The magic of the free market and the wisdom of our Wall Street producers/betters at work:
Earlier this year I wrote about the Jefferson County story in a piece called “Looting Main Street” in Rolling Stone. In this tale employees of a group of high-powered Wall Street banks, led in particular by JP Morgan Chase, funneled money to local politicians in Alabama, who in turn signed off on toxic interest-rate swap deals that left the county saddled with monstrous debt for a generation.
Jefferson County is essentially the world’s worst credit card story. The local pols ran up massive bills to build a “Taj Mahal of sewer-treatment plants,” then saddled future voters with a blizzard-worth of rate hikes, punitive fees and late charges. Alabamans who should have paid $250 million for their new sewer system now owe over $3 billion, thanks to their corrupt politicians and the greedy carpetbagger banks who dragged these local hicks into deadly derivative deals.
These types of finance scams are the template for a whole new type of symbiotic relationship between politicians and the financial services industry: deals like the JeffCo interest-rate swaps allow politicians to borrow vast sums essentially without immediate consequence, making it possible to green-light politically-popular programs during their terms but leaving future leaders holding the bag when the bills come due. We saw similar stories in Greece and in the Denver school system; hundreds of communities in Italy and other European countries are also experiencing similar debt-blowups thanks to rate swaps and other deadly deals.
Anyway, back in the mid-nineties, the average sewer bill for a Jefferson County family of four was only $14.71. By the time I wrote my story earlier this year, most citizens were paying about four times that amount – and as of this summer, the average JeffCo sewer bill was $63. Well, the news now comes out that rates will go up again, and in the best case scenario they will jump 25% a year. The worst case? Jefferson County sewer rates could jump as much as 527%, with some estimates placing the average monthly bill as high as $395 a month.
At some point, people are going to figure out that our current corrupt capitalist system isn’t about the efficient allocation of capital, but straight up robbery and thieving. Not any time soon, I suspect, but some day.

No matter what anyone says, making money takes a lot of work. If you search online you will find a lot of claims on how you can make thousands of dollars overnight and how you do not have to spend a lot of time doing it. Now here is one flag that should alert you. Making money will take time, a lot of time at that, it's just like working at a regular job. When you are trying to sell something online, or even if you are just promoting it, it will take time to reach the amount of money that you want to make, and there is no way around it.
Second, there is never a guarantee that you will make a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time, anyone who can promise that something can happened overnight is just pulling your leg, or they just want your money, point blank. Starting a business or promoting a product will take some type of investment. Think about it for a second, if you were to own an online business, you will need to pay for a good website, and a good domain name, and maybe some advertising as well, it will not be for free, no matter what anyone tells you.
You will want good training starting out, right? Then honestly I would suggest a good marketing school, such as a community college or something, why? Because you will get months and months of good training from a school and actually earning a degree while you are at it.
Lastly, there is a lot of free marketing information online, I really dislike those websites where they have people pay a fee for their information where they can get it online for free. If you do a search on google or on yahoo, it will bring you a lot of articles, and a lot of free ebooks on marketing tips. Scams are far and wide but it can be really easy to spot, just look for these signs:
1. There is no such thing as overnight riches, nobody can promise that, and any business will take time.
2. It will not be free, you will need to invest something, anyone telling you otherwise is a scam.
3. It takes work, not just an "Hour a Day" like most of these sites claim.
So be very careful on where your money is spent, oh and keep your day job until your business really start to kick off.
