This is a draft letter to my congressman and two senators. I recommend that you send your own letter to your congressman and your two senators.  This is serious business. I attached a recent commentary from the New York Times. I ask you to take serious measures to reverse global warming. The fires in Canada and…

They have much enthusiasm from group solidarity.  In the late 1960s and much of the 1970s, I was an avid Dallas Cowboy fan. An especially enjoyable time was as a student at St. Thomas High School. I do not understand how people in huge numbers consider a narcissistic, sociopathic billionaire a savior.  He gives tax cuts to…

In 1969, I started taking graduate level courses in economics at UT-Austin when I first real about trickle down economics.

In the United States and many other countries, supermarkets throw away about one-third the harvested food due to a blemish, an unacceptable shape or unsightly color. Matthew Drummond in Poverty, by America states that federal food assistance is largely administered by state governments who have much leeway…

I read this commentary in The Nation and wrote a letter to Congressman Al Green. Reductions in the Pentagon budget are long overdue.  The Soviet Union closed its doors on December 26, 1991 but you would not know it by looking at the US military budget which is equal to the next 10 countries in line. Reduce…
