California is losing so many residents they are losing congressional seats due to losing population.

Peter Schiff is a legend. Peter Schiff called the 2008 financial crisis when others were laughing at him. I remember Peter Schiff calling out Washington Mutual and sure enough the largest mortgage lender and servicer went out of business. This economic crisis is obvious. Consumers are feeling it at the pump, grocery stores, malls, auto repair shops, auto dealers, shopping for homes, surging mortgage rates, and the cost of goods and services skyrocketing like a runaway train. The dollar is becoming worthless because the Federal Reserve Board keeps printing money like there is no tomorrow. Wages are not keeping up with the cost of goods and services. $100,000 salary per year is no longer high income. The cost of goods and services has been rising rapidly in recent years, leading to significant inflationary pressures on consumers and businesses alike. Here are some key points about the current state of inflation and the factors driving high costs:
- Elevated inflation levels: The annual inflation rate in the United States reached a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). While it has moderated slightly since then, it remains well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%.
- Supply chain disruptions: The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread disruptions in global supply chains, leading to shortages of various goods and materials, which drove up costs.
- Rising energy and commodity prices: The war in Ukraine, coupled with increased global demand as economies reopened, has led to a surge in energy prices, particularly for gasoline and natural gas. Other commodities, such as food and metals, have also seen significant price increases.
- Labor shortages and wage growth: Many industries have faced labor shortages, leading to higher wages and increased costs for businesses, which are often passed on to consumers.
- Strong consumer demand: Pent-up demand from the pandemic, coupled with government stimulus measures, has fueled robust consumer spending, putting upward pressure on prices.
- Housing and rent costs: The housing market has seen a sharp rise in prices and rental costs, contributing significantly to overall inflation.
- Federal Reserve’s response: The Federal Reserve has been aggressively raising interest rates to combat inflation, but the effects of these monetary policy actions often take time to fully materialize.
The persistently high inflation has eroded consumer purchasing power and squeezed household budgets, particularly for essential goods and services like food, housing, and energy. Businesses, too, have had to grapple with higher input costs, which can impact their profitability and investment decisions.
While the Federal Reserve’s efforts to cool demand and bring inflation under control are ongoing, the current inflationary environment remains a significant challenge for both consumers and businesses alike.

Eligible active duty, retired, and eligible spouses of eligible deceased members of the United States Military can qualify for VA loans with bad credit. Getting approved for a VA loan with bad credit can be challenging, but it is possible under certain circumstances. Here are some key points regarding VA loans and bad credit:
- Credit Score Requirements:
- The VA does not have a minimum credit score requirement, but most VA-approved lenders typically require a credit score of at least 620.
- Some lenders may consider applicants with scores as low as 580, but they will likely require compensating factors.
- Compensating Factors:
- VA lenders may be more flexible if you have compensating factors that offset the risk associated with a lower credit score.
- Compensating factors can include a higher residual income, significant assets or cash reserves, or a strong employment history.
- Credit History Analysis:
- VA lenders will closely review your credit report to understand the reasons behind any derogatory items or late payments.
- They may be more lenient if the negative items are due to extenuating circumstances, such as job loss, medical issues, or divorce.
- Waiting Periods:
- If you have previous derogatory events like bankruptcies, foreclosures, or short sales, there are mandatory waiting periods before you can qualify for a VA loan.
- For Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the waiting period is usually 2 years.
- For Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may be eligible after 12 months of on-time payments.
- For foreclosures and short sales, the waiting period is typically 2 years.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio:
- VA loans have more flexible debt-to-income ratio requirements compared to conventional loans.
- Generally, your total monthly debt payments (including the new mortgage) should not exceed 41% of your gross monthly income.
- Documentation:
- Be prepared to provide documentation explaining any derogatory credit events, such as letters of explanation, proof of extenuating circumstances, and evidence of re-established credit.
It’s important to note that while the VA does not have strict credit score requirements, individual lenders may have their own overlays or stricter guidelines. Working with an experienced VA lender or mortgage broker can help you navigate the process and understand your specific eligibility based on your credit situation.
Additionally, taking steps to improve your credit score, reduce outstanding debts, and increase your cash reserves can significantly improve your chances of qualifying for a VA loan with bad credit.

