Rumors.

From Woodstock to Communal Living
The Baby Boom Collapses
August 02, 2010 - Commentary on the News
The credit crunch did not create the present pressure on public borrowing and spending. It merely called attention to the age-related fiscal crisis ahead. Thanks to the Great Recession, we simply got to the party early. http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=6845

Anti-Love
July 15, 2010 - Commentary on the News
Three years ago, I was cast as part of the ensemble in the musical, Parade. It was a dramatical show about a Jewish man, Leo Frank, who was falsely accused of murdering one of his 13-year old factory workers, Mary Phagan. How someone was inspired to make a musical of such a traumatic event, I will never know. However, I had worked with the director of the show in the musical Grease before-hand, so I thought I would enjoy being in another musical. Boy was I mistaken! http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=6835

It’s About Jobs
Finance
July 12, 2010 - Commentary on the News
It is difficult to imagine the personal anguish that some 9 million Americans feel when pick up their unemployment checks this week. As the news tries to spin the monthly job report, it is clear that a few more private sector jobs are not enough. We need 225,000 every month for 3 years to re-employ the 8 million workers who lost their jobs. Additionally, we need another 125,000 a month just to keep up with population growth. Instead we’re still losing. http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=6834
