Comprehensive discussion of each at the link above. Worth a look.

I caught this article earlier.

Sent it on to Mrs WBill with the heading "This Article Explains why I Yell at the TV during the news."

Most of the stuff in the article would be old news to Freepers (Global Warming isn't settled?! The economy isn't tanking?!) but maybe it will open a few people's eyes.

10. Airlines are solely to blame for the unfriendly skies. Media myth: Blame the airlines for all those flight delays; never mind the obsolete government-run agency creating the gridlock.

I try really really hard not to take this sort of thing personally...

They left out one of my favorites: Corporate taxes are paid by Corporations, and consumers feel no impact.

The Dems are making hikes on corporate taxes, especially oil companies, a huge part of their platform, and no one is calling them on it (in debates or MSM).

I would love to hear the Democrat candidates demonstrate their knowledge of corporate economics.

It’s like when my clients complain about paying for certain work related expenses. They never even consider that all I do is bake those expected expenses into my next proposal.

The government forces United to pretend that it has six flights leaving Ohare for the three airports in Silicon Valley alone from 5:30 to 5:35?

I'd say:

1) The readjustment of the dollar vs. other world currencies is some sort of economic cataclysm and leaves the dollar unprecedentedly "weak".

Reasoning: Why is it that when a car manufacturer cuts its prices, it's considered "aggressive," but when a currency falls with respect to others, it's "weak"?

The "weak" dollar is so "weak" that the chairman of Airbus is complaining he can't compete. [http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Find-Freedom.htm?At=027041&From=News] And here's a perspective-making chart from Investor's Business Daily that you won't see in the New York Times:



Clearly the anomaly was during the Clinton years, when the "strong" (that is, "strong" as in "uncompetitive" and "flaccid") dollar seems, in retrospect, like a gift to Clinton's fellow Gramsciian socialists, then in power in Europe and struggling with that continent's uncompetitiveness.

That sound you hear is factories being built and workers being hired-- here, for a change.
