Opinion On “U.S. Teens Lag Behind Global Peers in Math”

But why are attorneys and business owners paid more than engineers? Part of the reason honesty is the best policy that the demand for engineers has declined because engineering is in large part dependent upon the manufacturing economy, which has suffered in recent years due to a number of factors, most importantly bad government policy. Bad energy policy, bad environmental policy, bad Read More...

Analysis On “Daniel Henninger: Smart Aleck”

What clue have you gleened from your own commentary? A: That the way our President is elected is not Darwin's theory? Perhaps, there is a shadow government and a manchurian candidate as part of the inscrutable puzzle of a World Government after all? ALL IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE: LEFT - RIGHT is a figment of your imagination of your imagination. If you think with that perspective, Read More...

My Take On “White House Renews Push to Extend Payroll”

The Earned Income Credit (EIC) was originally put in place to refund employees for the Social Security taxes that were withheld from their paychecks. Since then, the EIC has increased and is now a welfare system. Almost 50% of U.S. citizens/potential taxpayers pay no income tax refund calculator taxes once the EIC is netted against the taxes that are withheld from one's paychecks. The Read More...

Some Thoughts On “Peter Wallison: Government”

Everyone was at fault so no one could have halted it because they would have been blamed for the choking of a job and profit creating government/ business enterprise that everyone fed off upon.Housing prices escalated to levels that were unrealistic and still are. Yet recovery is contingent on going back to inflated housing prices so that unneeded housing construction will resume advice. Read More...

My View On “Daniel Klein: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?”

Krugman is a political shill. His theories are not backed by worked numbers, particularly the one he won the Nobel for. He writes text books that disagree with his political views. Why should anyone be subject to an economics cogat test written by him? You'd have to qualify it with whether the test is on NYT subject matter or text book matter. You, Billy boy, apparently don't know Read More...

Views On “Why They Cheered”

There are reasons to oppose the death of a father penalty. There have been many cases where people on death row have been found to be wrongly convicted and a few cases, where the wrongly convicted were executed, such as Willingham. Most on death row are poor and could not afford the best lawyers, expert witnesses and private detectives. The death penalty is applied haphazardly. In Texas, Read More...

My Take On “The New Gold Mine: Your Personal Information & Tracking Data Online”

This article is one of the finest examples of reporting I have seen. This isn't a leak from a passed over senior manager of government agency about his boss or his boss's boss. This isn't leaked documents from someone with an agenda. This is true digging to get at an untold story, the invasiveness of the web. Privacy invasion is growing. And digital records are forever. They don't get Read More...

A Commentary On “Michael Moritz: Immigration Lessons From English Soccer”

The U.S. is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants provide the entrepreneurial energy that has driven our economy forward for two centuries. They also provide the competition that keeps the landed from becoming complacent. We forget these lessons at our own peril. The main thing we need to ensure in permitting immigration is that those we invite into our country willingly accept American organizational Read More...

A Response To “Obama Presses for New Taxes on Wealthy in Deficit Plan”

I'm 30 years old, and I have no hope of receiving social security. My generation x and y will be the first generation given a country that is worse off than how our parents received it. My parents generation: bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, they spend their inheritance and have no money in the bank, they sent us to college and ALLOWED us to take on loans, and in the end they complain Read More...

A Commentary On “Car Review: Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited vs. Volkswagen Touareg TDI”

Excellent article. We have two VW diesels. Passat wagon and Sportswagon. Both deliver great fuel economy and are fun to drive. Both have been very reliable. It is unfortunate that Americans are obsessed with HP and 0 to 60 times. Diesels drive great but do not have great 0 to 60 times except for the BMW 335d which is geared towards performance. Hopefully, Audi/VW, BMW, and Mercedes will Read More...
