are dead in the line of duty: do not contribute.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Many USA citizens are experiencing, the loss of a parent. These losses are arriving, as the citizens are young children. Children, so affected, are not benefitting, from memorial funds. LE employees' surviving children are not being entitled, for something, which is not being available for other, USA children.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The, recent carnage is being responsible; as the questions, which are being attached, for the Second Amendment, are being spoken, once again.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; does hold, the opinions:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. The Second Amendment is too brief. The amendment, is, correctly, saying, more, as to the powers, which are remaining, with the states. Specifically, as the, day to day, firearms possessions, by individual citizens, are demonstrating, need for regulations; do the states retain the empowerments, which are necessary, as the new rules are being implemented? If so, are said regulations being enforce during time periods, wherein the USA is not enduring, attack, within the homeland. Do the states' regulations endure suspension, during times of enemy attack? Or, do the States not retain, any powers, such to regulate, via legislation, the, day to day, firearms possessions, by individual citizens?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B. The Second Amendment does state, in &lt;B&gt;TBBN's&lt;/B&gt; opinion: the citizenry, in total, are not, at any time and for any reason, being arbitrarily and completely denied the right to possess firearms. Said firearms are being categorized, via the amendment, as being necessary for defense, of self and country, during attacks, from USA enemies.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C. The Second Amendment is reflecting, the, nation’s founders’ thoughts contexts, which are existing, as the amendment is being created. These thoughts contexts are being developed, via assessment, of the USA environment, which does exist, at the time.&lt;BR&gt;Further, the Second Amendment is not incorporating, language, which is anticipating, the, possibility, these thoughts contexts are evolving and changing, with the passage of time.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The question, which we are facing, at this time, 2009: should changing thoughts contexts, if same are in existence, be applied, toward the Second Amendment&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-4142955213207719272?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/4142955213207719272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=4142955213207719272&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/4142955213207719272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/4142955213207719272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2009/08/gun-control-emotions-influenced.html' title='Gun Control: Emotions Influenced Responses Not Needed!'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616711441582830422.post-3123273194354278626</id><published>2009-08-23T11:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T11:22:35.917-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Your House Is Your Wealth?

More important, the new, repayment plan is cheating, the USA citizens. In their capacities as taxpayers, citizens are investing, money into individuals’ educations, without the expectation, of full payback. This is ridiculous!&lt;BR&gt;Playing, the Devil's advocate; &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is suggesting, with the concentrations of wealth and income, which are existing, within the USA: the individuals most likely to make use of a quality, college level, education are forthcoming, from families not needing, the assistance, which is being provided, via the federal government's loan programs.&lt;BR&gt;Sad, however, true; the children, of the rich, are the individuals most likely, such to benefit, from college level material, which is not being diluted.&lt;BR&gt;The rich people, aka the "twenty-percents," are devoid of morals and principles, however, they are, frequently, possessing, the mental capacities, which are necessary,  for assimilation, as undiluted, college level material is being offered.&lt;BR&gt;Much better, the money, which is being used, such to fund loans, for college educations, is being redirected. This redirection is funding, the revisions, which are necessary, such to make the secondary education, curriculum more amenable, for the needs of the masses. .&lt;BR&gt;The, secondary level, curriculums are, correctly, being revised, such to provide more vocational training.&lt;BR&gt; An individual does not need, such be a college graduate, as the individual is seeking employment as an admistrative assistant!&lt;BR&gt;In addition, the "twenty-percents," as they present, as owners and managers of large corporations, are being motivated, via federal  tax penalties, such to provide, more, on the job, training programs, for the masses. .&lt;BR&gt;Again, an on the job training program is adequate, as an individual is preparing, for employment as a Mc Donald's manager or a Wal-Mart manager..&lt;BR&gt;With the elimination of college education subjects, such as "broadcasting" and "child care," the, overpaid, and underworked, college faculty members are being released, for gainful employment.&lt;BR&gt;Boomers are, correctly, encouraging, their respective elected representatives; vote to eliminate the funding, for the federal government's college loans programs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-514277615826243095?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/514277615826243095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=514277615826243095&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/514277615826243095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/514277615826243095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2009/08/us-education-reality-check.html' title='U.S. Education: Reality Check'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616711441582830422.post-3634946386365122117</id><published>2009-08-23T11:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T11:15:36.370-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Car Dealers: Time And Place Are Gone</title><content type='html'>&lt;P ALGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;First, Bama Boy and his gang seize, a, little used, obscure code section, which is situated, within the U.

This revival is in response, for the hue and cry, which is forthcoming, from greedy, selfish and silly auto dealers, which fester, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;These, specific dealers are not wanted, as business partners, by the, newly incarnated, versions, of General Motors and Chrysler.&lt;BR&gt;The two wrongs make a right axiom is being advanced, via an amendment, which is included, in the Financial Services spending bill, &lt;A HREF="http://www.gop.gov/bill/111/1/hr3170" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;H.R. 3170&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;This amendment is being fostered, via the efforts of  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://latourette.house.gov/NewsRoom.aspx?FormMode=Detail&amp;ID=144Rep" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Steven C.

These defaults are presenting, after the mortgage is being adjusted.&lt;BR&gt;The sources are revealing; the default rate is increasing, as time is passing.&lt;BR&gt;The categories, of the revised loans, are not being revealed, by the sources. Perhaps, they are comprised, of sub-prime loans? Perhaps, the defaults are consisting, of a mixture; sub prime and more conventional, loans. The more conventional, loans are, perhaps, being included, as borrowers incomes are being reduced or eliminated.&lt;BR&gt;As the financial malaise is continuing, such to afflict the USA economy; efforts are being directed toward stemming, the tide.&lt;BR&gt;Efforts, which are determining, the causes, of the, residential mortgage, industry failures, are not presenting.&lt;BR&gt;Once again, &lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is holding the opinion; the, existing, residential real estate available, for sale within the USA, is overpriced. This distortion is afflicting the entire market. Of course, some markets, which are being situated, within desireable, growing, USA areas, are more inflated, than are mundane markets.&lt;BR&gt;So, incorrect valuations are the major contributing, factors, as the, residential real estate, markets are enduring, turmoil. &lt;BR&gt;Are there other factors being involved? &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; does state; the obscene concentration, of wealth, within the USA, is a contributing factor.&lt;BR&gt;We are remembering, eighty percent, of the USA wealth, is being controlled, by twenty percent, of the USA population. In addition, the, top ten, percent, of income recipients, are controlling, more than fifty percent, of the annual income.&lt;BR&gt;These greedy individuals are, frequently, being found, within the financial, insurance and real estate industries.&lt;BR&gt;These people are, frequently, dishonest, intelligent, manipulative, street smart and well connected.&lt;BR&gt;Is it possible, the "twenty-percents," identified within these aforementioned industries, are the cause and the effect?&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, these individuals while plying their greedy ways, are creating, the environment, wherein the need is arising, for the creation, of sub prime borrowers.&lt;BR&gt;After creating, this, sub prime friendly, environment; the "twenty-percents" are  initiating and fostering the development, of the sub prime, residential real estate, mortgage industry.&lt;BR&gt;The question: are the "twenty-percents" aware, the sub prime loan, industry is doomed for failure, as they are founding, the sub prime loan industry?&lt;BR&gt;Previously, &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is suggesting; the implementation of a "living wage," via federal government legislation. A "minimum wage" is arbitrary, mired in political considerations and not adequate for the task. Said task is providing, each worker, with a "living wage," which is being determined, by a real world based, formula. This formula is using the ENTIRE Consumer Price Index's content, as the formula’s input variables are being determined. &lt;BR&gt;Also, additional federal legislation is needed. This additional legislation is mandating, a maximum, annual, dollar amount, which is being derived, from wages. This amount is being applied, individually, for each and every wage earner; their respective opinions are not of consequence.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; does hold the opinion; a leveling, of the wages playing field is inducing, the deflation, which is needed, as residential real estate prices are being aligned with the new, equalitarian, reality. Said reality, as applied, for the USA, is being needed, for a very long time.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Finger pointing is just beginning.&lt;BR&gt;The USA economy is being reshaped, by adjustments, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;What are the causes, of these adjustments? Greed? Incompetence? Lack of awareness?&lt;BR&gt;Maybe, some of each?&lt;BR&gt;An insightful opinion is being provided, via this hyperlink:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.angelnexus.com/o/web/10056" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Architects Of Destruction&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Today, November 23, 2998, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is, supposedly, admitting, his underestimating; the impact, upon the economy, which is resulting, as the sub-prime debacle is being revealed.