http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/06/09/medical-ruling-reaction050609.html I thought this was interesting because I had no idea that...
I think it would also depend on how careers were cut short. If KG pulled some sort of Ricky Williams thing - then probably no. If he tragically...
I suppose capital gains tax cuts help the rich out more but going that way probably won't help out much either. I suppose one way to increase...
No it wouldn't really narrow any gaps that much. I just think for that taxing those making 1million+ a year andd using that to reduce the...
Thx. I did not know that. Off hand I would think that any metric designed to measure supply-side growth would be extremely difficult to validate...
I may be wrong on this but the CBO projections do not account for any "supply-side" dynamics - that is tax-cuts->GDP growth->greater taxable...
But middle-class wages have been stagnant since 1973. Bush was probably snorting lines off a stripper's back in 1973. Krugman does mention the...
Is it fair to say that the tax-cuts did not have the disastrous effect on revenues that were feared by some - but most probably did not do...
I don't like it when any pundit solely blames one party for economic (down) trends. When you consider the make up of the white house and...
"The cause of this problem? Education, according to Greenspan. Specifically, high school education. US children test above world average levels at...

This is where the sleaze-machine may backfire. I'm not a Hillary fan at all - but I hope she garners some sympathy because of this. The top...
Whatever - I think most people read into it the article the way I did. I'm not taking your opinion of the standard right-wing position. I'm just...
Sam- it's pretty obvious you're just saying that because you know you can't defend Krugman's claims. His article clearly claims that real...
You don't like me do you Sam?
I totally agree with you. The crap flies both ways. I'm just trying to point out Krugman's article for what it is - another partisan editorial....
If tax-cuts, bankruptcy reform, and death tax do not have an impeding effect on real wage growth for the middle-class, then what is Krugman so...
The credit card debt isn't as bad as many people report. While the household average is around 8,000 - only 29 percent have over 1000. source...
When Krugman says that household income only grew by 22 percent from 1973 to 2003 (largely due to longer hours and working wives as he puts it) ,...
