Today is Blog Action Day, and the theme is poverty. It seems especially appropriate since over 60% of American’s believe we are heading into a depression. The depression was an economic time that most of us only know from history books and references in depressing films.

Would a sudden influx of poverty stop us from moving in a positive direction? Issues like universal health care, and ending wars take on a new sense of urgency when dealing with millions of new additions to the lower class.
I thought instead of writing a new blog post, I would like to some of my previous posts about financial issues and poverty. I hope they’re useful.
