In high school, and the simulation game Civilization, I learned about early government using Bread (fill belly) and Circuses (entertainment) to keep the people happy and productive citizens. Over the centuries, our economy and entertainment have evolved.
I think energy prices are now almost as important as food prices, because people need comfortable homes transportation to jobs, and a sense of security. Access to affordable medical care, and reliable ways to save for retirement, are also critically important.
Dave paints a dark picture, of the US now on the edge of a precipice, to help us understand the science of economics, which is at the foundation of the quality of our society, and our hopes for the future. We must first achieve economic literacy, if we are to communicate effectively with political leaders, to demand constructive reform.

Free Incredible Android Apps
Free Incredible Android Apps
As an HTC Incredible Android owner I have spent several hours using and testing hundreds of incredible Android apps in all the categories. If you are reading this article then you are most likely thinking about buying an Android for yourself, buying an Android for someone else, or already own an Android. I am here to share my research results with you or someone you know that is or soon will be an Android user like me. I am going to share with you my top 5 rated and tested free Android apps in the entertainment category. You may ask, why only 5? Well quite honestly if you have more than 5 apps from each of the different categories then you are probably wasting a lot of battery life on your cell phone.
Movies, Flixster Inc.
Movies by Flixster Inc is rated overall by users a 4.5 out of 5 and considered the number 1 app for movie reviews, trailers and showtimes. The Movies by Flixster Inc. app is an amazing movie app where you can get showtimes for the top box office movies. In addition, with this amazing top rated app you can view your local theaters and see what is showing and their show times. Best of all the Movies by Flixster Inc. Now how cool is all of that to have in one app that can show you everything you will ever need in the movie industry. I probably spend a little too much time using my Movies by Flixster Inc. app.
Backgrounds Stylem Media
Backgrounds Stylem Media is also rated overall by users a 4.5 out of 5 by users of this app. I would personally give this app 5 stars. I love to change my background on my Android on a weekly sometime a daily basis dependent upon my mood. In other words, I make my Android background fit my day. The Backgrounds Stylem Media app has over 10,000 remarkable unique designs. I guarantee you will be able to find tons of backgrounds that you would love to place on your Android. Best of all, the Backgrounds Stylem Media app adds new backgrounds daily. There are tons of background categories to choose from: funny, cute, quotes, sunsets, beaches, cars, girly, guys, games, flowers, models, love, Christmas, military, money, sports, city, scary, new years, music, movies, animals, space, etc. A additional piece of information that I want to share with you that I believe makes this app the number 1 wallpaper app for Android is the fact that you can set backgrounds on your contact icons. How cool is that?Once again rated at 4.5 of 5 stars you can get a free app for your Android in the Market that allows to know exactly what is going on with medical, law enforcement, and weather near you or anywhere in the United States and even better anywhere in the World. The scanner radio app is one of the top live scanner radios on your Android that allows you to listen to live audio from over 2,300 police, fire, and weather radios and scanners from around the world. But that is just the beginning, there are new stations being added daily to the scanner radio. You can save your favorite stations, request areas to listen to that are not yet available, get all the 10 codes so you know what the cops are talking about, and so much more. I love sitting outside on a Friday night by the fire pit and listening to the scanner radio for my local city just to see if I know anyone that is getting in trouble. This is just a fun app all around.
Soundboards (100+ Apps Available)
Do you have a favorite television series or movie that you would love to have the sound bites for to get a laugh or two and to share with your friends? Sound bites have always been known and used with Microsoft Outlook email and programs a like that take away from the monotony of incoming emails. Best of all the soundboards don't just have 5 or 6 great sound bites, but anywhere from 50 to over 100 sound bites for each soundboard. Just a few of the great soundboards available are: Austin Powers, Cartman from South Park, Borat, Joe Dirt, Napoleon Dynamite, Friday the movie, The Hangover, Stewie Griffin from The Family Guy, Full Metal Jacket, Dexter, and so many more. Just search the Android Market for your favorite movies or television shows and I bet you will find a soundboard. Sometimes, especially on Monday's, when I wake up not really feeling like doing anything I want to see how my day is going to be so I check my horoscope. If you are into horoscopes then this is the app for you. However, there are also other features this app has that no other horoscope app offers the ability to get a daily tarot reading or even ask a real live psychic a free question. The horoscope tarot app allows you to see into your future with FREE horoscopes, lovescopes, and daily tarot readings. Plus you can get instant, free advice, anytime you want it, including one question answered by a skilled, live psychic advisor. This can cost a lot of money if you go on the internet or call a psychic in your city, but not with this free Android app. What are you waiting for go download the app and see what your future has to offer.
