Just a bunch of things to consider

Sorry, I do not have the source for this data, but I would not be surprised by its verification. .
U.S. Statistical Map:
Make sure you read to the bottom … Quite an eye opener!

New York
Maine
South Carolina
These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed! Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What’s the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000,which averages out to $137.13 a day.
To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00
an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.
Furthermore:
There are actually two messages here. The first is very interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding – and explains a lot. A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in “excellent health”:
U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%
And now..for the last statistic:
National Health Insurance?
U.S. NO (close)
England YES
Canada YES
Check the last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president’s cabinet… Who had worked in the private business sector…prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business…not a government job.
Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt………….. 38%
Taft………………………..40%
Wilson ………………….. 52%
Harding…………………..49%
Coolidge………………….48%
Hoover…………………… 42%
F. Roosevelt……………..50%
Truman……………………50%
Eisenhower………………57%
Kennedy………………….30%
Johnson…………………..47%
Nixon………………………53%
Ford………………………..42%
Carter……………………..32%
Reagan……………………56%
GH Bush………………….51%
Clinton ……………………39%
GW Bush…………………55%
Obama……… 8%
This helps explain the incompetence of this administration: ONLY 8% of them…have ever worked in private business!
That’s right!
Only Eight Percent—the least, by far,
of the last 19 presidents!
And these people are trying to tell our big corporations…how to run their business? How can the president of a major nation and society…the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business…when he’s never worked for one? Or about jobs…when he has never really had one? And, when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?
They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs. Or … As “community organizers.”
Pass this on, because we’ll NEVER see these facts…in the main stream media.
Things Lost and Things Gained, What a difference they can make!
Mathematics & Dark Age
We tend to judge far too much by our own times. What cannot be overlooked was the lack of mathematics following the dark age. When numbers were Roman numerals, bookkeeping and any calculation was not supportive of international accounting. Interesting enough was where pornography enabled the video streaming it was gambling that gave birth to mathematics. Vices often inspire innovation.
It was the publication in 1202 of “Liber Abaci” (Book of Abacus) by Leonardo Pisano or Bonacci (1l70-l240AD) of Pisa known to most as Fibonacci. When Fibonacci published his Liber Abaci that introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals, this method that allowed calculations was not taught in schools and was unknown in Christian circles except among a very small group of intellectuals who had access to translations of the Arab mathematician al-Khwarizmi (780-850 AD).
Fibonacci’s Liber Abaci introduced vital concepts that enable banking to emerge. The first seven chapters dealt with notation introducing the idea of a place value whereas the position of a figure determines where it is a unit such as 10, 100, 1000 and so on. He also introduced the use of numerals in arithmetical calculations. These techniques were ground-breaking for a culture that lost its identity with the fall of Rome. Fibonacci then illustrates practical problems how to calculate profit margin, moneychanging, barter, conversion of weights and measures, partnerships, and last but not least interest. He even introduced some geometry and algebra. This work was so earth-shattering, it became the topic of discussion and caught the attention of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II (1215-1250)(King of Sicily 1198-1250).
Fibonacci solved the problems submitted to him as a test where the third problem x3+2×2+10x=20 (modern notation), he solved using the Babylonian method based upon sexagesimal fractions (base 60), which when translated into modern decimals is 1.3688081075. Fibonacci is strangely best known for his sequence derived from a pair of multiplying rabbits (1, I, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 .•. ) where the progression follows what has become known as the “golden ratio” 1.6180 that was discovered by the University of Glascow mathematician Robert Simson in 1753.
The Arabs and the Jews were always highly educated and were not victims of superstition of the times. Thus, the knowledge of mathematics was highly restricted to these groups back then. Jews were not just moneylenders, but they had also been captains of ships where Christians were ignorant of mathematics. Therefore, Fibonacci opened the door for capitalism by first creating a knowledge base of mathematics introducing the decimal system to Europe. Finally, the secrets of mathematics were starting to resurface from the Dark Ages.
If we did go into a Dark Age, knowledge seems to evaporate. The question remains, what knowledge will evaporate this time if we go back that far?
