Simon and Garfunkel’s 1969 television special “Songs of America” shows the two on stage, in the studio and on a concert tour across a turbulent country. Their ambitious Bridge Over Troubled Water album had yet to be released and the glorious title song was heard here by the general public for the very first time. The program showed news clips of labor leader/activist Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, the Poor People’s Campaign’s march on Washington, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, JFK and Robert Kennedy and other events that were emblematic of the era. “Songs of America” was originally sponsored by the Bell Telephone Company, but the execs there got cold feet when they saw what they’d paid for—legend has it that they looked at the footage of JFK, RFK and MLK during the (powerful!) “Bridge Over Troubled Water” segment (approx 12 minutes in) and asked for more Republicans! (Not assassinated Republicans, just more Republicans...you know, for balance!) The special was eventually picked up by CBS. It was directed by the comedic actor, writer and later talk show host Charles Grodin, a friend of the duo. Grodin had already been in a bit part in Rosemary’s Baby (he was the obstetrician), but had yet to gain notoriety with his role in Catch-22. Songs heard include “America,” “So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright,” “Bridge over Troubled Water,” “Scarborough Fair,” “El Condor Pasa (If I Could),” “Punkys Dilemma,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “Mystery Train,” “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy),” “The Boxer,” “Homeward Bound,” and “The Sound of Silence.”
You know, one area that small Christian colleges and universities have struggled with over the last decade is academic efficiencies and economies of scale. They've had accreditation pressure to improve the academic quality, which is great. They've had pressure to add additional programs and majors and staff up to build those and grow that, which is good. But through all of that effort and the increasing regulatory burden from an audit standpoint and from a Department of Education standpoint, all of those have created enormous pressure on small Christian colleges and universities to make their budget. And historically, the way they've tried to address their budget challenges is to increase tuition at rates far in excess of the rate of inflation. They've done it year after year, and you get the compound effect of these tuition increases, and suddenly college is no longer affordable. And so then they have to provide more scholarships to keep their student headcount up, and they can't raise the money for those scholarships. So many Christian colleges and universities have themselves in a proverbial "Catch 22," where they can no longer raise tuition at the rates they've raised tuition, but their cost structure almost demands it. And so that's the big challenge, and that's why SignificantSystems exists, is to help change the paradigm; bring in different financial levers other than raising tuition that can help small Christian colleges and universities not just survive, but thrive in the years to come.

Common purpose and Agenda 21 are Catch 22. Common Purpose being a stealth training Organization for leading beyond ones authority in the Post Democratic Era...combined with Agenda 21 .... world control through false environmentalism .... leads to an unwinnable situation for the people of the world!! Beware Beware Beware!!! Know that this is a deadly combination leading to loss of your rights on your own land where you no longer have control. Government Worldwide agenda from the Unelected Leaders whose authority crosses national boundaries and controls you, Building Permits that cost more than the house, people being evicted and thrown out to live in the street, off limits to people wild areas, people forced to live like animals in cities like factory farmed chickens, transfer of property from the poor to the rich. More to come about Agenda 21 and its outrageous demands.

The Catch-22 with defensive stocks is that they are great in bad times but every knows it and that sentiment is already in the price.
And when one of them is BAE, we think that it really is, well, a value defensive stock.

Getting approved for a credit card can be difficult without a positive credit history working in your favor. It's a Catch-22: To obtain a credit card, you need a good credit history. But to have a good credit history, you need to establish good credit!
This no-win cycle can keep people with a non-existent, limited or negative credit history from getting approved for a credit card. But it doesn't have to if you understand the type of credit cards available and how to build a good credit history.
