I have been following the Opinion articles in the Kingsland Current by Congressman Mike Conaway and Senator John Cornyn, our representatives in this part of Texas. I have some reflections I want to share.

As a Freelance Writer and avid Researcher, I watch the bigger picture. My friends call me a "walking Library."

Economic Consequences of the Peace

-Is it the Economy where a boat load of our Debt is being held in US Bonds by China?
-The Bankrupt Economy? Most people don't know that the USA was declared Bankrupt with the Emergency Banking Act of 1933. "A stunning 23 page report by Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff titled 'Is the U.S. Bankrupt?' was issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in November, 2005, and quietly posted on their public website.
