Re: 18-Aug-10 News -- The collapse of the Gaza tunnel economy
In my mind, it is in poor taste to build a mosque there - but not treasonous. It is certainly insensitive to those who lost their lives on 9/11. In allowing a mosque to be built there, some may feel that the US is showing how "tolerant" it is as a nation. Extremist muslims are at war with the US - t...

Re: generational conflict between y and boomers...your thoughts,
Shoshin, I’ll give it a shot. I don’t think this is strictly generational, though it may relate to how they’ve been raised or taught in other employment experiences. I’ve seen this behavior out of boomers, gen-x’s and millenials. In fact, I’ve found it easier to mold millenials than boomers that hav...

Re: 8-Feb-10 News - There are more self-identified independents
"How would the political climate be different today if the bomb had detonated and the plane had crashed? " Here's how I see it: On a scale of 1 to 10, the 911 attacks were somewhere around an 8 - extremely significant, but not affecting everyone in the US - definitely caused a nation wide change in ...

Re: Health Care Bill
Perhaps the best way of paying off student loans might be that each year of working for the state, once qualified, pays off one year of the loan? Otherwise you pay off the monetary amount. Its an American problem so I wish you good luck and many blessings. I think you're missing the point. The prob...

Re: Financial topics
A great clip freddy. I find the whole "you should resign because you're a failure thing" disengenuous though. Interesting how Geithner never really responded to the real root of the question - "we spent all this money on stimulus and we still have over 10% unemployement - what's the deal?!". Right n...

Re: China
Here's a link to an article on the Dalai Lama NOT getting an invite to meet with the President this year when he comes to visit the US and Canada - though they are expected to meet AFTER President Obama visits China in November. Two Octobers ago, the Dalai Lama received the Congressional Gold Medal,...

Re: TIPS-backed Money Market Funds
At that time, based on long-term trends, I estimated that the CPI would fall by 30% by 2010. I would no longer be certain of the 2010 date, but I stick by the 30% figure, probably by 2012 or so. A 30% drop in CPI in 3 years! I hadn't really thought about how fast deflation would occur before. I had...

Re: A total blank
John, I greatly enjoy your website and have for months, along with your e-books. Like many people, I usually read opinions and articles that tend to affirm things that I already believed. You’re articles have caused me to look at things completely differently – and often as not – disagree with pundi...
