  • a March 20th update from the US Congressional Budget Office on the long-term effects of the Federal Deficits (all young, yes young, people under the age of 35-40, please pay attention to this issue).

This is nuts!

Take the time to become informed in order to make proper leaps of faith where needed or to stay put where necessary.
