Yes, that is what he said according to the Washington Post. The context was a business summit involving U.S. and African business people and African heads of state. Immelt was complaining that the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank is being seriously debated Washington.
The Bank makes or guarantees around $35 billion in loans, with the vast majority of the money going to large companies like GE, which Immelt heads. The Bank effectively is allowing these companies to get loans at below market interest rates, adding billions of dollars to their profits each year.
According to the piece Immelt complained:
"There's a lot of things to be critical about big businesses, and there's a lot of things that don't work in government, but exporting is not one of them and the Ex-Im Bank is not one of them, ... And the fact that we have to sit here and argue for it I think is just wrong."
It is also worth noting that article misled readers by saying:
"some Republicans and conservative groups say the bank should be allowed to die, claiming that it doles out corporate welfare and engages in crony capitalism."
There are also many people who are neither Republicans nor conservatives who do not think it is an important role of government to make people like Jeffrey Immelt even richer.
That one should be obvious, but for some reason almost no one ever says it. This is why it is very nice to see Eduardo Porter's piece making the point in the NYT today.
The basic point is probably too simple for economists to understand, but if we have 20 percent fewer people in 2050 than in a baseline scenario, then they all can emit 20 percent more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in that year and have the same amount of total emissions. Alternatively, if we have the same amount of per capita emissions, we will have 20 percent less total emissions.Restraining population growth is not going to solve the problem. We have to sharply reduce the amount of GHG emissions per person, but reaching whatever targets we set will be much easier with a smaller population.
It is remarkable how frequently news stories decry evidence of slowing population growth or shrinking populations as implying some sort of catastrophe. This is nonsense. It simply implies a tighter labor market with a rising ratio of capital to labor. In this scenario, workers switch from low productivity jobs (e.g. restaurant work, house cleaning, and retail clerks) to higher productivity jobs. This is a problem for the people who want to hire cheap labor, but will likely be seen as good news by almost everyone else.
In an article on corporate inversions (relocating their official headquarters to another country) the Washington Post told readers:
"the potential costs to the U.S. treasury are enormous. One measure, by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), suggests that the nation stands to lose nearly $20 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. Former JCT director Edward Kleinbard said he thinks the potential loss is much higher."
For those wondering how big a deal $20 billion over the next decade is, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects total revenue over this period of $40.6 trillion, which means that the JCT estimate would imply a lose of revenue of 0.05 percent. To make another comparison, Medicare spending has been coming in far lower than projected in recent years. The most recent projections for net spending in 2015 is $524 billion. By comparison, in 2008 CBO projected that we would spend $609 billion in 2015, implying a saving of $85 billion in 2015 alone. Carrying through the differences in projected growth rates in the most recent projections with the growth rate projected in 2008, the savings from lower Medicare spending would exceed $1 trillion, making them more than 50 times "enormous."
This does not mean that the Congress and the president should not try to stop a practice that serves no economic purpose and will needlessly cost the government a substantial amount of revenue. It is also important to note that this gaming of the tax code imposes real costs on the economy. There are financial firms that will earn lots of money from this sort of financial engineering. The resources used by these firms (e.g. the labor of the accountants and lawyers engineering the switch) could instead be used productively. In effect. some people are getting very rich being paid to dig holes and fill them up again, in other words, doing work of no economic value.
This is a problem with all economic transactions that become profitable wholly or partly because of quirks in the tax code. For example, much of the wealth of private equity fund managers can be attributed to their exploitation of the deduction for interest payments. This deduction effectively subsidizes heavy corporate leverage, which is undesirable from an economic standpoint since it increases the risk of bankruptcy.
The economic waste associated with tax loopholes, which almost always makes the rich richer, is at least as important a reason to be concerned about corporate tax loopholes as the lost revenue to the government.
The Post's Wonkblog has a piece telling us that we should thank the recession for the slowdown in health care cost growth. I was one of those in the camp who thought the recession was responsible for the slowdown in health care growth in 2008-2010, however I think the explanation weakens as time goes on and costs continue to grow slowly.
The point is simple. Suppose that you have $10k slashed from your income in 2008 compared to its 2007 level. We might expect that you would spend less on health care and everything else in 2008. Suppose that your income in 2009 is again $10k below where you expected it would have been back in 2007. This happens again in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. In other words, your income grows at more or less the same pace that you would have expected in each of these years, but the level in each year is 10k below what you had expected it would be in back in 2007.
In this story, which more or less captures the recovery, we might expect that the level of health care spending in these later years would be lower than had been projected in 2007, but the growth rate would be pretty much the same. The Post piece tells us that ain't so.
