Inaugural Post

This blog was created for the sole purpose of informing and educating friends and family about the current economic and political situations that not only our country faces, but the global community must face.  Too often I hear people ask "what is really going on in the economy?" or "what happened in the credit crisis?".  This blog will discuss, summarize, and answer questions regarding numerous facets of both the current economic situation, political policies, and anything and everything that may be of relation.  

We are facing one of the worst economic downturns in history, and it is important for people not only to understand why, but to understand what is being done about it.  The next post is going to be a recap and evaluation of President Obama's address to Congress.
