    Why can't PCs learn from Apple?

    MacBook Pro prices start at $1,199 and go up to $2,299.  They should be more powerful than a $250 netbook.

    So, where are we headed?

    The only way we avoid a double dip is if we haven't exited the last recession.  Though notoriously slow in announcing starts and ends to recessions, I believe the silence from NBER on the end of the recession is growing louder.  Government spending is a component of GDP, and you can't throw...

    I'll bet Nancy wishes she knew what was in the bill before it was passed now

    Since you didn't answer either question, I'll ask them again. So are you saying that Nancy Pelosi knew that this bill would be eliminating the health care coverage that Congress had?  Are you certain enough of that view that you are willing to state that Congress won't apply "some sort of fix"...

    So are you saying that Nancy Pelosi knew that this bill would be eliminating the health care coverage that Congress had?  Are you certain enough of that view that you are willing to state that Congress won't apply "some sort of fix" to rescind that action?

    I'll bet Nancy wishes she knew what was in the bill before it was passed now

    It's kind of amusing.  But now that more of our representatives have taken time to find out what is in the bill, I'm sure they'll pass legislation that insulates them from the impact of the monstrosity they created. I wish the rest of us were that lucky.

    "Bushism" of the day

    "It's like the back of the refrigerator. You see all these wires and the rest. All you need to know is, you open the door. The light goes on. You open this door, you go through a whole different path, in terms of access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans."-- Nancy Pelosi

    Welcome to Europe

    Led Zeppelin seems to have done pretty well... But that point aside, what is important is that it shows the mindset of the administration.  Prior to Obama, Federal spending was about 19% of GDP.  In only 15 painful months, Federal spending has risen to 26% of GDP.  Keynesian Economists would...

    Welcome to Europe

    The White House is using Paul Volcker to float yet another new tax.  This time a Value Added Tax.  To get an idea of what life with a VAT is like, see this article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304252704575156052357241946.html?mod=rss_Today%27s_Most_Popular Now for the trial...

    Stimulus for the construction industry

    Unless, of course, you are a small business owner who is down on your luck.  In that case the present administration is looking at you to finance all of these generous socialist schemes.

    Stimulus for the construction industry

    At the time I started this thread, I hadn't read the article behind the link, I only skimmed it.  Now that I have read it, it has turned from a "wow, that sucks" reaction to an "this is an outrage" kind of article.  The following quote did it for me: Southern members of Congress have sought to...

    "Bushism" of the day

    I'll be more than happy to debate the reasoning behind the Iraq war with you.  But I suggest you educate yourself a little bit first.  A good starting place would be President Bush's speech to the UN on September 12, 2002. You might also want to research the thousands of attacks on the United...
