  1. I really don't want to put too many dots on paper - well this paper.....I was like "whoa....didn't think about that scenario....."
  2. I have connections who have a neighbor who is inside OBD - always tight mouthed - but said the real issue is they really can only keep 2 of the three - they don't want/have space for 3 qb's out of the 53....
  3. Baskin HC proposal: 1. Get rid of employer paid HC 2. HC is a "single payer" - with revenues developed by a GST. This way all imports pay for tax - as they should. Our employers are off the hook and are now 16 percent more competitive. Also our exports are now 16 percent cheaper since HC costs are taken out. Nothing will be a bigger boost to US based employees than this. 3. The government gives all citizens a voucher to go get HC. Providers must provide a minimum level of care for the value of this voucher. 4. There should be 3-5 HC providers available in any geography. This will provide competiton 5. HCP are now have every incentive to get costs down by keeping people healthy - since they only get XX dollars per person - they make money by people not getting diabetes etc - instead of getting money by treating diabetes... 6. Healthy people probably get a bonus from their provider 7. Medicaire, Medicaid, VA all gone, also government out of business providing HC to its workers Best I can come up with blending actuarial theory and fee market competition. My comment on the above proposals is that it is impossible to single parties to negotiate and you have to pool the risk - you simply have to pool the risk
  4. what is you proposal? lay out your and I will tell you what mine is
  5. It amazes me that this is not the NUMBER ONE issue for both citizens and elected officials - on both sides of the aisle. We pay 2x what the rest of the civilized world pays. Think about that 2x - at the end of the day it comes out of your pocket - and at this point I am sure that most of you see what your employer pays for you - and if you are like me - you are paying $20k a year because you are self employed. If we had HC costs on par - most of Fed and State budget issues would be solved. Are you telling me we are simply incapable of restructuring our HC delivery system in an "american" style to solve this issue? Meanwhile - our top contender is in a Twitter fight with with a tv station
  6. "Yeah, the presence of a guy who will murder people on camera leads me to the conclusion I should be disarmed. And once again, the White House implies that “gun violence” is on the increase. It’s not. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/423112/white-house-lies-about-gun-violence-again-charles-c-w-cooke …" Yes - the rate of gun violence has gone down - From the highest in first world countries to....the highest in first world countries.... We have the most liberal gun rights around ....and with freedoms comes some ugliness....
  7. Exactly - It is only a matter of time before TT starts....one episode like any of the above and it makes no sense not to go with TT......... And that is TT not Russell Wilson
  8. I can't believe that the clear and direct analysis for the concept of birthright/14th amendment is not found in the consensus of constitutional scholars on both sides of the aisle...but here right on PPP. I would expect that the "Economist" will be contacting you shortly to clear this up.

  10. The good old - "Why don't people getting arrested have manners?" chestnut.... The reason they are getting arrested is because they have - done something that society doesn't approve of - or apparently are driving a car while being black. The assumption and worse- expectation - that those being arrested are going to be well behaved is completely off base - and what I would say leads to police being unprepared for that eventuality - leading to a poor result. But - hey - this guy is very self assured - has walked a mile in others shoes - and therefore can bowl down complex issues to simple facts. He should try telling us what is country and what is not.
  11. You seriously don't understand the data that July was the hottest on "record" (fixed it LA) - what does this have to do with summer/winter hemispheres? AFA defining "ever" - come on - everyone knows what we are talking about....ooooohhhhhh caught me in definition mistake.......damn - I guess all those thermometers are wrong! DC - WTF - I am sure someone as complex as you can separate a local weather condition from how much heat the earth is holding... Stick your heads back in the sand and carry on!
  12. I don't get the EJ love. One cannot take a "good" preseason performance playing with and against 3rd stringers and suggest that this somehow saws off and overshadows 14 real games of clearly mediocre performances. Obviously the coaches see it that way too. On a good note - can you imagine pinning your hopes on McCown? - we almost did - yikes!! He looked AWFUL....dodged a bullet there... Compared to last year we are in MUCH better shape TT impressed last night
  13. Huh? Zing Are you married? Actually - its pretty much all of PPP
  14. Thermometers around the world have apparently settled on July being the hottest ever...
  15. Its funny....with all the freebies - which don't amount to much - the floodgates are indeed open!!!! Except - people are LEAVING - there are less Mexicans in the US now that when BO took office. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/07/24/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/ Thanks for coming.....
  16. When did we turn into such a nation of xenophobic arse holes? "illegal" immigrants have - on the whole - a lower crime rate and pay more into the system than comparable "citizens". Gotta blame someone for your problems. Those kids are born here....embrace them as fellow patriots.
  17. The US has the most liberal gun rights in industrialized countries and we have the highest gun crime rates.
  18. Besides this OP being completely racist - "The following link will state that by 2050 this country will be 29% Hispanic. "As a country, are we ok with this?" What? or better WTF? Are we Ok with Jews coming, or blacks?....maybe these people are just ...humans.... I wonder if the Natives were posting in the 1500's..."you know by 1700 88 percent of this country is going to be Euro?".... As well - Who is "we" - us white immigrants?....divinely guided to an already inhabited by the land becuase God wanted us to have it? Or are you Native American? Why don't you do some homework and start with some facts...like the fact that net Mexican immigration in the US has NOT CHANGED over the last 8 years,,,,that;s right as many have left as have come in.....so much for that porous border huh? Maybe these "latins" (is that what us "Merican's officially call them) - are citizens and are having kids....you do know - you have to be a citizen to vote right?
  19. There are more QB options in 2016 (FA and college) than in previous years - and as well - the number of teams in the Bills position has dwindled. I think the plan is to gut out this year and get a real QB answer next year.
  20. Again - you starting with the premise that everything Federal sucks - and again you have no experience so you are talking out your ass. It is not the paperwork....it's the terms Bud Fox....anyone looking for capital wants the best terms - if you think private/VC/corporate investment (I have done all three) have easier paperwork that govt funds - you are wrong. What I can definitively tell you - is that the most important thing is terms - collateral, security, is what makes the difference - not the paperwork. And since you are such an genius - you are breaking the first rule of start up - NEVER use your own money - I assume you own a house and spent a few extra years saving up so you didn't have to borrow money from a bank that ultimately had the loan secured by Freddie..... Keep digging Teacon - full of idealism...totally lacking experience....
  21. Cast your judgement as I know you will but....I work with a State fund who has invested in one of my companies. SMART entrepreneurs of course want to cut a deal with a government as the funds are MUCH easier to deal with (ask almost ANY start up person....like say Elon Musk). VC's and "savvy" money are pretty much out to do one thing - steal your company from you. On the other hand the State fund I work with invests in true start ups which VC's wouldn't touch...and BTW - their fund is very successful - so yes a government can run an investment fund and make money. The fund I work is patient, helpful and they are getting a return on their investment. LA - you clearly have NO idea what you are talking about on this subject (start up funding) - but I am quite sure it won't keep you from yapping and trying to somehow cob your political idealism into this subject....
  22. This line shows that you have no idea what you are talking about Isn't this supposed to be about nukes and Iran?
  23. Maybe a few hours outside of PPP would help most of the posters here.....
  24. Here is a little test...go back to the Cliven Bundy thread - a white racist pig who did not want to pay taxes and completely disregarded authority - and look at your postings. I would think many of the posters here were behind - at least the notion of his disregard for authority....and how is that different from this woman who you now want to throw in the trash bin. Tell me how you are not simply racist trash. For the most part - you guys are simply small small people.
