Let's Get It Started!

This blog is dedicated to the honest discussion of current issues of national and international importance.  Currently, the U.S.  economy has taken center-stage in my consciousness....so at least in the short-term, I would like to explore the pros and cons of government actions to address the current economic downturn.  Any honest government action must be based on perceptions of reality and on assumptions about the present and future.  In light of this, these issues are appropriately fair game, as well.
