    ÛÛ Û Financial Crisis and Meltdown:
    ßÛ Û "Raising the debt ceiling doesn't increase
    the debt." ... "sub-prime ²Û Û mortgages are a great inv
    estment opportunity." ... "owning debt is a ÛÛ Û financi
    ally sound investment." Can you say "Hah, No." If you did say ° Û
    Û Û "hah," then you know more than the most of the sheepole who have² Û
    Û Û bought the lie of great returns with minimal investment. You don't Û
    ÛÛ Û get something for nothing, and bad deals can be *real
    ly* bad deals. Û ÛÛ Û So what does this mean to you and m
    e, well first of all you need to Û ÛÛ Û educate yourself
    about investing and risk before you invest a penny. Û ÛÛ Û
    With large interest in investment its probably either illegal,Û
    ÛÛ Û immoral, or tainted. If you take a risk, you are hold
    ing theÛ ÛÛ Û possibility of realizing the financial l
    oss if the risk comes toÛ ÛÛ Û fruition. If you spend
    more money than you earn you are headed down Û ÛÛ Û a path
    that leads to bankruptcy. If governments make less money from Û Û
    Û Û taxes and investment than they spend on services those governments Û
    ÛÛ Û are going to collape, whether that be sooner or later
    . Do you have Û ÛÛ Û investments ideas that are reasonab
    le? Can you educate people about Û ÛÛ Û how the financial
    system and investing works? Have you been burned Û ÛÛ Û
    and want to help people avoid that same trouble? Perhaps you are an
    Û ÛÛ Û investor and are looking for good ideas about wha
    t projects to back. Û ÛÛ Û If any of these things ring tru
    e to you then this is the place for Û ÛÛ Û you. Feel fre
    e to discuss all matter of things relating to financial Û Û
    Û Û crisis and meltdown here, including general thoughts and concerns.
