In case you’ve been hiding under a rock- the economy is having some issues. More than 2 million people lost their job in 2008. The stock market has taken a beating and lost as much as 40% of the value it had a year ago. The government rushed through a $700 billion rescue package for Wall Street, then fought tooth and nail to make sure the Big 3 auto makers couldn’t get the $30 billion they need just to survive. A former head of NASDAQ and wizard of Wall Street investor admitted that his investments were nothing more than a Ponzi scheme that has resulted in a $50 billion collapse rippling through businesses and charities around the world.
