US Consumption the Greatest Currency in the World

Sadly, the world depends on US consumption to raise it’s standards. Our consumption is the world\’s biggest Ponzi scheme. 

Even sadder, our government sets the example and encourages us to do so.

The challenges? 

Meaningful employment for people throughout the world.

Determining how much ‘stuff’ we really need and if we should make or buy it and from where.

Production and transportation of ‘stuff’ should have least impact on environment.

Enough leisure or slow time to actually enjoy our ‘stuff’.

Some things to ponder as we enter 2009.
