Two things that seem to garble the headlines, outside of the last year&#8217;s economic quagmire. Two things that despite the <a class='wikinvest-suggestion-link' articletype='industry' articletitle='TWVkaWE,_0' target='_blank' href='http://www.wikinvest.com/industry/Media_%26_Entertainment' >media</a>&#8216;s best effort to explain, the more people seem to be be completely confused on how mad, how excited or why they should feel anything at all, the less the really understand what will be the true protocol for both.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve yet to hear one reason on why people are collectively worried about public health care, from the media and I&#8217;ve yet to hear one good reason on why American people should have to pay $3000 for a  leg cast, from its opposers. Either way, people who are for, disagree on how free heath care should be  and the others, well, they just don&#8217;t like public funding to affect their, um&#8230;social security income umm..errr, hmmm. And personally, no one is really explaining what we get out of all of this, if it passes or not *cough it will*.<br />
<span id="more-1401"></span></p>
<p>For cash for clunkers, like I&#8217;d been saying for a while now, a car over $25K, albeit an expensive car means squat nowdays, if it doesn&#8217;t get over 19 miles to the gallon, and I&#8217;m pretty sure in about 2-3yrs, every car, praised and driven off the lot , by the time the owners pay off these new semi new cars with their Cars Rebate System, those will be just as illegitimate as the cars that replaced them. I can&#8217;t wait to see the emissions lines then. But here is the catch, the very clever catch and reason behind all of this&#8230; no matter how much we all complain to disagree or not, this will happen and without option. And unemployment, once seen as a bad thing, will become the easy manner to accept everything people now think they hate.</p>
<p><strong>Cash For Clunkers</strong><br />
The car industry, once over supplied with cars, as much a month ago, was met with demand for the first time in nearly a year. Co-winkie? Nope, with everyone turning in their cars for rebates, it sent a shock pulse through the car industry. Giving it sorta of a reboot and making auto lots, popular again. With the government, on the back-end still managing the operating fiances of the auto industry, cash for clunkers too me seems completely necessary from their end, to get not only a return on investment after bailing out US <a class='wikinvest-suggestion-link' articletype='industry' articletitle='QXV0b21ha2Vycw,,_0' target='_blank' href='http://www.wikinvest.com/industry/Auto_Makers' >automakers</a>, but forcing the transition of new, seemingly better auto production on a consumer who, technically couldn&#8217;t afford it but now, some how has found a way to invest in a new car, just to drive&#8230;not to their jobs but to the unemployment line.</p>
<p><strong>Unemployment, Health Care&#8217;s Best Friend</strong><br />
Ah unemployment. The true catalyst for making universal health care necessary. I mean if those government jobs for building new transits and infrastructures work out, people will flock to those jobs if there is nothing else for them&#8230;sorry, its a fact. And if the main job supplier is the government, like it or not, the government will be the main supplier for&#8230;health care. So like the Cash for Clunkers, and even the bank bailouts, its all clear now. Their decision is NOT based on your investment, its based on how the government foresees its spending in the next 20-30 years. And if your in need of their support, you ain&#8217;t got a word to say about it&#8230;period. And if they have to pay, trust, they will want to make the rules in their favor, meaning, we&#8217;re destined for universal health care no matter what.</p>

THe suspicion of the Fed was on my mind but, they take it a step further. I&#8217;m not even trying to get caught up cause its serious. But, the Federal Reserve drama will include a November 22, 2008 national protest of the Fed, purposely destroying the US economy and monetary system.</p>
<p>The part thats crazy, most DO NOT know the government does not own our money, a company called the Federal Reserve does. What has gotten me is that, why now? Why now for the public to care? My guess because of the dissolving economy. I dunno but, it seems like its too late and the plan in is motion to do whatever damage was intended. I&#8217;m never one for mass protest because tasks forces are so advanced now, it seems like a double edge sword.</p>
<p>If you are interested, check them out but,&#8221;I neuw nuting!&#8221; btw, turn your volume down, that song is arghhhherreaeaoerkp.</p>

Why&#8230;because with scaring the freak out of people, comes control. Its sounds backwards but, if everyone runs out the door, doesn&#8217;t that make rounding up easier? Then again, if you stay where you are, your stuck too.. Hmm. I guess its safe to say the time for speaking out has passed. Like I&#8217;ve posted over the past year or so, keep your gaudy gold chains for personal commodity, study your skills, &#8220;slightly&#8221; trust your community leaders, and be aware of the trickery that will be used to turn on each other other.<br />
<span id="more-633"></span></p>
