Buying & Selling Congressmen used to be Cheaper

In the 19th century, as America was rising to power and glory, we had 15 depressions, virtually no human rights, little rule of law, massacres in the streets. 

You could buy and sell Congressmen in those days—you can still buy and sell Congressmen, but in those days they were a lot cheaper.

Jim Rogers : Finance is in Decline

Jim Rogers believes the finance industry is about to slip into secular decline. That's why the famed investor advises young people to pursue careers in farming rather than in finance.

"If you've got young people who don't know what to do, I'd urge them not to get MBAs, but to get agriculture degrees," Rogers told CNBC.com.

That's because the financial commentator and author of "Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets" is bearish about the entire financial field.

"Finance has been good the past 30 years, but it was not good the 30 years before that, and it's happening again," Rogers said. "Finance is in decline. In the future, the center of the world will not be finance—it's going to be the producers of real goods."

 In America more people study Public Relations than study Agriculture. All our farmers and miners are dying. The Colorado School Of Mines which used to be the premier mining or engineering school in America, maybe even in the world, now gives MBA`s, because nobody wants to study engineering anymore.
