An Opinion On “Tech Supply Chain Exposes Limits of Trade Metrics”

First of all, we have to distinguish worklife balance of accounts v. trade balance. Secondly, we need to look at world trade balance v. US-China trade balance. Thirdly, we need to analyse international flow of funds such as investment and speculative / hedge funds. Finally, some services, world profits and other elements are not repofed at all. China has a favourable trade balance against U.S. because a lot of US goods were contracted out to China More

Thoughts On “Standing Desks Are on the Rise”

My office does not five the option of standing desks, unfortunately. I can attest to the unhealthy side effects of eating disorders of sitting at a desk ALL day. I'm currently working in a different department, where the employees rarely get up from their desks; they even eat lunch there. After little more than a month, I know that my legs and feet are plagued with swelling, cramps, and stiffness. I have also gained weight, without eating more. I also More

Thoughts On “Joseph Rago: The Massachusetts Health”

Correct. I was just notified that my health care provider is quitting, going out effects of quitting smoking business. It was profitable, the premiums were affordable, and the services good. They were to be taxed 20 percent because they were profitable so rather than become unprofitable and wards of the state-controlled health care cartel, they are quitting and putting THOUSANDS out of jobs. This is only one company. This is only the beginning, of More

An Opinion On “Why Can’t the U.S. Build a Soccer Star”

Soccer is, and will continue to be, a great game. Like any game, those who don't understand the rules or strategy of play, will not understand it. If you don't want to learn the rules - don't denigrate a game you know nothing about. The US has generated some stars as evidenced by their play in European leagues. Its the TEAM that is the issue. Whether they don't practice enough, are too structured (soccer is about CREATING advantages in real time) or More

A Response To “Why So Many People Can’t Make Decisions”

I have found plenty types of emotion emotion-driven conservatives and fact-based liberals. Emotion driven conservatives are usually a combination of angry and fearful and prone to exaggeration. Likewise, a common criticism of the liberal President is that he has no emotion. Whether you agree or disagree with his reasoning, he is not emotion driven. The real problem is that the emotion-driven folks are in charge of our politics on both sides of the More

Analysis On “Holman Jenkins: Is Obama Ready to Be President?”

Health care screams for an incremental change to its underlying sales incentives. But this president has never understood the proper role of incentives. Take that back - he understands incentives only in the areas he ISN'T paying headline attention to, like education reform. Republicans would do well to specify plans that are both incremental and incentive-based. Not only would that actually help, but it would paint the starkest contrast possible More

Commentary On “Stephens: Is Obama Smart?”

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln Mr. Obama has intelligence, but he is not smart. Anyone who thinks that marxism/socialism works, or that a group of incompetent men and women in Washington, DC can micro-manange over 300 million More

Analysis On “Appeals Court Rules Health Law Is Constitutional”

Taking car insurance expert witness a step further, car insurance is insurance unlike what they call health insurance. Insurance is paid to cover potential losses and the legaly required amount of insurance I carry is so I can pay for somebody else's property should I crash my vehicle into it. Car insurance does not cover oil changes, tire rotations, or the breakage of my vehicle due to lack of maintenance. What they call health insurance is not insurance More

Commentary On “Tea Party Heads to Local School Districts”

Vince, if your wife is educated in effective language development she will be the first to tell you that bilingual profeciency is targeted becuase mastery of one language assists the development of the other. The counter point is that focusing on one language L1, takes away from L2 aquisition, but all studies show the opposite to be true. Also, you fail to recognize that vouchers are nothing but a reduced payment option for individuals who can already More
