COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana.

Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

The Hole The law enforcement called The neighbors rang in, too There’s an email and a text The news, it really flew.

The Lone Ranger modernized He came riding in Not upon his trusty steed, He was riding on his Schwinn.

My building got a blemish No, it wasn’t pretty It’s just another circumstance It’s a structure in the city.

Without some further notice, (If I properly recall), He dashed home for his rig We had junk to haul.

To close a gaping hole, I thought it may be wise, I went to Harlem Lumber I purchased some supplies.

He salvaged precious lumber Through the rubble, he did sail He saved for Steven Hughes Every bent and twisted nail.

Returning to the scene Who should then appear?

It was Dale Mailand He’s a helpful volunteer.

If you browse the internet, If you go to Google, If you reference Mailand, Is the definition frugal?

Questions from the public, He handled them with care For he disapproved my language, Two words, I cannot share.

The hole, it was covered The sheeting, it was hung Through tools and techniques, He never bit his tongue.

I’m thankful for the helping hands He knew just what to do There’s only one objection, He told me how to screw.

Money Talks

By guest contributor Greg Dugdale of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Havre, Montana

ROBERT FLOREA

StrategieS DeSigneD to Meet Your Financial goalS

Close your eyes and visualize your dream vacation or the shiny new car that you’ve always dreamed of having. Sure, looks great! Unfortunately, for many of us the planning stops right there. With a little planning and discipline the likelihood of achieving our goals can be dramatically improved. Consider implementing one, if not all, of the strategies listed below to improve your financial picture.

• Write down your financial goals and objectives and include deadlines. This will help you stay focused.

• Use credit cards as little as possible. Financing your lifestyle with credit cards is a trap. Reach for your checkbook instead.

• Payoff your credit cards each month. With the new minimum payment requirements of around 5%, consumers will get out of debt quicker. For example, on a $2,000 credit card bill at 18% interest, paying the former 2% minimum will still leave you paying 30 years from now. The interest will cost you over $5,000 on the $2,000 charge. By making the new 5% minimum payment, you will finish up in about 7 years and the interest will be roughly $811.

• Spend a little, but save a little more. As your debts are paid off, save the “extra” cash each month. Many people are tempted to overspend with the “extra” cash.

• Keep a savings balance of at least 6 months of expenses. This cash cushion can be used when emergencies do arise instead of charging on credit cards.

• Map out a college savings plan and begin funding early.

• Manage taxes early in the year and look for deductions, credits and deferral of income to reduce your tax bill. The savings on taxes can be used for other goals.

• Go for steady, consistent, long-term growth in your investment. By the time you read about a “hot tip” it’s usually cold.

• Protect your valuables and income earning potential with appropriate insurance policies including mortgage, life, and disability policies.

• Invest for retirement. At best, Social Security will cover only a fraction of the money you will need for retirement. Talk to your financial advisor about preparing for a comfortable retirement.

• Create an estate plan. Many people think you must be super wealthy to do estate planning which is not true. Avoiding probate and passing assets to heirs estate tax free, may be the main goals.

Your Financial Advisor, CPA and Attorney will be able to assist in reaching all of these goals. As the saying goes, “those that fail to plan, plan to fail”. It’s never too late to begin taking a look at your financial picture and get on board with a real plan for you and your family’s future.

Estate and Personal Property Liquidator crean.bean@hotmail.com usedabitantiques.blogspot.com

Around the time of our founding, there were three ways to come to America. Number one; sell your possessions to fund your dangerous and expensive journey across the Atlantic. Two; become an indentured servant and trade your labor to a traveler of financial means in exchange for safe passage and fresh start in the new world. Three, cross the seas in shackles and chains in the hold of a slave ship. After 235 years, the relationship between these three classes has taken an interesting twist, and a look at colonial indentured servitude sheds new light on today’s debt ceiling debate. Let me explain.

In colonial times, the length of a traveler’s indentured servitude depended upon their abilities and the demand for their craft. Typically, an adventuresome European would offer by contract, three to seven years of labor in exchange for the Atlantic crossing. Once in the new world, people oftentimes sold their indentured servants along with their respective contracts to other individuals or businesses needing labor. This selling of contracts was first developed by the Virginia Company in 1619 and over the years, nearly three-fourths of European immigrants came to America in this manner. As with slavery, indentured servants suffered harsh physical abuse, but unlike slaves, servants knew they would be free upon completion of their contract. This made the risk worth taking. Sadly, 60 percent of indentured servants died in the process—never fully gaining freedom until they touched the face of God. Fast forward to today.

In 2011, America’s rulers have buried the taxpaying class under 14.3 trillion dollars of debt— a level non-taxpayers seem to demand. (Only 53 percent of Americans actually pay taxes; the rest ride in the wagon.) The allure of getting something for nothing is as addictive as Karl Marx promised.

Like getting your first dose of cocaine free, nearly every American has allowed themselves to be infected by some government security, set-aside, subsidy, or stimulus. Sunshine patriots allowed this to happen and we are just as responsible for our economic predicament as the perpetrators who promoted such programs.

A quick run of the debt numbers gives the appearance each of America’s 300 million citizens owes $47,666 in federal debt. On the surface, that amount seems similar to the debt incurred by colonial indentured servants, so in three to seven years, most any American should be able to retire their share of the debt and emerge a free man. Not so fast, let’s run a few more calculations before we breathe an economic sigh of relief.

Unlike in 1619, today’s debt contract is open-ended and it grows every second of every day.

For example, when you consider the future unfunded obligations of Social Security and Medicare with the retiring baby boomers, America’s true national debt is well beyond 100 trillion dollars. The level of debt each taxpayer must retire to earn their freedom as an indentured servant in 2011 is 1.886 million dollars. (Before you reach the end of the next sentence, your share of the national debt has grown even higher. You better act fast.)

America is ripe for fundamental change back to constitutional principles, and to simply raise our debt ceiling is insanely more of the same. The 51 US Senators, including Montana Senators Tester and Baucus, who defeated the US House “Cap, Cut and Balance Act” on July 22nd are no different than a plantation owner flogging a run-away slave. Be it a ball and chain attached to our ankles or a debt carried upon our shoulders, we will never be free as long as politicians can generously buy votes and burden us and future generations with the bill. In the end, an indentured servant with no hope of ever paying off their debt is nothing more than a slave. Uncontrolled debt is the cruelest of all masters.
