I ran across the following video on my homepage on YouTube earlier today. It details some of the predictions that were made by Representative Ron Paul the Great (R-TX) and Peter Schiff (head of Euro Pacific Capital) about the economy

I had hoped to do a post on this yesterday, but I wanted to actually see the bill before I did anything on it. It took them a while to get the bill language up, and I found out that it was about 110 pages long (it is available here if you’re interested). Also, here’s the bill that the Senate didn’t vote to pass (it needed 60% to pass).

The following is Representative Ron Paul’s (R-TX) statements regarding government bailouts of financial institutions, with my analysis sprinkled throughout his comments:
Many Americans today are asking themselves how the economy got to be in such a bad spot.

So I was watching FOX news just now and they gave the statistic that “Detroit graduates only 66% of seniors,” emphasizing that only 66% of the kids who make it all the way through to their senior year actually graduate. So that means that the graduation rate of kids who enter Detroit public schools at kindergarten is probably below 50%! If you carry out the 66% rate down to just 10th grade (assuming that 33% drop out each year, like they do in their senior year), you’d have a rate of 28.75% of sophomores will graduate.

Alright, so I was looking around Senator Chuck Hagel’s (R-NE) website to see about his new book, and I stumbled across this press release:
Hagel Statement on Vote Against Senate Economic Stimulus Package

February 7th, 2008 - U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel issued the following statement today after voting against the passed United States Senate economic stimulus package:“In the last few years we have overbuilt, overmortgaged, overleveraged and abused credit. The market is now self-correcting.“

OK, so over the weekend, me and some friends got bored and wanted to play Monopoly, but nobody had the game up here at college, so we decided to go out and try the new Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition.
It’s pretty cool - you put the credit card in, and the calculator senses a bump on the card (each card’s bump is different & some have 2), and it keeps track of how much money you have. It makes the game go a whole lot faster.