&lt;BR&gt;This quote is being attributed, toward Mr. Bernanke. “The causal relationship between the housing problem and the broad financial system was very complex and difficult to predict.”&lt;BR&gt;Oh! Really?&lt;BR&gt;House purchase is, frequently, the largest purchase, which is being completed, by a USA consumer.&lt;BR&gt;The relationship, which is existing, between the USA economy and the, real property financing, industry is not difficult to predict. This relationship is not complex.&lt;BR&gt;Blunt force and omnipresent are among the attributes, which are defining, this relationship!&lt;BR&gt;Previously, before this sad situation is being scrutinized, knowledgeable people are explaining, the inherent weaknesses, which are marring, the sub-prime concept.&lt;BR&gt;What is this man thinking? What is motivating, this man's thinking? Who is motivating, this man's thinking? Why is greed being selected, such to replace knowledge and, hopefully, wisdom?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;"Economics For The Here And The Now," is being defined: make it up as you go along; on a day to day basis; implement, via the use of other peoples' money. This economics flavor is being favored, by the USA federal government, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;November 12, 2008; Hank Paulson is adding, the daily wrinkle.&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, the $700 Billion, which the administration is wresting, from Congress, is not being directed, toward the purchase of residential mortgage assets. These, previously, targeted purchases are, in many instances, being illiquid. The lack of liquidity is resulting, as the real properties, which are "supporting," these instruments, are continuing, such to experience declines, in their current market values.&lt;BR&gt;These declines are appropriate. The real properties, which are supporting, the non performing, financial instruments, are possessing, inflated market values, as the mortgages are being created.&lt;BR&gt;Now, these properties' values are moving, toward reality. Reality, as defined, for residential real estate, is realized, as structures are being depreciated and land is being appreciated.&lt;BR&gt;Not sending, good money after bad money is, apparently, the federal government’s decision of the day.&lt;BR&gt;Not directing, the "bail-out" money, toward the support of previous mistakes is a good decision.&lt;BR&gt;This removal of support, for previous mistakes, is, perhaps, aiding the ongoing process, wherein residential structures are being depreciated, substantially.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, November 12, 2008, Hank is, also, stating: the "bail-out" money is being re-directed.&lt;BR&gt;Now, the feds are directing, the "bail-out:" toward "direct investments" in some number of unidentified financial institutions.&lt;BR&gt;The funds are, supposedly, being invested, for the benefit, of the, USA, taxpayers, from whom the funds are being taken. &lt;BR&gt;This, direct investment in financial institutions, advisory is not good news for the USA citizens.&lt;BR&gt;As an explanation, for this preceding, negative statement; we are remembering, the all-time, old-time favorite, of the "twenty-percents," Warren Buffet.&lt;BR&gt;Our fellow citizen, Warren, is, recently, investing, $5 Billion, in  Goldman Sachs. This transaction is providing, Warren, preferred stock shares, which are paying, a 10% dividend. Goldman Sachs receives, the money; Warren receives the shares.&lt;BR&gt;Twenty days later; Hank, while using taxpayers' money, is purchasing, preferred stock, as an investment in nine banks.&lt;BR&gt;Hank's shares are paying, the taxpayers 5%, only!&lt;BR&gt;Previously, &lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is stating: the federal banks are, &lt;B&gt;while being managed, correctly&lt;/B&gt;, separating, the monies, which are being used, for operations, from the monies, which are representing, the bank's capital.&lt;BR&gt;If, we are believing, the story, which is being circulated, by the Bush administration; federal banks' managers are now incompetent. The incompetent managers are permitting, the operations' monies decimation. This decimation is complete.&lt;BR&gt;Capital monies, which are the wealth of the banks,  are being used, as the bank are meeting, operations obligations. This need, for operations monies, is such, the banks' capital investments are being breeched and are enduring, a, current, decimation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is not believing, this, capital decimation, explanation is presenting, as a creditable scenario.&lt;BR&gt;However, if this incompetence level is existing; the citizen taxpayers are not, correctly, supporting, the banks.&lt;BR&gt;The taxpayers are not buying, the, inadequately securitized, papers, which are resulting, from poor operations decisions.&lt;BR&gt;If, the capital decimation presentation is correct and true;  the taxpayers are not investing, monies, which are being used, such to replenish, the banks' capital investments.&lt;BR&gt;Boss and his "twenty-percents," bank owning, cronies are attempting, such to enrich, themselves.&lt;BR&gt;This enrichment is resulting, as the citizens are being duped, into believing, the banks are squandering, their capital investments.&lt;BR&gt;The banks are, &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; does believe, hiding, their capital, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;The banks’ managements are attempting, such to enrich their respective institutions’ capital amounts. These capital enrichments, which are coming forth, from the taxpayers, are not conveying, the powers, which enable the investors’ inputs, into the businesses’ operations. These empowerments are, traditionally, bestowed upon those making, contributions, into an entity’s capital. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;The, USA economy is, hopefully, continuing, as an unfettered economy.&lt;BR&gt;Federal government aide, which is being directed, toward the "Big 3," USA incorporated, automakers, is being advocated, by some, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;Such aide is not correct. Baby boomers are not, correctly, being required, such to contribute, for the welfare, of these corporations. Such, proposed, contributions are, of course, forthcoming, from federal tax revenues.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, the tax-paying, citizens are not receiving, votes, which are being directed, toward the management, of the companies, in return, for the proposed contributions.&lt;BR&gt;Saving factory workers jobs is the modus, which is being suggested, frequently, as this latest "bail-out" effort is being presented, for consideration.&lt;BR&gt;Maybe, the, proposed, cash infusions are saving, the aforementioned corporations. However, there are not any guarantees, such infusions are being adequate for the tasks.&lt;BR&gt;In addition, which methodologies are guaranteeing, the employment levels, within the beneficiaries, are being maintained, as the donations are being placed, into the corporations' capital structures?&lt;BR&gt;Automations, out-sourcing and revised model mixtures are affecting, the employment levels, within these specified corporations.&lt;BR&gt;Also, the corporations are not as yet learning, from their mistakes. Yesterday, November 16, 2008; Ford motor company is purchasing, television commercial time, in a a large amount. This, time purchase is sponsoring, a NFL football game. This specific game is airing, after 4 PM EST. This programming is appearing, on the CBS network.&lt;BR&gt;Each, of these expensive commercials, are promoting, the virtues, which are, supposedly, inherent, within a 2009, F-150, pick-up model, truck. This advertising is being directed, toward the sale, of  a vehicle, which is, for most people, inappropriate, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;A fraction, of the pick-ups and SUVs, which are being sold, during recent years, are being necessary, as transportation, for their respective owners.&lt;BR&gt;The pick-ups and the SUVs are, always, being absurd. Witness, an overeducated; overpaid, over fed, over coiffed; over dressed; thirty something matron, as she is maneuvering, one of these behemoths, on a narrow city street. This process is being completed, while the vehicle’s operator is not possessing, an accurate and true perception, as to the location, of the vehicle's four corners. This described vision is confirming, the absurdity, of these vehicles.&lt;BR&gt;Much better, the "Big 3," are working, through Chapter 11 bankruptcies. This, action course is being followed, by many corporations, which are being burdened, with poor management decisions. If, the, domestic based, auto manufacturers are modifying, there errant ways; these, domestic based, manufactures are surviving, their bankruptcies and are prospering, into the future.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Advertisements, which are appearing, on websites, do state; Obama's intelligence quotient (IQ) is 124. Perhaps, this statement is true; perhaps, this statement is not true.&lt;BR&gt;Many boomer are possessing, IQ scores, which are settling, between 120 and 125, through multiple testing instances.&lt;BR&gt;Those, of us, so classified do know; we are not adequate to the task, which is being USA President.&lt;BR&gt;In addition, Bama Boy is a half-breed. The man's parentage is including, a member, of The Blacks.&lt;BR&gt;Maybe, whiile residing, within Kenya, The Blacks are well behaved. In the USA, The Blacks, dwelling, within the USA, are not well behaved.&lt;BR&gt;Indeed, within the USA, The Blacks are arrogant, belligerent, loud, uncouth, unlawful and violent.&lt;BR&gt;Why do the, northeastern USA, residents vote for this man? The, majority, of the majority, norheastern USA residents are being confronted, by these trouble makers, daily. Perhaps, the non-blacks are not presenting, at the polls, in the numbers, which are reflecting, their superior census.&lt;BR&gt;We, the majority, of the USA majority, are being burdened, with the prospect, a half-breed is serving, as our nation's President, through the foreseeable future years.&lt;BR&gt;The hard facts are, most likely, confirming, the suspicion: this man is failing, as he is functioning, as President.&lt;BR&gt;Hopefully, via the, USA, citizens enduring, this adversity; positive change is presenting.&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, as Bama Boy is failing, while pursuing, his desired occupation, the majority, of the majority, are becoming, awake, once more. As a result, of this awakening, The Blacks are being relegated, via new legislation, into their, correct, societal situation.&lt;BR&gt;Such situation is does mandate: The Blacks are being managed, as the, troublesome, fourteen percent minority, which is the true and correct description, of these despicable individuals, as they are residing, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the various and assorted affirmative action legislations are, correctly, being reviewed and, likely, being eliminated.&lt;BR&gt;These aforementioned, legislations are not, in significant numbers, improving, the attitudes and behaviors, of The Blacks. These aforementioned, legislations are depriving, the majority, of the majority, that, which is, rightfully, benefitting, the majority, of the majority, members.&lt;BR&gt;The, majority, of the majority, does have need, at this time, such to place, a new, focus. This, new, focus is being directed, toward, what is true and correct. Previous, legislation is responsible, for creating, a mindset. This, legislation induced, mindset is pursuing, a focus, which is not reflecting, the, true and correct, facts, which are defining, The Blacks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Once again, we, the USA citizens, are being afforded, an opportunity. This opportunity is, of course, our voting, for a new President.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, the, 2008 selection, process is being dampened. The candidates are not possessing, the qualities, which are setting, them apart, from the mainstream.