2015 Edition: Welcome to the Economy Group!

Well, we enter a New Year and a new Congress... Republican (by a slight majority). Already, the Republicans have been taking a swipe at Social Security and out in the States fining taxing people for being energy independent and ensuring the "Right" of management to enslave their workforce. Should be an interesting few years ahead.

With Wages for the vast majority of American workers stagnant for 30 years, crude oil at an artificial low, and the Stock Market at a high. So, we watch.

This statement is as relevant as ever:

Our intention is that the group is welcoming to all, inclusive to differing points of view on topics covering national/international issues related to and affecting our personal and collective economic well being.


It is great to see that in addition to the perennial SMW and WEE features (many thanks to the maintainers and regular contributors to those features) that there are many who come to the Economy Group to post articles and threads of interest. Thanks for those and please keep them coming!

Come on in, pull up a chair, the more the merrier!

Always remember to keep a place for those affected by natural and man-made disasters in your thoughts.
