In a recent New York Times Op-Ed piece, Paul Krugman, the noted Economist, Nobel Prize Winner & Princeton Professor said, "...these days America is looking like the Bernie Madoff of economies; for many years it was held in respect, even awe, but it turns out to have been a fraud all along." Ouch. These are very strong words from such a brilliant man.
That got us thinking. If our economy, or at least our much-vaunted financial system, was a fraud, then what about the long cherished American Dream? Was that concept just a big, fat fraud too?
