My View On “Mary L. Landrieu and Patty Murray: How to Close the Skills Gap”

We invest plenty in education, what we don't get is the desired outcome from our investments. If there is a mismatch between the type of students our schools produce and the types of skills businesses expect, why don't schools and businesses develop your communication skills a partnership.

Thoughts On “Companies Step Up Layoffs”

I do not support President Obama. I am a devout Christian and cannot stomach his agenda. With that being said, we cannot blame this entirely on Obama. Yes, he has made it worse. However, we all have wanted something for nothing, and collectively as a society have taken on way too much debt and bought houses we knew we could not afford. We want the government Read More

Opinion On “Why This Crisis Is Different From the 2008 Financial Crisis”

I wonder if persistent low interest rates are inhibiting private borrowing, especially for things like mortgages. People know that the debasement of the currency will have long term career goals term consequences, and they know that like an overwound spring, something eventually has to give, which in this case will be interest rates. It's not unthinkable that Read More

Some Thoughts On “Loose Lips Trip Up An Executive at Allstate”

I agree I had had a change agent in agent; my old agent retired, I think you are right about GEICO but they did the job within 36 hours we were able to buy our current house. I am grateful.

Some Thoughts On “Speakers of More Than One Language May See Delayed Onset of Dementia Symptoms”

Unless you're a truly gifted guy madly in love with whatever academic discipline you choose to pursue, the road to academic excellence starts and ends with sheer bordem.

Why now sue Cain when it happened , don't wait years for you how to break up with your boyfriend make your appearance. With Obama driving the bus who knows.

My Analysis On “Bair’s Legacy: An FDIC With Teeth”

If Shelia Bair thinks regulation will do anything to stop downturns in the business cycle of abuse, then she doesn't know anything about the business cycle, what it is or how it works. And anybody who thinks that what we need when we're trying to claw our way out of a recession--is tighter regulation of the banking industry? Should have their head examined. Heaping Read More

Opinion On “Review & Outlook: Warren Buffett’s Tax Dodge”

My Analysis On “Jon Huntsman: Reigniting the Entrepreneurial Spirit”

There are different ways to collect taxes that end up collectset in your waysg the same dollar amount. Some ways distort the economy and allocation of resources, capital and people and ways to minimize that misallocation.

A Response To “The End of the Email Era”

There's always a learning curve in any sort of behavioral shift. The communication in relationshipss shift from email to real-time information streams is no different. Of course we won't be abandoning email any time soon, but the point (I think) of this article isn't to say we should all abandon email for all our communicating, but that there are real applications Read More
