1971 when Nixon took us off the gold standard was the beginning of the end for this country. With nothing but a wink and a promise to back the currency, there was no other direction for things to go but downward. Without all of the funny money, things would be a lot different I imagine. "Follow the money" folks, if you can, with all the shell games being played.

So much of what is happening is out of our control, which is why I have to constantly remind myself to focus on what I can control... which is not much some days, but I digress...

Our government is full of grifters and thieves, and dare I say, traitors. Just look at New England's heating supply problem. While sitting on one of the world's largest gas supplies, it chose instead to follow the 'green wave' and import its natural gas...from Russia, Tobago... Think about that for a minute (or 20 -3 second attention spans, if you will). I have no idea how much fuel, diesel fuel mind you, it takes to ship the containers of LNG to Boston's harbor, but it is mind boggling!

These folks running the show(s) are either dumber than rocks or they have an agenda, part of which is to end the middle class while also filling their personal coffers. History does really rhyme...