&lt;BR&gt;Perhaps, this election is serving, as an awakening, for the USA citizens.&lt;BR&gt;What is being needed, in the way of changes? These changes are being intended, such to attract superior individuals. These, so attracted, individuals are being willing, such to face the limelights and offer themselves, as candidates, for elective offices, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Suggestions:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;1. The President, the Senators and the Representatives are being limited. These individuals are serving, one term, only, in a, particular, elected office. The term lengths, which are being attached, for some elected offices, are, perhaps, being lengthened.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;2. The individuals, whom are being elected, into the aforementioned offices, are receiving, seven figure annual salaries, while serving, their respective terms in office.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;3. Political contributions are being eliminated. The costs, which are being attached, for campaigning, are being paid by the Federal government. In addition, each candidate, for any particular office, is receiving, a like amount of campaign money. Big state; little state; big district; little district; all the same.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;4. Lobbyists' activities are being curtailed, if not eliminated, via new legislation, enactment.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;5. Elected officials  are being provided, lifetime, seven figure, annual incomes, after leaving office. These stipends are being provided, via the Federal government. While receiving, the aforementioned pensions, former elected officials are being barred, from employment, with profit making firms. In addition, considerations, gifts and loans are not being received, from profit making entities, while these, retired, elected officials are receiving, the government pensions.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Some changes are being necessary. The citizens have a need. The citizens must attract superior people, who are motivated, such to manage the Federal government's operations, for the benefit, of the citizens.&lt;BR&gt;Self aggrandizement and self enrichment, which are, frequently, defining, elected officials’ behaviors, are not being correct behaviors.&lt;BR&gt;We do not have need; for half-breeds; mothers possessing, children, who are "up the stump, without a license"; geriatrics dwelling, in the seventh decade, of their respective lives; and "Old Pol" dealmakers.&lt;BR&gt;These candidate, for President 2008, are very similar, for the people, who are residing, within our home neighborhoods.&lt;BR&gt;We all do understand; the neighbors are not managing, the USA, under any circumstances!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://cyclone.he.net/cgi-bin/nph-suid/~bbnews/rss2html.pl?http://rss.cnn.com/rss/money_realestate.rss" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Sources are reporting housing prices are dropping 16.6%.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;This percentage is reflecting, an average price decline. The index, which is producing, the, 16.6 average, price drop, is incorporating, the, average price declines, which are being experienced, within twenty, major, USA cities.&lt;BR&gt;The individual cities are experiencing, average price, declines ranging from -2.7% to -30.7%.&lt;BR&gt;This, reported, price decline is an excellent start, for a journey.&lt;BR&gt;This journey is, of course, following, the road toward sanity; as sanity is being applied, for residential, real estate markets, valuations, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, there is much, arduous travel remaining, as these prices are being delivered, into reality.&lt;BR&gt;The real estate markets are continuing, such to be rift, with the ridiculous.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/reb/894315682.html" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;The obscene, greed driven, examples are continuing, such to exist, as well&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The rules of thumb, for  residential construction: after ten years, the vermin is, into the building and after twenty years, the water is, into the building.&lt;BR&gt;We are remembering, the goal is: value these older, structures, for the land plot value, only!&lt;BR&gt;A, forty six year old, residential structure, which is containing nominal quality construction, is possessing, value as being measured, by the underlying ground.&lt;BR&gt;The labor and materials, which are being incorporated, into the original construction's project, are fully and completely depreciated.&lt;BR&gt;Why is any reasonable person investing, $350,000, into such a structure? A new 2500 square foot dwelling is being built, with construction costing, $80 to $100 per square foot. The ground plot is holding, some value, which is separate and apart, from the, per foot, construction costs.&lt;BR&gt;This, advertised, project is pure greed. The financing, which is being attached, for this insanity, is more of the same nonesense, which is resulting, with a $700 Billion bail-out!&lt;BR&gt;The Hymie the Keicks are being responsible, in large part, as the financial institutions are failing. Bet your bottom dollar; their brethren are being responsible, in large part, as the greed is presenting, for the residential real estate markets.&lt;BR&gt;Always, for two thousand years, the same suspects. This, deplorable condition is continuing, because the majority, of the majority, is not taking, the needed actions. The Hymie minority is not, correctly, being allowed, such to control the lives and the destinies, of the majority's members.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Boomers, who are lifelong renters, have to be amazed.&lt;BR&gt;The crying, about the poor homeowners loosing, their homes through foreclosure, is continuing.&lt;BR&gt;Renters are aware; as rental payments are remaining, unpaid; we are enduring evictions.&lt;BR&gt;Of course, boomer renters are well indoctrinated, as second class citizens, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Now, politicians are suggesting, more aid is forthcoming, for the "homeowners." &lt;BR&gt;The FDIC is suggesting, the 'insuring,' of loans. The Treasury is suggesting, the recalculation of mortgage loans; with, supposedly, lower payments being incumbent. Some state legislatures are enacting, legislations, which are forestalling, the foreclosure process.&lt;BR&gt;These, enumerated, efforts are threats.&lt;BR&gt;Excess valuations are plaguing, the residential real estate markets. The possibility is existing: the inflated valuations are being removed, via the foreclosure process. These, most recent, government suggestions are thwarting, the foreclosure processes. &lt;BR&gt;Sources are reporting: &lt;A HREF="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601213&amp;sid=ahE9ALO_cRyA&amp;refer=home" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;home prices dropped 5.9 percent from a year earlier during August 2008&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;This figure is a great start! However, residential real estate valuations are still inflated. Again, the prospect, of fifty years and older properties, being sold for five and six figure amounts, is absurd. These properties are, correctly, being valued, in total, for the value, of the underlying ground.&lt;BR&gt;Think about this; why is a market, for sub-prime mortgages existing?&lt;BR&gt;The properties’ values are inflated. Wage earners, who are qualifying, as prime mortgage prospects, are no longer qualifying, as such, because the inflated values are existing.&lt;BR&gt;Therefore, these, home ownership, prospects are being reclassified, as sub-prime mortgage, prospects.&lt;BR&gt;The equity markets are, currently, removing, the excess valuations, with which they are being afflicted.&lt;BR&gt;This same removal, of excess valuation, is correctly, being permitted, such to propagate, through the residential real estate markets, within the USA&lt;BR&gt;The numbers, of potential residential real estate purchasers, being classified, as sub-prime is being reduced, as the residential real estate, within the USA, is becoming, accurately valued.&lt;BR&gt;The, current, additional, government agencies, proposals, which are enumerated, above, are perpetuating, the market conditions, which are fostering, the sub-prime, mortgage industry's establishment.&lt;BR&gt;We, as USA citizens, are demanding, the federal and state governments are ceasing, the efforts, which are thwarting, the opportunity, for a return of real estate values, which are based, upon the fundamental understanding: land appreciates and structures depreciate.&lt;BR&gt;The best medicine is, often, the medicine, which is the, worst tastomg, medicine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Sources do attribute the quote contained, herein, toward, Thomas Jefferson.&lt;BR&gt;We are remembering, Mr. Jefferson is the author, of the Declaration of Independence; Mr. Jefferson is, also, the third President of the United States.&lt;BR&gt;This quote is "food for thought":&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Individuals and groups of people form business entitles. These entitles, most often corporations, are divided into shares. The entitles are capitalized via the sale, of these shares, to other individuals; to other groups; to other entities.&lt;BR&gt;Subsequently, these same shares are bought and sold in the open marketplaces. These open marketplaces are being identified, as exchanges.&lt;BR&gt;So, there is a very simple explanation, of how stock markets are coming, into existence.&lt;BR&gt;Hopefully, this explanation's simplicity and lack of details is not confusing, any, of the individuals, who are reading, this commentary.&lt;BR&gt;The point: The aforementioned, formation sequences is not incorporating, any processes, which are functions, of the federal government.&lt;BR&gt;During, recent weeks; the federal government is assuming, stances, which are inappropriate.&lt;BR&gt;First, the federal government is deciding, such to purchase $700 Billion of non performing assets, which are, allegedly, clogging the USA credit markets.&lt;BR&gt;These assets are being purchased, with taxpayer money, from financial institutions, which are being subjects, of public ownership.&lt;BR&gt;The federal government's purchase, of non-performing assets, from a private business, is not correct.&lt;BR&gt;The assets, which are being purchased, are having their respective valuations being dependent upon the valuations, of other assets.&lt;BR&gt;There is existing, a strong possibility; these underlying assets, which are providing, the basis for valuation, of the assets being purchased, are not accurately valued. These underlying assets are residential real estate properties. &lt;BR&gt;Subsequently, during the week, which is commencing, October 5, 2008, the federal government is proposing, such to purchase equity interests in the affected financial institutions, which are the owners, of the non-performing assets.&lt;BR&gt;The question: Why are the USA equities markets plunging, downward, during the week, which is commencing, October 5, 2008?&lt;BR&gt;The answer is obvious.&lt;BR&gt; Central government is presenting, with interventions, which are being directed, toward the operations and internal affairs, of these equities markets’ membership.&lt;BR&gt;Such interventions, are not being, a part, of the original equations, which are bringing forth these equities markets.&lt;BR&gt;Said equations are providing, the basis, which is being used, as these equities markets are being formed and as these equities markets are operating, through the years.&lt;BR&gt;The upheaval, which is evident, during the week, commencing October 5, 2008 is analogous to an organism, which is rejecting, a virus infection, or a bacterial infraction.