Gov Debt is a problem. Who caused it? Republican tax cuts? Unfunded boomer entitlements? With Social Security trust fund running out in less than 6 yrs, current Senate candidates will have to make unpopular decisions.
You can make a career by always predicting an economic crisis. Peter Schiff and Steve Keen spew fear for profit. The formula works. Criticize "mainstream econ" and say a crisis will come. Watch the views roll in. What can we do about it?
Inflation coming in hot! 1. Some is old news, gasoline prices may have peaked in mid May. 2. But Core PPI, which nets out gas prices is trending up. Still reason for concern.

Some nice news this fine Friday!

Who would have guessed five years ago that Journalism (2.3%) would have a far lower unemployment rate than Computer Engineering (7.8%)? Economics is highest paid non-engineering major, but with generally better unemployment. An early career med wage of $72k w/ unemp of 3.5%.
