Listening

Great-grandfather Brewer used to build homes in Denver in the 1900s. When I was a teenager of 15 - remember listening to him talk about work, honesty and doing the right thing. To Grandpa Brewer his word was like the things he built - meant to last, to be true and mean something. His middle name was Ernest and to him it was a name that stood for virtue. In popular culture we hear that is old people's talk and not meant to be listen to.

Today, in the news we hear about Acorn, where you can go if you are a prostitute and selling children for sex - so you can buy a house. House is never a home.

Regret: Wish, I had listen more to my Grandpa for he actually had something to say and live by....

All you that love the Obama - here comes the Misery Index and Jimmy Carter the peanut guy

• 1 Dwight D. Eisenhower 6.26
• 3 John F. Kennedy 7.14
• 2 Lyndon B. Johnson 6.77
• 7 Richard Nixon 10.57
• 10 Gerald Ford 14.93
• 11 Jimmy Carter 20.27
• 9 Ronald Reagan 11.19
• 8 George H. W. Bush 9.68
• 4 Bill Clinton 8.80
• 6 George W. Bush 8.10

During the Presidential campaign of 1976, Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter made frequent references to the Misery Index, which by the summer of 1976 was at 13.57%. Carter stated that no man responsible for giving a country a misery index that high had a right to even ask to be President. Carter won the 1976 election. However, by 1980, when President Carter was running for re-election against Ronald Reagan, the Misery Index had reached an all-time high of 21.98%. Carter lost the election to Reagan.

Credit Score

We've been warned what a low Credit Score can do. What about Banks and their credit score? Look at their record: bank insolvencies, government bail out, Federal Reserve causing the Great Depression.

Isn't it a bit ironic... Banks have the nerve to look at our credit score? It is the consumer who pays for their bad business practices either through higher taxes as well as being hit with higher rates.
