After outlining plans to cut Medicare and education,

of many college professionals. From NY Times Business section: "In August, four months after Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng started the online education company Coursera its free college courses had drawn in a million users, a faster launching than either Facebook or Twitter. The co-founders, computer science professors at Stanford University, watched with amazement as enrollment passed two million last month, with 70,000 new students a week signing up for over 200 courses, including Human- ...

Anyone have New Year's Eve plans or traditions? I personally find New Year's Eve depressing, especially since the news people love to re-hash the tragedies of the past year. We're staying home tonight and I got some movies to watch. Tomorrow we go to my mother's for the traditional pork and sauerkraut dinner. (I don't know if that's traditional everywhere, but it is in SE Pennsylvania.) ...

'Scuse me for any typos or double remarks if any. I am trying to type this as he speaks. He plans to veto earmarks (how can this happen-there is no line item veto), cut LIHEAP program, freeze federal employee wages for 2 years (didn't they already do that?), cut military spending as Gates wanted, will work with everyone to simplify the tax code, but it sounds like he doesn't want to change anything with SS. He wants to increase taxes for those earning over $200K. Then he wants to ...

In this video, NY Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin is asked to keep quiet a proposal by Democrats to confiscate guns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryUbJfg4tAo&feature=player_embedded On his Facebook page, McLaughlin went ahead and released the list: “Here it is. This is the video where I was asked to keep the Democrat proposals for the NY SAFE Act away from the public. This list was given to me by a colleague and it is not confidential. This bill was an attack on the 2nd amendmen ...

President Obama isn't the only one who has presented a jobs plan. In “Believe in America: Mitt Romney’s Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth,” the candidate says that if elected, he would lower the corporate tax rate by 10 percentage points, points, to a top rate of 25 percent; eliminate taxes on capital gains, dividends, and interest for taxpayers earning under $200,000 a year; slash the federal workforce by 10 percent, by allowing Uncle Sam to hire a new employe ...

As the government closes the books Sunday with a $1.1 trillion deficit for the year, which required borrowing 32 cents for every dollar it spent, budget analysts have little confidence in either presidential candidate's plan to address the accumulating debt, now at about $16 trillion. The Republican nominee promises to balance the budget in eight years to 10 years, but he also offers a mix of budgetary contradictions: higher Pentagon spending, restoring cuts that Democrats made in Medicare ...

As is well publicized, a Seattle Federal judge has halted President Trump’ executive order pertaining to temporary travel restrictions. What is not more widely known is who is directly responsible for this halt. The MSM are hailing Judge James Robart’s temporary halt as a brave decision and a fight back against injustice. What the media are largely ignoring is that a judge only rules on a case, the case is brought by a plaintiff and the plaintiff is represented by a lawyer (or group of ...

We'll eventually get a budget put in there and you know what's going to happen? One or more of these: earthquake, volcanic erruption (Mt. St. Helens or others), tornadoes, another Katrina, drought, floods, etc. Oh, and then some terrorist will probably do something somewhere that we will have to respond to, so you can forget taking money from Defense. None of our plans matter in the whole scheme of things. However, that bail-out of Texas makes me shake with anger. ...

Here we go again. Sorry, but doesn't he realize we're broke yet? WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of seniors in popular private insurance plans offered through Medicare will be getting a reprieve from some of the most controversial cuts in President Barack Obama's health care law. In a policy shift critics see as political, the Health and Human Services department has decided to award quality bonuses to hundreds of Medicare Advantage plans rated merely average. The $6.7 ...

Lower down on the board there is a discussion of education. In one of my posts I mentioned parallels between Trump and the fascist dictators of WWII, mainly that they had high approval ratings by their followers before their demise. She stated she didn't know about WWII. Assuming she is an adult, what does that say about our educational system? ...

"Now, any small business or individual health policy that begins on or before Oct. 1, 2016, can remain in effect. That means non-compliant plans could be in use through the end of September in 2017." Other changes include: "– The open enrollment period for 2015 extends to Feb. 15 of next year, instead of Jan. 15. Enrollment for next year starts Nov. 15 of this year. – States that want to run their own insurance marketplace in 2015 will have a later deadline for filing a blue ...

The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger. The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration because the projected costs are 20% below what the CBO first projected in 2010. But the CBO report also shows that ObamaCare will be far more disruptive to the employer-based insurance market, while being far less ef ...

Communism, by the way, is not really a type of government — communism describes a future classless society which results from socialism. There has never been a communist human society… yet… Because the word “socialism” is often abused by the major media-outlets, it is hard to explain the idea behind socialism without clearing the table by emphasizing what socialism is not: Socialism is not a type of government Socialism is not sh ...

President Clinton alone gave enough numbers and specifics to provide quotes for almost any discussion that comes up. Obviously there was more than just his famous verbosity behind his hitting every single point of the GOP promises and every single point of the Dems' during his long speech. My big question is, when Governor Romney says he'll provide "lots of jobs," is he just keeping it and the rest of his plan simple for the unenquiring mind, or is he that determined not to reveal wha ...

Many Insurance Plans Heap Healthcare Costs on Consumers Plans with lower premiums burden members with potentially crushing costs. A first-ever U.S. News analysis of nearly 6,000 health insurance plans marketed to individuals and families reveals that many of the consumers who enroll in these plans may confront budget-wrecking out-of-pocket costs that deplete their savings. Large numbers of plans severely limit coverage for such services as prescription drugs, maternity coverage, men ...

One of President Obama’s key advisers in drafting the health-care legislation that is now law says Obamacare will eventually spell the end of employer-based health plans. Experts from both sides of the aisle aren’t upset by the idea of removing employers from the health-care equation. However, both sides are also skeptical that Obamacare will have the effect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel predicts. Emanuel is quoted in the New York Times saying that a few blue-chip companies will be the tip o ...

A Texas lawmaker is launching an investigation after a teacher reportedly invited female students to dress up in Islamic garb and told then told her classroom they should call Muslim terrorists – freedom fighters. State Sen. Dan Patrick, chairman of the senate education committee, told Fox News he is very disturbed by the photograph as well as reports that students were exposed to a story that blamed Egypt’s turmoil on democracy – rather than the Muslim Brotherhood. “Parents ar ...

And what is her crime? She wants poor and disadvantaged children to have the same opportunities for a good education that others have. Vouchers that follow the children to the school of their choice, thereby funding good schools so they can take more children instead of perpetually pouring more and more and more money down the drain with failed schools. Imagine that we decided tomorrow that reliable personal transportation was a right. It's not inconceivable. ...

This is fairly long, takes 5 minutes, but it is needed. Immediately after the election... He and Musarrat talked about what to do. He began investigating a job in Dubai. He spoke to his brother in Florida, an investment adviser, who had received a fax after the election that read, “Get the f--- out of my country you Muslim pig,” and was moving to Canada. Musarrat kept thinking about the time after Sept. 11 when a man had chased her with a baseball bat, yelling about her headscarf. ...

Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle's staunch opposition to federal involvement in health care -- or pretty much everything, for that matter -- was contorted Tuesday with recent news that she and her husband receive government provided health care. From Tuesday's Politico Morning Score: Angle's campaign acknowledged to Nevada journalist Jon Ralston Monday that both the candidate and her husband receive health care from the federal government. Spokeswoman Ciara Matt ...
