Views On “Oldest Baby Boomers Face Jobs Bust”

Just sayi want a divorcen�.... Easy divorce � divorce that is even economically encouraged by legislation and the courts � has contributed substantially to the problem of older impoverishment. Joint assets get split, including retirement assets. Both husbands and wives suffer from that fact. Then also, divorced husbands often take on new financial responsibilities to new wives and families. And divorced wives find Read More...

Commentary On “The Divider vs. the Thinker”

Excellent article. One need only to read the polarization of these comments to validate it. Paul Ryan HAS taken the time to study the situation and come up with a plan. It may not be perfect but he has framed the debate. Unfortunately like so many other things today we do not seem to be willing to work equally hard to join in the discussion. I am (or was) one of those bad guys that paid 50% of my salary in irs tax calculatores for the last Read More...

Some Thoughts On “Review & Outlook: Wisconsin Vindication”

No they don't Radowitz, the WSJ and the WSJ crowd has no sympathy and empathy whatsoever for the Union crowd. And why should they. In particular the public unions have looted state by state coffers with overly generous retirement and health benefits, at virtually no risk. That is not how things work in this country, perhaps it works like that in the EU - but not here. Further, who precisely do you think will be paying for those benefits - Read More...

Views On “Michael J. Boskin: The Obama Presidency by the Numbers”

This president's protestations and incessant whining about the bad hand he was dealt make me want to throw up, frankly. They are the empty words of a little boy who has been politically pampered all his life and lead to believe that just because he could stand at a podium and articulate his positions, we the governed, should all just genuflect and go home because things will be just fine on his watch. Hopefully, he has learned what real leadership Read More...

A Commentary On “Review & Outlook: Conrad Wants $2 Trillion”

A rule of thumb I believe to be undeniable is that 20% of the people do 80% of the work and vice versa. As a young manager some years ago, my manager made me rank my people. The top 10% got a raise, the middle got to keep their job and the bottom 10% were let go. Feed your winners and starve your losers. If you keep taking the seed corn from those who can do something with it and giving it to those who can't, the farm won't last very long. Read More...

My View On “Review & Outlook: The EPA’s War on Jobs”

There is a potential child tax benefit here that I have not noticed i nthe other posts but maybe I missed it. This benefit will require Obama to be re-elected so it comes at a high price. However, with his re-election, EPA rules like these and others may really impact power generation in a negative way. Of course, there cannot be enough windmills built in a few years to replace coal, so, we might just experience massive brown outs. This is Read More...

Criticism On “H”

Yeah, for the following reasons: - Meg's B-C claim to fame Ebay, had 1st Mover Advantage. Not so, HP. - HP is a mature HW company vision that is requiring a significant strategic B-B shift. Not her proven history. - Where is Meg's industry cred with hardware, software, integration & support services? - As a member of the BOD, she's complicit for the current lack of vision perceived by the market. Where will the required vision come from??? - Read More...

Criticism On “Winklevoss Twins Won’t Appeal Facebook Case to Supreme Court”

You know what if they just would shut up I would not be annoyed but they then go on to preach to others how to make a guy fall in love wtih you they should live their lives. I am an agnostic but find the Bible has some excellent passages someone help me here though I give all my wealth to the poor and have not love I am just a ........ My Rel Ed is failing me. These guys like Zuckerberg make me want to go out and throw up. In some countries Read More...

Opinion On “The Case for Paying College Athletes”

How about Student Athletes, be Student Athletes? Do you remember when they announced starting line-ups of Football and Basketball and they would also mention their college majors? They dropped that a while ago, when colleges rented famous athletes with little interest in educating them. It is all about money for the NCAA, the people who really want to be paid anything substantial are really not interested in education, at best pay at the Read More...

A Commentary On “Michael Medved: Obama Isn’t Trying to ‘Weaken America’”

I quit listening activities to Medved because he has started to talk down to people on his radio show that disagree with him. He may think Citizen O isn't trying to hurt the US SO he feels it is his job to tell the rest of us IDIOTS that we are wrong if we do think Obama is. Similarly he thinks people who think Obama is a Socialist are idiots. So I'm an idiot and I quit listening to Medved. Don't even think about people who think maybe the Read More...
