Ah yes, the first "constant" variable has been set and the political junkies have already ran their formulas. Well, by the grace of a good college education, I too have obtained a moderate version o…

So lets say there are only three people in the world and one of them is the government. The government turns to the other two and says "I have 10 dollars to give away, but I don't know who to choose." One says, "please give me the $10, as I have no…
I doubt the Republicans will take either house of Congress.
If they do, it is too bad because I agree that voters will primarily be voting based on the economy which is still struggling to get out of the hole that President Obama found when he took…
One website said: 44 in the house, 7 in the senate both republican
So the penny in my pocket (which costs a nickel to make), will be worth more than the penny in my checking account? That seems silly to me...
I don't think any politician from any side of the isle would argue for a recession. That is ludicrous. The idea to maintain a recession for the sake of political gain, at a time when the incumbent’s popularity is so low, come on?

One of the principle ideas of the EU is to have a currency and market that is large enough to compete in a global economy. The amount of resources each country was utilizing in exchanging their currency, tying laws and regulations with each country,…
I think the size of the community determines how isolated or interdependent the community's economy functions. Finding coins and making an ad hoc observation are a way to show this...
Pay phones? Where can you find one of those? They have gone a wa…
My niece had a school project where she had to find commemerative coins from each state. She sent out an email looking for help. I enjoyed the search for these coins. I learned a lot including how the letter on the coins tells which which mint they…
Also, think of all the uses of coins that are no longer in our economy. There used to be pay phones everywhere. Now it is hard to find one. Vending machines probably get more dollars than coins these days. I once took a bunch of coins to a casino an…