It cites two studies. Since one is behind a paywall, I will focus on the Brookings study which is freely available to the unwashed masses. This study finds a reasonably strong link between health care spending and GDP growth, however there is a long lag. The regressions for the growth of per capita health care spending use as independent variables current GDP growth and 5 lagged GDP terms using annual data. What is striking is that the strongest effect shows up on the fourth lagged term.
This is noteworthy in the current context because in 2013, the fourth lagged term gave us 2009 GDP growth, which was -2.8 percent. The fourth lagged term this year would give us 2010 GDP growth, which was 2.5 percent. The difference between these two implies a predicted rate of health care cost growth that is 1.6 percentage points higher in 2014 than in 2013. (This calculation uses the coefficients from column 1 of Table 1, the uptick in predicted cost growth would apply for all the regressions whose results are shown in the table, although the size would vary.)
The point is that if this study is the basis for expecting a sharp slowing of health care costs due to the weak economy, the period during which that would be true is over. Based on the study's findings we should be seeing substantially more rapid increases in health care costs in 2014 than we did last year. Thus far this doesn't appear to be the case, which may cause us to question the usefulness of this model for explaining recent patterns in health care cost growth.
Medgeek was good enough to send me the other study, a paper by David Dranove, Craig Garthwaite, and Christopher Ody, which I quickly read through. Looks to me like it provides good evidence that the recession was the major factor in reducing cost growth in 2008-2010. Their model shows that the recession would not lead to any further decline in cost growth in 2011 or later years (see Exhibit 3). In fact, the modest uptick in the employment to population ratio in subsequent years means that we should have been seeing somewhat above trend increases in health care costs in 2012-2014. So yes, there is good reason to believe that the recession was the major factor behind slower health care costs in the years 2008-2010. The continued slow growth over the last three and a half years requires another explanation.
Knowingly issuing a fraudulent mortgage (e.g. a mortgage based on false information) is fraud. It is the sort of thing that you can go to jail for, especially when it is done on a mass scale, as was the case in the financial crisis. Knowingly passing along fraudulent mortgages in mortgage backed securities is also fraud.
No important figure at any major bank was prosecuted for these activities by the Justice Department. As a result, virtually all of them benefited from their actions in the housing bubble years. They were better off as a result of having committed fraud than if they had obeyed the law. Economic theory tells us that we should expect that this would lead other executives in similar positions to act the same way. In other words, they will break the law, since the consequences of getting caught are essentially zero.
In spite of this reality, in an article on a Justice Department investigation of loan practice in the subprime auto loan market the NYT told readers:
"For the Justice Department, buffeted by criticism for not indicting a Wall Street executive, the mortgage investigations have helped polish the agency's image as a tough enforcer as they have yielded a string of multibillion dollar penalties."
The article doesn't tell readers in whose mind the Justice Department's image has been polished. The recent settlements against banks can be seen as taking actions against a mob run company after the mob has sold it off, while all the mobsters continue to go free and live off the proceeds of their illegal dealings. That may seem tough to some people, but probably not anyone who has given the issue much attention.
Note: Typo corrected.
In the NYT Upshot section Neil Irwin had an interesting piece assessing which sectors are most responsible for the weakness of the economy. His culprits (in order) were residential invesment (housing), state and local government, durable goods consumption, business equipment investment, and federal spending. Irwin's methodology was to take the Congressional Budget Office's estimate of potential GDP (roughly 5 percent higher than the current level) and then assume that each component has the same share of this potential as its average of GDP over the two decades from 1993 to 2013. The difference between this hypothetical level of demand from a component and the actual level of demand from that component in the second quarter of 2014 is the basis for determining the shortfall.
I decided to do a similar exercise with a couple of minor differences. The table below shows the difference between each component's average share of GDP in the period from 1990-2013 (this was an accident -- misread Irwin's start point) and the average for the first two quarters of 2014. The two quarters are taken together because for many components a strong second quarter offset a weak first quarter. I have also lumped components together (e.g. the categories of consumption are all together). The categories in bold are the major components that together add to GDP.
Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Income and Product Accounts, Table 1.1.5.
There are a few points that can be made from this table. First, the items that have fallen substantially as a share of GDP are government spending, which had roughly equal dropoffs at the federal and state and local levels, and residential construction. Net exports are also down as the import share had grown more than the export share. Non-residential investment is at its average level for the 1990-2013 period. The big gainer in shares is consumption, which had a 2.3 percentage points larger share of GDP in 2014 than its average in the prior period.
A New York Times article on New York City's pension funds implied that its assumed rate of return going forward is too high based on past returns over a highly selective period:
"But excessive optimism can lead to financial disaster, because regular shortfalls could ultimately leave the city unable to fulfill its required payouts. For years, the investment return expectation was set at 8 percent. In reality, the system's returns have often fallen well short of that, earning just 2 percent on average from 1999 to 2009, for instance."
