50 Economic Numbers From 2011 That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe Even though most Americans have become very frustrated with this economy, the reality is that the vast majority of them still have no idea just how bad our economic decline has been or how much trouble we are going to be in if we don't make dramatic changes immediately. If we do not educate the American people about how deathly ill the U.S. economy has become, then they will just keep falling for the same old lies that our politicians keep telling them. Just "tweaking" things here and there is not going to fix this economy. We truly do need a fundamental change in direction. At this time of the year, a lot of families get together, and in most homes the conversation usually gets around to politics at some point. The following are 50 economic numbers from 2011 that are almost too crazy to believe.... #1 A staggering 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be "low income" or are living in poverty. #16 As the economy has slowed down, so has the number of marriages.

Personal Finance Newsletter | Dave Ramsey's November 2011 CNL 11 days of FREE SHIPPING! Ends 11/11/11. Every Order, No Minimums. Also Included In This Issue: Get Plugged In! By Dave Ramsey "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" The beauty of being vague is that anyone who has any emotion can get caught up in the excitement and join your crusade. A lot of people on Twitter are saying I totally agree with the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) demands and goals. This is what's happening to the OWS movement. So in the absence of any clear goals, let me comment and offer some helpful advice in some areas that seem to be getting a lot of disorganized OWS attention. "No Government Bailouts!" Banks and big companies should not receive taxpayer money for a bailout while their CEOs are making hundreds of millions of dollars. By the way, you may be shocked to learn that the Tea Party agrees with you on this one—and so do I. "Down With Corporate Greed!" Gordon Gekko was wrong. "Wall Street Is Evil!" But here's what happens. My problems aren't his fault.

Alcool : non, non, les Bretons ne sont pas les champions Dessin de na ! « Boire un verre tous les jours, c’est mettre sa vie en danger » dit la prochaine campagne de lutte contre l’alcoolisme. Et contrairement à ce que les non-Bretons se plaisent à répandre, ce n’est pas en Bretagne qu’on met le plus en danger sa vie sur ce mode. Certes, on y excelle en « cuites », mais c’est plutôt dans le Sud qu’on ferait mieux de se regarder dans le fond du foie. Selon l’Inpes (Institut national de prévention et d’éducation pour la santé), au-delà de trois verres par jour, vous entrez dans la catégorie des consommateurs excessifs. Et en général, vous vous sous-estimez terriblement. Un homme, la quarantaine – la tranche d’âge visée par la campagne – y enquille les verres. Cet homme-là a plus de chance (ou de risque) de vivre en Languedoc-Roussillon ou en Midi-Pyrénées, qui arrivent juste après le Nord pour la consommation d’alcool « significativement supérieure au reste de la France », qu’à Paimpol ou Plougrescant. Non, la Bretagne n’est pas la plus alcoolo

What's really in the food? The A to Z of the food industry's most evil ingredients (NaturalNews) Ever wonder what's really in the food sold at grocery stores around the world? People keep asking me, "What ingredients should I avoid?" So I put together a short list that covers all the most toxic and disease-promoting ingredients in the food supply. These are the substances causing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and leading to tens of billions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs across America (and around the world). If you want to stay healthy and out of the hospital, read ingredients labels and make sure you avoid all these ingredients: Acrylamides - Toxic, cancer-causing chemicals formed in foods when carbohydrates are exposed to high heat (baking, frying, grilling). Aspartame - Chemical sweetener that causes neurological disorders, seizures, blurred vision and migraine headaches. Autolyzed Proteins - Highly processed form of protein containing free glutamate and used to mimic the taste-enhancer chemical MSG. Casein - Milk proteins. Read NaturalNews.

Congress somewhere below cockroaches, traffic jams, and Nickelback in Americans' esteem Our newest national poll finds that Congress only has a 9% favorability rating with 85% of voters viewing it in a negative light. We've seen poll after poll after poll over the last year talking about how unpopular Congress is but really, what's the difference between an 11% or a 9% or a 7% favorability rating? So we decided to take a different approach and test Congress' popularity against 26 different things. And what we found is that Congress is less popular than cockroaches, traffic jams, and even . Here's what we found: It's gross to have lice but at least they can be removed in a way that given the recent reelection rates members of Congress evidently can't: Lice 67 Congress 19 Brussel sprouts may have been disgusting as a kid, but evidently they're now a lot less disgusting than Congress: Brussel Sprouts 69 Congress 23 And you can make the same point about root canals: Root Canals 56 Congress 32 Now the news isn't all bad for Congress: Full results here

Il lègue une partie de sa fortune au village de son enfance Air Force dumped ashes of more troops’ remains in Va. landfill than acknowledged The Air Force had maintained that it could not estimate how many troops might have had their remains sent to a landfill. The practice was revealed last month by The Washington Post, which was able to document a single case of a soldier whose partial remains were sent to the King George County landfill in Virginia. The new data, for the first time, show the scope of what has become an embarrassing episode for vaunted Dover Air Base, the main port of entry for America’s war dead. The landfill disposals were never formally authorized under military policies or regulations. They also were not disclosed to senior Pentagon officials who conducted a high-level review of cremation policies at the Dover mortuary in 2008, records show. Air Force and Pentagon officials said last month that determining how many remains went to the landfill would require searching through the records of more than 6,300 troops whose remains have passed through the mortuary since 2001. “What the hell?”
