The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

A Great Economics Resource for Teachers (or Proactive Parents)

By JLP | July 13, 2010

The authors of Common Sense Economics*—one of my favorite books on economics—have created a great website for parents, students, teachers and professors. You can check it out at CommonSenseEconomics.com. There you will find PowerPoint presentations for various economic discussions, reading guides for students, review questions, and suggested reading.

As a parent, I’m going to utilize this resource. I’m going to make sure my kids understand some basic economic concepts BEFORE they graduate from high school.