It should not have been surprising that returns would be well below 8 percent in a period that started in 1999 when the price to trend earnings ratio in the stock market was close to 30. The funds should have adjusted their return projections downward in line with the unprecedented run-up in the stock market.
On the other hand, the fact that it is possible to find a year where the market has slumped badly and thereby provided very low returns is completely irrelevant to the a pension fund that in principle can exist forever. It had no need to cash out large amounts of its holdings in 2009, nor is there a plausible scenario in which it would. Of course returns have been far above the 8 percent average in the years since 2009, as the piece notes.
Given this reality, it is entirely reasonable for pensions to use the expected rate of return on their pension assets as the discount rate for future liabilities. This would lead to the smoothest flow of funding. The alternative risk-free rate which is advocated by this article (it uses it in the main chart) would effectively have pensions pre-fund their obligations so that future payments would be much lower relative to revenue. This would be equivalent to building up a large account so that the police or fire department could be paid out of the interest. No policy experts would advocate such an approach.
The piece also misleadingly blames pensions for cutbacks in city programs;
"Already, the growing sums consumed by the pension funds have forced officials to scrimp on certain programs or abandon them, said Marc La Vorgna, a press secretary during Mr. Bloomberg's administration. One casualty was the Advantage program, which helped homeless people move out of shelters and into apartments. It was eliminated in the Bloomberg administration."
It is equally accurate to say that these programs were only possible (assuming no other revenue or spending cuts) because the city wasn't meeting its obligations to the pension funds. In other words, rather than paying for possibly worthwhile programs, the city was taking the money from its workers' pay in the form of their pensions. It seems more than a bit misguided to blame the pensions for putting an end to this practice.
The points the article makes on the needless cost of investment advisers and questionable returns from private equity investments are well-taken.
I see that Gary Hufbauer and Cathleen Cimino have responded to my earlier post criticizing their colleague Adam Posen's Financial Times column touting the wonders of trade. They cover a lot of ground in their response, but I will just address two main points:
1) The pattern of trade that we have put in place over the last three decades has been a major factor reducing the wages of most of the work force (the 70 percent that lack college degrees).
2) The large trade deficit that we have at present is costing the country millions of jobs. If we eliminated the deficit, the direct and indirect effect would lead to roughly 6 million additional jobs, enough to bring the economy back to full employment.
On the first point, Hufbauer and Cimino (HC) focus largely on the impact of NAFTA. Certainly the impact of NAFTA would be considerably less than trade more generally since Mexico only accounts for about 8 percent of our imports and only about 60 percent as much as we import from China. In my column I was referring to the impact of trade more generally on wages, following Posen's piece which was a diatribe about progressives and trade.
While HC are dismissive of the idea that trade can have much negative impact on wages, it is not necessary to look far to find evidence of this effect. Lindsey Oldenski's, whose work is cited by both Posen and by HC, recently wrote a paper which has the following in the abstract:
"I find that offshoring by U.S. firms has contributed to relative gains for themost highly skilled works and relative losses for middle skilled workers. An increasein offshoring in an industry is associated with an increase in the wage gap betweenworkers at the 75th percentile and workers with median earnings in that industry,and with a decrease in the gap between workers earning the median wages and thoseat the 25th percentile. This pattern can be explained by the tasks performed byworkers. Offshoring is associated with a decrease in wages for occupations that relyheavily on routine tasks and an increase in wages if the occupation is nonroutine andcommunication task intensive."
I referred to work by David Autor, which also finds a substantial negative impact of trade on the wages of less educated workers as well as a recent analysis by Paul Krugman that suggested the expansion of imports from China likely has a large negative impact on the wages of less-educated workers. At this point, the fact that trade has had a negative impact on the wages of a large segment of the U.S. workforce really should not be controversial. The question is the size.
The NYT tells us the good news on the cost of giving people Sovaldi for treating Hepatitis C. First, the annual costs are likely to fall in the years ahead as the backlog of people with the disease are cured and the numbers needing treatment declines sharply. Second, new effective drugs will come on the market and compete with Sovaldi, driving the price down.
In a context where the government gives Savaldi a patent monopoly it is good to have multiple drugs that can provide competition. However from the standpoint of the efficiency of the drug development process this implies an enormous amount of waste.
Once an effective treatment for Hepatitis C has been developed, there is little medical benefit in having a second or third effective treatment. The resources to develop these alternatives to Sovaldi could have been much better utilized researching treatments for diseases which do not presently have a cure. However the incentives provided by the massive patent rents being earned by Gilead Sciences (the patent holder for Sovaldi) give a huge incentive to other companies to carry through duplicative research. If anyone cared about efficiency in the health care system this point would be widely publicized.
