People Are Still Struggling - Being Foreclosed On

The media continues to hide the dire fact that people are still on the brink of homelessness. The middle class is being stripped from existence. There soon will only be two types of people in the world. The very poor and the very rich. Where I live in Miami, Fl, you can see hoards of rich people all over the eastern areas. Most of these individuals aren't even from America. They're foreigners on vacation. If you take away all of the tourists you'll see what Miami's population is really comprised of - the working class barely making it. The college student working full time without any real idea of how he or she will lead a normal life. The middle aged person wondering where it all went wrong.

This is all thanks to the enormous amount of inflation that has took place between the years of 1935 and 2014. If you go back to see what a dollar was worth in the year 2000 in compared to what its worth today you'd be amazed.

There is a reason why grocery portions are shrinking and a meagerly rising wage does not seem to purchase a better lifestyle. Its because the dollar's buying power is not keeping up with the cost of goods. The fix to these problems don't look good for anyone. The dollar has to be dropped as a world reserve currency and our economic system has to adopt a gold backed currency. The Fed won't allow that to happen any time soon. For those that are facing foreclosure, please visit in order to seek a solution to your situation. For everyone else, good luck.

Miss Universe 2013: Media's Illusions Among Massive Desperation

Here we go again folks. While there are a growing number of people loosing their jobs and being left to fend for themselves on the streets of America, everyone else is hypnotized by what the media wants us to see: mindlessness.

What needs to be done in order to bring our real problems to light? Our politicians obviously don't care about the well being of the average American Citizen. As the crown is placed atop of Gabriela Isler's head, millions of people starve to death and vanish without a trace. What needs to be done in order to improve our economy's decaying conditions?

Even her swimsuit is worth one million dollars, this is ludicrous!
