Drug Wars have made an impact on Mexico. Now Mexico is reeling under other multiple impacts, a lousy US economy, necessity for travelers to have a passport of other Federal documentation to get back home, the swine flu scare, it's own economic problems and slow death by media. How can a country recover from such negativity? We need help.

It's hard to admit you might need a little help. A lie of "I'm OK" comes much easier than admitting you might not be so great and a little help could be needed. That lie could prove deadly on certain occasions.

Now is the time to get even with the developers and auto dealers who kept raising prices with no justification other than greed.  It's about time the tables are turned and I dearly love being out there turning them.

Beheading is the new crime of choice. We have become so inured to violence it takes something horrific to get our attention. The violence of our North American crimes start to make the Somalia pirates and their code begin to look like the good guys.

Everyone is busy pointing fingers at who they think is responsible for the global economic morass.  There are certainly enough to point at, but I have my own ideas, I think it's all the Boomers' fault.

guys getting big bonuses for tanking AIG, angry about where taxpayer money is going? Yeah, me too, but I have a way to punish the guys who were in charge that's both legal and effective.

A love note to Jon Stewart. It's interesting that it takes a comedian to have the guts to ask the tough questions to the financial media..., like, where were you and why didn't you see danger coming? I have a few suggestion of some more guys who need to have their feet put to the fire...so be prepared mortgage brokers, banks, real estate agents, mall developers. I'm sure I'll figure out a few more for the future.

You might think great heists are limited to movies like "Ocean's 11, 12 & 13" but you are sadly mistaken. You have just been party to one bigger than the movies could dream up and the Bush administration pulled it off as a final insult to the working class American public - picture the middle finger salute as they walked out the door of the White House!

I took a look at the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan. It gives many people a lifeline, but many more are still drowning. there is no way the government can bail everyone out, and it just doesn't seem fair to help a select few. It looks to me like some of the provisions are going to keep the situation going forward with no real heal for the basic problem - real estate has become unaffordable for all but the affluent.

It's tough to live in times when you get screwed coming and going and don't even have the benefit of a kiss first. The banks are sure doing it to us. In the long run,so is our federal government as they search desperately for ways to make our economic machine start to purr again. Can we recover from the reaming we got over the last eight years? It's not looking good!

At a time when the government is handing out money right and left, it is important for us to realize just who the new Welfare Queens reall are. you'll be surprised once you start to think about it.

How the US real estate crash created the world financial and real estate collapse. Not just another little cyclical dip in the market!
