POPSIs the Economy Recovering? The Curious Case of 1920 vs. 1929
The basic questions we need to ask here are: 1. Why do economies recover? 2. Are we recovering? Q. Why do economies recover? A. They recover because bad investments made during the bubble are liquidated, valuable capital is no longer being wasted on them, new capital is formed from savings, and profitable enterprises attract new capital to expand. Low real interest rates caused by increased savings encourage borrowing, manufacturers use the capital to make new machines, producers of consumer goods buy them, cash goes through the system, consumers see things are getting better, more consumer goods are produced, and consumers buy them. It has to happen this way or the recovery will fail. The difficult part of a recovery is ugly. Bankrupt firms need to fail so that valuable capital resources are not wasted on their continuing activities. This means that unemployment rises (10.2% now) and business bankruptcies are high. Trillions of dollars of asset values are wiped out.

POPSIndividualistic Christianity leads to justifying feel-good behaviors. How then can we attack others who seek what feels good? Or can we suggest & live out that Jesus feels best?

POPSAlthough Ignored By the Media-- Palin's Accomplishments Were Extensive We also slowed the rate of government growth, we worked with the Legislature to save billions of dollars for the future, and I made no lobbyist friends with my hundreds of millions of dollars in budget vetoes... but living beyond our means today is irresponsible for tomorrow. We took government out of the dairy business and put it back into private-sector hands - where it should be. We provided unprecedented support for education initiatives, and with the right leadership, finally filled long-vacant public safety positions. We built a sub-Cabinet on Climate Change and took heat from Outside special interests for our biologically-sound wildlife management for abundance. We broke ground on the new prison. And we made common sense conservative choices to eliminate personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, the junkets... the entourage. And the Lt. Governor and I said "no" to our pay raises. So much success in this first term - and with this success I am proud to take credit...

POPSFormer Fetus Now Pro-Choice He said the fetal community is unanimously pro-life but he said he's spoken to other fetuses who were recently born and many are reconsidering their stand on the issue. "After you come out, abortion isn't really that big a deal anymore. I think euthanasia, child abuse, and the lack of Chuck E Cheese's are the issues of the day."

POPS"Rich States, Poor States" New York and Ohio and relocated mostly to the nine tax-haven states with no income tax, including Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire and Texas. We also found that over these same years the no-income tax states created 89% more jobs and had 32% faster personal income growth than their high-tax counterparts. New Hampshire helps give the lie to the feeble counterargument. Those who disapprove of tax competition complain that lower state taxes only create a zero-sum competition where states "race to the bottom" and cut services to the poor as taxes fall to zero. They say that tax cutting inevitably means lower quality schools and police protection as lower tax rates mean starvation of public services. They're wrong, and New Hampshire is our favorite illustration. The Live Free or Die State has no income or sales tax, yet it has high-quality schools and excellent public services.

POPSOn Twitter, has conversation become a broadcast? A very interesting perspective on the way growth has changed the user experience on twitter. Quite honestly, i was never into twitter when it was smaller (i'm just a helpless fool jumping on the bandwagon - like many others i suspect), so i really can't offer mcuh personal perspective on the way it was. One thing i would imagine is that many users who are following 1000s of people use third party apps to create smaller groups of people they actually follow and primarily ignore the rest. It would be very interesting to know what percentage of people being followed are actually being followed. Following people in an effort to post high numbers versus actually paying attention are two totally different things.
