"The measure she was pushing, eagerly sought by California's high-tech industry, would have temporarily cut the tax rate on overseas profits brought back into the country." I guess,it means if you can't beat them, join them. It's seems incredible, not to mention unpatriotic, for these not too long ago kid techies are now engaged in horrendous subterfuge to keep money out of the states.[e digicons]:cylon:[/e]
For many years now I’ve advocated an economy that gets the best bang for the buck. In face of calamity calls for cutting costs on social security, Medicare and Medicaid, I argued that this big three accounts for millions of jobs and release of capital owing to direct and immediate benefit to the sectors of retirement and healthcare. Others would argue that if eliminated the regressive payroll tax would put more spending power into the hands of working people who would on a steady basis

"You know that woman he[Obama] had singing for him, singing my song, going to get her a-- whipped," Etta said to a thunderous applause. She went on to add that she could not "stand" Beyonce. I've got news for Etta--it's not her song. It was introduced in a Glenn Miller movie before he formed his Airforce Band. If anyone is miffed from the grave it would be Ray Eberle, Miller's vocalist. Long before Jones, it romanced millions of couples during the war years.
It depends on how it's spent.

Though behind in fringe benefits why does Toyota and other foreign auto manufacturers located here are on a par —in some even exceed— in wages with the Big Three? The simple answer is the long-lived strategy of keeping up or one step head of organized workers. Little credit is ever given to unions for instigating a universal awareness of workers’ rights for the past eighty years while simultaneously relegating the concept to class warfare, which in reality doe
[quote]They should have been working with the automakers long ago to strengthen the business not undermine it. [/quote] What's wrong with strengthening autoworkers, along with automakers.

A bad bank is not really a bank at all: it’s a toxic dump. It will never "earn" the "privilege" of bearing the name of a stadium. It’s more like an asylum or nuclear waste storage located in a remote wasteland . I cannot imagine it occupying space on Wall Street though ironically the renowned path has become a wasteland in itself. I suggest, since Obama wants to save jobs, that 30,000 Circuit City soon to be ex-employees could stock up all the "troubled assets" at bargain
