Bill Bonner: College is a con

"Gradually, making things in the US became less and less profitable. So, if you wanted to earn a good salary you had to go somewhere else. Finance, administration, accounting, law, education, or health care. The good jobs in these industries required college. That’s why you’re here. But wait, there’s more to the story. Unlimited credit also made it easier to support zombies and parasites. Government connived with industry to create quasi-monopolies, cartels, subsidies, guarantees and price supports. And the feds could add bureaucracy, controls, rules and regulations. For example, the education industry added few teachers, but lots of ‘educators’ and policy coordinators." Continue reading →

U.S. tax deal jeopardizes Canadians’ privacy

"Imperils the privacy of up to a million Canadians and creates a two-tier level of citizenship in this country, discriminating against citizens based on their ethnic origin. It could include so-called border babies, Canadians whose mothers gave birth across the border for medical reasons; Canadians who have returned after holding green cards for work in the U.S.; Canadian snowbirds who could be deemed 'U.S. persons' based on the length of their stay in the sun; and Canadians born to a U.S. parent who may have never set foot in the U.S. If you are a Canadian holding a joint account with a U.S.-born spouse, your financial information, too, could be headed to the files of the IRS — and perhaps beyond."

The Shocking Real Reason for FATCA, and What Comes Next

"The central planners at the G20 and OECD devised what they call a new 'global standard' of automatic financial information exchange between governments (i.e., GATCA) modeled on the US’s FATCA. However, GATCA would have never been possible in the first place had the US not cleared the path with FATCA. The G20 and OECD needed the US—the sole financial superpower (for now at least)—to strong-arm and cram down the throats of the rest of the world this privacy-killing measure. There’s no other entity on the planet with the capability to do so. The very big stick the US wielded was access to the US financial system and the world’s premier reserve currency."

The Hysteria Surrounding Nullification

Nullification. Tenth Amendment. Opponents react hysterically to these words with name calling – racist, secession, Civil War, slavery, confederacy. Clever strategy – conjuring up such emotionally-charged words from a dark period in our history so that average Americans cringe when they hear nullification or tenth amendment – shutting down any healthy debate. However, it is interesting…
