http://bit.ly/storyofbroke — The United States isn't broke; we're the
richest country on the planet and a country in which the richest among us
are doing exceptionally well. But the truth is, our economy is broken,
producing more pollution, greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other
country. In these and so many other ways, it just isn't working. But rather
than invest in something better, we continue to keep this 'dinosaur
economy' on life support with hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax
money. The Story of Broke calls for a shift in government spending toward
investments in clean, green solutions—renewable energy, safer chemicals and
materials, zero waste and more—that can deliver jobs AND a healthier
environment. It's time to rebuild the American Dream; but this time, let's
build it better.

*Annie Leonard | "The Story of Broke"*
Annie Leonard, The Story of Stuff Project: "You know that future we all
want and nearly every candidate promises us - great schools, a healthy
environment, clean energy, good jobs. But a funny thing happens to our
money on its way to that better future. It seems to disappear. And by the
time we get around to investing in it, all we hear is, 'sorry, not this
year, we're broke.' In fact, we're so broke, they say, that we have no
choice but to slide backwards, cutting things that made this country great
- like schools and the EPA , maybe even Social Security and Medicare. Wait
a minute. Broke? I'm sending in my share of hard-earned cash every month
and so are you!"
