INTRODUCTION : I had a serious quality-of-life health problem around 2003 to 2006. I have documented that problem in my 'I was a Sugar Guinea Pig' blog post. It was actually becoming a life-threatening problem, but I found the cause and solution in time. In any event, in trying to figure a way that I could get the word out --- better than these blog posts --- I finally realized that I should put my message on T-shirts --- and wear those T-shirts frequently. From getting out the word on health issues (learned the hard way), it was then a natural transition to think of messages for t-shirts in other areas --- energy, environment, economy, government, media. Ideas for t-shirts on the economy came rather naturally during the U.S. (and world) financial "meltdown" of 2008 --- in particular, the events like Treasury Secretary Paulson's $750-billion bailout scheme --- to buy mortgages, but then flopping over to give money to banks (his old buddies) with no uses specified, SEC Chairman Cox essentially preventing the employees of the SEC from performing their regulatory duties, Bernie Madoff's Ponzi-scheme that relieved investors of about $50-billion of investments. Events like these make it easy to think of ideas for t-shirt messages. The trick is to make the messages concise and to the point.

START OF T-SHIRT DESIGNS on economic issues : I have ideas for multiple designs on economic issues. I am going to record them here, so that I do not forget them. Thus I will have the ideas for reference --- for touch-up and for seeding more ideas. So here are my economy-oriented T-shirt designs in plain-text form --- perhaps with an image file (PNG or JPEG or GIF) added occasionally. I have other blog pages for T-shirts on health issues and energy issues --- and a few more categories to come, such as the environment.

T-SHIRT 1 : Front1 : If the U.S. FINANCIAL SYSTEM were a sport, it would be PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING.   VERY FEW RULES ... that are SELDOM ENFORCED. Back1 : S. E. C. = Sh*tty Enforcement Commission My taxes go for that ?

T-SHIRT 2 : Front2 : Freemarket Capitalism without common-sense, well-enforced rules leads to Financial Chaos.   S.E.C., do the job we are paying you to do ! Back2 : Freemarket Capitalism without common-sense, well-enforced rules is Freedom to Prey.   S.E.C., do the job we are paying you to do !

T-SHIRT 3 : Front1 : FoxNews & CNBC & CNN financial philosophy : Guarantee the Freedom to Prey. So ... Watch your wallet. Back1 : The Neo-con financial philosophy is Guarantee the Freedom to Prey. It's your money they're after. Watch it.
