From complex to simple: debt crisis for dummies
When words such as “debt” and “deficit” come up, it is usually connoted with negative terms such as “bankruptcy,” “crisis,” and “excessive government spending.” But to understand the logistics of the debt crisis of an entire country (or continent!), it is important to first understand what “debt crisis” actually means. Although we hear about the “world economic crisis” quite frequently via the media, many of us don’t truly understand the logistics behind those words. [more]

Clark on Christmas
“Caroling, caroling thru the snow, Christmas bells are ringing!” sweetly sings the voice of Nat King Cole as it pours through the radio speakers. You sit by the fire, warmed not only by its flickering flames, but also by your mug of hot cocoa, tightly grasped between your two hands. An amber light from forth the hearth illuminates the surrounding room, revealing garland wreaths and ribbons, while “It’s a Wonderful Life” plays on the television behind you. The windows are beginning to frost, reminding you of the icy world that lies outside, but you continue to stare through those glass panes, waiting for the first flurry of white that will create the winter wonderland for which you pray. Christmas time has returned. [more]
