I really have trouble believing that the Republicans are as dumb as they appear. While the Koch brother’s may be evil, it is hard to imagine that they are stupid. So maybe this is what’s going on. Debt Limit and Government shutdown creates constitutional crisis Everyone is wondering what is the Republican’s end … Continue reading

Syria, one person got it right
Last thursday, I wrote on my facebook wall, the real reason Obama had asked congress to vote on the attack in Syria was to get a reason to delay so he could meet with Putin and Putin could talk with Assad but giving up his chemical weapons. Well it is happening. But the press has … Continue reading
See where you tax money goes and puke
Every year when I file my taxes (which I actually have to pay quarterly), I wait for the IRS to send me a thank you note but it never comes. Today, I thought that it would be wonderful to have an app that would let you see where you tax dollars went. I did a … Continue reading
Romney Tax Strategies: A Tutorial by Avram Miller
As person who prides himself on being very astute on tax reduction matters, I have to admire a true star and I am not sure I am worthy to write about this. If I thought for a minute that Romney would be as good at being a president as he has been in avoiding taxes, I would definitely vote for him Continue reading
Let the Government do more with less
We seem to have two political positions in our two political parties. The first by the republicans is “spend less and do less”. The second by the democrats is “spend more and do more”. How about “spend less and do more”. We need the government to do more, especially at this time. There is a … Continue reading
I don’t believe that Israel will attack Iran before the 2012 election. This is why

I apologize and ask you to read it again. Thanks. These are my views on a very complex situation. Iran is trying to provoke … Continue reading
Is God a Superhero
Karen Santorum, Rick Santorum’s Wife, Says “Campaign Is ‘God’s Will” I understand that some people believe in God or some other spiritual force. My relationship with God would be best described as “its complicated”. There is a lot we do not understand about the Universe and our own existence, such as “How did the Universe … Continue reading
Obama, I am willing to run as your Vice President but only if you listen
Dear Barack, the person that I wish would be come president is the man I voted for in 2008, you. But you turned out not to be the person I thought you were. Some how you thought you could play the political game and win. You thought you were a giant but you even a … Continue reading
The Republican Nominee was not on the stage at the debate
The next president of the United States could well be a republican but it will not be any of the clowns we have been seeing at the republican debates. Continue reading
Introducing the Four Day Work Week
I hate to be the one to tell you, but the jobs that were lost in the debacle that resulted in part from the real estate bubble, are not coming back. So if we are going to have 10% unemployment (it’s really more like 20% but we don’t count the people that had given up looking for work), more or less permanently (although will likely get worse), then what does this mean for our country? So is there an alternative? Yes, we can go back to the promise of a four day work week, something I was told to expect when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s. If we reduced the work week to 32 hours, after a period of adjustment, everyone could be employed. Continue reading
