Tonight after work, I went to see the new documentary I.O.U.S.A.

The film focuses on what it identifies as the four major deficits in America: the federal deficit, the savings deficit, the trade deficit, and the leadership deficit. And while the subject of economics does not usually make for edge-of-your-seat excitement, I thought the presentation was very educational and engaging. I liked it!

Welcome! Thanks for visiting.

E. Pluribus Unum: Out of Many, One...

This is the United States of America. Yes, we've got problems, and yes, we've got challenges. But if you look back over the history of this great nation, there have always been problems; there have always been challenges. Yet together there is no problem we cannot solve; no challenge we cannot overcome. This is the United States of America, and it's time we lived up to our name!
