I agree 100%, but that puts it WAY too mildly. The trade imbalance went off a freaking cliff! Increased thier oil imports by 70% this year just to keep the lights on. The U.S. acted immediatley, not wanting to be outdone by the japanese:
"While NFP dominated the headlines, the US Trade Balance (deficit) limped out and dropped far more than expected. At a $52.565bn Deficit, this is the worst trade balance since October 2008. Perhaps more shocking is the fact that the 3 month drop (rise in deficit) is the largest ever on record."
Common misconception. Terrorist are NOT trying to blow up airplanes. That is FALSE. They are trying to destroy our economy, freedoms, and our way of life. Taken in that context, we're losing.
What your saying is only half true though if you take it to the next level. Gas taxes increase --> Govt. get's more revenue -->> more efficient cars --> govt. loses revenue (through gas tax and subsidies) --> government has to raise taxes on other sectors to maintain revenue.
How many times will you do that to a openly hostile military based nation with nuclear weapons? Most of the food will feed the army, who just recently threatened war over being able to see christmas lights across the border? I have no problem sending them food, as long as the people that recieve it are told that it came from the United States.
The first time they promised they ment it. Second time they REALLY ment it. It's different this time though, this time they REALLY REALLY mean it. In other news, a spoiled little brat isn't getting attention so he's acting out.. news at 11.
It's usually not the store that does it (alone). I worked data storage for a company that pulls customer buying information from grocery stores, retail outlets, large financial institutions, well, just about from everyone. Major banks foward them your credit card sweeps about the same time it shows up on your online statement.
Last I was there, roughly three years ago, they had 87 ASSUMED data fields on over 30 million consumers, which were extrememly accurate. 12 employees to support a 7 TB oracle RAC.
The same California that will be broke and paying employees/contractors with IOU's *AGAIN*? Eventually (not just California, we're going to realize that maybe, JUST maybe, we can't afford everything we want. Me thinks it would have cost a lot less to build a Nuke plant vs. massive wind farms.
Not knocking the technology, I fully intend to go solar/wind for personal use (Home owners assoc won't allow either at this point though), just saying...

Indeed. It will be ten year of court battles over anything and everything, before they break ground.

To be fair, in 1913, 47% of households were not recieving government assitance. Also would like to note that "tax the rich" comes no where close to solving any debt problems. If the EFFECTIVE tax rate of millionaires+ was 100%, it would take care of less the half the deficiet, no effect at all on the debt.

Property tax is used to fund you local government needs such as schools, roads, etc. Market value is only one factor. The multiplier is decied at the local level. Even if you home value stays exactly the same, the local gvmt decides how much in taxes you pay which usually goes up..
If the market value of you home goes way up, but your percentage is lowered, you pay the same in property tax... What the GP was pointing out is that if your property value goes up, should you have to pay taxes on that income? Is it income? Property value goes down, can you write off those loses?

This only works if the one loaning you money decides that your collateral is worth the risk. You too can borrow money against the value of your home (which again, you would have to sell and report the income). Wouldn't this also assume that the loaner saying, "Hey, I noticed your rich, here is some free money,don't worry about paying it back, just float me some interest." In general, loan agents aren't paid on how much money they can give out for free. As far as the interest on the loan vs. the capital gains, that really makes no sense. Your still paying back the loan, with interest (which you can write off). The fact that you used company stocks or livestock as collateral is irrelevant.
I've had several health care customers that have spent millions on real time HD video patient diagnosis and treatment systems. Doctors just flat out will not use it. They are too uncertain about the legal liabilities, billing, regulation and so forth.
Not sure how this would scale for first responders, 3rd world countries and remote locations (baby uses a lot of juice). Although maybe that will shake out as a result of the research.
I do not blame the NRC, they are, like many/most agencies buried in legislation and policies. Very little of the resources actually go to enforcing or monitoring those polices. It's easy to collect thousands of datapoints, but if you have no way to analyze the data into something useful, what was the point? Step1: Make it illegal. Step2: Act suprised when someone breaks the law Step3: Make it illegal++ ! GOTO step2. Until there is actual accountability, all you need to do is pay off your PR department and move on.
Of course, Europe is on the verge of collapse because of how much they spend on social programs and will soon not be able to pay anyone for everything. I'm quite certain that I could get damn good care as well, until my Visa maxed out and they (gasp) wanted me to pay it back... But hey, collapse of a country is one of those little details we'll just work out later, like greece.

In the military, you are only allowed to follow *lawful* orders. Following any other kind will result in personal consequences.
What your saying is only half true though if you take it to the next level. Gas taxes increase --> Govt. get's more revenue -->> more efficient cars --> govt. loses revenue (through gas tax and subsidies) --> government has to raise taxes on other sectors to maintain revenue.

By most accounts, that food went to feed the military, not the civilians. I'm with you though, no chance NK citizens will go against thier government.
