| Maybe we can learn from Canada |
It is really hard to find anybody who seems upbeat about America’s economic outlook – particularly in this area where unemployment hasn’t been as high as it is now since the Great Depression. Nor has the high unemployment lasted as long as it has since the 1930s.

| Do we continue in Afghanistan? |
At this point, just let the politicians who created the mess clean it up. It was once a just war that started on Sept. 12, 2001. It now seems to be nothing more than an inconvenience. Our politicians have bigger fish to fry now and they need dollars to spend to appease potential voters.

| Thus far, it's been a very slow recovery |
For quite some time now, economic indicators have shown that things are looking up in our economy. The problem is, we don’t seem to be feeling it. Particularly in this area, there hasn’t been such a high level of economic funkiness since the late 1970s.
