Maybe I said this already but nobody really reads this blog anyway so I can repeat myself if it makes me feel better.
We have a debt driven economy and that is the fundamental problem with the economy. Years ago a business would save money for hard times, they would draw from their savings during [...]
Who is Theora, you ask? If you watched the debate last night she posed the Internet question 28 minutes into the debate. She asked, “What sacrifices will you ask every American to make?”
Ever since I watched “The War” on PBS, I have wondered this same thing. American’s supported the Second World War because [...]

I’m so fed up with the media and the presidential election.
