This video is pretty interesting. RFK's speech on how we really want to measure the growth of our nation is actually surprisingly relevant. It sort of reminds me of this graph I came across yesterday.

By measuring the GDP, we're deciding that we care only about the bottom line. The bottom line may be growing, but we still have major social problems, like several million uninsured, a war and veterans who sometimes get screwed out of their benefits, massive economic inequality, and a slow march toward environmental disaster. At what cost should the bottom line grow?
