Hmm, you can ding the US on a lot of things, but I think there is quite a few indicators that we do quite well on. American homes are the largest in the world, the American transportation system allows for people to move large distances both quickly and cheaply. A passenger-mile by private automobile cost around 40 cents in the US, which is far cheaper than any first world public transportation system that comes to mind, especially when you factor in income.
I would argue that America is quite a nice place to live if you like large houses and driving everywhere. In other words, America is extremely well suited to the average American.
I would argue that GDP per capita is more important than unemployment in terms of economic indicators. To see why this is the case, consider the following policy - raise taxes by around 2% GDP and use the money to hire all the unemployed people to dig holes and fill them back in at minimum wage. This will drive unemployment to zero and have a small (and probably negative) impact on GDP. If people truly consider unemployment to be more important than GDP, you would expect for this to be a very popular policy. But it obviously isn't (or else you would hear about serious politicans suggesting it) so people obviously care more about GDP.
By the same token, I also might get a more favorable rate. Informations asymmetries allow people with higher default risks to blend in with people with lower default risks, and forces rates for everyone to go up. More efficient markets are good for all of us.
That is why you design an experiment with proper power, so that when it is inconclusive, it tells you that the effect of Tylenol on cancer is at least fairly small.
Because that is 1 month worth of buffer that you can invest and earn some interest. For most people, it will only be around 5-20 dollars a month of extra interest, but hey, free money.
I think this is the slashdot equivalent of "what's the matter with kansas". Here you have a hated bill whose main backers are the unions and the small businesses and the main opposition is some of the biggest companies in the country, and it is proof that big companies are the problem. Apparently.
Liberalization sounds easy, but it is a painfully hard thing to do in real life. Sun Yat-sen tried to do it in China, but his ideals meant that he was pushed out of power before he could actually do much, and the replacement government was quite the disaster. The man who did bring democracy successfully to the Republic of China was Chiang Ching-kuo, whose reign was known as the "white terror".
Point is, governing well is HARD, and good intentions are not always the same results.
Housing is 42% of the CPI, education is 6.4%, and medical care is 6.4%. While medical care is a bit underweighted due to the fact that insurance picks up the tab for a lot of people, the average wage information doesn't include insurance benefits either, so that is a bit of a wash.
If the proxy server in question never kept logs of ip addresses that our hacked connected from, how would they get from the proxy server to the ip address of the open wifi?
Considering how much software MS writes and how long they have been writing it, it is entirely possible that whatever they patiented have already made it into engineering canon.
I would note that the supremacy clause is part of the constitution, and federalist papers are not. If you want them to be considered as part of the constitution, get them ratified by the required number of states first.
To be fair, even when you are doing that, knowing how to actually do the calculus is pointless - you can just punch the function into a CAS and get the answer back.

How does that work legally? Doesn't the constitution have that line about 20 dollar charges?

The average US household spends around 4000 a month. The fund BND pays 0.2% monthly in terms of dividends. That words out to 20 dollars a month.

Median wages are static after adjusting for inflation. In other words, it is only static after you factor in all of the rising costs
As Verizon Wireless is legally a separate company, they report finances independently.
Half the population doesn't have a below median number of legs.
(hint... the median is 2)
Why can't you just tape the demo to the judge? Afterwards, just give the recording to everyone.
On the other hand, a random subset of 99 stocks have a VERY good chance of beating the market....
Electric/Gas based trunks/trains, obviously.
Hate to confuse you with the facts there, but interest rates on treasuries fell today.
So use more then one radiator?
Bitcoin goes up and down too much for that to work - he would have to change what he ask everyday as not to over/under sell himself.
If the proxy server in question never kept logs of ip addresses that our hacked connected from, how would they get from the proxy server to the ip address of the open wifi?
Dunno about you, but I had to deal with a ton of bugs that only cropped up in the device, and not emulator.....

Err... The great depression saw the value of cash go up considerably. (In fact, that was one of the reasons why the great depression lasted so long)
