What comes around goes around | Do you believe in getting back more in return than what you give? Is most of America too far hurt by the recession that it's just to hard to help out a stranger, neighbor or friend?

America's Frankenstein | We can learn a lot from watching movies. From the movie Frankenstein we can see that some people can appear to be terrible and sometimes often others that look like them are labeled monsters.

Our Children's Future | It is really necessary to cut funding for schools and teachers. Has the economy taken such a toll that we spent all of the federal funds on big banks and left none for schools and teachers.

Now my worry is that they will have even an opportunity to complete school with the same chioces I had growing up. | 3/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Make a Date for Spring Break | By some estimates the U.S. is about half way through this major recession. Day in and day out, dollar by dollar, and step by step we grind it out, trying to work things out. With tax season here and a small hope for a tax return what are your plans. All of us deserve a small vacation, even if for an extended weekend. Is it wrong during these times to relax and get a way to rejuvinate our mental and physical health? | 3/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Are you Prepared? | If the American economy was to have more set backs would you be prepared for the worst? You should be able to answer some "what-if" questions.

The American Voyage | The year is passing by so fast and many issues for restoring the economy and creating new jobs have still not been addressed or are slow in taking affect. Like a ship congress and sails on with the dreams and hopes of many Americans, and at the same times carries fears and anxiety in the gallows hopefully to be dropped in the deepest part of the ocean.

Socialized Healthcare Bullet | President Obama and Congress are pushing forward with plans for a social healthcare plan. Will such a plan be affordable and effective. What will be the cost to you and will such a plan lack efficiency as seen in many other programs? Why the huge rush to decide on and enact a plan? History has shown that bad information and not taking time to evaluate all avenues has led to stock market crashes and maybe even a war. Shouldn't we be given a choice to decide if a plan would be right for us? | 8/1/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
