THIRTY YEAR BAIT

Yesterday I ran into a short comment over at Zero Hedge over a forgotten article ( I can see why ‘Ol Remus started including those quotes in his weekly publication-a lot of times the comments trump the article [ ‘Ol Remus Dude: if you ever get the writing bug after publishing ceases, feel free to submit a guest article here.  You can just submit it as Anonymous if you don’t want a bunch of asswhores bothering you with questions such as, Why Don’t You Spend All Your Free Time Giving Us A Free E-Magazine? ] ) which succulently summed up the last thirty years of middle class survival.  To paraphrase, by rolling over their debt to lower interest rates for the last thirty years, the middle class stayed alive.  You do remember that for about the last forty years, wages adjusted for inflation have shrunk, right?  So, perfect summation.  Then, I was later returning from an out of town donation pick-up, I notice again a huge advertisement banner nearly as big as the mobile home it was on.  ONLY $528 monthly for 23 years.  They were so proud of this deal, they were bragging about it rather than trying to hide it in the small print.

Granted, for this town that is cheap.  You live out in the boonies, $100 a month land payment. A loan for a well, a septic and perhaps power hook-up, another $300.  Property taxes, under $100.  So pretty much a grand a month and you’ll own the whole deal in twenty years.  If I broke it all down, a TERRIBLE deal all away around and able to be substituted way cheaper.  But to middle class Yuppie Scum types, this is roughing it.  This is sacrificing and being frugal.  And this is how, so easy, every swinging corrupt scumbag out there has jumped on the bandwagon to suckle dry most working stiffs.  Even two minimum wage drones could, barely, swing this deal ( assuming they are financed, I know- not possible ) financially.  One pays the land and shelter, one buys the groceries and makes the car payment.  Oh, they’d probably do it smarter.  Buy the half size mobile for half the price.  $300 mobile.  $100 land.  $100 payments on a generator and a bunch of panels.  Haul their water.  Then, they’d be paying half what a rental anything would cost.  Right there, you are buying a mobile home and land for just $125 over what a travel trailer lot rent alone would run you.  Which is REALLY enticing, isn’t it?  The Siren call of debt to save you money.  Which only works if you desire above all else to be middle class.  If you desire security, you avoid debt and middle class status symbols entirely.  Just saying.
