Product Description

Double-digit unemployment. Housing prices plummeting. One of the largest stock market crashes in history. There's no doubt that we're in a serious economic crisis, perhaps even the Second Great Depression. Many in the federal government want you to be afraid of economic collapse so that they can take advantage of American workers with more taxes, more debt, and earmarks coming out of their ears. What's worse, Congress is pushing government solutions to problems that government actually created-a vicious cycle that needs to end. Until we can return to a fiscally sound government, there's only one thing we can do with this economic situation: capitalize on it. You can do so by taking advantage of low interest rates, government stimulus programs, and inflation of the U.S. Dollar. You can also obtain government grants, take unemployment money, and start a business to reduce your tax obligations. And if all else fails, you can take your business offshore. This book will show you how to do all of that and more in easy step-by-step techniques. Stop being afraid of another economic depression and start taking advantage of the government that is trying to take advantage of you!

Good synopsis, clever ways to capitalize on the current system
"Surviving" is along the lines of a number of books recently released (Meltdown, Gimme My Money Back, Liberty and Tyranny) that give an explanation of how the US got into this current financial "crisis". Morse does put a unique twist with a history going back to the late 1800s showing that we had economic depressions since banks started dominating finance. But government didn't have to put up massive bailouts or stimulus plans back then and we still got out of the mess. Now, however, we have all these government inventions (like the Fed and income tax) to prevent economic depressions and it looks like not only did the government prevent downturns, it made them worse!

After the history, Morse goes into ways to capitalize on the current system- including taking advantage of stimulus, getting grants, going on unemployment, and taking your business offshore if all else fails. This is a clever book and one that you should get soon before the recovery is in your rear view mirror!

Solid
3-stars for length (it is only 6 bucks after all), but 5-stars for the concept, the writing and the techniques. I've taken a couple of the suggestions and started investing in TIPS and gold. I'm not ready to get laid off to get unemployment (pretty funny section though), but I'm looking in to starting a 5013c to get a grant to do what I want. Brilliant. It's our money, why shouldn't we be taking advantage of it?!
