Fiscal Therapy
great read in Mother Jones by Pulitzer prize winner David Cay Johnston - author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You With the Bill). He calls the approach he offers a "reverse engineering" of the economic catastrophe that's been building over the past three or more decades in the United States.


"the preamble to the Constitution tells us the nation's reason for being in 52 words that can be reduced to six principles: society, justice, peace, security, commonwealth, and freedom. Individual riches don't make the list."
