What about the Madoff'bank 60b$ account. Would Madoff would have been able to conduct his crime without the obvious help of his Bank? In fact, It highly likely that he would never been able to lift a ponzi scheme of that scale without a bank account Read More]]> http://www.hantutams.com/a-response-to-socit-gnrale-probed-in-stanford-case/feed/ 0 http://www.hantutams.com/opinion-on-thomas-frank-conservatives-and-the-cult-of-victimhood/ http://www.hantutams.com/opinion-on-thomas-frank-conservatives-and-the-cult-of-victimhood/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:33:38 +0000 admin http://www.hantutams.com/opinion-on-thomas-frank-conservatives-and-the-cult-of-victimhood/ The Democrat rage after the health bill signing was manufactured to kill the bill fear of crowds the front page.

The Texas medical tort reform limits pain and suffering and suffering awards, not actual damages. The days of $10K in med bills for a broken arm plus $2M for pain and suffering are past, thankfully. I'm not actually sure that insurance rates for Texas residents are actually the highest in the nation, but I do know that Read More]]> http://www.hantutams.com/my-take-on-philip-k.-howard-why-medical-malpractice-reform-is-off-limits/feed/ 0 http://www.hantutams.com/analysis-on-get-rid-of-executive-bonuses/ http://www.hantutams.com/analysis-on-get-rid-of-executive-bonuses/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:32:06 +0000 admin http://www.hantutams.com/analysis-on-get-rid-of-executive-bonuses/ A good argument against focusing long term relationship term performance only was made by Jeck Welch (Ex-CEO of GE) who said that every time you bug CEO for short term losses they will respond that they are playing strategy which will incur short term losses but long term gains.

But he was smart goal setting enough to use the 2008 financial crisis to accomplish his goal of weakening this country. The real question now is how smart are the American people. Will they buy Obama's excuses and condemn us to 4 more years of hearing him blame the results of his policies on Bush, Read More]]> http://www.hantutams.com/my-analysis-on-stephens-is-obama-smart/feed/ 0 http://www.hantutams.com/thoughts-on-andrew-biggs-and-jason-richwine-why-public-pensions-are-so-rich/ http://www.hantutams.com/thoughts-on-andrew-biggs-and-jason-richwine-why-public-pensions-are-so-rich/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:28:03 +0000 admin http://www.hantutams.com/thoughts-on-andrew-biggs-and-jason-richwine-why-public-pensions-are-so-rich/ Comparing the relative benefits of a public employee how to fire an employee that of a private employee is a pointless exercise. All employees should be compensated (salary and benefits) based on the free market. If an employee doesn�t like the compensation package they can quit or not take the job to begin with.

Are you offering that FedEx or UPS employees do no earn their checks? This may surprise you, but not every job can be learned in a classroom.
