Comment on European Union Sovereign-Debt Crisis Having Minimal Impact on Telecoms by spiritofjubilee

Hey There Marketdigest,
Thanks for the above, The first thing you have to consider when it comes to the European Union is its great practical importance for every institution of the member countries. EU is not only manifested politically, being also able to influence the everyday life of its citizens in various fields. A suitable example is the introduction of its own currency, Euro.
BTW great blogpost
In America: governments, businesses, individuals are now buried under a mountain of debt. A mountain of debt that will never be repaid.

Who will borrow when they can’t make the payments on the debt that they have already? The math alone calls for a system reset, a debt jubilee.

Investors are already losing… in a rigged monetary casino that rewards usury, speculation, and currency manipulation while looting main street.

There is a moral principle that debts should be honored. That is, debts between businesses that buy and sell real products, not bundled ponzi schemes, debts between individuals, between friends and businesses that know each other to be rational and moral, debts based on investments where there is a rational expectation of return.

There is also a moral principle that unjust debts should be cancelled, and usury legislated against. Debts that are ‘odious’, debts based on fraud, debts to dictators, debts arranged by oligarchs without the consent of the general population (the 99 percent who have been left out of the equation), debts based upon compound interest upon compound interest, that should have been written off long ago, the debts need to be cancelled in a general jubilee. Think outside the box. It’s time for a jubilee.

Comment on Poll shows Oregonians passing tax measures that hit banks, credit card companies by Edward Schultz

Why don’t people think before they vote?
First, who do you think will pay this tax increase? The answer is quite simple; the consumer will pay! That’s you folks, the same ones who are voting the tax increase. So enjoy paying higher prices to cover the increased taxes.
Second, if the NEA and the teachers are so concerned about our children’s education, why did they threaten to strike this past year in the worst part of our recession if they didn’t get a wage increase? The police here in Eugene had to forgo an increase to avoid layoffs. Maybe our not-so illustrious teachers should handle some of the criminal activities here. If you doubt my word, email county board member Pete Sorenson. He told me this in an email.
Third, new companies who have good revenues in their startup year will pay taxes even though they show a loss. WOW! That should do a lot to engender the creation of new employment opportunities in Eugene.
Fourth, why would I start or think about moving my business in/to Oregon? It is currently among the highest tax rate in the nation and many idiots who are voting for these new taxes are making it even worse.
I have been a Democrat my entire life which is over 70 years but this is my last year of tax-tax-tax. I have always been for helping the underprivileged and under-employed but I can no longer support those who will not endeavor to prepare themselves for life. Now, the same folks who are ill prepared to exist in our society want to live from those who have taken the initiative to succeed in life. I will not be a part of it any longer and I am changing my political affiliation to either independent or Republican. I never thought I would hear myself say this but…
Fifth: Our illustrious governors in Salem have voted themselves a large increase, also during a cash shortage in Oregon. They increased an already bloated budget by over $400 million. Great leadership and forward thinking – NOT!
Oh, by the way, if you took the time to read the pending legislation, you would see that only 20% of the increased business taxes go to the Attorney Generals Office and the rest goes into the general fund. You can categorize the general fund any way you wish but it’s still the general fund. This tax proposal leaves a surplus which will not come back to the constituency, but will be spent. Maybe on additional office furniture, carpet and decor.
Just one closing item; for those who say we don’t want anything Socialistic, please stay off of the public roads, public beaches, out of our public schools, don’t use our public parks or public buildings or anything else that includes the word “public”. My goodness, folks, that is pure Socialistic. We are a Socio-Capitalistic society. Maybe you should read Orwell’s 1984. It’s coming closer and closer.
Enjoy paying for the tax increase you are voting in this special election. Keep increasing taxes. Just don’t look for additional work here in Oregon. It will be in New Mexico and other states who are taking a pro-active stand to entice businesses. You might also consider buying American made products. Gee, that might also create a few more jobs here instead of offshore, mostly China.
Keep voting without doing your due diligence. It doesn’t work at all but you did vote, even if you screwed yourself over!

Comment on Green jobs key to reducing nation’s high unemployment rates by Lesley LEED AP

Lesley LEED AP — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:16:49 +0000

I could not agree more with your headline! The recent federal stimulus package promoting green job training is going to be so beneficial for those looking for employment. Not only is the green movement gaining popularity and relevance, but the skills learned in these training courses are transferable to so many other areas. Companies like Everblue Training Institute are offering such green job training, certifying individuals in just 5 days! After graduating from Everblue’s BPI Energy Auditor course, one may participate in Everblue’s 6-week energy auditor internship. Both the training and the internship are designed to give individuals first-hand experience with a green trade, as well as networking to help you find a job! ANYONE can become an energy auditor. Now is the time to take advantage of the government’s funds and enroll in a training course. This stimulus package was a great idea. I’m ridiculously excited about it because I know it will bring a plethora of jobs, as well as really help make our homes energy efficient.

Comment on Post-recession incomes will be hit hard by health care spending for middle class working families, PENN analysis shows by Christopher Gregory

Christopher Gregory — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:14:53 +0000

What we need is a revamped healthcare system. Quarrelling about how to pay for it, no matter who wins the reform debate, won’t fix the long-term problem.

Comment on NAEBA Calls on Congress to Establish a Federal Mandate for Real Estate Agency Disclosure by Steve

Steve — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:47:26 +0000

Disclosures with agents? Never heard of such a thing.
My Prudential agent called me with a fresh listing of home not on the market yet. A real trashed home at a bargain price of three fifty. She said it would be a duel agency with her. I said I’d like to use my own agent from Sothebys. She said if you do that I’ll have to place it on the M L S and I would have to compete for the home. Too late now. I could tell Pam was toying with the truth when she pretended to chew gum.
