Kind of Funny, Sort of Sad, Unfortunately True.

Every now and then I may take the opportunity to blog on something other than health and wellness.

This is my first such post - a sad but true picture I ran into while perusing the web - topical given the near Trillion dollar 'bailout' just manufactured by the European Union. The saddest part is that the world is so focused on the European economy, no one seems to be talking about the good old USA who's fiscal health is far worse than that of Greece.

Here is a simple analogy - two patients arrive at the Emergency Room, one is bleeding profusely (Greece) and doctors quickly rush to try and stop the bleeding - hoping it is possible. The other patient looks ok but is bleeding very badly internally (USA) - Triage has the 'healthier' looking patient put off to the side while the medical team rushes to save the more 'serious' patient. By the time they turn their focus back to the 'better' of the two, it will be far too late to do any 'saving'.

I may just start burying gold bars in my back yard. LOL