Don't just take it from me, go check these apps out yourself and see how amazing these free incredible Android apps really are. Do what you love with your phone with style.

Top Twitter Clients for Android Phones and Tablets in 2013
Top Twitter Clients for Android Phones and Tablets in 2013
Do you know there are more than 1 million Twitter apps in the world? Yes, it is true. No, these are not Android apps. Most of the Android clients and apps are made and also bring made for websites. Most of these are web based and browser based applications. There are also clients for PC, Mac, iOS, Symbian, Blackberry and such platforms.
Now, as an Android phone and/or tablet owner you need to have a good Twitter client app. You have searched the Play Store already and now is overwhelmed by finding out a lot of such apps. You need to know which one is the best. Don't worry folks, check this list out and read the mini reviews. It would be much easier for you to decide.
Best Android Twitter Client Apps 2014The Android apps world is expanding in a very fast rate. There can be found huge changes within one year. So, we have seen a lot of new android twitter client apps in 2014. There are updates and changes in the existing apps too. So, you must check the latest hub to know which ones are the best in 2014.
Official Twitter AppDon't be surprised, there is an official Twitter client too. Though most of you never like to use it, it is trying to be better day to day. The official app is trying to catch with the 3rd party Twitter clients. You can use all the functions of Twitter on it. You can tweet and retweet with ease. You can see the trends and follow people as you like. You can search and submit photos too. You can even sync twitter contacts with your phone.
PlumeIf you like the plain and simple twitter layout that just works then Plume is for you. You can get a vertical column by sweeping right from the feed column. There are usual search, favorites, trends and list buttons which are arranged in such a way which is easy to access. This app offers multiple twitter account support. Most important feature of Plume is that beside supporting twitter it also has the capability of showing your Facebook feed.
HootSuiteHootSuite is a social media management app. It has a popular PC version too. You can add and manage your Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Foursquare accounts from it. This app is known for the auto tweeting facilities. This app comes with a built in link shortener service.
HootSuit is pretty popular among the social network marketers due to its ability to manage many accounts.
CarbonYou must admit that the name "Carbon" is pretty smart for an Android app that is a twitter client. The name has some Pop culture quality. This, according to many diehard fans, is the most beautiful twitter app. The matt background of this app is really eye pleasing. When you sweep through various columns inside the app, it shows 3D animations which are cool. There are multiple account support for the people like you who have separate accounts for work and interacting with friends.
Seesmic'There are two versions of this popular client. One is free (Ad supported) and another one is priced at $3.99. The reason behind Seesmic's huge popularity is its clean and intuitive interface. There are auto complete in it. Seesmic has many features and functionalities like geo tagging, auto complete etc.
TweetDeckIt is for both twitter and facebook. If you have accounts in both this behemoth social sites then you can get updates and can update those from this app right from your shiny Android phone. What makes TweetDeck from others is its compass. It shows the location tagged tweets on a map. The app shows tweets on a column feed. Do you know that TweetDeck has a desktop client? If you have this software installed on PC then you can sync it with its Android counterpart. Thus your twitter session will be seemless from phone to PC or vice versa.
Falcon ProWhat makes Falcon Pro unique is its built in browser. Can you just imagine just helpful it is? You don't have to leave your twitter app while clicking through a link or picture or a video. Falcon Pro is also a very good looking app. According to the fans, it is even sleeker than Carbon. It has both dark and light skins. You can slide from the home screen to both left and right to get to the menu columns. So, is it the best among the lot? Nope, it does not support multiple accounts.
There are two versions of this app: the donate version (priced $1.99) and the Pro version ($0.99)
EcofonThough there is no hint of having anything with Twitter, it is also a pretty good client. Ecofon has, like Falcon Pro, both light and dark skins. Similarity does not end here. Like its more known cousin, this app also has multi platform syncing capability. Ecofon is better than Falcon Pro in one respect, it supports multiple twitter accounts.
There is an add supported free version and an add free premium version priced at $4.99.
TweetCasterTweetCaster is an old member of this community. The main forte of this app is customizability. There are multiple color schemes support to make it as you like. It seems that they have paid some money to the collage nerds who have coded this app. There is a photo filter feature in it too. But the most interesting thing is the "speak to tweet" function. It works quiet accurately.
