(Irony?) This blog is all about empowering consumers (whether you have been mugged or not) to protect their money and sensitive personal information. Last week, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) issued a warning to consumers to be aware of:
"... fraudulent solicitations that appear to be made with the approval or involvement of the Federal Reserve, Federal Reserve officials, or other U.S. government officials. These solicitations promise bogus financial services or large sums of money in exchange for either payment or personal information that can then be used to access a consumer's bank account."

When asked how they prepared for this and tested it, they responded, "We lost a lot of good men out there." (But really, this is awesome!)
Despite ongoing economic woes and a jobless rate that has been approaching 10 percent, U.S. unemployment projections drastically improved Monday after the consumption of five beers.
"It's going up," leading economist David Singleton said confidently, indicating the predicted growth in jobs with an upward wave of a Bud Light bottle. "All the way up. By the end of the month. No problem."
Singleton said the economy would begin its rebound once employers realized that there were many currently unemployed skilled laborers across the country who would "bust their asses" in a number of growing fields.
"Whether it's manufacturing, finance, hospitality, or manufacturing, these dudes trying to reenter the workforce right now have awesome skill sets and, most of all, they really deserve it," he said. "They're great, great guys. All of them."
According to analysts, both long- and short-term forecasts showed signs of reco

A
timely law, good gentlemen! In combining thousands of statistics, relevant
hearsay, and the practice of coercive compliance, you concern yourself
with your constituent, the citizen of
Virginia . You wish to free him from the pain and tragedy of motor vehicle
accidents caused by distracted driving. We, the citizens, however, feel
the letter of the law must be taken farther. You have not pursued the
affair to its conclusion: distracted driving is only a secondary offense,
the fines are miniscule [$50], and despite the implementation of this law,
motor vehicle accidents continue to rise in
Northern Virginia and across the state!
We,
the constituents of
Virginia , humbly request that you pass a law banning all driving distractions.
Away with the use of cell phones, GPS systems, and the radio, that

Not all satires are funny. However, if being so serious and worried to death would kill us in the current situation we are in, it isn’t funny either. Ergo, one would rather die with a horse laugh than die without.
BETHESDA, Maryland - (PTSD News) - Two heath insurance giants have announced the winners of their "Scare Health Care Reform to Death" contest. Starting in March, UnitedHealthcare and CIGNA Health Insurance joined forces to create a contest that would award prizes to American citizens who came up with the scariest talking points against health care reform, slogans that would most likely turn public opinion against any changes to the current system. Truth was not a requirement--in fact, it was discouraged for blocking the creative process.
Let the honored scholars at Lew Rockwell stand back and get some practical survival advice from people who know how to make do with less: scumbags like me.

WASHINGTON - (PTSD News) - Saying that they will fight to the death to stop any reform of America's health care system, Republican senators and representatives have stepped up their attacks on every health-care reform bill. "There is nothing in the Bill of Rights that says a citizen has a right to be alive, let alone be healthy," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. "And since the first ten amendments to the Constitution were written by God, anyone who wants to propose a bill that changes any rights hates Jesus."
ROFLMAO this is funny and informative!
It seems that a lot of people have completely forgotten about the billions of tax-payer dollars that have already been spent. Don’t you worry folks, I’ve got you covered. Steve the P.A. from Iowa and I hightailed it across the country to see if our money was truly being put into a legitimate recovery program… Or being spent on frivolities. Take a guess!

From the moment I left Yale and started working for Goldman Sachs, I’ve felt uneasy interacting with those who don’t.
Today, the sheer volume of irresponsible media commentary has forced us to reconsider our public-relations strategy. With every uptick in our share price it’s grown clearer that we who are inside Goldman Sachs must open a dialogue with you who are not. Not for our benefit, but for yours.
America stands at a crossroads, and Goldman Sachs now owns both of them. In choosing which road to take, ordinary Americans must not be distracted by unproductive resentment toward the toll-takers. To that end we at Goldman Sachs would like to dispel several false and insidious rumors.
Josh Weiss is the official spokesdrone for American Traffic Solutions. In Weiss’ world, privacy is irrelevant compared to the needs of corpgov surveillance. While instantaneous cross-checking of a vehicle’s registered owner information against local, state, and federal databases smacks of a bona-fide surveillance state, those in the industry tell us that “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.”
