So many people like to argue that we need the government to fund space travel because without the government, it wouldn't happen!  Well, this isn't reality because it's happening now!  Private companies are flying to space and in the very near future we will have commercial flights to outer space. Rocket launches by these private companies are actually tens of millions of dollars cheaper compared to a NASA launch!  And right now, private companies are planning on mining asteroids to extract rare earth metals. This is the beauty of capitalism at work and it doesn't cost the tax payers a dime.

The Federal Reserve has finally raised interest rates!  On December 16th, the Federal Funds was raised .25%. How high of interest rates can the U.S. economy take right now since we have been addicted to 0% interest rates for 7 years!  What does our economy look like in 2016? It's going to be an interesting year for the economy and I think more people soon realize how truly shaky the foundations to our economy really are.