It Is Always About the Money
Red Light Traffic Cameras & Money
The huge difference between the USA and Europe happens to center on the criminal trial of Sir Walter Raleigh. After the death of Queen Elizabeth March 23, 1603. Raleigh was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London within months on the 19th of July. Raleigh was tried in the Great Hall of Winchester Castle for treason, on November 17th, 1603 for his alleged involvement in the Main Plot against King James.
You were not entitled to a lawyer and you had to conduct your own defense. The evidence used against Raleigh was the signed and sworn confession of his friend Henry Brooke under threat of death by the King. Raleigh requested that Cobham should appear in court to allow Raleigh to confront his accuser; “[Let] my accuser come face to face, and be deposed. Were the case but for a small copyhold, you would have witnesses or good proof to lead the jury to a verdict; and I am here for my life!”
Raleigh was denied his right to confrontation and was summarily convicted. King James spared his life, yet he remained imprisoned in the Tower until 1616 where he wrote his famous first volume of The Historie of the World published 1614.
Because of this famous trial of Sir Walter Raleigh, the American Revolution included within the Sixth Amendment expressly state: “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him.” Unlike Europe, in American you cannot get a speeding ticket from a camera because you must have the right to confront your accuser.
After a 5 year pilot program which began in 2009 and operated in about two dozen New Jersey municipalities, came to an end on in December 2014, cities were crying they wanted the money. Towns big and small have raked in millions of dollars in fines since the program began. Some busy intersections have produced more than 20,000 citations in a single year. But all they could do is fine you, no points on your license. WHY? Because you do not have the right of confrontation so it would be unconstitutional thanks to Sir Walter Raleigh. The red light cameras have caused more accidents when people abruptly stop on yellow lights unexpectedly. They have done nothing for safety, only raised money for broke municipalities. You can even tune into cameras to see traffic.
The end of Merkel, Germany and the EU
Merkel May be Forced From Office Over Refugees
Merkel’s refugee policy has really divided Europe, no less her own country. This issue appears staged to bring about her downfall. It was 17 days ahead of the ECM turning point on September 13 (2 x 8.6) when Merkel reimposed border controls; the cornerstone of Europe was to be the freedom of movement. She has certainly divided Europe. It is starting to appear that her days are numbered.he end of Merkel, Germany and the EU
Wall Street’s Manchurian Candidate?
Now this is scary!
These trends are very hard if not impossible to stop and the next one is going to be significant — either real freedom or 1984!
The Sixth Wave
Yes, we will be addressing the seriousness of the culmination of the last three waves. 2015.75 was the start of the Big Bang — the midpoint in this immediate 51.6 year wave. This sequence of the 309.6 year wave began with the revolution against the monarchy; what comes this time is either real Democracy or authoritarianism. Government is doing everything in its power to achieve the latter.
They KNOW what is coming. Everything they created is crumbling before their eyes. Socialism has been robbing the people to further the corruption in government. It has lowered the living standards and has subsidized education and medicine to the point where they no longer need to be competitive. These are two areas that will need serious reform. Tracking money and people will not prevent the demise of the political-economic system we find ourselves within. What comes after this crisis is the unanswered question.
What makes money worth something? This is a good account of what it is.
Mainstream vs. Austrian Economics
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I believe the difference between the Austrian school of economics and mainstream economics is that mainstream economists believe recessions are inherent to capitalism and can be controlled by manipulation where the Austrian school argues the causation is fiat money with or without central banking. You seem to ascribe to something in between. Can you explain?
JZ
ANSWER: Both schools are wrong for both assume that the business cycle began with the industrial revolution. The mainstream group follows Marx and Keynes and assumes the business cycle is a flaw within the modern industrial economy; the Austrian schools are fixated on assuming this is caused by paper money.
Both are DEAD WRONG. This is the same limited thinking as global warming where nobody looks at the data before 1900. Forest fires and volcanoes put up more CO2 than cars. Here the assumption is that the business cycle was somehow born with the Industrial Revolution and paper money. Sorry, any investigation of history reveals there has ALWAYS been a business cycle and its cause has nothing to do with the Industrial Revolution or fiat money. It is inherent within human nature, and we swing political systems left and right based upon the same inherent emotional tendencies of people. There will be people who flatly disagree with me that only gold is money. No matter what evidence I put forth, they will never change. The same is true of diehard republicans or democrats. Some just hate the other and they cannot even explain why they belong to those groups.
