On Debt and Deficits – Alexander Draine
Draine on Society
Recently, several pieces of legislation crafted by Congress have come under fire from politicians for their effect on the national debt.

Also, a lower cost of the living beyond survival makes those efforts at building capital more attainable.

A Poem by Lazarus Belle
There is a sound of snow, falling, down on
The frozen branches and the garret sides.
The Winter sun’s horizon coldly glows
The leafless tips of arbor skeletons.