<p>Within days of posting my previous blog about how they reported it was &#8220;good&#8221; rappers were giving away their jewelry..Like i said before, don&#8217;t do it. Soon after, <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/gold--silver-bald-eagle/story.aspx?guid=%7BB7668073-9C05-4EF8-A51F-42110AE5012E%7D&#038;dist=hppr" target="_blank">gold when up</a> dramatically. Now, its too expensive for regulars to invest. What ever you see on TV or on the markets&#8230;.don&#8217;t do it. They want you to freak out. They want you to get ignorant and stop paying your bills or bleed or bank run. I&#8217;d say don&#8217;t get crazy because, for all we know it might get crazier and money might be last thing on our minds.</p>
<p>My stock suggestion as always, learn a trade, value yourself, see what or how you could contribute if your community falls apart. This sounds drastic, I know but go as far as buy American. Does that mean not purchase Mexican food? Last I check, they are on US soil. Buy American means put money towards a localized economy. You have a local toy story, buy your christmas gifts from there. Local farmer..you already know. But, starting a rap label or a clothing line, right now, may not be the best solution. Men and women need to return to their resourceful roots. So, for those that have not had their common sense altered by dumb rap icons and trends, resort back to that unmonitored hip hop and start thinking. You can&#8217;t be useful if your freaking out. And if you are, get the hell away from me cause I&#8217;m being real easy right now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was scared with a curse that some say is actually a gift. I had the inablity to be hired because the assumption is that I&#8217;m gunning for the bosses job. The ironic thing, 9-5 jobs were more like investor vehicles, not a career. I saw myself at a full-time once I graduated as a temp position to build capital and credit. So for the moment, I would work 9-5 and again at 6- 10pm and wake up at 3am and start all over again. Because I really haven&#8217;t worked a full time job without drama, I had been able to maintain and provide a really good life through the means of finding random way to provide for myself, with the reliance of myself. But, that&#8217;s not to say I don&#8217;t want better, I&#8217;m always working for better. Freelancing, cleaning, contracting, consulting, etc has been my way of living. Am I a hustler, I don&#8217;t feel I am because I seem to get tangled up with people who never have my best interest in mind. I&#8217;m not a quitter so that balances it out. Because of that, my skills and drive is always underestimated.</p>
<p>With the money woes now, many people who silenced hard workers, in fear or work competition are really feeling the pinch now and everyone is starting piggy back marks. Its sorta ironic but, making money by doing odd jobs has always been beneath people who have become comfortable in a structured work environment. You would be surprised how many people are &#8220;above&#8221; rolling up their sleves to really do the work needed.   It took the great depression for Bumpy Johnson to shine past the normal 9 to 5, to make Frank Lucas shine, to make Diddy&#8217;s dad to shine to make Diddy himself shine.  Who knows what new legends may break out in these hard times, sans the drugs but still maintaining a substantial life?</p>
<p>Money is tight and every penny counts. For people who have reliable on the cushy safe 9-5, it might be safe to say their value of the dollar may not be as strong as someone who&#8217;s life depends on every dime made. Can that person truly step up and lead. Based on what I&#8217;ve seen they&#8217;re more likely to cheat for money than make it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://urbanmagnate.com/dossier/photo/2332873871/east_of_eden_color.html" class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Small"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2020/2332873871_9977aeca03_m.jpg" alt="East_of_Eden_Color" width="240" height="182" /></a> Most are trying to do what ever it takes to become famous, and possibly successful. The thirsty mind set, may not stop in the hood. It could span to the suburbs and age groups. If you are unfortunate to live in a city with very little success stories generate progressive business ethics. Most mindsets with stay only reach of a an entertainer, model or pro athlete, leaving you stuck with launching some form of success business or brand for the taking. Unfortunately starting one in a tainted atmosphere may require tips you may not hear in a business school.</p>
<p>1. Avoid pro atheles. Despite their money, people forget, most are are rich for their athletic skills, not their business skills.  If their agent didn&#8217;t set it up, don&#8217;t deal with them. Athletes are surrounded by scammers so, they feel, get you before you get me.<br />
<span id="more-579"></span><br />
2. The business <del datetime="2008-09-29T12:07:56+00:00">hoodrat</del> party goer&#8217;s whole goal is to go to the club to network. If they never materialize any contacts after <del datetime="2008-10-04T12:07:07+00:00">2 weeks</del> 3 days of partying, don&#8217;t deal with them. The last thing on their mind is legitimate business responsibility.</p>
<p>3. &#8220;This is wack, that is ghetto.&#8221; If they never have hard physical solutions behind their opinions, don&#8217;t deal with them. Negative people will cause power structure problems later down the line. These people usual plant the seed of doubt to hijack a situation. If they don&#8217;t succeed, they usually secretly enjoy contributing to or seeing people fail.</p>
<p>4. If someone uses words like hustler, entrepreneur, mogul  or jack of all trades as their only form of business lingo, don&#8217;t deal with them. Real hustlers do, and rarely talk about it. </p>