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN-"JUSTIFY"&gt;Now, 3:00 PM EDT, October 3, 2008; sources are reporting, the U.S. House of Representatives is passing, the infamous $700 Billion "bail-out" legislation.&lt;BR&gt;As always, &lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer news&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is holding, the opinion: this legislation is wrong.&lt;BR&gt;This legislation is not correcting, the underlying greed, mismanagement and poor application, of basic economics. All, of which, are being identified, as contributors, for the economic crisis, which is, allegedly, existing, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;First, the problem is not being corrected, permanently, via the implementation, of this legislation.&lt;BR&gt;Second, this legislation is fostering, an environment, which is maintaining, the inflated values, which are afflicting, residential real estate valuations, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Purported, features, of this newly passed, revised, "bail-out," legislation, do include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Increased protection for saving deposits - At this time, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is not possessing, the funds, which are being necessary, such to insure citizens' bank deposits, while said deposits are remaining, insured, at the $100,000 level. Currently, the FDIC reserves are remaining, below the amounts, whcih are being mandated, by the Congress.&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, the &lt;A HREF="http://www.fdic.gov/about/strategic/report/2007highlight/fs_dif.html" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;FDIC reserves amounts are $52.5 Billion&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. The &lt;A HREF="http://www.fdic.gov/about/strategic/report/2007highlight/fin_hi.html#difp" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;bank deposits, which are supposedly, being insured&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; are presenting, as a $4 Trillion total amount.&lt;BR&gt;Where is the money, which is assuring, this, additional, insurance protection is being in place?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Increased child tax credits - Pure PR. Discriminatory legislation. Not germane, for the problem at hand.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More aid for hurricane victims - Once again, not germane. This amendment is being motivated, by the desire for votes. Discriminatory legislation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tax breaks for renewable energy - Not germane, for the problem. Indirectly, these incentives are, perhaps, providing, support for the inflated, residential real estate, values, which are existing, within the USA. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Higher starting limits to alternative minimum tax - Not germane, for the problem. Disgraceful attempt, such to garner voter support, for a hot steaming pile. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Want prevent a reoccurrence, of this or similar problems?&lt;BR&gt;Great, eliminate the root cause, which is the excessive valuations, which are being placed, for residential real estate, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Eliminate, these excessive valuations, via the implementation, of new real estate appraisal methodology.&lt;BR&gt;This new methodology is separating, the value of the land, from the value of the structure.&lt;BR&gt;After implementation is being completed; these valuations are being. strictly, maintained, as properties are being bough an sold.&lt;BR&gt; These valuations are being immune, for the hype, which is dominating, the residential real estate markets, within the USA, for many years.&lt;BR&gt;Meanwhile, let us eliminate, the foreplay, move directly into the main event. An example, of  such meaningful action, is being depicted here:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081001/ap_on_fe_st/odd_cheap_home" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Home Sold For True Value&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;At this time, 3:30 PM, September 30, 2008; the USA House of Representatives is continuing, a course of action, which is being supported, by a majority, of the assemblage's members.&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, the Congress is saying, no, as the body ponders, the $700 Billion bail out&lt;BR&gt;Many, USA citizens are in agreement. The, vocal, citizens are making, opinions known, for the Congress.&lt;BR&gt;One facet, of this proposed salvation, is not receiving, extensive, informative coverage.&lt;BR&gt;As you probably do understand; the monies, which are comprising, a bank's capital are an asset. These monies are the ownership, of the bank. These monies are separate and apart, from the monies, which are being used, as needs arising, from operations are being satisfied.&lt;BR&gt; Such operations’ needs are being represented, by demand deposits; time deposits; loans, both secured and unsecured; certificates; mortgages.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; does have a question.&lt;BR&gt;Are the "bail-out" candidates being required, such to contribute, their capital monies into the money pool, which is being used, such to complete, the "bail-out" operation?&lt;BR&gt;Some weak banks are filing, bankruptcy petitions.&lt;BR&gt;Some, other, weak banks are being absorbed, by stronger banks.&lt;BR&gt;Are the bankrupt banks and the absorbed banks retaining, all or part, of the wealth, which is comprising, the failed institutions’ capitalizations?&lt;BR&gt;The hyperlink, which is appearing, below, does open, a copy of "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008."&lt;BR&gt;If you are viewing, this document; please, do read Page 9, Lines 8 Through 12.&lt;BR&gt;Also, Page 13 Sub 6 Lines 8 Through 18.&lt;BR&gt;Perhaps, this, specified, text is revealing, a "loophole."

The man is a millionaire, by age 22.&lt;BR&gt;However, during, 1951, in the publication, &lt;I&gt;Beckoning Frontiers&lt;/I&gt;, Mr. Eccles is stating:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;As mass production has to be accompanied by mass consumption, mass consumption, in turn, implies a distribution of wealth — not of existing wealth, but of wealth as it is currently produced — to provide men with buying power equal to the amount of goods and services offered by the nations economic machinery.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Obviously, Mr. Eccles, while amassing, a personal fortune is aware; concentrated wealth is an anathema, for the USA economy.&lt;BR&gt;More important, the principal, which is reveled, within the 1951 statement, is being ignored, as the, current, 2008, economic crisis is a building. This building process is occurring, through the years, which are containing, recent, USA, economic history.&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Eccles is revealing, further, deeper, insights into what is feeding, the, 1929 - 1933, USA economic depression.

The availability, of mortgage money, and the bizarre, residential real estate evaluation, process, which is being found, within the USA do conspire, such to create overpriced, real properties&lt;BR&gt;The land components, of the underlying properties, are the only components, which are being amenable, for accurate valuations. In addition, the land components are, very likely, continuing, such to appreciate, as time is continuing, such to pass.&lt;BR&gt;The "bail-out" total amount is being reduced, via the timely appraisals, of the underlying, properties’ land components.&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, the appraisals, which ate being undertaken, at this time, are being based, upon the values, of the land components, only!&lt;BR&gt;This methodology is providing, an accurate and easily determined valuations, for the only components, which are possessing: continually appreciatig, intrinsic and accurately measureable values.&lt;BR&gt;Appraisals, of the land components, are being completed, with relative ease and in an expeditious manner.&lt;BR&gt;The new appraisals are being applied, for the mortgages supporting, properties, which are subjects, for the federal government's  “bail-out.”&lt;BR&gt;These specified mortgages are constituting, the underlying securities, for the mortgage packages, which are being purchased, by investors, in the past.&lt;BR&gt;These, two, in sequence, processes do reduce, the $700 Billion, “bail-out” amount, significantly.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is guessing; the, “bail-out” amount is being reduced, by two-thirds; the taxpayers are paying, for the land components, only!.&lt;BR&gt;The taxpayers are being burdened, with an amount, which is between $300 Billion and $400 Billion, as the revised appraisals are being used, such to create, the taxpayers’ financial obligation.&lt;BR&gt;The, amounts balance, which is remaining, may be recovered, in part, via the sale, of the mortgaged properties.&lt;BR&gt;Owners, of the troubled, mortgage properties, are, correctly, assuming, the obligations; for the remaining, moneies owed. These obligations are being met, via the implementation, of installment loans, which are being assumed, by the, previous mortgagor. &lt;BR&gt;As an example:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;$100,000.00 = Full Market Value – Per County Assessment Office&lt;BR&gt;Lender And Realtor Suggestions Are Not Of Consequence&lt;BR&gt;$30,000.= Land Component – Per County Assessment Office&lt;BR&gt;$130,000.00 = Mortgage Amount In Default – Per Lender&lt;BR&gt;$30,000.00 = Taxpayers Liability For A Bail-Out&lt;BR&gt;$70,000.00 = The Asking Price Which Is Being Sought As Troubled Property Is Offered For Sale&lt;BR&gt;Remember: Land Component Is Being Paid By Taxpayers&lt;BR&gt;$30,000.00 = Balance Remaining – Paid Via Previous Owner’s Installment Loan &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In addition, the title, for the property is encumbered, with a lien. The lien amount is $30,000.00. The lien is in favor of the U.S. government. This lien is recorded, and is presenting, as a deed encumbrance, for the new owner(s). This lien is subordinate, for a first mortgage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Talk about being misguided.&lt;BR&gt;Today, September 23, 2008, sources are reporting, the comments, which are allegedly being uttered, by James Lockhart. Mr. Lockhart is the Federal Housing Finance Agency's director.&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Lockhart is suggesting, such that; Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac are, at this time, loosening, the lending standards, which are being applied, for potential mortgage makers.&lt;BR&gt;Specifically, these potential mortgagees are seeking, such to use, the aforementioned agencies' services.&lt;BR&gt;The, July 2008, housing price decline, which is being reported, is, ostensibly, motivating, Mr. Lockhart's suggestion.&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Lockhart's suggestion is wrong! This man is attempting, such to destroy the, presently existing, golden, opportunity, wherein home prices are being reduced, such to reflect the true value, of residential real estate, as same is existing, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Does this man not understand; retention, of rigid loan qualification standards in conjunction, with the continuing decline, of residential real estate prices, is eliminating, the problems which are afflicting, the residential real estate market, in the USA?&lt;BR&gt;As housing prices are declining; more potential buyers are qualifying, legitimately,  for financing, which is being dispersed, while using, rigid standards.&lt;BR&gt;On the other hand; Mr. Lockhart's suggestion is, possibly, fostering, a reemergence, of an environment, wherein unqualified buyers are being granted loans, which are financing overpriced, properties.