economics

Well, I didn't when I was young. I just liked the title. It was just enough "in your face" to please a kid, and the mushy wordsy stuff after that just, well... bored me. Of course, when you're 8 or 11, or 14... or even 19, those "wordsy" things are often not all that important. After all, we're living in the moment, and the future is a long, long ways off. But that was, sadly, decades ago, and now I'm suddenly, surprisingly, living my own future. You know, the serious one, the one that shapes me more than I can shape it.

Word to the GOP, Part 2:

In part 1, I opined that "Since the Democrats have completely and utterly broken health care, you now have to actually FIX it. This means, you have to ACTUALLY address what's wrong. I realize that before the argument about Obamacare, you probably had no idea what was already wrong. So, no only do you have to undo that monster, you have to actually ADDRESS FIXING WHAT IS BROKEN." and here's the "why" you must not only repeal, but you must proactively engage to fix the broken bits. Well, in this case, the most is broken, and only the bits are working.

Wonderful video. In three parts.

If you've been paying attention, you've read that the Pharmaceuticals have been cutting deals with the White House, to avoid big bites by Congress. Why does this remind me of defense contractors? Well, it's the same reason. Government contracts, which are uncompetitive, MUST be profitable. Why, do you ask?
