pervades our daily lives - from reports on the early morning
newscasts to gossip around the water cooler to dinner table

impact of policies and business decisions. It's easy to slip

too high, good-paying jobs are being shipped overseas, Americans
don't save enough. Other issues become hijacked by political
partisans to advance their agendas: trade must be fair , tax
cuts will pay for themselves , there will be no money left in
the social security till after the baby boomers loot it In Smart