The add free version will cost you $4.99.
Add Your FavoriteAs you know, there are numerous twitter apps in the Google Play Store. Some are nothing more than a twitter rss feed but a few are really, really good. I have tried to cover the most useful and feature reach apps available in the Store. But I know there are many more. If your favorite app is not in the list then please mention it in the comments section.

The Barcode Scanner Android App Review
The Barcode Scanner Android App Review
Believe it or not, there really does seem to be an app for almost anything you could think of. Best of all, many Android apps are free. When I purchased the Droid 2, I read a list of the top apps available and one that caught my eye was the Barcode Scanner. I was also told about this app while looking at phones in the Verizon store. The premise behind the Barcode Scanner is that you're supposed to be able to scan a barcode and be told the prices of the item in various stores in the your area and online. In other words, it allows you make sure you're getting the best price possible. Would this app really be useful? You better believe it. When I first installed the Barcode Scanner Android app, I couldn't help but scan various items throughout the house. Some items it wasn't able to find, but others were easily found on Amazon. Because I live in such a small town and the nearest big city is 50 miles away, I didn't expect to see the prices of local stores. That doesn't mean this app is any less useful. In fact, it's helped me make the best choices and save money.
I find myself using the Barcode Scanner app quite a bit and while I often use it for small purchases, I imagine that it will save me a lot of money when it comes time to purchase larger items. For example, when it comes time to purchase a new TV, I will probably visit my local Walmart and it will be nice to compare the prices at the store to the prices online.
To use the app, you need to first make sure that you have adequate lighting for the phone to be able to recognize the barcode. You will then hit the camera button while holding the phone over the barcode. It can take a couple seconds for the camera to identify the code. The app will then give you prices and the options to do a product search, web search or visit Google Shopper, which will give you reviews of the product, local prices and other information.
The Barcode Scanner app is free and I rate it 5 out 5 stars. This Android app is simply a must have if you love shopping and want to save money. In all honestly, this app could save you a few hundred dollars on your next big purchase. Best of all, you won't have to go all over town to find that price because the app will tell you exactly where that price is.

Android Apps That Save You Money
Android Apps That Save You Money
Mint for Android is packed with features. or Canada you can link it up to your various accounts and get a clear look at how much you have. It can track your transactions and create a budget for you. You can set up alerts so that you avoid going into the red. It is very secure thanks to the PIN protection and it can also alert you to any unusual activity on any of your accounts. Once you enter all your information online the app will sync so there's no need to go through it all again. The app is also very clear and easy to use. You'll be able to see where your money is going with a categorized budget that reveals the truth about how much you are spending on clothes or eating out each month. The app also allows you to set up bill reminders and it will even inform you if you are paying over the average for car insurance.
Being aware of how much money you have in each of your accounts is undeniably handy and the alerts can really help you to avoid bank charges and remember to pay all of your bills. You do have to enter a lot of information to get started, but once you have the service set up you are sure to find it useful.
DealLeak There has been a bit of an explosion in terms of deal apps in recent months and so keeping track of the best deals could mean using multiple apps. DealLeak is a simple aggregator that feeds in deals from other sources like Groupon, Living Social and many, many more. The app allows you to search locally and identify the best discounts and offers for you. It gets updated frequently with all sorts of deals on restaurants, hotels, all kinds of stores and entertainment venues.
It may not be the best looking app in the world, but it is quick and easy to use. The deals are divided by category and there's plenty of information on offer. To avoid disappointment make sure you filter by active deals only because expired deals are listed too.
ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner The basic idea behind ShopSavvy is that you can scan the barcode of a product you are interested in using your Android smartphone and the app will show you the best prices available locally and online. If you enter credit card information you can even go ahead and order the item from a retailer like Walmart or Target. If you'd rather find the item in a local store the app will provide you with directions.
There are a few apps that offer this kind of functionality, including one from Amazon, but ShopSavvy was one of the first and it does the job nicely. It also aggregates deals from various sources instead of being tied to a single retailer. Why pay more than you have to? It's always worth checking the barcode with ShopSavvy before you buy. or Canada then GasBuddy is definitely the app for you. If you fire up the app you'll be able to see a list or map displaying the cheapest gas prices nearby. You can get directions to gas stations and you can even plan where to make gas stops on trips.
