    Debt Debt Debt

    Would be glad to. Give a reference, but you missed my point. My point is that the demographic bulge, called "baby boomers," was in their peak earning years. Only in the last decade did they realized they must greatly increase their saving rate and with kids finally out of college, were able...

    Pink sheet executions

    Goodbye American Production (and Maybe Innovation, Too)

    As retired physics professor, I am no doubt biased, but think the root cause of US decline article fears is in the attitude of college students. Too many want the easy wealth being a corporate lawyer or Wall Street type, etc can bring and too few are willing to work hard in the science and...
