Following Ms. Flanagan's logic, we should do a thorough review of all college and university campuses. Dorms where things have gone wrong should also be shut down, especially those co-ed ones where guys co-habitate with gals, share bathrooms, party with them and definitely cross boundaries of university imposed propriety. Don't forget your lawsuit potential there (also consider suit against the universities for running out of condoms More

Japan is a net creditor nation - the BOJ and gov't hold large foreign exchange reserves, second only to China. The Japanese Ministry's CPI (which understates real inflation in the economy, just as the U.S. BLS measure does) went from 0.3 in May to 0.2 in June - not a strong indication of deflation. Japan historically has a be resilient industrial production complex, which pushed prices down (good deflation) in an environment of domestic More

I suspect that most kids have some degree of a love-hate school relationship with school for a spectrum of reasons. Statistically, some kids will experience a year with issues across the spectrum - math is hard, english is hard, sports are too hard, friendships aren't clicking and mom & dad just don't understand. A year like this could be unrecoverable without some intervention - perhaps the best intervention is reassurance from the More

I have read the comments with interest. I agree it is a good article. We all how to build creditever miss the larger point of this whole credit debacle. All of us were complicit in what happened to some degree. We elected politicians who wanted to keep the economic growth party going. After the internet bust we needed another growth engine. Okay lets all get into real estate so we can build our retirement through our houses. Lets use More

I disagree with what some are saying about jobs landing overseas etc. While I do belive there is too much outsourcing and there's more to come, I also believe there's more opportunities to come in the US in technology. Employers will need well-rounded individuals to handle thier needs in both holistic marketing and technology. The 2 feilds are merging. You can send all the tech jobs you want to India, but some Indian won't be able More

Actually Robert, if I am reading your post correctly, the salary of the new employee in the latter portion of your example would be, at least for now at this point in the Obama nightmare, tax deductible. So the salary would reduce the taxable income of the corporation and it would not pay tax on it. The only tax on those funds be born by the employee personally. Double taxation has long been a term that even liberals have accepted. More

They will rebel and the whole thing will collapse. The only thing that made industry agree to play nice is the universal law of attraction coverage mandate. PPACA cannot stand on its own without it because it doesn't make business sense to insurers. So if the Supreme Court applies the severability doctrine and strikes down the universal coverage provision while allowing the rest to stand, it will knock the leg of a three-legged stool. More

Carl, if it were just this blog, I would grant you purchase on the issue. But it's not just this blog. The mean-spiritedness that dominates this blog is the same mean-spiritedness that characterized so many of the how to get people to read your blogwn hall meetings this past summer, and much of the so-called Tea Bagger phenomenon. And I am not ignoring the thoughtful, intelligent posts. My point would be that those thoughtful, More

Same ol' $hit, different day. Does anyone think that a report coming OUT of the Obama Administration would actually refute anything he has enacted? How about a third party report giving some objectivity to it. Just the headline is ludicrous: simple logic would dictate that ceasing operations for 6 months across the board would have SOME effect on jobs. The only way it wouldn't is if there was no work to begin with, and we know there More

For a select group of budding entrepreneurs, discovering business ideas with low funding generally is a demanding task. There are many people on this world who that would potentially achieve success entrepreneurs and it is stunning that so many of those people never make it. An enormous quantity of those potential business individuals have all of the personality traits of an entrepreneur yet never actually notice their dream as a consequence More
