   As much as I hate to admit it, I must make a correction. One of Oprah’s charities (Angel Networks) is ‘three star’ (out of four) rated by charitynavigator.org. The scale is peanuts when you consider her incredible 9 figure salary, 2.7 BN net worth, and the huge worldwide fan base, but the efficiency was good as of ’07′. Thats it. MJF and Oprah are ‘top’ and ‘three star’ rated respectfully. Every other celebrity foundation is rated poorly, fair, or not rated at all. That is really sad when you consider how many there are. Just about every big name celebrity on the planet has one or more.

   The NBC pundits are dead wrong again. This is not the bottom of the recession. Its not the beginning of a true recovery. Its only the beginning of that short and shallow revival. There will be some positive signs over the next year or so. But they will not lead to a true recovery. Our leaders may claim to end the recession in 2010, but that claim will be made on the short and shallow revival. It absolutely will not last. I stand by my predictions made earlier this year. Obama's efforts are revolutionary but they are too little too late. He will have no choice but to acknowledge a severe US depression by the end of his first term or shortly thereafter. Every major economy in the world will be in depression by 2015.

   The NBC pundits (Chatzky and Wong) are bound and determined (paid) to plug their coorporate sponsors and perpetuate the 'multiple credit card' lifestyle. Their claim is that you need more than one to build reasonable credit, finance a home, and be relatively secure financially. THAT IS ANOTHER FLAT-OUT LIE. The industry is simply too corrupt and predatory to deal with. It has been for at least 20 years. The use of 'multiple credit cards' is simply too risky, addictive, complicated (check that fine print), and ultimately expensive. In the vast, overwhelming majority of cases, the 'multiple credit card' user has ended up further in debt year after year after year. Their credit was built to some extent on a temporary basis and their ability to repay loans was diminished gradually right along with their bottom line. They ended up paying as much or more in finance charges as they did on principal. That is OBSCENE. Now, their net worth is way down. Their credit is f$#@#$. Their ability to get out of debt f#$&@#. That 'credit' didn't get them anything but F#$#@#. Still, those NBC pundits (liars) have the nerve to perpetuate that 'multiple credit card' lifestyle as if it were ever legit or necessary to begin with. It wasn't. Until two years ago, one could have built reasonable credit with a stable income, a checking account, a savings account, one secured credit card, one loan for a used car, one loan for a new car, and a reasonable downpayment. Until recently, that was enough credit to get a first home loan. Now, the economic boom is OVER. The majority are F#$&@#. Its only going to get worse. A LOT WORSE. The window for ordinary (decent) people to stake their rightful claim is closing fast. They better get out of debt and well prepared for the comming US/global depression. It will be catastrophic. Under these circumstances, it is downright reckless to promote more use of credit cards. Only a calculated PIG with an ulterior motive would have the nerve. The 'multiple credit card' lifestyle wasn't the only cause of this economic crisis but it was a major factor. Another vehicle to transfer wealth from poor to rich. Which again, is the single greatest underlying cause. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL.
