Baby Finances

They've made my childhood horror story into a cartoon! A happy cartoon. When I was in first grade I sat next to this girl - I can't remember her name. We'll call her "Ashley" because Ashleys in my day still spelled their name with a 'y'. Now there's all this "Ashlee" and "Ashlie" and "Ashly" bull pucky. We sat next to each other in those great little desks that you used to have with the legs that had adjustable heights, so each grade your desk was a little bit taller. We had those huge plastic bins that fit inside the desk, so you didn't have to dig anything out of the back. You just had to pull out the tray light a giant draw with no track. I wonder if desks in public schools have changed at all - they should have tracks now. Do kids even have desks anymore? Anyways, in first grade, we did a lot of coloring. Of course, we weren't allowed to have the 64 crayon jumbo pack with 11ty thousand different colors ...

There's a huge national debate about Healthcare going on right now. No one really knows the details - everyone is worried about them and therefore spreading rumors. It's like high school all over again. Why am I disappointed? B/c David Axelrod the Head of Marketing US policy to its citizens has failed at marketing this one. Too much hype, not the right sell to the right people, and un-targeted marketing is pushing public opinion down quickly. The marketing department of the white house needs to pick this one up quick and get a grassroots organization to start pushing support of this bill. This grassroots organization could rial support where opposition has hit hard already. Don't go on the defensive, don't give up, and do what you did in the election. This is not a policy problem - b/c no one knows what's even in the policy yet. This is a marketing problem. Overpromising and delivering nothing so far. People are getting antsy. Please, for the love of healt...
