No more scarcity!
Linda Frye Burnham / 09:10 AM

From the Imagining America conference in L.A.:
Yesterday's highlight was the second part of the Voices conversation, where we decided this is not a crisis -- it's an opportunity.

To quote Randy Martin, who teaches arts politics at NYU (not verbatim): It turned out there was an extra 700 billion dollars! We don't have to talk from a place of scarcity. Everything we need is obviously available.

We also decided it's not only mortgage holders who are upside down. Everything is upside down! What an opportunity for people on the bottom!

Don't you worry 'bout a thing.
