global income inequality and its cost

Income inequality is surging, and there are few countries where it is rising faster than the United States. The distance between rich and poor is greater in America than nearly all other developed countries, making the US a leader in a trend that economists warn has dire consequences. GlobalPost sets out on a reporting journey to get at the ‘ground truth’ of inequality through the lenses of education, race, immigration, health care, government, labor and natural resources. The hope is to hold a mirror up to the US to see how it compares to countries around the world. Do read this article- The Great Divide -from GlobalPost.

a quote


Sometimes..
we need to be hurt in order to grow
we must fall in order to know
we must lose in order to gain
Some lessons are learned best through pain.
