  1. Police work has always seemed attractive to bully types. Bullies like to beat on people and sometimes they can do just that, say when someone resists arrest.

     

    There are two types of bullies. The ones who drop out of school, become criminals, and terrorize the population as adults. And the ones who manage to graduate, become cops, and go hunt down the criminals.

  2. The level of macro and micro economics in this thread is enlightening

     

    Since BO is not going to make things better what are the GOP' plans to restore middle class income growth?

     

    Seriously. Lets forecast that Jeb or Scott wins and the GOP wins 60 seats in the Senate.....what could we expect that would help middle class income growth and deeper employment?

    Relying on the government to find a fix is a liberal point of view.

     

    The Conservative answer is to get government out of the way and let the economy grow. Trying to force a form of social justice (ie "help the middle class" specifically to the detriment of everything else) creates inefficiencies that drag the whole system down.

     

    The Potus may not have much power in improving the middle class, but he can do a lot of damage to it.

    The federal health care overhaul is leading some colleges and universities to get out of the health insurance business.

     

    ...The main driver of colleges getting out of the insurance business is a provision in the Affordable Care Act that prevents students from using premium tax subsidies to purchase insurance from their college or university...

     

    "I considered buying it, but just taking the hit and paying the penalty was significantly cheaper than either option. Luckily, I'm young, and I don't have any serious pre-existing conditions."

     

     

    As the law gets bigger, more and more people are finding themselves kicked off their existing plans.

  4. I'm pretty sure in the bad credit/debt thread theres instructions on how to make your own using an old flashlight. Just take the batteries out and fill it with tuna salad. Something like that. Get on it, Joe

    I never made the connection before, but flashlights and cans of tuna are usually the first things that you find in a bomb shelter. Next to the urine purifier.

    Brooklyn Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo today said that a number of her constituents “don’t understand” the growing population of Asians moving into public housing units in her district.

    Ms. Cumbo told Shola Olatoye, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Housing Authority, at a hearing of the council’s public housing committee that residents in her district are perplexed that so many non-English speaking immigrants are moving into certain developments. The African-American Councilwoman stressed that she appreciates the rich cultural heritage Asians bring, but that many people wonder why the new arrivals are being allowed in to the apparent exclusion of others.

     

    I guess we can just end the charade that public assistance is intended to help everyone.
