As a government official and private investor, I found that the Popsicle Index was essential to understanding return on investment in the management of the US financial system.

A deterioriating Popsicle Index globally has been a leading indicator of the slide in our physical and financial security and the centralization of wealth through predatory currency, lending and business practices managed by the central banking and G-8 governmental apparatus.(See also...
