Have you ever stopped to wonder about where our standard of living is heading? And I don’t mean comparing today to yesterday or even last year, when gas was relatively cheaper, restaurants weren’t cutting their portions while simultaneously increasing their prices, and the idea of 10 percent plus unemployment sounded like a joke.
I mean comparing how we are living today to how we lived a decade or two ago, how our parents lived and their parents before that? With this blog I plan to keep these questions front and center as I explore the life events that are unfolding today. Events such as state revenue shortfall leading to budget deficits and culminating in unprecendented actions by state institutions, such as what UCLA is having to do right now.
The implications of our nation’s decay from within are monumentally profound, and history is replete with examples that teach us that when we get to the point where the citizens fail to progress, the empire is doomed. Are we on our way?
