The economic landscape.

How is it that we have a financial culture where a home made out of wood and sheet rock costs 200,000 to 500,000 dollars and the home only lasts 30-90 years? In most condos, you can hear your neighbor through the walls.

How is it that our food costs a family of three or four 1,000 to 1,500 dollars every 30 days but we end up overweight and unhealthy ?

How is it that we can spend four years in an educational system and it costs 30,000 to 60,000 dollars (sometimes 150,000), but we still don’t understand the basic principles of grammar?

Our culture rests on the principle of the 30 year note. The long-term financial indebtedness. The form, but not the substance.

That is why some Americans use credit cards to purchase food. We max out our leveraged income. We supply our consumption with high-interest loans.

It’s time to change.