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Boss Bush, his "twenty-percents," supporters and law enforcement are desiring, such to remove Constitutional guarantees, from the, USA citizens.&lt;BR&gt;This aforementioned group is continuing, such to devise methods, which are advancing, their common goal.&lt;BR&gt;Boss is the front man. The President's function is to devise the plans and push the plans through the Congress.&lt;BR&gt;The "twenty-percents" are, as always, seeking, absolute, unquestioned, control, of the masses. Such control is assuring, the continuation, of the status quo. Said status quo is resulting, with eighty percent, of the, USA, wealth, being controlled, by twenty percent, of the USA population.&lt;BR&gt;LE seeks to continue, such to pull down the $4K to $5K each month; ride about in the Crown Vics; strut in the uniforms; "punk out" the poor and the weak, who are being forced, such to pursue crime, as an endeavor.&lt;BR&gt;LE is needing, work. These days every little burg is possessing, a police department; this assessment is seeming, such to be true. As LE is investigating, incidents; the focus is upon, the course of action, which is supplying, the most work hours. Good and bad; right and wrong; up and down; forget about those.&lt;BR&gt;Fortunately, some members, of the Federal judiciary, are determined, such to protect, the, USA, citizens. These individuals are rendering, citizen protecting decisions. Specifically, these decisions are upholding, the legal concept, which is probable cause.&lt;BR&gt;The link, which is appearing, directly below, is leading, into a website. This website is containing, a news article. This article is detailing, the, courageous, enlightened and thoughtful behaviors, which are being displayed, by two members of the federal judiciary. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is sending, kudos!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://post-gazette.com/pg/08257/911941-85.stm" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Probable Cause Is Necessary As Cell Data Is Being Sought&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Sunday, September 7, 2008, sources are announcing: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are being placed under the control, of a USA, federal government, agency, This action is, supposedly, being intended, as an effort, such to restore order and confidence, into the USA economy. These desired effects are, hopefully, being, results as home foreclosures are being delayed or eliminated.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is understanding, at this time, this receivership plan is moving, up to $100 Billions into each, of the entities, which are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.&lt;BR&gt;This money is, as always, eventually being supplied, from the, USA, taxpayers.&lt;BR&gt;This action is rebutting, the, accurate, cliché; two wrongs are not making a right.&lt;BR&gt;The hard truth: this wrong is being the most recent addition, in a series, of wrongs!&lt;BR&gt;Multiple, incorrect, actions, which are being directed, toward the facilitation, of residential, real property, financing, are proceeding, this, most recent, affront.&lt;BR&gt;These actions, amass, are being  responsible, for the current, residential real estate, financing, problems and the aforementioned, incorrect response, which is being directed, toward the problems..&lt;BR&gt;Buying, financing and selling, of residential real estate and commercial real estate, are, correctly, remaining,  enterprises, which are being supported, by private entities, only!&lt;BR&gt;The agencies, which are comprising, the federal government, are not, correctly, being established, such to provide funding, for real estate purchases; provide repayment insurance, which is protecting, mortgage makers; provide an apparatus, via which, mortgages are being packaged and sold for the benefit, of mortgage makers and mortgagee investors.&lt;BR&gt; In addition, the legislative branch, with or without consent from the executive branch, of the federal government, is not, correctly, legislating, the establishment, of quasi government corporations, which are being involved, with the above enumerated, activities.&lt;BR&gt; The currently existing, entities, which are including, FHA, VHA, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, are, each and every, incorrect, federal government, endeavors.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, the federal government, with the consent, of the USA voters, is being involved, with each, of the inappropriate activities, which are being identified, within the previous paragraphs.&lt;BR&gt;These, federal government, incorrect, involvements, in the residential real estate, financing, industry are responsible, as the market price, of residential real estate, is continuing, such to reflect, excessive valuation, of individual properties.&lt;BR&gt; These, federal government, incorrect, involvements are responsible, as individual, marginally qualified,  buyers are being provided financing. This financing is being supplied, for properties, which are being afflicted, with inflated market values.&lt;BR&gt;The, real estate financing, industry, functions are, correctly, being returned, into the private sector, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;While the, real estate, financing, responsibility is, correctly, remaining, within the control, of the private sector; the, real estate, valuations, practices, as we know them, such to exist, within, the USA, are having, a need, which is entailing, a methodology change..&lt;BR&gt;A significant, flaw is afflicting, the USA real estate industry. This flaw is defined, via the bizarre method, which is being used, as real estate is being valued.&lt;BR&gt;This bizarre method is responsible, as inflated, residential real estate, values are becoming, the norm.&lt;BR&gt;The inflated, real estate values are providing, the environment. The environment is fostering, the development, of the, aforementioned, inappropriate, federal government, practices&lt;BR&gt;As a hypothetical, yet viable, example:&lt;BR&gt;Circa 1948; a not uncommon behavior is the purchase, of a building lot and the construction, of a private home, upon the lot.&lt;BR&gt;Possibly, the building lot is being priced, $1500.00; the construction is generating, an additional $8000.00 expense. Great, mom and dad are possessing, a, comfortable, new home. &lt;BR&gt;Now, 2008, the building lot is remaining, in existence.  This building lot is appreciating, through the years. This appreciation is true and correct. Land, which is being used, for human shelter, is finite. While humans are continuing, such to dwell, upon this planet; usable land is appreciating. &lt;BR&gt;A possibility does exist;  the, built in 1948, structure is remaining, in place.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, the, poor, real estate, valuation process, is remaining, in place, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;This flawed valuation process is resulting, with the structure's value being appreciated.&lt;BR&gt;This structure appreciation is incorrect! The structure's value is not appreciating, from a value, of $8000, into a value, as an example, of $50,000&lt;BR&gt; The practice, wherein an object, which is being constructed, from oxidizing materials, is being appreciated, as time is passing, is a "twenty-percents" rip off.&lt;BR&gt;Hard fact; first class masonry construction is possessing, a useful life, which is, approximately,100 years.&lt;BR&gt;The 1948 structure, if first class, is consuming, more than half the useful life, of the structure, at this time.&lt;BR&gt; The water and the vermin are inside, the structure. Renovation, repair, and replacement are ongoing, costly concerns&lt;BR&gt;The structure’s true value is $0!&lt;BR&gt;The, 1948 example, property is not possessing, a true and correct, value, which is $80,000,00.&lt;BR&gt;The, 1948 property is possessing, a, true and correct, value, which is $30,000.00.&lt;BR&gt; The $30,000.00 is, of course, being contained, within the ground.&lt;BR&gt;Do not remodel; do not "fix-up"; do not repair; do not, certainly, place, a, commemorative plaque, on the outside wall.&lt;BR&gt;At the earliest date; demolish the structure.&lt;BR&gt;Too expensive? YES, as the status quo is remaining, in place!&lt;BR&gt;NO, as the status quo is being changed! As structures are being built, with a known demolition date being in place; the structure is being built, using materials and techniques, which are reflecting, the structures’ pre-determined, lifespans.&lt;BR&gt;Room additions, new kitchens and bathrooms are being eliminated. Hymie, the Jew, is not visiting, such to peddle new windows. Bubba is not installing, a, replacement, furnace and air conditioner.&lt;BR&gt;Yes, we are eliminating, emotion based, waste, which is, currently, finding, a refuge, in the residential housing stock.&lt;BR&gt;More important, this, pre-determined, structure lifespan, methodology is eliminating, sub standard housing, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;True, the planned obsolescence program is eliminating, the excessive, market prices, increases. These increases are the, current, status quo; which is afflicting, residential real estate, structures' valuations.&lt;BR&gt;Very important; the mindset, which is being held, by residential real estate owners must change. These owners are, correctly, ceasing, such to hold the building, in which they are residing, as an appreciable asset.&lt;BR&gt;Of course, fixing the, USA, housing stock is not fixing, the financial problems, which are being attached, for real property, financing, within the USA&lt;BR&gt;Financial problems, which are being incumbent, with residential real estate financing, are exiting, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;Mortgage foreclosures, which are affecting, some number, of residential properties, during the immediate future is a catharsis, which is being necessary, at this time. This, unfortunate, circumstance is reducing, the bloat and nonsense, which is being attached, for the valuations, of residential real estate, within the USA, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;The nonsensical, costly for taxpayers, plan, which is being revealed, by the federal government, September 7, 2008, is perpetuating, the, current, machinations, with which, residential,  real estate market, prices are being afflicted, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is suggesting, these problems are being reduced, or, hopefully, eliminated, in the future. The problems' eliminations are being brought forth, via the implementation, of a, two part, residential real estate, financing, methodology.&lt;BR&gt;As always, &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is suggesting:&lt;BR&gt;A mortgage, which is being applied for the purchase, of the land. Obviously, the mortgage amount is being limited; the land’s value, at the time, of the purchase, is determining, the mortgage amount. This mortgage is, possibly, being a "balloon" mortgage type. Interest is being paid during, the mortgage's lifetime. The mortgage principal is being retired, as the structure is being replaced.&lt;BR&gt;Most certainly, the two part methodology is holding agreement, with the ongoing, principal; land is is continuing, such to appreciate!&lt;BR&gt;The structure is being financed, via the use, of an installment loan. This installment loan is holding a term, which is as is the pre-determined lifetime, of the structure. The installment loan is being retired, via the use of monthly payment. The monthly payment is being directed, toward the retirement, of the installment loan’s principal and  the installment loan's interest. This loan is operating, as an auto loan is operating. Autos being another, of the asset classes, which are continually depreciating.&lt;BR&gt;Yes, real property is continuing, such to be bought and sold, as this two-part financing system is being in operation. Residential property owners are moving, as need or want is dictating. The land mortgage is retired, before maturity, from the house sale proceeds. The installment loan is being retired, before maturity, from the house sale proceeds.