I’m still busy not spending and not working (tax slaving) until The W0n is gone.

[albie]

The stores and malls around where I live seem to be doing just fine. Jam packed restaurants.

I don’t spend any more than necessary, and have done all I can to make sure the highest percentage of pre-tax dollars are stashed from my paychecks. (Health Flex Fund, 401K, etc.)

My vegetable garden is slightly bigger than normal, too. ;)

[Night Hides Not]

I’ve gone Galt. My problem is that my wife and kids haven’t.

We purchase as little as possible.

Even grow much of our own food.

I refuse to feed the corrupt government more taxes than absolutely necessary.

We do not purchase anything unless we absolutely need it.

I refuse to fund hundreds of thousands of government employee gold plated pensions, 1 cent over what is absolutely necessary to survive.

We fix and or repair all of our own stuff.

I suggest others do the same.

Obama can just forgive everyone’s Visa card balance when he forgives all the student loans. Problem solved.

I’m pretty sure that buying stuff, marked down 80% at store closings, isn’t showing up in the “retail sales” figures....

Macy's (M) said that sales at stores open at least a year, the most widely watched measure of health in retailing, were up just 1.2% from a year ago. Analysts were expecting so-called same-store sales growth of 2.3% according to Briefing.com.

maybe some of US are boycotting you, MACY's because you support GAY MARRIAGE!!

I have set myself a budget of $1500 a month . This month I was $450 under budget. I consider that pretty good considering I have to pay $465 a month for health insurance. Next month should be even better because I am getting rid of cable tv. Who actually watches that mindless junk on tv anyway?

"...a dud of a June sales report from Macy's Thursday morning."

Rich folks getting ready for the SHTF.

Where is John Galt ?

We know who he is, but Where is he ?

John Galt can crash the Obama re-election Campaign, by shrinking the Economy, ever so slightly, while Obama desperately tries to “Stimulate” the same.

Advantage, John Galt.
