The Truth About the Economy—and How to Protect Yourself Now

Ken & Daria Dolan — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:18:35 GMT

There's a LOT of bogus "smoke and mirrors" information coming from the polls in DC. But this is a time for truth about our economy and our country--you have come to expect no sugar-coated perspectives from us and that's what we're about to give you. It's time for a REALITY CHECK so that you can be well-informed and take the necessary steps to prepare for the turbulent days ahead. Let's break through the Washington spin and media hype and talk about what's really going on with the biggest issues facing our economy... The Truth About the Banking Crisis "You ain't seen nothin' yet," to quote Al Jolson. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will NOT preclude another financial disaster. But it will make it even more difficult for consumers (me and you) to borrow money. If you are lucky enough to get a loan, expect it to cost more! Who could have thought that Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep.

Survey Results: Should Congress Raise the US Debt Ceiling?

Ken Dolan — Fri, 13 May 2011 15:26:57 GMT

We are so pleased to see how intelligent our Dolans.com family is! 85% of you, when asked whether we should raise the debt ceiling or not.. .voted NO! Why would anybody support raising the debt ceiling when we can't get the plain facts from Mr. Geither, Secretary of Treasury, including even the date of possible default. First it was April, then early May and now, apparently, August is the "drop dead" date. He obviously found some money somewhere to get the U.S. through the entire summer! So, what's not to say that he won't mysteriously find more money when August 2nd approaches? It's pretty safe to assume that the government is playing fast and loose with the facts. Tell us the truth and maybe then we'll realistically talk about whether raising the debt ceiling makes sense...or not!
