Was it the Hospital lobby that pushed for the shift in costs of treating the poor from ER rooms (Hospitals) to the Health Care Insurers?

 What do the Republicans really want out of the Middle East? Is it peace? I find it hard to defend a philosophy of which equates spreading peace with dropping bombs.

Obama was buying the beers yesterday for Merkel. The gang was all there to talk about what to do with the guy that wasn't there.

What to make of China's 180 in fiscal policy regarding banks and lending. They are going to meet that 7% growth goal one way or another! But $4 trillion in regional debt? What global repercussions will this have? Will it be a ripple effect or a tsunami (is that Japanese?)What would America look like if had that kind of debt? Leetonia had better get a public pool for under a Billion.

More money! Chasing more stuff! I like it. I missed the roaring 20's and was too young to appreciate the 80s. I want my monopoly money decade!

If there is more money chasing more things, employers seemed to miss the memo about sending more of that "more money" to WAGES. Walmart and McDonalds have caved, but is that the crack in the dam that leads to a flood of wages? Middle class wages are worse off than 20+ years ago inflation adjusted. That just sucks.

And speaking of Job creators. Uber's concept could do it for sure. I know a school teacher who quit because he made more money at Uber!  ahhh Capitalism. ....

Wiki and Bitcoin won't create more jobs. Just shift them. AirBnB is going to turn us all into hoteliers?

Technology has got a little sham in it's DNA.   When you provide computers to school children, the technology almost never catches the bottom learners with the top. It almost always serves only to distance the top learners even more from the middle to lower end children.

Technology didn't make American Pharoah run faster than 42 years ago. (Secretariat).

 

 

We can't retrain the humans fast enough now.  Does the merry go round eventually spin too fast and everyone falls off after losing their grip? Or do we all get to spend the days on the beach drinking Zombie Margaritas?

We were promised more leisure time!
