It's important that we talk about finances - whether they're our own or our government's. That's why we're excited to announce PGPF's latest project: Fiscal Haiku. At FiscalHaiku.com, hundreds of people are using an ancient Japanese form of poetry to author short comments about everything from their personal credit card bills to our shared concern about the growing government debt.
