Read the article. The House democrats could have removed him from all committee assignments and expelled him from the caucus. There are three reasons why they didn't do that. First, they already have a lot of people who have done worse (Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, among others) who completely dodged punishment. Second, they don't really believe Weiner did anything Read More
That is the exact reasoning behind the justification for spending. We do understand it Mr. M, but it's NOT ok. You're relying/gambling on a historic GDP growth rate to save/support the concious decision of spending over a billion a day in the red (deficit)... that's a conserative estimate btw. But where's the GDP growth? It's not at the historic rate, it's below! Uh Read More
If you die intestate (no will), the state will cruise through your assets until they are gone...or almost gone. Have a will, a living trust building activities, a power-of-attorney for a person you trust, and a health-care power-of-attorney. If you have a will only, it must be probated and will quite likely cost buku bucks in attorney's fees. A trust allows you to bypass Read More
The unstated premise here is that the companies whose stadiums' dysfunctional teams are doing good somehow shopped around and made a better investment. But we see that for instance Heinz just named the local stadium and its unrelated to who or how is playing there. Also, industries with lower budgets name stadiums where worse teams play, so there is no point in the table Read More
The climate changes. It always has, and it always will. The period in which we live in is a small bubble of environment factors, compared to the life of the planet, that promote quality human life. To believe it won't change for the worse or to believe we can do anything to keep it from changing careers at 40 is idiocy. Instead, what we should be doing is planning for Read More
Very thought provoking! I would love to hear your views on welfare, elaborated. Education we both agree, must be, the key. Developing infrastructure is a govt. Function.However whenever corruption proliferate it saps vital resources and disheartens the masses, while breeding scinisism. Government, meaning of love elected voting block controlling, politicians will be Read More
And let me add a little clarity to my position. Some of Islam is acting badly. I think it is the aspiring leaders of Islam who are responsible for the actions of their people. If they do not take decisive action against their criminals then we must do everything we can to protect ourselves against them, including protecting ourselves against those who might be criminals.

Because over a working life of 40 years, someone did nothing to increase his or her skills to earn over $10.00 per hour (and you can make more than that at McDonalds) is no reason to become a ward of the state. What your boss makes is also no reason to became a ward of the state, especially if it is being done fraudulently. Finally, one decision making skills $10.00 Read More
Our teachers are also strapped with trying to teach the tens of thousands of undocumented who start off in K-12 with no English, math or science english communication skills My wife taught for years in Seattle and we saw this coming decades ago. Teachers are now forced to stop the class from advancing till the slowest of slow students catch up and by then the others Read More
I got my BSEE from a top 5 school when the engineering degree was all the rage and went for the MBA at another top 5 school when it became the cat's meow. I did an engineering track for 5 years, then an MBA track for another 5, then started a business, made millions, and decided to consult in the IT field. That worked well, but did not pay me based on the B school degree Read More
