Of course this spectrum represents the economy of the United States. If the numbers seem arbitrary they are meant to imitate the form of the spectrum of reflected light waves. Here they reflect an interpretation of the values of the denoted elements. The lowest numbers notes the most valuable aspects of the economy; while the highest numbers are least valuable or useful.

I see this as a spectrum, rather than a list, because each part blends as an inseperable whole entity. Each of the eleven components of the spectrum may certainly be considered to have it's own properties and function, but there is no effective way to isolate one from the others; or make changes or adjustments in one that do not in some important way affect all of the others.

The individual is the basic cell of the body of society. It is useful to remember that it is a multiplicity of individuals that make up our entire economy. It is in the interest of government, corporate interests, law enforcement, media and financial interests to put persons into homogeneous groups that can then be dismissed as sub-human. If we allow ourselves to see others in this way we are being manipulated by forces we do not realize, and we will surely be ourselves portrayed similarly in time.

Consumption and production are as two sides of the same coin. These are the basic building blocks of every economy. Service, manufacturing and accounting are also key, crucial elements that all combine to provide employment throughout the economy. This in turn allows consumption of goods and services by people. These six elements are completely inter-related in a healthy economy. It is clear that none of these parts can exist by itself; and also no fraction of the them can function without all of the others.

Finance and government are two institutions entirely dependant upon the previous numbers for their creation and continued existance. Theoretically these two are responsive to economic issues and offer transparent oversite in maintaining fiduciary responsibility to keep the public trust. But the complexity that has grown around the present economy has obscured this function of transparancy in finance and government.

Politics today are archaic, dishonest and wholly ineffective in service of the people of the United States. Politicians today resemble pigs at the trough of political contributions largely from corporate and financial instutional sources. With the only concern being their own re-election politicians tell an endless stream of lies to profit their financiers. In lock step groups politicians, aids and spokes-people repeat their lies and distortions to malleable media outlets; in effect creating 'truth,' 'facts' and 'answers' to further their corrupt agenda. This in direct disregard for the best interests of their constituants, whose vote they learned long ago that they can have for only lies and money.

*****************************************************************************
My purpose in composing this work is to make a complex expression with clarity and brevity. Allthough parts are provocative, I believe they are irrefutable. Any expansion of this consideration can only lead to distortion and loss of clarity. All of the missing 'hows' and 'whys' must come from within you the reader. This work is in effect a 'driver,' or bit of software to connect the information already in your brain and lead to a useful perception.

There are no 'facts' or 'answers' in this work, it does not pretend to solve any of the injustices described, except perhaps one tangentially: this is a very complex expression but it can be grasped with only a little effort. It is this extra effort put forth beyond our daily life's concern that we need to keep us free from the oppression born of our own indifference. In our short form, sound byte, keep it simple culture I will not stop attempting to expand our collective attention span.
