POPSWill The Recession Scar You For Life? Economists Say Yes Unfortunately, a side-effect of recession experiences is that people stop believing in the very public institutions that might - if reformed - be able to help with this redistribution. I don't think distrust of institutions is a bad thing. That distrust makes sure people don't become sheeple and makes them constantly scrutinize, criticize and exert pressure on their governments, instead of just having blind faith that they will "do the right thing".

POPSThe psychology of menus...seriously. I suppose it makes sense that at a time of financial stress for so many people, restaurant owners are doing whatever they possibly can to make the experience of laying out money for food less intimidating. That said, I think our national past time has shifted from baseball to figuring out how to get consumers to feel comfortable spending more money than they should.

POPSThe Real Fat Cats Are Not on Wall Street Why should PUBLIC Employees make almost twice as much as their private sector counterparts? After all it is OUR MONEY they are using to pay themselves. Think about it the next time our taxes are increased. They cry POVERTY and NO MONEY and yet they continue to HIRE new employees and increase their pay rate at twice the inflation rate. When was the last time you got a pay raise at TWICE the inflation rate? Do you get an automatic COST OF LIVING increase every year? I think not. Time to give all these public employees pink slips. These public employees are not exactly feeding from the dumpsters around town either. They are treating themselves to the best of everything.

POPSGrowing Need of Franking Machines Various medium and small sized organizations are hooked up in the grip of recession. This has consequently resulted in the desperate need of savings in every field. One of the money saving methods that can be adopted is by transferring mail output to franking machine instead of traditional ways of mailing such as visiting mail room and further to post office.

POPSFeds Get Huge Pay Hikes While Taxpayers are Loosing Jobs
Okay folks it is time for some straight talk. We the people need to take back our country from the thieves and robber barons occupying capital hill. We can not longer sit back and allow this outrageous behavior to continue. We need to get to the polls and vote out all the incumbents and replace them with FISCAL conservatives and strict constitutional candidates. This country was made great by adhering to the founding principles outlined in the Constitution which safeguards the rights of the citizenry, and restricts the powers of the federal government. Today as we watch the daily newscasts we are being assalted by an out of control federal government with an insatiable appetite for more and more of our hard earned money which they squander on useless pork barrel projects designed to buy votes and nothing else. IN addition they continually vote themselves hefty pay increases and benefit packages and then give us the bill. It is high time congress gets a pay cut!

POPSJapan GDP revised heavily downward Governments took a bet with stimulous policy: double or nothing. And they keep doubling. Any betting man will say this bet a very easy way to lose a lot of money, and is a sign of complete desperation.

POPSMcCain, Coburn Target 100 Stimulus Projects The duo, who have railed against “wasteful spending” in recent years, put out their “stimulus checkup” shortly before President Barack Obama made a speech at the Brookings Institution outlining new job-creation proposals. McCain, from Arizona, and Coburn, from Oklahoma, say the projects they’ve identified “raise questions about how stimulus money has been used so far.” The White House said it would look at the projects cited in the report but that it should be “taken with a grain of salt,” noting that Coburn’s earlier reports on stimulus spending have included errors. A spokesman for Coburn hit back, pointing out that the data used by the administration to estimate the impact of the stimulus hasn’t been perfect. “The stimulus office might want to revisit its job creation estimates before it lectures others about accuracy,” said John Hart.

POPSHunger, family homelessness on rise in U.S. cities You would think with that since the recession was going on prior to spring of 2009, that the government would have stopped the "paying farmers not to farm" and allowed a large influx of food to be readily available for those in need. Likewise you would think all the $$ we keep sending abroad to keep countries from fighting one another would be reallocated to help citizens here. I feel for all the kids that are suffering through this and should not have to be. I realize that some people got in way over their heads, but many would have survieed if they had not lost jobs. All the $$ they paid in taxes and unemployment, etc and the help they get from government is almost none, yet we keep shipping money outside the US before helping our own citizens. I just have to say WTF?

POPSObama seeks to replace the American way of life These fragmented groups are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, its blatant abuse of the Constitution and its attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism/communism. Sometime in the next two years, when the government does the unthinkable, they will come together. Hopefully, from the chaos that will result, we will emerge a stronger, smarter country.

POPSBlack In The Age Of Obama Over the decades, conservatives and Republicans have forged and fueled fears of blacks coming after your teenage daughters, your wife, your stereo, your tax money, your job, your kid's college admissions, and the music your kids listen to. It's out in the forefront again with the offensive images on Google. Any so called justification for that hatred such as one clipper posed here on CM is nothing but a smoke screen for the malevolence that lives in his heart.
