Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:09:44 -0500

Government intervention makes the economy worse on the long run. FED is trying to fix it now. But FED propped it up for decades. If they do nothing now, the crash will be too big to bear. I am talking about DOW in digits.Government interventions such as FED, FDIC, Fannie, Freddie caused the credit bubble and too big to fail. FED made credit easy and America borrowed for decades at artificially low rates. FDIC blinded the depositors and nobody questioned the bank actions until too late.

Why did the government do this? Because inflating the money supply is the only way they know to fix a recesssion. To postpone every recession they could, they encouraged people to borrow. Because when we borrow,

A client called and asked us to repair a window in theirhome. The window had a broken piece of glass and we would needto take it from their home, repair it at our shop and reinstallit in their entryway. . The window frame had been assembledwith degree miters in the wood, which required that the nailsbe removed in order to get the wood out.

Theleaded panel was very tight in the framework, which is rare, andI had to gently work the panel loose so as not to break it. Thisinstallation h...

If you have a squeaky spot in your hardwood.Sprinkle some talcum baby powder in the cracks and work it inas much as possible. Sweep up the excess do not vacuum and useas norm...
