A recent Gallup poll reported that in 1983 54% interviewed though it very or somewhat likely the would have a better life than their parents while 44% didn't. In 2003the Likely had climbed to 66% and the unlikelys dropped to 31%. This year the likelys are at 44% and the unlikelys are at 55%. Christian Century titled this "Future Funk."
Are folk finally beginning to see the supply side economics just doesn't work, but we seem stuck with dumb idea. Of course, the upper 2% of the country think this is just fine.
There is no blessing in being poor and folk who think Jesus said that just aren't reading the bibles very well. We to have an abundant life, but that means everybody. We're supposed to make the happen. It's part of being keepers of our brothers and sisters.
With quality of life figures declining over the years it is hard to remain positive about the economy. Materialists beware.
