      That makes sense...higher interest rates would make people less likely to buy stuff with credit, which would result in fewer jobs
  • At more than $14 trillion, America's debt might seem abstract, a number so large it's difficult to conceptualize.
  • If interest rates ramp up, a greater portion of the government's budget will go toward interest payments, leaving fewer dollars for other, more economically stimulating types of spending, such as building roads or providing tax incentives for small businesses.

    podcast sounds better with a bit of music in it. Or some special audio effects. But the problem is that legally you can't just use any mp3 file from your music library since you will be breaching the copyright of the original artist. So move away from using your favourite bands - and look into the wide range of "pod-safe" or creative commons audio that are out there on the web. Here are several websites that are worth a look - some provide whole music tracks, others provide sound effects.
