I used to to "root cause" analysis for a living and if you do one on our economic woes, it will all lead back to our currency and credit (and therefore our economy) is in the hands of one private, investor-held bank -- The Federal Reserve Click here for a succinct explanation as to how this is possible. I can't do better.

The First Real Step In Fixing Our Economy

Then....
Contact your Congressional Representative and tell them to vote yes on H.R. 833 to Abolish the Federal Reserve. It truly is the only change that can get us out of this mess we are in.How The Fed Has HIjacked our Democracy
On Being Informed and Engaged
In his farewell speech Dwight Eisnehower warned: "We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together." We have seen that very military/industrial complex hijack our economy as well the privately held investor bank, The Federal Reserve. Time to become informed and engaged and let your President and Representative know what you feel they should be doing.
Friedman and Reagan Had It Wrong....

...according to Paul Krugman, 2008 Nobel Prize Winner for Economics. At least that's what he told Tavis Smiley on his show, Sunday. That is to say Krugman believes that that there should be a "trickle down" in a trickle down economy, unlike Reagan Friedman who had no patience for capitalists who claimed that "business is not concerned 'merely' with profit but also with promoting desirable 'social' ends; that business has a 'social conscience' and takes seriously its responsibilities for providing employment, eliminating discrimination, avoiding pollution and whatever else may be the catchwords of the contemporary crop of reformers." Look at where that "Gordon Gecko" thinking has gotten us..
To prove his point Krugman presents the following annual rate of growth of real revenue per capita over some cycles:
1973-1979: 2.7%
1979-1990: 1.8%
1990-2000: 3.2%
2000-2007 (probable peak): approximately zero
Then he asks, "Do you see the revenue booms from the Reagan and Bush tax?" And responds, "Neither do I."
So why then do we think that the current bailout is going to work? Sure, we keep the banks from collapsing for the time being, but if the bailout doesn't trickle down to the average home owner, consumer, borrower aren't we just staving off what we have seen coming for the last eight years?

The eco-elephant in the global living room, that no one will talk about when it comes to global warming is telling those people who love to have babies, especially the ones with big SUV's to drive around their families, that they need to limit the number of children.
