Following is one of my favorite websites that should be relevant to this forum. If you find the need for data or simple to explain articles on mega-huge unfathomable numbers, linked is a website that does a great job clearing up all the smoke and mirrors and stating things in plain language.

I don't think I can do a better introduction than the Author himself. I put the first paragraph in bold because I think it really fits with the spirit of TF. Well, I really like the third paragraph too so it's also bold!

In some ways we may be SHORT-CHANGING OUR NEXT GENERATION, but blaming it on others will not make it better. Acquiring knowledge and taking action is an individual responsibility.

This is a collection of easy-to-understand picture-reports to increase awareness of certain threats to the economic future & freedom of families and their children, compared to the past - - on family income, debt, savings, government spending, education quality, social security, regulations, taxes, inflation, energy, foreign trade and exchange, voter turnout, trust, national security, and health care.

There are so many great & positive things about our beloved America to celebrate. But, there are many negative trends. Perhaps if more are aware of the negatives even more solutions & positives will result.

The author, a concerned grandfather, was assisted by economists, parents, teachers and students - to help families and youth expand awareness of certain problem trends - - and become better prepared to enhance their future, and their nation's.

Many visitors call this the 'mother' of resource centers of economic & education issues and trends every family and student should understand about today, compared to the past. Regularly updated as a free public service. (you may wish to save this page to your favorites)

Dr. Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize winner for excellence in economics, said in various letters: "I certainly commend you for the Grandfather Economic Report, and for the imaginative way in which you have displayed data highly relevant to very important issues. I am impressed. The analyses are excellent. Your objective is one I fully endorse."
