Do you think that the government should change American currency to make it easier for the blind to distinguish? This could cost the country up to 200 mil. dollars. Should that amount of money be spent in other areas?

How we have to cope with the coming problems is the usual theme, rather than how we can change our ways and become less consumeristic; wasteful of resources and polluting, in an effort to minimise the problem?

...It seem that the ideal that this is the way it is and there is nothing we can do about it, is the only thought-pattern being promoted. Is money really worth more to us than the natural world we live in? Where are we going to take the money to buy food, when the earth is too sick to produce any more?

... that everybody lives in villas with pool instead of concrete flats, drove BMWs instead of Ladas, and was restricted to travel within the entire planet rather than just some Eastern European countries?

Think about it, it would be like our lifestyle today, only better, because there would be no pressure to actually buy any of these things, the government would just give them to you on application, if after 10 years or so.

I guess what I'm really trying to ask is, did we westerners dread communsim so much because we thought it meant living in crappy flats and driving crappy cars in drab countries? Did we ever actually examine the concept for ourselves and visualized if we could make it happen with western values? I know, one of the biggest western values is "own your own stuff" - but who does? It's all mortgages, loans, and company cars... are we actually practising communism right now without knowing it?

What is the basic premise behind supply side economics? Will tax cuts in fact encourage investment in plant and equipment and create employment and simulate the economy. Would it be better to increase demand through government spending and put the money directly into the hands of consumers as the economy is driven by consumer spending?

Let's assume I'm an adult who finished high school, but for whatever reason (maybe I have a child, or I'm working three jobs, or I can't afford it) I never went to college. Also, let's assume I have no assets and no savings, I'm living in an apartment and I don't have any particular skills or abilities. If I were to look for a job, what are my chances of finding something above minimum wage? What is the highest wage/salary I could possibly hope for, if I began an entry level? What are my chances for promotion? If I were earning a minimum wage salary, and I didn't spend money on superfluous things (entertainment), would I be able to survive? Save money? Would my chances be affected if I were a minority? A female?

Let's say I grew up in a dirt poor, lower class family. My parents, for whatever reason, were not able to accumulate any savings. I go through school and graduate, but when I leave I have no money for college. What are my chances of procuring a scholarship and/or loan? Assuming I procure a loan, what are the chances that I will be able to get a job that affords me paying it back in time to accumulate some savings of my own? Assuming I am able to get a job, how long (on average) would it take me to pay back that loan?
