About Novel
The failure of the U.S. Government; enabled by the financial crisis, media, national debt, reckless Federal spending and haughty politicians.
As the masses desperately search for security and stability, the people are duped into voting out the Constitution for the first-ever Social Enterprise Employee Stock Ownership Country (SEESOC). Quickly, the people find they have become corporate slaves, locked inside two Great Walls separating Mexico and Canada. Tagged with barcodes and endlessly watched by Security Services, the dystopian novel, 2034, illustrates just how George Orwell's prophecy could be unfolding.
However, one man will risk his life for the woman he loves and their independence. Will hope, love, and freedom triumph in the end?
Despite most employees mindless embrace of The Corporation's principals of 'progressiveness' (uniformity and repression in disguise) one man suddenly unexpectedly - finds love in the coldness of the futuristic dystopian corporate community. Hiding his affection from Management and Security Services- Franklin finds refuge in the words and company of an old man- mysteriously running a junk shop filled with illegal antique books, among other treasures. With their love affair exposed, Franklin and Sue are faced with a critical decision: Stay in The Corporation and be taken to 'confession' by Security Services, or attempt to escape through The Great Wall of Mexico, or The Great Wall of Canada? Despite the harsh reality of possible political and economic events at hand, 2034 is a story of hope, love, empathy and compassion. 2034 is truly about The Form of the Good - in true Orwellian style.

How to Make Money Today – June 17 – Health Care - NHPR | Really the question isn't whether a bill will surface, the true query of the day is how much will the Government spend? At present, decent ballpark estimates are in the $1 trillion area…which seems to be a trendy number of late for many of the Government's spending spree actions. I was surprised to see health care companies completely light up one of my momentum scans this morning, however, the event really makes sense. The smart money likely knows – many health care companies could be about to get a large revenue boost, subsidized by Uncle Sam. With this in mind, our 'How to Make Money Today' stock is National Health Partners (OTCBB: NHPR). It's important to note right off the bat that... More... | | 6/17/2009 10:50:00 AM |

How to Make Money Today – June 16 – IBM | Bulls have been busy lately – that's for sure. However with the Market Volatility Index (VIX) testing the upper end of descending resistance, zealous bovines likely might have a time-out in the near-term cards. What's more, weakness in the dollar on Monday (and Tuesday morning), coupled with crude and oil on the rise…major indices and Dow stocks could be in for a rough ride today…
So How to Make Money Today?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) is price weighted, not market cap weighted, like the Nasdaq… What this means is more expensive stocks have greater influence on the point/percentage change within the index. Thus, given that...

Just another reason why banks do not want to loan money. | | The SBA’s ARC (America’s Recovery Capital) loan is designed to help viable existing businesses make payments on loan/debt obligations during these tough times.
As I’ve mentioned in my other post on ARC loans, there are both good and bad parts to this loan for the borrower. (Everything has good points and drawbacks.)

90% SBA Loans | | The SBA has increased the amount it will guarantee on loans from 80% to 90%. Fees have been waived as well.
This guarantee simply means that you, as a business owner, will not get 90% loan to value on your project. The loan amount the bank decides to give you is guaranteed by the SBA up [...] | | 6/26/2009 8:00:34 AM |

It’s Not That Complicated Folks | | Having excess cash at the bank only makes sense for interest rates to be low. As I’ve mentioned time and again, a business doesn’t put an item on sale if it doesn’t have the item to sell. Banks have money, they’re just sitting on it.

Unionizing the banks? | | CNN posted an article today stating that Citigroup will increase base salaries without increasing overall compensation. Citi still holds TARP money. 10 other big banks who have given back TARP money.
With government ownership and a pay czar regulating compensation, this sounds like unionization.
Will this really happen? Will this apply to top loan officers and executives, [...] | | 6/24/2009 6:37:02 PM |

Your cash can do only 2 things… | | Go in one pocket and out the other pocket. This is simply known as cash flow - and it’s huge to know about.
Every one seems to talk about the subject, but not necessarily in the right context. For example, getting out of debt can decrease cash. By paying higher payments or accelerating payment, more cash [...] | | 6/19/2009 8:00:09 AM |

Small Businesses get America going. | | What business ever started out large? I can’t think of a single one.
According to Wikipedia, “Ford was launched in a converted factory in 1902 with $31,000 in cash (approximately US$704 thousand, adjusted for inflation).” Even with adjusted dollars, that is not a large corporation by any means.
“The original Model A “Fordmobile” is introduced - 1,708 [...] | | 6/18/2009 2:37:59 PM |
