Reply #21: Here's an experiment for you... [View All]

Since you can't seem to get the adjusted (propaganda) values released
by various sources to give you a clear view of the existence of the
common American.

1. Take $769.00 ($40,000/52week).
2. Randomly pick a location in the U.S. from a map. (No closer than 100 miles
from your usual residence)
3. Go there and live for a week on roughly $100 a day.

I propose that this will take some of the wind from your rosy sails.

The amount is generous as it doesn't include the usual dependents, insurance
and interest charges carried by the typical wage earner.

It would be difficult at best, but, if it's not hard enough for you
the terms could always be extended to the breaking point. To simulate
the arbitrary "fees" charged by various non-governmental agencies.

No, I am not a Doom *seeker*... I have *concern* for those who have less.

I see them in dangerous trouble and I've always been taught the best way
to help myself is to help others.

A better investment to survive economic hard times is not to invest in
gold, but, to invest in people.
