TARP and the Continuing Bank Bailouts
Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:21 AM EST
I have yet to see a logical explanation of why TARP was necessary. Generally, defenders of TARP simply keep repeating that, without it, the financial system would have collapsed. If that is true, then what are the steps that would have occurred, and why would they hav …

Rights and Responsiblities - How do we decide?
Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:06 AM EST
So, how do we decide how much protection people in our society deserve? On one end of the spectrum are the libertarians, who espouse pretty comprehensive "caveat emptor". Perhaps liberals are at the other end, but everyone seems to feel that some acts of fraud should …

Engineering Approach to Education
Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:01 AM EDT
How about a more logical, fact-based approach to education? We have had a plethora of ideas to improve education (No Child Left Behind, Vouchers, Unions, no Unions, etc.) but I do not see the logical followup for whether these ideas actually benefit students long-term! They …

Stop Spending, Stop China
Fri Jan 21, 2011 9:01 AM EST
Once, not so long ago, China was the enemy, and we restricted their imports to us due to their ideology and abysmal human rights. Now, we ignore their still terrible human rights and their ideology, and buy all we can from them!

Conservatives Fighting with Fear
Wed Dec 30, 2009 9:21 AM EST
Judging by the responses to anything Obama does, there is clearly as huge reservoir of anger out there among conservative Americans. We just had eight years of a pretend conservative in the White House, backed by a Republican majority in both houses.

Fooled by distractions!
Wed Sep 23, 2009 9:11 AM EDT
We, the taxpayers and citizens of the United States, continue to be assaulted by, and manipulated by, petty distractions. Those on the left and on the right are inundated by emotional issues that we can be convinced are central to our continued survival.

Baby Boomers Finally Achieve Their Potential
Tue Sep 8, 2009 11:55 AM EDT
I am a baby boomer. I really embraced the values of the late '60's - peace, sharing, living within our means, rejecting the advertising hype that tried to dictate who we were.

Conservatives Running Scared
Tue Sep 8, 2009 11:40 AM EDT
Judging by the responses to anything Obama does, there is clearly as huge reservoir of anger out there among conservative Americans. We just had eight years of a pretend conservative in the White House, backed by a Republican majority in both houses.

Lest We Forget by Paul Krugman
Seeded on Fri Dec 5, 2008 3:49 PM EST (The New York Times)
Excellent advice concerning regulating the financial world, and how we failed to do that during the last crises, which has led us to this one.
Synergies for Economic Recovery
Thu Dec 4, 2008 3:35 PM EST
It seems to me that Obama and the new Congress have a tremendous opportunity to get us out of the ditch with an economic stimulus package and other plans that address many problems. Some examples: 1.
