I've been watching the presidential debates, intermixed rather depressingly with the reports from numerous media stations about the downtrodden economy. Both candidates claim to have a plan, a concrete way to fix the economy and save everyone concerned. Yet, neither one can at least to my level of satisfaction explain how they plan to do it. Obama, I must say though, seem to be at least more in touch with what is really going on in our world. Unlike, Mr. McCain that has yet, to really bridge that important gap yet. Don't get me wrong, I am greatly disappointed with both candidates plans for the future. The Dow Jones dropping hundreds of points every day, Unemployment rates increasing exponentially in some areas. In my area...there just are no jobs, including the one, I was hoping to get....
Yet, there is a bit of cynical humor out there...Personally, I find the idea hilarious...but very distasteful. Artist Laura Gilberts whose subject is Money, Men and Mischief distributed 10,000 of the fake bills in front of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, Oct. 7th to protest and call 'real' attention to the economic crisis gripping our nation. Gilberts' print is called 'The Zero Dollar'. Visit her gallery at http://www.glibertgallery.org/ .
