Hey ...I read what you said and I will make the effort. I have personally never been in a Walmart because of my personal opinions about the company's size and policies. But I do shop at Costco. I am working subtract from my big box purchases at farmers markets to secure weekly boxes of vegetables and fruit. The farmers are super nice guys at the NPFM and you can negotiate with them. But don't let them charge you too much. They will if they can.— July 19, 2013 10:17 a.m.

Does Your Broker Claim the Real Estate Devastation Is Almost Over? Statistics Say It May Be Half Over
Can you say PONZI? If you've wondered if the banks were intentionally gaming the system - cheating, to be blunt - you shouldn't wonder any more. The UBS fiasco should be all the proof you need - their release of a blunt report stating that they simply ignored risk management because they were quite sure "The Fed had our back" is about the most damning piece of evidence thus far. In any reasonable world this would have led to immediate criminal charges against the "bad actors." But we're not in a reasonable world, are we? So long as the people who steal are bankers and other "rich, monied people", and the people who get stolen from are either taxpayers or "less fortunate", its all ok. And before you turn this into a "Bash Bush" game, go study some history - the fact of the matter is that the seeds of this mess were sown during President Clinton's time in office, and have bridged both Democratic and Republican Congressional majorities as well. In short the politicians are more than happy to see you ripped off and have your money given to anyone who makes large campaign contributions to them. You, as a voter, appear to be happy with this state of affairs, as you keep re-electing them and sending them back to Washington, when you, not the lobbyists and corporations, are the ones who can vote. Part of this is unfortunately that people have become conditioned to "Vote For A Living" via entitlements, but what those who are doing so don't realize is that this isn't a zero-sum game - its a negative amortization game for the voter, in that these promises can't possibly be kept and what's worse, the promise and its "attempted" fulfillment winds up picking your pocket in the process. We are finally getting attention paid to the fact that many states are in recession - right now. Reality is that despite whether the NBER says "there's a recession" or not, the states have a much more sensitive gauge that is simply never wrong within its boundaries - tax revenues. Sales tax, in particular, is an almost-instantaneous response mechanism and provides immediate feedback on consumer spending and economic trends, and states are getting hammered from both sides - falling revenues and rising costs: "The weakening economy is hitting tax revenue in a number of ways: People's discretionary income is being gobbled up by higher food and fuel costs, while the tanking housing market means people are spending less on furniture and appliances associated with buying a house."
