This is where we get to sound off about some of the things we care about by creating links to important organizations and websites!

But first a word about the economy -

After the bush tax cuts for the wealthy, it should be no surprise that the economy is in the bad shape it is in. Very bad investments were made with all the excess cash floating around, and it did not go into building the economy. Put simply - a lot of money rose to the top where it was frittered away in casino investments, while people below had less to spend on real things.

This is not rocket science!

ergo - as we move forward, it is important to remember what got us into this mess: tax cuts for the wealthy and loose financial regulations.

The National Overhead -

While the economy did "well" - the cost of certain consumer goods shot up enormously.

The costs of Health Care, Education, and Housing in particular have shot through the roof.

Let us call these the "budget busters" - the "fixed costs" of doing business - items which many families are hard pressed to do with out.

When a company's "fixed costs" exceed the amount it is taking in, this can lead to bankruptcy and collapse. For a family, the consequences can be equally devistating. And so, does it not make sense to take a look at some of these costs, and see how we can make them less of a burden.
