Do you understand the National Debt?

This is a great video that was put out by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.  Everyone should watch this!  There is no good excuse for not being educated about how our country’s financial irresponsibility will impact our future.

 

Thanks for showing me this, Kim.

Apple’s new iPod Shuffle

It’s hard to believe that they can fit 1,000 songs on a player that is smaller than a AA battery.  The only drawback is that you have to use the headphones that come with it (controls are built into the headphones).  Moderately high cool factor, though.

Not Looking Good...

I'm not the biggest optimist when it comes to the economy.  Here's a graph that shows the monthly close of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since October 1928.  Some think that things will be turning around just any ole' day now.  We have a whole lot of downward momentum.  I think we still have a tough road ahead of us.

This is NOT me!

Fortune 10

GM loses $0.21 for every dollar that you spend on one of their vehicles.  Why are we bailing them out?  They are failing!  Now, they are failing on the taxpayer's quarter.  Notice that GM lost 3 times what Wal-Mart MADE!
