The World Economy: FIX IT ALL
To the Editor:
We sit at the table of crisis but also at the table of opportunity. Clearly we must bail out the mistakes of “Wall Street”. Let’s fix it all for good.
One Trillion dollars for stabilizing the markets…why stop there?
How about printing TEN TRILLION DOLLARS and shipping all of those dollars to those that hold [...]
Capitalism vs. Socialism – Why not have both?
To the Editor:
We can have peace in our lifetime if we all do our part.
This must be a partnership of every individual, non-profit organization, corporation, and government – all working together to bring the basic needs to all of humanity.

How Much is a Billion Dollars?

I was under the impression we lived in a democratic capitalistic society, which encouraged and supported ambitious people to go after their dreams, where only the strong survive in a business arena? There are still intelligent individuals out there with that burning desire to succeed, and willing to take the risks required to make their ideas a reality.

Perhaps the heads of these large corporations looking for bailouts forgot that basic principal, which is most likely the very reason for their companies’ poor performance.
