Wow! UK taxes are pretty high
The UK government takes 50% of every £1 for basic tax payer earns and spends (i.e. income over £7,475, basic tax rate of 20%; VAT 20%). Wow that hurts. Now for those that are not basic tax payers, with top tax rate of 50%....it is scary ouch! Time to get going.....

Once bullish, contrarian Jim Grant likes cash now
Hold Cash. Interest rates going to 10%. Stocks prices will decline, they are generally overpriced. Gold, you should own some; however there is risk that gold could decline if rates move to 10% and stocks decline. However, gold is better than long term bonds, in particular US government bond Was a bull, but now contrarian Jim Grant likes cash now

Where did all of the Trillions of Thin-Air Money Go?
Interesting discussion on oil, is there peak oil or not. A good question, where did all of the trillions of thin-air money go? It really has not gone to the economic growth, but we do see commodities costs increasing and as well, higher costs structure happening. Hmmm..... how did that happen and work? Our leader all promised us that there would be real economic growth by printing money.

3 budget woes bigger than the debt ceiling
The author said it well regarding the US government finances,"there is no good way for things to end".
It is all out of control and it will not stop until the financial melt down occurs. Most everyone, wants it to be that way, government employees, government leaders, unions, employees, big banks and big business (who love the big government assistance) and then there is over 50% of the population which gets paid by the government does not want things to change either. I agree, why change things now. It creates bit of pain now. So....humans although smart will continue in the historical path of self destruction.

Jim Rogers: The dollar is set to rally now... but it's a "total disaster" in the long term
| Jim Rogers: The dollar is set to rally now... but it's a "total disaster" in the long term | |||
Text Size:   From Bloomberg: The U.S. dollar is going to be a "total disaster" in the long term because of the country's position as the world's largest debtor and the policies being pursued by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, according to investor Jim Rogers. The Chinese yuan is likely to be a "safe" currency, although it is difficult for investors to buy, Rogers, the chairman of Rogers Holdings, told a conference in Edinburgh. "The situation is getting worse and I expect to see severe problems in the U.S.," Rogers said today. "Dr Bernanke doesn't understand economics, he doesn't understand finance, he only understands printing money and we can't quadruple the amount of money in the next slowdown." U.S. government debt is currently 93 percent of gross domestic product compared with 60 percent before the financial crisis and is set to rise further in the next few years. The dollar has fallen over the past year against every currency in a basket of 16 major currencies. The euro has gained about 7 percent against the dollar this year. It traded at $1.4311 as of 3:20 p.m. in London. "I expect to see more currency turmoil maybe this fall, and more turmoil by 2013," said Rogers, who favors currencies and commodities. Rogers said he is currently buying the dollar because the market consensus is for the currency to fall. Rogers said he is "short" emerging markets, except for China, and U.S. technology stocks as a hedge against his other positions. "Bonds in the U.S. have been in a bull market for 30 years," said Rogers. "In my view that's coming to an end." Rogers is only buying government securities now because 95 percent of the market expects them to decline, he said. Rogers said he couldn't forecast when the bull market in commodities will end. "I know the signs to look for," he said. "I hope I am smart enough to recognize them." "Great fortunes" will be made in agriculture and alternative energies, such as solar power and wind, over the coming years, Rogers said.

Taxing Private Pension Plans
Ireland starting new way of raising taxes.....taxing private pensions.
That is just another central planner idea, that the government can invest / create jobs through taxation which will start the economy running again. Hey....it is the government that is the problem. They run up huge credit card bill on current consumption. No value added process.