&lt;BR&gt;A, new land mortgage is made. A, new, installment loan is being created. The installment loan amount is being determined, from the structure's remaining useful life. The useful life is, of course, being determined, via the date, upon which demolition is becoming due. &lt;BR&gt;The good news; as residential real estate is being bought and sold; price negotiation, as directed toward the structure, is being eliminated. The price is being determined, based upon the years, which are remaining, until the structure is being obsolescent.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.wealthdaily.com/newsletter.php?date=2008-09-13" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Insight Into The Fannie And Freddie Fiasco&lt;BR&gt;From The Perspectives Held By Others&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-6081183694038341479?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/6081183694038341479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=6081183694038341479&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/6081183694038341479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/6081183694038341479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2009/03/march-4-2009.html' title='March 4, 2009'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616711441582830422.post-114216215765419998</id><published>2008-09-14T10:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T10:29:27.466-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Minorities Controlling Majorities - Stop This Practice!</title><content type='html'>&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;Each day much stress is being created, as minorities are continuing, such to exercise, control, which is being directed, toward majorities.&lt;BR&gt;Minorities are being identified, by color, ethnicity and religion. Some individuals are being, correctly, classified, as minorities, via multiple definitions. As an example: a, black, Hispanic, who is turning, from Catholic to Protestant.&lt;BR&gt;Each minority is, in turn, being comprised, of additional sub classifications. These sub classifications are presenting, as minorities, within a minority. Examples: genius, idiot, moron, retarded, possessors, of superior hand eye coordination, possession of superior muscle mass and strength,  physically handicapped, ability, such to create, or perform, among one or more of the arts&lt;BR&gt;This, control by minority, situation is fostering, the creation, of major, civilization altering, contentious situations. These, major crisis, situations are presenting, in addition, to the daily stress, which is being created, among individuals.&lt;BR&gt;As an example, the Middle East dominance, by the Jewish minority, which is based, within Israel, is continuing, such to provide, an environment, which is fostering, violence and death.&lt;BR&gt;These, ongoing situations, are continuing, such to exist, throughout the world, through time, and  into the present day.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is suggesting; the time is arrived, wherein this ongoing situation is being addressed.&lt;BR&gt;Further, as this, ongoing, minority control situation is being addressed, the, situation’s recognition  is being undertaken, with the perspective, such that this situation is  refuting, some, of the laws of nature. Also, it is understood, this minority control situation is embracing, other, o f nature’s laws.&lt;BR&gt;This, project’s success is contingent upon a change,  in the status quo, as same is being applied, toward the situation. &lt;BR&gt;Majority member, USA citizens are continuing, such to, endure abuse, via minority control. These abuses are presenting, from interactions, which are presenting, within various, ill conceived, ill administered, human being encounters and transactions.&lt;BR&gt;As an example; majority member, citizens, who are interfacing, with bureaucracy, minority member, employees, and bureaucracy, minority member, administrators / managers, are being subjects, for inadequate service, incomplete disclosures, premeditated discriminations and complete falsehoods.&lt;BR&gt;These, aforementioned, negative encounters are presenting, as majority member, USA, citizens are interacting, with minority member employees, while the, minority member employees are functioning, in these aforementioned, bureaucratic, positions.&lt;BR&gt;Often, the, abuse, of majority members, is resulting, because the, minority member, employees are not possessing, the current, personal situations, educations, inclinations motivations or pedigrees, which are being necessarily, in place, as the, minority member, employee occupied, position's services are being delivered. The, said services' deliveries are not  being delivered, as intended, because a, minority member, employee is not adequate to the task.&lt;BR&gt;Unfortunately, this abuse is, sometimes, being based upon race hatred, which is being displayed, by the, minority member, employee, as said employee is providing, service, for the, majority member, USA, citizen.&lt;BR&gt;In the USA, the other source, of abuse, which is impacting, the majority member, citizen, is emanating, from a very competent, very adroit, very energetic, Jewish, minority, who is embracing, a, winner takes all, perspective.&lt;BR&gt;This, minority’s members are, for the most part, being, of the same race, as are the, majority member, USA citizens.&lt;BR&gt;This, empowered minority is controlling, a portion, of the, USA, capital  income, and the, USA, labor income, which are comprising, a greater percentage, of the incomes' totals., than is the percentage, of the, USA population, which this minority is comprising.&lt;BR&gt;This, empowered minority is controlling, portions, of USA property, both, real property and personal property, which are comprising, a greater percentage, of the properties' totals., than is the percentage, of the population, which this minority is comprising.&lt;BR&gt;In addition, this empowered minority is controlling, a disproportionate share, of the, professional employment, positions, which are existing, within the USA&lt;BR&gt;As an example, if, a minority is comprising, fifteen percent, of the nation's population, no more than fifteen percent, of the nation’s attorneys, are, correctly, being drawn, from this minority. &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is holding; this, desired, population aligned, equitable, status quo is not existing, within the USA, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;This, deprive the majority, condition is existing, for two thousand years.&lt;BR&gt;All the while, this empowered minority is being disrespectful, throughout history, as they are interfacing, with the, majority members, of populations, within all nations. &lt;BR&gt;The disrespect, along with the economic deprivations, which are accruing, for the, majority members, of the, various, national, populations, as a result, of the aforementioned wealth and income distributions, are  fostering, angers, frustrations and depressions, which are, sometimes, generating, violence, which is emanating, from the, majority members, found within the populations.&lt;BR&gt;The violence, most often, is having, the effect; the, empowered minority's census is being reduced, as the majority members are taking action.&lt;BR&gt;Therefore, the minority is remaining, a minority.&lt;BR&gt;The legislative bodies, at all levels, within the USA, are enacting, “hate crime” punishments, for criminal activity, which is, supposedly, being motivated by “hate,” This legislation is becoming de rigueur, during the previous twenty years. These, “hate crime,” criminal punishments are being intended, such to coerce, the majority members. Legislators and law enforcement are hoping, the violence, which is, possibly, forthcoming, eventually, from the majority members, is being suppressed, via the threat of long periods of incarceration. The majority members are, possibly, becoming violent, eventually, as the frustrations and depravations, which are being attributable, toward, the, control of the majority members, by minorities is continuing, such to increase,&lt;BR&gt;First, all crime is motivated, at least partly, by hate. As an example: as a person is operating, as rapist, lust and mental illness are being immediate, motivators, however, hate is, also, being present; without the hatred, for the victim, the rapist is not proceeding, with the crime.&lt;BR&gt;Second, “hate crime” legislation is not the correct path, which to follow, as the violence, which is resulting, from minority control situations, is being diffused. Legislation, which is managing, the apportioning, of powers, such that majority members are not being controlled, by minority members, is diffusing, the, minority control, problem.&lt;BR&gt;Wealth and income are, basis of society, resources. These, essential, elements are, correctly, being managed, via legislation, also. Specifically, neither any minority member, nor the minority in total, is, correctly, controlling,  a percentages, of the, total income, dollar amount, or the, total property, dollar amount, which is greater than is the percentage, of the nation’s population, which the minority is comprising.&lt;BR&gt;Tough to implement and administer? You bet! However, the effort is justified, as this unnatural situation is being removed.&lt;BR&gt;As we observe the behaviors, of the, USA population’s majority members;  are we to believe; yes is the answer, for any, of the following questions? &lt;BR&gt;This,  ongoing, situation is &lt;B&gt;not&lt;/B&gt; being perceived, by the majorities, as a problem?&lt;BR&gt;The majority members are resigned, to this situation?&lt;BR&gt;Are, the majority members being dissuaded from action, as the governments are continuing, the suppression, of normal human reactions, via onerous legislation.&lt;BR&gt;Do the majorities not believe, there are strengths in numbers, which are providing, the means, via legal, or illegal procedures, such to change this status quo?&lt;BR&gt; Are the majorities being misled, by legislation, which is resulting, as boisterous factions are promoting, irrational agendas, which propel minorities, into positions, for which, they are neither equipped, nor entitled?&lt;BR&gt;Are the majorities being manipulated, via the cunning, which is a hallmark, of the, aforementioned, empowered, Jewish,  minority?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is finding, as this minority control, of  situation is being referenced; the hyperlinks are few and far between. As, this, minority control, of the, majority members, within the population, situation is being discussed, researched and reviewed, the commentaries, the findings and the basic research are being mired, with ethical, legal, psychological and social issues. The minority control situation is not being addressed, as a stand alone problem, in the literature.&lt;BR&gt;It is a stand alone problem!&lt;BR&gt;Acknowledgement, by the many, such that minority control, of the, majority members, of the population, within any nation, is a, serious, stand alone, problem, is the first step!&lt;BR&gt;In the USA, opponents, of this approach, toward, the minority control, of the majority members, is bringing forth, at least, three arguments.&lt;BR&gt;The&lt;I&gt;Declaration of Independence&lt;/I&gt; which is addressing, equality, is &lt;B&gt;number one argument&lt;/B&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;Well, equality, among citizens, is non existent, within the USA. The national football league is an example, of inequality, among citizens.&lt;BR&gt;First, this organization is being controlled, by the “twenty-percents,” as always, we are remembering, eighty percent, of the USA wealth, is being controlled, by “twenty-percent, of the USA population.