Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

S. Lindsey's picture

“A year after the collapse of home values triggered the financial crisis and Great Recession, another rapid and irrational rise in the price of assets — whether stocks, home values, oil or something else — would seem unlikely. After all, major bubbles through history have been spaced decades, if not centuries, apart.”

Mike King's picture

In just over three weeks Peachtree City will choose its next mayor who will inherit,arguably, the worst economic scenario of any mayor in our history. A scenario brought about, in part, by city leadership devoid of the fortitude to take unpopular actions so as to avert or minimize the current financial crisis so as not to jeopardize their future political aspirations.
