Repugs boxed in on tax cut.

Pelosi said she would support it without amendments - now repugs are adding sh*t - will she support it or bach at the last moment? That's really the sign.

The Myths about the

Great Men. In my life I have studied the stories of George Washington, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick. The issue is with the behaviors their bibliographies install as virtues - and, in light of Malcolm Gladwin's ideas about OUTLIERS, gives one pause about who these great men really are. I mean Carnegie and Frick created very strong myths about the practice they undertook to prepare them for the capitalisyt launch.

PROFITING FROM SERVICES, Part 2.0

other thoughts - 2/19/2012: What we will have to show for any recovery from the Great Recession -
Republicans complaining about Obama - particularly Mitch Daniels - when Indiana is at best a low end preformer in the recovery.
Since the Great Depression, America has gotten out of recessions the same old way - significiant government spending - has been the only tool that works - austerity has never worked, nor has cutting government employment. But big give-aways to the banks with no strings got zero. Increased government paid employment has best the most cost-effective. Infrastructure also - most visual. The most total picture after the end of this economic downturn will be that high-end government players did well - salary increases, more outsource contracting. Republicians are devilishly smart at fooling the people into believing the guy on the rung below you is the fault when the politican above is hicking in your teeth.

The real battle is over defense cuts.

This is the struggle over the future of this country. Very low taxes for the rich, starve governments of revenue, hollow out America and massive defense spending.

What level of taxation do we need to fund the government we think we want, and what’s the best way to get there?"

So which is it Mitt - things getting worst or

things getting better? Still being indecisive, then keep blaming Obama - but what's your plan?

More evidence . . .
