My Take On “S&P Downgrades U.S. Debt for First Time”

Who says they have to pay much less? That would be pretty stupam i prettyd. Even Henry Ford figured out that labor had to be paid enough to afford the products that the business cracked out. That meant the factory had to be pretty efficient. I got no problem with cutting fat. $50k is overpaid for window washing, unless the guy is running his own business and humping his behind off. $50k Read More...

Criticism On “Can’t Feminists Be Hypocrites?”

I think Friedman has misstated the problem by saying our society isn't based on the pursuit of true happiness. Our society already has a happiness based model, we are just really terrible at it. As a culture, we are obsessed with material goods, and are prone to the idea that happiness comes from owning nice things. Hearing about some of the things our kids are watching, I'm guessing they're Read More...

A Response To “Jodie Fisher, Woman in Mark Hurd Case, Regrets Former H”

To dismiss this as never having happened, or it's just blackmail, is an affront to most women who fall prey to sexual innuendo and provocation day in and day out. However, having been the target of such harassment through the years, I know that the primary reason I never called the behavior out and filed charges was that I didn't want the limelight. As I believe most women have acquiesced Read More...

Opinion On “Middle Class Slams Brakes on Spending”

@ Edward Teach Very few people in the private sector are top entrepreneurs. The vast majority of highly paid individuals are corporate bureaucrats, no more creative or capable than government bureaucrats, but far more expensive to support, and often worse at their jobs. We still need entrepreneurs. So lets give everyone affordable housing and education and healthcare so people don't depend Read More...

A Response To “Final Plug for BP Well Is Pushed Back”

reply to James Bullis comment #1: It depends on how deep the reservoir is - as a rule of of thumb, 'normal pressure' could be about 0.45 psi/ft of vertical depth of knowledge, so 8,500 psi would be 'normal' at the depth of this reservoir. But remember, the dream is to find over-pressured reservoirs, as they produce more oil more quickly, greatly improving recovery cash flow. {unfortunately, Read More...

Opinion On “The ‘Man Cave’ Gets a Makeover”

Shameful waste of time and money. Men trying to find all kinds of excuses to watch more tv. Yes go out and buy all kinds of gadgets and put them in front of the TV so you can watch tv while the surrounding gadgets also watch tv. When you are bored with the old gadgets and the gadgets get bored of you equally then you need more gadgets to keep company with the old gadgets and now more of Read More...

My Take On “The Truth About Wealth”

Your comment reminds me four ps of marketing Capitol Hill testimony opposing the entertainment-industry contracts whereby a record company owns everything a child performer produces for a set number of years. The industry execs pointed out that many of these entertainers are just decent but not great. They become known due to the advertising budgets put up by the industry. The contract Read More...

A Response To “Home Sales, Prices Brighten”

The housing market is already 20% above long term averages according to case shiller index. These averages themselves are inflated due to the easy credit of the last few decades! When debt deflates, current prices cannot be sustained. We are now spending borrowed money, courtesy of the government. GDP increase is borrowed from the future. The crash will go into history books. This is the Read More...

My View On “Lawmakers Reach Payroll”

Senator McConnell should note just what happened in Washington. The House passed an tax extension 2012, for one year, on 13 December. The Senate apparently rejected this and passed a two month extension on 17 December. Traditionally each haouse has passed its' version of legislation and the each house leadership would appoint a conference committee. The House has asked for a conference Read More...

Commentary On “Tax”

Two thoughts on success 1. Class warfare doesn't work in America, never has. Obama figured it out, you may want to also. 2. The 'rich', that is those who have capital to invest, own small businesses, farms, and investments. They create jobs and pay the majority of taxes. In California, 144,000 pay over 1/2 of all state income taxes. Be careful who you attack here. Ask the French what happens Read More...
