Good Morning all you inquisitive free thinkers out there in survival land; your King of Simple News is on the air.
Have you ever wondered exactly how a pyramid scheme works? Or, what the people who invested in the scam are told when there is nothing more for them to collect? 
Have you ever [...]]]></description>

George posted the following  link in yesterday’s comments. Please take the time to read this  informative article. I had to take several breaks to stabilize my blood  pressure as I read through the maddening content.

From our Cedaredge, Colorado newsroom (often called my home office), standby for another nasty dose of reality; your King of Simple News is on the air.
I have several pesky little issues running around inside my mind this morning, not the least of which is real estate. We heard over and over that until [...]]]></description>

Good Morning all of you Middle Class survivors; your King of Simple News is comin’ at ya.

Today, I want to talk about the functional, physical, and mathematical impossibility of the majority of kids in America acquiring a college education. I’ll use some old and some new arguments, and of course, the application of Mikeronomics.

I’ve noticed over the years that American’s have become hardened to bad news. That is, so long as that bad news does not directly influence the party receiving it.