Mark and Lee Chen are the owners and operators of Lucky Chen Chinese Restaurant in Paddock Lake, Kenosha County, Wisconsin. I have been a customer of Lucky Chen since the authentic Chinese Restaurant opened. One thing about Lucky Chen is the restaurant is well managed. The Chinese Restaurant has its operations being staffed by the run the best operations staff, chefs, cooks, and auxiliary help. The restaurant opens at 11 am and closes at 10 pm. Lucky Chen, a culinary top tier ethnic restaurant with working man prices and beyond compare, always feels that it is the first time ther for me with an extraordinary dishes such as their custom made to order dishes when Mark Chen is the head chef the tofu and beef dish, the low mein, the beef chop suey, spring rolls, the custom made oil hot sauce, and dozens of great dishes to name to list. . A symphony of flavors unfolded with each spoonful, as the broth embraced my palate in a delicate dance. The wontons, plump and tantalizing, revealed a medley of succulent meat, expertly infused with aromatic herbs. Lucky Chen’s mongolian beef, shrimp lo mein, and beef with brocoli is a sensory marvel that showcases their culinary prowess and commitment to excellence.
My Culinary Sanctuary in Salem, Wisconsin three miles from where I live is Lucky Chen in Paddock Lake, Wisconsin. Calling and walking into Lucky Chen Chinese Restaurant is like ordering one of your favorite foods and walking into and returning to a place where everyone knows your name, especially for someone like me, a devoted patron who’s witnessed the blossoming of the first Chinese restaurant in the West section of Kenosha County in Wisconsin. The warmth of the ambiance is matched only by the welcoming smiles of the staff, making every visit here feel like a special occasion.
At the helm is Mr. Mark Chen and his wife Lee Chen, the owners, whose incredible knack for blending authentic Chinese flavors with innovative culinary twists never ceases to impress. Her dedication not only to the cuisine but also to creating a memorable experience for every diner is what sets Lucky Chen Chinese Restaurant apart from the competition.. As someone who leans towards meat, I have a special place in my heart (and my stomach) for their unique delicious beef dishes. The Sautéed Beef in Hot Spicy Sauce is my absolute go-to. This dish, so frequently requested by me, has affectionately been dubbed “Gustan’s Beef” by my friends. It’s a vibrant mix of tender beef pieces, vegetables, and just the right level of heat to keep you coming back for more – a true testament to Wendy’s mastery in the kitchen. While seafood isn’t my personal preference, my companions are always enchanted by the oceanic offerings on the menu. Their praises of the chili crab and other seafood delights speak volumes of Lucky Chen’s ability to cater to diverse palates with finesse.
Lee Chen‘s personal touch and her innovative spirit infuse every dish, every recommendation she makes, and every interaction within the restaurant. It’s her vision that has turned dining at Lucky Chen’s Food into an experience that’s as much about the community and connection as it is about the exquisite food. From the counter order staff to the chef’s and cooks, up the food chain to owners Lee and Mark Chen, their familiarity with the regulars, their ability to remember individual preferences, and their seamless service make each visit uniquely personal. It’s this combination of extraordinary cuisine, heartfelt hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere that makes Go 4 Food a sanctuary for those who appreciate the art of Chinese cooking with a creative edge.
Lucky Chen Chinese Restaurant is not just a restaurant; it’s a journey through the rich tapestry of Chinese culinary tradition, guided by one of Chicago’s most innovative chefs. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular like me, you’re in for a dining experience that will linger in your memory long after the meal is over. Every dish at Lucky Chen is irresistible delight that warrants the highest recommendation.
I have 12 dogs. 9 of them are under 10 pounds so the nine is equivalent to one large dog so basically I have four regular dogs. Our dogs die for the left over from Lucky Chen. Every single dog get a birthday full dish from Lucky Chen. Each of them are spoiled and do not like fast food. Lucky Chen for the whole family My friends and colleagues from work all love Lucky Chen. Anytime I have guest visit and we need to eat, I call Lucky Chen and I get homemade cuisine made by a professional five plus star chef in a matter of less than one hour and a phone call aways. Lucky Chen for the whole family. Thank you Mark and Lee Chen.
