Brother can you spare a dime?

The header of this post is a title of a song written in 1931 by lyricist E. Y. "Yip" Harburg and composer Jay Gorney. I love this song because it shows the human condition of living in this world. It reminds us that even though we may have moved mountains and created worlds with our hands, we are still vunerable. Everyone has had a point in our live's when we are down on our luck and lost.

I think our nation has the same issues. We have forged mighty momuments and achievements:The Hoover Dam, The space program and spray-on hair. When in the heck did we decide to stop moving forward? We are a nation of innovators and doers whose ingenuity knew no bounds, but what about today......

Today we have stagnated, forced ourselves into a cage we built by tethering capitalism and creating false markets. We began a game within a game betting against ourselves. Who loses.... We lose.

There is a silver lining. We can become more aware as Americans and look into what our money goes into funding. Then use our collective common sense to run them out of business.

Action starts with you..and me... Together we can change this situation....back to a pleasant more fruitful future.
