Money Matters - Part 11

Well, that's the problem with any natural mineral resource. The Bakken formation of oil shale is a big blob under northwest ND, northeast MT and southern Saskatchewan. I've been to the Badlands once. Some of the residents are suddenly getting nice chunks of change for mineral rights on otherwise low value property.
I don't like that our Appalachian mountains are cut off, ground up and burned (coal) either. In theory.

Fed deficit for Feb is 229 Billion - the highest for any month ever. Was not too long ago when there complaints that the ANNUAL deficit was in that range.

Instead of walking in the mud, I threw the old mop in the garage trash. This is what I get going back out to the garage. Have to admit I laughed

From the No Surprise File:

Latest estimate of the cost of the healthcare overhaul is DOUBLE what it promised to be. I would guess at least 4X when all is said and done.

Yeah because all the insurance companies now have have more employees to handle all the paperwork.

No - it's the GOV part that is the main problem.

I love my books too but also love my Nook, good for the books I don't really want to keep.

Doubt printed books will ever completely disappear. Fewer of them will make my collection more valuable!!

Oh goodie!

"The article http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/14/opinion/why-i-am-leaving-goldman-sachs.html?_r=1&ref=business reignited a debate on the Internet and on cable television over whether Wall Street was corrupted by greed and excess."

THAT corruption was in question?

More importantly, it has people talking about the Muppets! ;)

I like the muppets! And that is the only thing I like about Wall Street.
