What is Going On?

The Simpson Bowles Commission Report is quite interesting and readable.

Lots of emailing on the Debt Free America Act. But wait. It's not going anywhere soon.

51 % of Americans pay NO income tax??? But they DO pay payroll tax and half who don’t are the elderly. Here’s how the Tax Policy Center breaks it down. Scroll down a little for a nice chart.

Ezra Klein keeps track of the money stuff in a very interesting and accessible way.

Here is an IQ2 debate about placing blame for the financial crisis.

I don’t understand this: If the private sector will not risk hiring people because they are afraid of the strength of the markets, and the strength of the markets is based on how many people have jobs and are thus able to consume in the market AND workers are working more than one person’s job so production is up and profits are high, WHY are the CEO’s blaming President Obama? BUSINESS COULD TAKE A CHANCE AND HIRE A FEW PEOPLE!!!!!!!