&lt;BR&gt;Second, we are remembering, the blacks are constituting, less than thirteen percent, of the USA population. However, as we review the NFL census, we are finding; &lt;A HREF='http://www.sptimes.com/2007/01/29/Bucs/A_vast_minority.shtml' TARGET='_blank'&gt;Seventy Percent Of NFL Is Black – 2007&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;Yet, some, of the blacks are not satisfied. These individuals are demanding, sixty five percent, of NFL coaches are, correctly, being black. Nonsense, the number, of black, NFL, coaches is reflecting, at this time, the percentage, of the black population, in the USA.&lt;BR&gt;As is the case, within the league, as a whole, the blacks are receiving, more than their fair share, as the situation, among NFL quarterbacks, is being revealed:  &lt;A HREF='http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3025308' TARGET='_blank'&gt;Percent Starting Black Quarterbacks: NFL November 2007 - 15.6&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;The majority member, USA citizens are being deprived, their, population aligned, participation, within the NFL.&lt;BR&gt;The &lt;B&gt;number two argument&lt;/B&gt;, which is being presented, such to thwart, the legislation, which is being necessary, as minority control is being eliminated, is the &lt;I&gt;Constitution&lt;/I&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;We are remembering, &lt;A HREF='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks' TARGET='_blank'&gt;Rosa Parks&lt;/A&gt;. Rosa, during, December 1955, is a, minority member, USA citizens, living in Alabama.&lt;BR&gt;Rosa is desirous, of using, the public transit, which is available, for a fee, in Alabama.&lt;BR&gt;Most important; Rosa is not being denied, the opportunity, such to use the transportation, which is being supplied. The bus is stopping, for Rosa, at the bus stop, of her choice; Rosa is boarding, the bus; Rosa is riding, within the bus; Rosa is alighting, from the bus, at the stopping point, of her choice. &lt;BR&gt;The authority, which is operating, the bus service, is providing, a rule, which is stating, the blacks are surrendering, their seats, for the use of the whites.&lt;BR&gt;Rosa is not being enamored, by this particular rule; Rosa is refusing, such to surrender, her seat location, as  the surrender is being sought, from Rosa..&lt;BR&gt;Was Rosa being barred, from the using, the public service, by the majority members, of the USA population, who are being responsible, for the passage, and the implementation, of this rule.&lt;BR&gt;Certainly not!&lt;BR&gt;Did Rosa have available, other means, via which she is reaching her destination? Certainly!&lt;BR&gt;Would Rosa endure interference, which is coming, from majority member, citizens, as she is attempting, the use, of the alternate means? Probably not!&lt;BR&gt;Does Rosa have available; the option, which entails the leaving, of the USA, as she was finding, herself unhappy, with the status quo, as same is regarding, the public transit, within Alabama? Most likely&lt;BR&gt;If, a majority member, USA citizen is boarding, the same bus as is being boarded, by Rosa, while in the company, of a caged, parrot, while the parrot is uttering, obscenities, such that the comments are being heard, by the passenger entirety. Is, the majority member being asked, such to move, into another seat, or , perhaps, is the, majority member, passenger being asked, such to debus? Such, a request is very likely!&lt;BR&gt;So, is Rosa Parks’ treatment, via the public transit operator, depriving, the rights which are accruing, for Rosa, via the &lt;I&gt;Constitution&lt;/I&gt;? No, the rules, albeit oppressive are the rules, which are being accepted, by the majority members, of the USA population, as a condition, of public transit usage, as Rosa is going for a ride.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;The third argument&lt;/B&gt; is free enterprise.&lt;BR&gt;The, NFL statistics, which are appearing, above, are providing, insight into this argument.&lt;BR&gt;The blacks, a, USA population, minority, are dominating, the NFL. This domination is depriving, majority member, citizens the opportunity, such to garner money, via the playing, of a game.&lt;BR&gt;Why, does this inequity continue? The lust for money, which is the driving force motivating, the “twenty-percents.” is responsible, for the continuation, of this inequity.&lt;BR&gt;The blacks, are enjoying, superior hand eye coordination; the blacks are being endowed, with muscle mass and muscle weight, which is, often, superior, to the endowments, of majority member, USA citizens; the blacks are running, very fast.&lt;BR&gt;The blacks are providing, a superior show, for the ticket buyers. The better is the program; the more ticket buyers. The more ticket buyers, the more, the “twenty-percent,” are charging, for the tickets.&lt;BR&gt;Rotten to the core? Absolutely!&lt;BR&gt;Imagine, as more, majority member, USA citizens are being permitted, such to garner money, via the playing, of a game; the quality, of the play is moving, toward mediocrity. As the mediocrity is permeating, the NFL; the ticket prices are being reduced, because the demand, for tickets is not being as great.&lt;BR&gt;Even better, the money, which is being directed, toward the NFL owners, from the television networks, is declining, as the television ratings, which are attached, to the NFL games, decline.&lt;BR&gt;Money, previously directed, toward the NFL, is being directed, toward more useful purchases. The society, to say nothing, of the ticket purchasers, families, is the beneficiary.&lt;BR&gt;Here , we are  observing, via the surmising, of a scenario, a positive, hidden, benefit, which is accruing, as minority control, of the majority members, of the USA population, is being eliminated.&lt;BR&gt;There are other arguments, which are below the surface.&lt;BR&gt;Remember, truth is, often, harsh, and truth is, often, ugly; sometimes, truth is both.&lt;BR&gt;With this thought, at the forefront, we, the USA citizens, are needing, such to rethink the premise: majority members are not demanding, respect and submission, from the minorities, without reciprocating, respect, for the minorities.&lt;BR&gt;As the majority members are holding, the, current, perspective, which is being attached, for mutual respect, between the majority and the minorities, the minority control, of majority members is continuing.&lt;BR&gt;What can boomers do, such to correct, this situation? True, if, you are a deprived, boomer, who is being victimized, by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the, various, affimative action, legislations, which are being responsible, for the minority entitlements, which are abounding; you are being permanently lost.&lt;BR&gt;However, there is still time; boomers, use your superior numbers, mandate, via legislation, this minority control situation is being removed. The, resulting, legislating is, hopefully, fostering, the development, of a status quo, in the USA, wherein a true democracy, which is benefiting, the majority, is the first and the only goal.&lt;BR&gt;Such a democracy is benefiting, the, children, of boomers, and the grandchildren, of boomers.&lt;BR&gt;Through thousands, of years, this, minority control, situation is proving itself; illogical, painful and unworkable; this condition is, properly, being eradicated, now, throughout the world.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is aware; intense focus is being directed, toward, Black History Month, during, February 2008.&lt;BR&gt;The blacks are comprising, &lt;A HREF="http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/p20-541.pdf" TARGET="_BLANK"&gt;&lt;B&gt;less than thirteen percent&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;, of the USA population, during, 2003. More than half, of the blacks, are situated in metropolitan areas and/or the southern states. Black population, within these specified areas, is, sometimes, greater than fifty perceint, of the total census. Rumors are persisting; the blacks are not cooperating, with complete compliance, as census numbers are being collected. The possibility; the black population, within the USA, is partially "hidden" does continue, such to exist.&lt;BR&gt;Perhaps, during, February 2008, the white, USA citizens are experiencing, the "Senator Obama Effect," wherein, the statistics, which are driving, reality, are being skewed. Portends, of things to come?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is reflecting, upon the black experience, in the USA, via this essay.&lt;BR&gt;As we know, the USA Civil War is existing, from 1861 to 1865. This conflict is claiming, the lives, of  &lt;A HREF="http://www.civilwarhome.com/casualties.htm" TARGET="_BLANK"&gt;&lt;B&gt;618,000 combatants&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. This census' membership is being drawn, from Union and Confederate forces members. Most, of these combatants, are &lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/blacks-civil-war/index.html?template=print" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;white race, members&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;The Civil War deaths exceed, the total deaths, from all other wars; the Revolution through Vietnam &lt;BR&gt;Basic Analysis With A Proposition:&lt;BR&gt;1. The Civil War is claiming, 618,000 lives&lt;BR&gt;2. The Civil War is being fought, about slavery being continued, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;3. Slavery, in the USA, during, the nineteenth century, is about, black people.&lt;BR&gt;Therefore, we may advance the proposition: black people are being accountable, through the happenstance, of time and place, and while being without input, for the deaths, of  618,000 individuals.&lt;BR&gt;These, aforementioned, individuals are mostly white, North American Continent dwelling, human beings.&lt;BR&gt;Two hundred years, after the Civil War is being completed, which is to say, in the year 2065 + / -, the, USA white population is, aware; the white majority is becoming, &lt;A HREF="http://books.google.com/books?id=PJ1HNUIjXtsC&amp;pg=PA283&amp;lpg=PA283&amp;dq=future+white+plurality&amp;source=web&amp;ots=Hs02wUpMh4&amp;sig=RjUzbeBbibkwGVotmfJ9g2vEVkM#PPA283,M1" TARGET="_BLANK"&gt;&lt;B&gt;the white plurality&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;The question: Is another bloodbath forthcoming, as the majority is becoming, aware this change is occurring?&lt;BR&gt;Remember, human beings are a species, who are killing, are own kind, and are killing, for sport. In addition, the animal is not comfortable, with species’ minority members, who are presenting, with a difference, such as color, which is setting, the minority apart, from the, majority members, of the species. Legislate, as you wish; these, defining attributes are not changing, through evolution, before, hundreds more, years are passing.&lt;BR&gt;These attributes are, perhaps, not changing, at any time, even as evolution is continuing, such to occur, within the human species.&lt;BR&gt;Rarely, do we observe, a white man maintaining, a male-female relationship, which is involving, a black woman, as the chosen partner. However, the male-female relationships, which are being comprised, of a black man and a white woman, are becoming, more common, for our observations. These, mixed race, relationships bring forth offspring, which are being identified, as  &lt;A HREF="http://www.canadafirst.net/to_index/americas_demographic_future.html" TARGET="_BLANK"&gt; &lt;B&gt;"blended”&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;These, "blended," individuals are adding, an additional facet, of complexity, for the, forthcoming, situation.&lt;BR&gt;The second question: As “push is coming to shove,” how is the white majority classifying, these blended people? Are these individuals being white, or are these individuals being black?&lt;BR&gt;As 2065 is moving, closer; the black minority is, possibly, becoming, stronger. The Senator Obama phenomenon is, possibly, constituting, a starting point, which is leading, forward, into significant changes, which are adversely affecting, the white majority.