Hillary's Health Problem(s) Just Became More Certain

 

When Drudge published this photo of Hillary Clinton having to be held up by several staffers while going up a small flight of stairs, many questioned her health.  This is especially true given her history of falling (noted in the above screen shot).

But, when she fell sick at yesterday's 9/11 ceremony, an even more "wobbly" event took place as shown in the YouTube video (linked below).  It appears clearly that something is wrong with this woman.  Looking like a stumbling drunk, the incident looks too much like the photo above; but worse.  Of course, the Clinton staffers were quick to say she was simply "overheated" at the 9/11 ceremony.  That would be believable if the temperature wasn't just 80 degrees at the time.

I think its time that the American people hear the whole truth regarding Hillary's health.  Only 3 days before the 9/11 collapse, a survey was taken. 250 doctors were polled who feel that her health concerns looked serious.  Historically, it wouldn't be the first time presidential health issues were covered up: like a wheel-chair bound FDR, or JFK taking steroids for his Addison's disease, strong pain meds for a bad back, and anti-spasmodics for colitis.

 Perhaps CNN should rethink their firing of Dr. Drew for his negative analysis of Hillary's health.

Confusion: Home Sales and Home Ownership

On July 26, the new home sales numbers were released and Bloomberg news reported it this way:

"Purchases of new U.S. single-family homes rose in June to the highest level in more than eight years, indicating a firm and resilient housing market."

Keep in mind the words "firm and resilient" when looking at the following. This chart was based on home ownership from St. Louis Federal Reserve and was released just two days later than the above:

In my opinion, you can't have home ownership falling to a level not seen since 1965, and still, somehow, claim the housing market is both "firm" and "resilient".  This seems quite confusing.

Why America's Oil Boom Just Might Go Bust

Thanks to the oil boom, and as a result of the fracking of oil shale, America is now on track to be the largest oil producer in the world within the next year. 

However, our overzealous production may possibly cause that "largest" title to quickly slip through our fingers.  Right now there is simply too much oil in the world and the price for Brent oil (the world benchmark traded worldwide) has fallen from over $110 a a barrel to well below $70 in just a few months; with some experts predicting $40 within the next year.   It is this glut of oil that may cause many of our oil shale fracking operations to be shutdown because it will be too expensive -- relative to the going price for Brent oil -- for those operations to continue.  And, for some of our oil shale operations, the current price may already be too low to continue as shown in this breakeven chart of our major oil shale fields:

But, what this chart also shows is that, if oil does hit $40/barrel, it would make all but two fields unprofitable.  Additionally, oil below $70 is probably killing off any possible new fracking operations in this country. Further, these low prices may also make many of our deep-water off-shore drilling operations unprofitable.

The simple fact is that much of the growth in the economy and the increase in jobs has resulted from the oil boom.  If it comes to an end, our economy could contract (slip into recession) and unemployment would necessarily rise.  Fears of this came yesterday when the stock market fell 268 points as oil hit 5-year lows on a 3% drop.