<p>5. Be careful getting baited by someone&#8217;s seemingly famous connections. Join only if money advancements or personal promotion is for certain. These people usually try to hustle free services out of people through the sheer concept of a celeb possibly being involved. If these people are truly connected, a short meeting setup should not be a problem. If they can&#8217;t even get an agent contact, don&#8217;t deal with them.</p>
<p>6. I don&#8217;t care how potentially productive this person may be, don&#8217;t deal with drug users. That means, if they use weed, coke, and even pharmaceuticals. They are never reliable.</p>
<p>7. If an old person comes at you to not invest in your business but to start one, don&#8217;t deal with them. More than likely they&#8217;ve messed over everyone in their own generation and too lazy to self start.</p>
<p>8.  Try your best to not end up borrowing from the local dope boy or street hustler. I&#8217;m sure you go way back but, if you see your business becoming the next google, or something where federal oversight may come into play, don&#8217;t deal with them. </p>
<p>9. Nobody can be your best friend that fast, so watch people who will try to pick your brain. if someone is talking best friend or partner after one week of just casually talking about your business, don&#8217;t deal with them. They&#8217;re looking for fame or at least a quick blueprint for success, courtesy of you.</p>
<p>10. If someone assumes, they are your only window to success, on some &#8220;If you want _______ you have to go through me.&#8221; Don&#8217;t deal with them. These people are usually powerless and need to simulate control. Successful people never have hang ups of directly referring people for potential success. Happy successful people are usually secure with their fortune and get enjoyment of good hard working people in the hood, getting theirs too.</p>
<p>BONUS: Excuses. Granted things happen to people but, if every time you work with this potential partner/customer, there is an excuse &#8220;list&#8221;&#8230;Don&#8217;t deal with them. Multiple excuses for one problem is pathetic and usually used for image conscious people to safe face.  If they are that unlucky, its a matter of time before that bad luck starts rubbing off on their surroundings. If they&#8217;re lying? Your better off not messing with them anyways.</p>
<p>Are there exceptions to this&#8230;from my and others I know experience, noticing the signs in this list, make the real deals glow even brighter. Nothing is ever what is seems cause &#8220;If you really put me on, put yourself on then&#8230;&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://urbanmagnate.com/dossier/photo/2890248386/dr-evil.html" class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3262/2890248386_012326841d.jpg" alt="Dr. Evil" width="350" /></a> I know most of you have been thinking this, as I. With the $700 Billion request, the <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/83bfe68c-8a8f-11dd-a76a-0000779fd18c.html" target="_blank">$25 Billion auto bail out </a>this past week (ya&#8217;ll ain&#8217;t know about that did you lol) and the past bail outs have put the bail out over a trillion, on top of the $9 trillion in debt and the $30 Billion given to world bank bailout overseas, last week. With all of these billions and trillions, its clear we will be very close to that magical number past&#8230;trillion. So, the question is, is there such thing?</p>
<p>Granted your only as smart as your teacher when you a tiny child but when you get older, you get pegged as cheeky when you say batrillion dollars lol. It was bad enough realizing I learned roman numerals from Rocky movies, it would not be realized most people dont really know what number Superbowls occur once we got into the X&#8217;s and V&#8217;s. So, let see&#8230;</p>
<p>We now enter magnitudes..great more math. And as weird as this is me, science, even physics cool..but math, not so much (I know I&#8217;m weird). Now in science you look at short scale logic. Thats how I see numbers. Its how I was able to remember but this whole zillion mess is long scale and after this new era of money numbers, will that change or uncommon long form be mentioned a little more cavalier? So, Million, Billion, Trillion, and now:</p>
<p>a Billard which I know of but, I think a quadrillion is &#8220;technically&#8221; right. From there it seems the long scale stops at a something called a trilliard. ANd under short, the highest is  sextillion, or six sets of 3 zeros. Either way, there is new math on the horizon and I&#8217;m waiting on that A Trilli remix real soon&#8230;hmm I might do it lol.</p>

<blockquote><p>Wake up, America! We&#8217;re on the brink of a financial meltdown. I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions. <a href="http://www.iousathemovie.com/about/" target="_blank">[Read More]</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Though I know the movie covers serious financial problems with the US. After doing my own research and watching a video bio&#8217;s on finance. Its more of the country that&#8217;s in debt, than America&#8217;s individual. I have discovered, our money, the paper we hold in our hand is no different than a paper written with an I.O.U. This is how I came upon this movie. </p>
<p>Our country has been in debt since its formation. Someone who owes $250 on their card, is no different than someone who owes $2000. I can&#8217;t be proud to say, our whole financial system is an illusion. I&#8217;ll go into more but for now, check out the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=IOUSAtheMovie">trailers</a>  and the <a href="http://www.iousathemovie.com/about/" target="_blank"> official site.</a></p>
