It worked. Holds true today. My monthly nut is a few hundred dollars. Anything we own we paid cash for.

If this whole credit/economic crunch didn't happen now, it would have happened some time soon. Other than the hightech melt around 2000, we have been on an unsustainable growth binge worldwide, and watched the greedheads deconstruct small manufacturing and local business that created and sustained independent local economies. It was like everyone was on credit cocaine. So we need to get back to basics. Watch for a collapse of mega retail. Over consumption. the 3 car family with a TV in every room. the cell phone for every kid. $200 running shoes and jeans. Get simple, get small.

I actually think this is going to be good over the long haul. And I think a lot of the GP people I know will be able to handle this. Nothing like being in the arts to learn how to live on nothing. We've already been schooled on the basics of survival on no money. It's the credit crazy middleclass with silverplated spoons in their ass that are gonna be crying bigtime.

From Ralph Nader:

Ask why they (our politicians and government officials who approved and wrote the bailout) didn’t require speculators to fund their own bailout while you, the taxpayer, pay 5-10 percent sales tax for necessities. Speculators buy $500 trillion of securities derivatives each year and don’t pay one penny. A mere 1/10 of 1 percent sales tax on purchases of these derivatives would raise $500 billion per year to pay for their bailout. Let the speculators fund their own bailout.

Why not tax securities derivatives to pay for the bailout? « The Radical Mormon

is this too logical?

Is it just me, or does this whole crisis feel like a scam?

The powers that be control this shit, I don't believe that they don't. I drove by & gas today is at $2.99,... this is the first time I've seen a 2 in a gas price since,... oh,... the last election?

I feel like Paulson & crew dreamed up this scheme so Bush can split town after giving his oil cronies the biggest bump in human history with a trillion dollar bonus. It stinks & I don't like it.

[MaximumFluoride]

I agree. But I don't think it's Bush. I think it's everyone around him who got him in. It's he and his fathers cronies.

i almost agree with you on this.

the stock market is bullshit. it's speculation. there's not one piece of hard data that controls their decision. people are insane. why does everyone think the economy is going to fix itself in 24 hrs?

shit takes years to take effect.

everyone needs to RELAX. have a grilled cheese sandwich.
