We are
coming out of the first Great Depression since the Great Depression of the
1930s. It will probably take another 8 years to fully recover. I knew in 1980
that we were headed for a Great Depression when I saw my first homeless person
sleeping under a bush in downtown Pittsburgh. I tried to warn people that it
was coming and tried to train my children so that they would ride the
depression out better than most people. I was unemployed for 2 years in this
depression. But I met people who were unemployed for up to 4 continuous years.
Some people worked minimum wage jobs to get by. Others moved in with relatives.
The
Federal Government tried to distract the public from this economic collapse by
causing 9/11, getting into 2 wars, and keeping the public on edge with its
color coded warnings. But by 2008, the world economy including the United
States collapsed and no one could hide that fact any longer. Many people’s way
of life have been economically destroyed with no home or income but still having
high debt that they cannot handle.
I
read newspapers from several ethnic groups to give myself a real balance story
about what is going on in the world. Here is why I was laughing when the
mainstream media claimed that Obama and Romney were in a “Dead Heat” running
for President. I could not wait until election night to see how the media and
the Republican Party were going to come up with a story explaining how Obama
won in a “Land Slide.” They relied on statistician to tell them the outcome
while the real story was in who wanted to come to the poles. When Republican
Organizations have to trick people into coming to vote like they did in York
Pennsylvania, then you know that “the Jig is up!” Keeping an eye on the
hundreds of ethnic groups in America gives me an idea of how the economy will
move in the near future.
The Black
Press, in particular the Tri-State Defender Newspaper published an article about
filing for bankruptcy for small businesses and individuals. I think that these
two articles written by Carlee McCullough
is a must read for everyone because you never know when you may need this
information.

Now
read the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.

If you are interested in articles from other Black
newspapers, look up the New Pittsburgh Courier, Chicago Defender, The Michigan
Chronicle, The Michigan Front Page, The Tri-State Defender, and The Atlanta
Daily World. Just Google the online newspapers on the Internet.
