Analysis On “H”
Sometimes a change at the top can be a good thing. New ideas, a change in approach. HP's board must believe that anyone with prior definition of leadership experience could lead them as CEO. No wonder HP is in decline. I predict that they and their share holders will regret this choice. To me this is very sad. HP is a great company and their employees and customers deserve leadership commensurate with there extraordinary excellence and technical Read More...
Views On “Robert J. Barro: Obamanomics Meets Incentives”
Yes, oh yes. More sales incentives! Especially to bankers who get salary increases and bonuses whether they make or lose money for shareholders and tax payers. Lets see what's happened to incentives: An increasing share of national income has gone to the top 1 percent of earners since the 1970s, when their share was 8%. In the 1980s, it rose to 10 -14%. In the late-'90s, it was 15 -19%. In 2005, it passed 21%. By 2007, the last year for which Read More...
A Commentary On “Obama Says Tax Breaks Should Now Spur Hiring”
I guess he figured out that hopey dopey changey stuff had to have a little meat to the bone, and that policy and actions actually matter.
Obama, Reid and Pelosi are the barriers to entrepreneurship. Obama and his entire job killing, mis-placed priorities are the barriers. Our tax code that fosters crony capitalism where the government picks winners and losers are the barriers. Nations where 46% of employed people do not contribute any federal Read More...
Some Thoughts On “Norman Podhoretz: What Happened to Obama? Absolutely Nothing.”
Scott,
I WATCHED Rush's show in the late 90's for about half a year. I found myself agitated and upset. Then I turned off the TV and lived my when life gives you lemons. I found that a lot of my discontent wasn't because life was bad, it was because Rush was telling me my life was bad. That dude makes his money by making people feel like there's an answer for why their life sucks. This is a conservative principal so I suggest you take it Read More...
Opinion On “Ballmer Defends R&D, Seeks Yahoo Talks”
Seems to me you are all missing the point of the article. For better or worse (using your examples), Microsoft is innovative business ideas and it continues to produce new and innovative products. Yes MSFT's quality and implementation both need a good swift kick, but they still continue to spend on R&D and continue to innovate. Same is true for Apple and Google. Now look at most large American companies, they look somewhere else for innovation... Read More...
Commentary On “Review & Outlook: A Leadership Default”
Sara, I think it is you who are blinded and refuse to see the reality of Obama ALWAYS blaming anyone else but himself. You view Obama as you would view your child learns child, he can do no wrong, you cannot be objective, if your child does something wrong as viewed by others, you refuse to see it, and think no, it is not your child, it is the other people's fault for not seeing how truly special your child is.
Your last sentence is pure Read More...
Commentary On “Bill and Melinda Gates on Teacher Evaluation”
It is readily proven that schoolteachers are not among the most brilliant people working today as claimed by the Gates - nor do they need to be - they are not teaching quantum physics. Learning consists types of motivation information being offered by the instructor and the student having sufficient motivation/interest to absorb the information. It has been 49 years since I graduated from high school with a class size of 37, but my experience Read More...
An Opinion On “Après le Déluge, What?”
I totally agree with Mr. Foley's comments, and would add the following. What happened to simple respect and discipline. There is none. Time after time I have witnessed children absolutely berating a parent in public and even physical violence. It is obvious that these children do not know the meaning of respect and the parent what does respect meann't know the meaning of discipline. The nuclear family is rapidly declining and with it society's Read More...
Views On “Rove: How the GOP Can Blow It in 2012″
Let's keep some focus strategy here. We're not electing a pastor. We are drowning in a sea of debt getting deeper every day. We have a law on the books - soon to take effect - which mandates government to take over health care - with many thousands of American jobs in the balance. We have seen some of the largest companies - GM, Chrysler, AIG, etc. become intertwined with the Government in unprecedented ways. If you want to stop that direction Read More...
My Take On “McConnell Plan Gets Support From Reid”
Congress has levelled a gambit against a sitting president. The U.S constitution provides that a sitting president is the single most powerful person on American soil. In fact, the U.S President can be more powerful than Congress when circumstances demand.
Negotiation is indeed gesture of good will on the part of the president. Parties involved are better off giving some ground just as much as the president should also give up some ground. Read More...
