This has been an extreme and often disgusting political camp pain. Now the home stretch is finally here for US registered voters as we approach 50 days, which could become filthy before we cast our and follow our consciences.

After more than a year of an unusually toxic and dangerous period, could it all come down to a survival between white only, or in living color? Much can happen in the final fifty days.

PROBLEMS UNSOLVED

Submitted by ub on

Our political paralysis and America’s economic challenges require a common understanding of competitiveness and the true underpinnings of prosperity. We define competitiveness as follows: A nation is competitive to the extent that firms operating there can compete successfully in domestic and international markets while also lifting the living standards of the average citizen.
