Why American consumers can't add

We all know illiteracy is bad, but failing at math is worse. How America's lack of basic math skills contributed to the housing bubble, and lots of other problems.

When I published Gotcha Capitalism two years ago, I was in for a big surprise. As I talked about systemic hidden fee fraud all around the country, many, many friends (and even co-workers) found me and asked in hushed tones, “What’s a mutual fund?” “What’s comprehensive and collision?” “What’s a mortgage point?”

Arts programs

So, first time here. Thought I'd start it off with a blog.
Well, my original idea when I first stumbled upon this site was to help start more arts programs in schools without them, or grade D/F schools.
The school district I am in, is going through major budget cuts. Which means cutting out extracurriculars such as art. Coming from an art high school, I wish younger kids will be able to have an exposure to the arts.

We are having a concert at Nashua high school south tuesday june 10 at 7-9. it will feature some of NH’s best and brightest doing what they do best. it will also have a variety of different styles and many schools will be represented. the whole point of the concert is to not only show great music but to also show how young people can be rallied up for change. These people all want to change the world and to save a life. Proceeds are going to the global fund. And that charity deals with AID’s victims and Malaria victims and TB victims.

I have never been more tired or more anxious in my life. For the past month I have given up everything I love and care fore, all for one thing, my ONE VOICe concert. With all the complications that have happened I have felt like I was ready to quite or just give up. But in my life that hasn’t ever been an option. I remember how easy everything seemed on paper and that’s when things got bad. First thing was that every one was busy and that people weren’t feeling well.
