Views On “Dorothy Rabinowitz: The Alien in the White House”
This is a president , who at the very point at which we need real leadership, continues to float, aloof detached and personally uninvolved with the realities of the people of this nation and their needs.
The only things he seems to relish are state dinners, rounds of golf and empty rhetoric while everything else seems to crumble around him.
If there is a right way to do things, count on him Read More...
My View On “Tunisia’s Former President Is Sentenced”
Ben Ali should be convicted without a doubt, but the trial went surprisingly fast and that should raise a lot of eyebrows. I am not saying that Ben Ali is innocent, but why so fast? It doesn't make sense at all unless they are trying ways to make money fast protect some other people. Ben Ali and his family couldn't have stolen all this money by themselves. I really believe there are some Read More...
My View On “Administration Seizes on Rate Increase to Jump”
You can currently buy health insurance expert witness across state lines in the exact same way you currently buy automobile insurance across state lines. All the major health insurance companies operate in all 50 states, just like the automobile insurance companies. Regardless of where your automobile insurance is domiciled, the insurance it sells has to meet state underwriting requirements Read More...
A Response To “John Fund: Tea Parties vs. Unions in November”
When I think of union excess, I look to Europe. I am one generation removed, so I have friends and family there, and I read a number of looking for jobseign language publications. The EU partner nations are mainly Socialist; the biggest employer in each of these countries is the Govt. The Govt. jobs are union jobs. Ever wonder how it is that demonstrators in these countries can SHUT THE Read More...
My Analysis On “How Some Americans Are Rebuilding Their Lives After Bankruptcy”
Unfortunately these are good examples of those who should have never gotten credit to begin with. A woman invests in 8 Curves, files bankruptcy and then buys a used Jaguar at 18%--but is happy. A woman who got complacent because she could afford to be comfortable--and filed a second time because she didn't know any other way?? They should know that an entrepenuer is never comfortable and Read More...
My Take On “Oldest Baby Boomers Face Jobs Bust”
I always fi can t live without yound it interesting that these articles state that most financial analysts advise that you need to have or generate 85% of your yearly pre retirement income to live the same lifestyle in retirement but never draw a lesson from that advice. If you live below your mans and put money away you should, in my opinion, be living on anywhere from 1/3 to 65% of your Read More...
Thoughts On “Spec Houses Rise as Builders Bet on Buyers Before Tax Credit Ends”
I don't entirely disagree and I say that if the market indicates it... build. However, with the current inventories out there, I just don't see how building more makes a great deal of sense. You mention demand several times. What demand are you talking about? In my area sales manager (Silicon Valley, California AKA: Santa Clara County), the 'Demand' is still driven by folks who want those Read More...
My Analysis On “The Weekend Interview with Eric Cantor: Obama and the Narcissism of Big Differences”
There are many peer reviewed articles that show that there is no growning income disparity in America, but truth never got in the way with some people.
Also, innovation process is needed to improve productivity and improve the affluence of America. BUT innovation creates income disparity between the innovators, ( e.g. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg), and society at large.
There is a reason why Read More...
My View On “Andrew G. Biggs and Jason Richwine: The Government Pay Bonus”
Just a silly question, but why does the analysis adjust the pay gap for education and verbal communication skills? Compensation is (in the real world) based on the work one does, not the education/skills one has coming in. The only logical conclusion is that Federal workers are generally over-qualified, understandable since they can make 25% more in a lower skill job in government than they Read More...
Views On “Best Buy’s Profit, Sales Retreat”
Recently went with a friend to BestBuy to purchase a blu-ray player, At the store the player was priced nearly $30 more than the Bestbuy.com price. At the first store, they refused to pricematch their own online business for sale store and then had to go another one which price matched. If not for instant gratification, I would have purchased the player online -- one of the few times I could Read More...