The problem with both camps is that their assumptions begin with the Industrial Age. Neither has done extensive research before this period nor have they ever bothered to look. They are fixed in their ideas and everything begins with that era. There is no testing their theories over thousands of years. It is like looking at the Dow Jones only since 2011 and concluding it always must rise.
The idea that fiat money is responsible for the business cycle is not very practical when paper-like monetary systems existed in ancient times, such as when Egypt issued coins after being conquered by Alexander the Great. Paper money was also in China, and in fact, China never issued precious metal coinage and their currency was always fiat since the emperor was God’s representative who declared what value money would be, which is precisely fiat. Fiat can be tangible coins that are debased. Gold would be fiat if government declared its value is fixed at whatever price. Fiat is the declaring of value irrespective of any commodity value.
Gold has NO real commodity value outside of demand nor does silver. Both were totally dependent upon demand, based upon desirability like art. Cattle and bronze had a tangible value for both served a consumption purpose as food or as plows and swords. Therefore, tangible money must have a “use” other than money.
Gold and silver were prized objects but had no utilitarian “use” value outside of jewelry. Gold was desirable but was not a vital commodity that served a purpose beyond its prized status like art. Therefore, numerous monetary systems have existed that were not gold based since the medium of exchange had to have a “use” value other than as money. That was the core of all barter systems – I give you this for that.
As far as mainstream economists assuming that government can manipulate demand, even Paul Volcker admitted in his “Rediscovery of the Business Cycle” that this idea of “new economics” has failed.
I believe more in Adam Smith and the invisible hand. Money is whatever people say it is. Dictating money shall be gold, seashells, cattle, paper, or slave girls as St. Patrick reported in Ireland, is still fiat – the dictating by government what shall be money. Money is not a store of value; it is a medium of exchange. In that case, it is merely an agreed upon medium to supplant barter. That’s all.
We have two camps arguing with each other and at the core of both is the assumption that government is in control one way or another. I disagree. The people are in control and those in power are there ONLY until they go too far. A revolution always takes place. There are no exceptions throughout history. In the end, the people must consent to be ruled and it must be a rule that is fair and equitable. Whenever politicians, dictators, or kings forget that they require the consent of the people to rule, that is when they fall.
If you got this far I have posted a solution here on a New Form of Money
This is 100% true as any accountant will tell you when you have negative CASH you are done!
Yellen Tells Congress Negative Interest Rates Are Possible
Reuters has reported that Yellen told a House of Representatives committee when testifying before Congress: “Potentially anything – including negative interest rates – would be on the table. But we would have to study carefully how they would work here in the U.S. context.”
Yellen may have been placating Congress for negative rates would wipe out the elderly entirely. They have failed to work in Europe in the slightest.
Negative interest rates are not working in Europe. Even in Switzerland, hoarding of cash is becoming a national pass-time. This entire idea demonstrates that those who would be king, do not understand even how the economy functions.
We are back to Thomas Paine’s Common Sense that inspired the American Revolution. He explained that government was evil because it operates from a NEGATIVE perspective to always PUNISH the people. This is the only way those in government ever perceive their power – it is always to demand and punish, never to work with society to comprehend what the problem might be.
Taxes are too high and the standard of living has declined. Those in power will ONLY raise taxes because they are incapable of reform. The year 2017 will cross the Rubicon. The inflation they are desperately trying to create will arrive, but not in the form they desire.TH
Democrat’s lose the ‘flyover’ but consolidate control of DC
From Rachel Stoltzfoos, The Daily Caller
The damage the Obama presidency has done to Democrats in Congress and state legislatures has been widely reported on over the last 7 years, but, until Wednesday, no one had summed it up in just 140 characters (or less).
Republican operative Rory Cooper tied a bow on Democrats’ fall from grace with a Tweet that simply tallied up the losses.
“Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats,” Cooper tweeted. “That’s some legacy.”