&lt;BR&gt;Do remember, there is, only, so much, of significance, which is available, for dividing.&lt;BR&gt;Deprivation, of the majority race, via a significant emergence, of a minority race, without an accompanying, forward evolution, of the entire species, is, perhaps, leading, the USA, into another tragedy, which is eclipsing, the USA Civil War, as magnitude is being measured.&lt;BR&gt;Change, within the status quo, among the various, human races, found within the USA, is, maybe, being tempered, with a keen appreciation, for the reality, which is being driven,  via the strengths, and the shortcomings, which are inherent, within the human species.&lt;BR&gt;Frustrating, the beast, via legislation, which is one-hundred and eighty degrees, away from human nature, is, perhaps, increasing, the likelihood; violence is erupting, between the whites and the blacks, once again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-114216215765419998?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/114216215765419998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=114216215765419998&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/114216215765419998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/114216215765419998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2008/09/minorities-controlling-majorities-stop.html' title='Minorities Controlling Majorities - Stop This Practice!'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616711441582830422.post-5316310655890990474</id><published>2008-09-14T10:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T10:26:48.647-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2008 Golden H Award Candidate - Eliot Spitzer</title><content type='html'>&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;The Great Hypocrite Society of North America is bestowing, the, March 2008 Poster Boy, title upon Eliot Spitzer. Mr. Spitzer is enjoying, a high ranking, among the candidates, for the 2008 Golden H award, as well.&lt;BR&gt;The Spitzer revelations are exposing, many flaws, which are being found, in the thinking, which is dominant, within the USA.&lt;BR&gt;Other, of the unpleasant truths which are abounding, within the USA culture, are being confirmed, as this fiasco is being exposed.&lt;BR&gt;Mr. Spitzer is a member, of an arrogant minority. Through thousands, of years, this minority's members are revealing, themselves, as being false, in the, public images they are projecting.The, specified minority is  being disrespectful, of the majority. Mr. Spitzer's minority group is being, greedy, while garnering, wealth amounts, which are greater, proportionally, than are the amounts, for which this minority is being entitled. Finally, this minority's members are presenting, frequently, as being compulsive liars.&lt;BR&gt;The questions: Why is the majority, in the USA, along with the majorities, in other nations, permitting, the accrual, of disproportionate power and wealth, for this minority? Are we learning, not to allow this situation's perpetuation, ever?&lt;BR&gt;Within the USA, there is an ongoing problem; some significant part, of the society is not accepting, the premise, which is permitting, the sale of sex, for money.&lt;BR&gt;This enterprise is continuing, for centuries, if not millennia. Sex for money, as a legal enterprise, is presenting, as being a source, of tax revenue, for the USA. Said revenue is being needed, at this time.&lt;BR&gt;We ponder, the situation, wherein, a young man, or a young woman, is being employed, as a waiter, or as a waitress. Each work period, while pursuing this service profession, is being defined, as including, the lifting, and carrying, of heavily laden serving trays. The work period is including, multiple hours, which are being marked, by constant motion, on the part of the servers, as the servers are continuing, such to walk about. Injury is possible, as this profession is being pursued. Often, the serving person is receiving, less than is the, federally mandated, minimum wage, and is being dependant, upon "tips," such to earn a wage which is providing, for clothing, food, medical care, mobility and shelter.&lt;BR&gt;Most important, a serving person, for whom the age of 40 years is arriving, is being &lt;B&gt;LESS VALUABLE&lt;/B&gt;, as a serving person, than is the serving person, for whom, the age of 25 years is arriving.&lt;BR&gt;The point: The serving person is selling, their body, as they earn wages, and the serving person is becoming,  a less valuable employee, as the serving person is becoming, more aged.&lt;BR&gt;This physical dissipation, of the serving person, is a condition, which is afflicting, the prostitute, as well.&lt;BR&gt;However, in the USA, with hypocrisy, at the helm, prostitution employment is, for the most part, illegal; serving person employment is not illegal.&lt;BR&gt;This nation is being, in the grip, of hypocrisy, for a, very long, time. If, the USA is continuing, as the world's leading nation, throughout the twenty-first century, the removal of hypocrisy is a positive step, among many needed changes, while this goal is being sought.&lt;BR&gt;If, the prostitution business, and employment, within same, is becoming, legalized, within the USA, additional benefits are forthcoming. &lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is holding the opinions; child molestation, divorce, marriage for the wrong reasons and rape are, being reduced, as sex seekers are being provided, with legal, regulated, businesses, which are catering, toward the sex seekers' needs.&lt;BR&gt;Employees, for whom, good wages are being in place, are existing, as prostitution is being a, legal enterprise. Tax revenues are increasing, as the prostitution industry is being brought, into the fold, of legitimate industries. The, USA, crime rate is decreasing; sexual frustration is breeding anger. This anger is providing, the catalyst, for crimes' commissions.&lt;BR&gt;In addition, the possibility is existing; the number, of poorly paid serving persons, is being reduced. The sex seekers are no longer having, need, for frequenting, "pick-up," places, such as bars, grills and lounges.The, always difficult, process, which is finding sex, is simplified, as the, legal, prostitution industry is being empowered.&lt;BR&gt;The, USA, society, as a whole, is benefiting, directly and indirectly, as realism is permeating, the minds of the majority. This, refreshed, mind set is motivating, the citizens, such to demand; prostitution is being legalized, within the USA.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-5316310655890990474?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/5316310655890990474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=5316310655890990474&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/5316310655890990474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/5316310655890990474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2008/09/2008-golden-h-award-candidate-eliot.html' title='2008 Golden H Award Candidate - Eliot Spitzer'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616711441582830422.post-4611584402344956502</id><published>2008-09-14T10:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T10:23:13.128-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Federal Inheritance Tax - Keep It! - Expand It!</title><content type='html'>&lt;P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"&gt;We are remembering; eighty percent, of the USA wealth, is being controlled, by twenty percent, of the USA population. The distribution, of the annual USA income, is more severe; the top ten percent, of the income recipients, are controlling, fifty percent of the income.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is holding, the belief; these inequitable distributions, of income and wealth, are the fundamental problems, which are affecting, the USA society.&lt;BR&gt;The results, of these affects, are negative.&lt;BR&gt;The negative results are including: crime; substance abuse, malaise; declining effectiveness, of public education; inability, such to function, as a thinking citizen and rational consumer.&lt;BR&gt;Yes, TBBN is aware; life is unfair. Yes, &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is understanding, life is comprised, of random occurrences, many, of which, are negative. &lt;BR&gt;Yes, &lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; does appreciate; the majority, of the citizens, are, unfortunately, accepting, these inequities, as the status quo.&lt;BR&gt;In addition, this same citizen majority is reluctant, such to use their superior numbers, united in an effort, which is forcing, a change. Said change is removing, these deplorable, income and property, distributions’ conditions. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;TBBN&lt;/B&gt; is a long time advocate, of the Federal Estate Tax. Indeed, &lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; is advocating, the modifications, of the Federal Estate Tax.&lt;BR&gt;The modifications are fulfilling, two goals.&lt;BR&gt;First, the tax is being extended, such that the tax is impacting, the estates, which are being valued, at less than two million dollars.&lt;BR&gt;Second, the tax is being modified, such that the passing, of wealth, from a family's generation, into the same family's succeeding generation, is being eliminated.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Baby Boomer News&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt; does believe; each individual, whether operating, as a proprietor; a partnership; a corporation; a worker is accumulating, all, which is within legal grasp, during, the individual’s lifetime.&lt;BR&gt;However, as the accumulator is dying; the accumulated wealth is being returned, into the society.&lt;BR&gt;Inheritance, of real and personal properties, as we do know same to exist, at this time, is being eliminated. Familial heirs and outside the family heirs are not existing.&lt;BR&gt;Now, the Federal Estate Tax is not effective. The tax is permitting, the "twenty-percents" such to pass wealth from family generation, into, another, family generation.&lt;BR&gt;An informative essay, using easily understood, non legal, prose, is explaining, some methods, which are being used, by the "twenty-percents," as they are skirting and avoiding, the Federal Estate Tax. The hyperlink, which is contained, herein, does open the essay, for your perusal.&lt;BR&gt;The essay is using, as an example, the machinations, which are, possibly, being implemented, by six stockholders. These six stockholders are the sole owners, of a National Football League (NFL) franchise.&lt;BR&gt;These, current, owners are negotiating, the sale of the franchise. The franchise is being valued, between 800 Million dollars and 1.2 Billion dollars.&lt;BR&gt; This business entity is a, closely held, private, corporation; the public is not involved, in the ownership, of the franchise.&lt;BR&gt;The franchise’s stock is being held, by five brothers, and one outside family&lt;/P&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08223/903229-431.stm" TARGET="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Estate Taxes Pose Little Threat&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;HR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/616711441582830422-4611584402344956502?l=babyboomernews1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/feeds/4611584402344956502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=616711441582830422&amp;postID=4611584402344956502&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/4611584402344956502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/616711441582830422/posts/default/4611584402344956502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babyboomernews1.blogspot.com/2008/09/federal-inheritance-tax-keep-it-expand.html' title='Federal Inheritance Tax - Keep It! - Expand It!'/><author><name>The Baby Boomer News</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01081096578218766917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