The "hard to get good help" crowd continue to dominate reporting at the Washington Post. An article on Japan's efforts to facilitate women returning to jobs after childbirth told readers:
"Japan is sitting on a demographic time bomb: With its low birth rate, the population is on track to shrink 30 percent by 2060, at the same time 40 percent of its citizens will hit old age."
There is no time bomb. Japan, like most countries, has seen an increasing ratio of retirees to workers. This has been going on for a century. This increase has been associated with rising living standards because of increases in productivity. By all projections, productivity in Japan will be vastly higher in 2060 than it is today, which means that both workers and retirees will be able to enjoy higher living standards even though there will be a lower ratio of workers to retirees.
As labor markets tighten in Japan, workers will go from less productive to more productive jobs. This will mean that people who want workers for menial jobs such as cleaning their house or tending their garden will have to pay more money. This is bad news for them, but it does not amount to a time bomb for the country.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A conservative group that had explored circulating petitions to recall Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle is giving up.
Wisconsin Interests Now announced Friday that it will focus instead on voting Doyle out of office next year should he decide to run again. Doyle has not announced his plans yet, but he's raising money for another run.
The group had launched a Web site and was recruiting volunteers. But the task was daunting. They needed signatures from 540,000 signatures to force a recall vote.

With six Pac-10 teams already bowl eligible, Arizona State's chances of landing a bowl berth are slim even if the Sun Devils win two of their final three games to become eligible for the postseason.
Oregon, Southern California, Arizona, California, Oregon State and Stanford now have at least the six wins necessary for bowl eligibility.
ASU and UCLA are 4-5. The Sun Devils' remaining games are at Oregon, at UCLA and UA.
The Pac-10 is contracted to play in six bowl games. If the conference gets two teams in Bowl Championship Series games, there is a contracted spot available for a seventh qualifier. Otherwise a 6-6 Pac-10 team, potentially ASU, could be left out unless an at-large spot is available in a bowl that could not fill its contracted berths.
A Fiesta Bowl representative attended No. 12-ranked USC's 14-9 win over ASU and likely was unimpressed by the Trojans, who were outgained 347 yards to 258 and looked nothing like a BCS worthy team. Not to mention that Fiesta choices almost always hinge on economic impact, which would be significantly down if USC fans drove over only a day or two before the Jan. 4 game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
As far at at-large bid to another bowl, that's slim pickings since minor bowls east of the Mississippi almost certainly would not be interested in a 6-6 Pac-10 team. Perhaps the Mountain West Conference will not have enough qualifiers to fill its slot in the New Mexico Bowl, but a 6-6 team can't be invited to a non-affiliated bowl if teams with winning records are available.
The situation for the Pac-10 is similar to 2006 when only USC played in a BCS game. Cal, Oregon State, UCLA, Oregon and ASU also played in '06 bowls but UA and Washington State, both 6-6, were left out of the postseason.
Last year, the Pac-10 only had five bowl qualifiers and could not fill a contracted berth in the Poinsettia and Hawaii bowls. The Pac-10 and Hawaii Bowl cancelled their contract for this season so that bowl now will pair teams from the Western Athletic Conference and Conference USA.

|Validation of chemical and non-chemical antimicrobial interventions applied pre- and post-chilling to reduce microbial populations in broiler carcasses
|Molina, Veronica Alejandra
|Higher risks of food -borne illness associated with increased consumption of poultry products make it necessary to identify potential sources of contamination and apply intervention strategies that will prevent or minimize the risk of contamination during processing . This study investigated the effects of chemical and natural decontamination treatments including sprayed application of acidified calcium sulfate (ACS ) in combination with -polylysine (EPL ) , dry -rubbing kosher salt coating and molten paraffin wax dipping application on microbial populations of broiler carcasses and parts . Treatments were evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing the numbers of artificially inoculated rifampicin resistant Salmonella Typhimurium strain NVSL 95 -1776 on the skin surface of bone -in chicken breasts . General model procedures were used to find statistical differences (P <0 .05 ) and separation of means was done with least square means using SAS 9 .1 . Chemical interventions (ACS + EPL ) caused an overall reduction of ~0 .65 CFU /ml of rifampicin resistant Salmonella Typhimurium populations in inoculated chicken breasts . Similar reductions were observed in validation experiments in whole carcasses when compared to post -eviscerated control samples as well as post chilled treated samples when compared to post -chill controls . Kosher salt interventions caused ~1 .15 CFU /ml log reductions in rifampicin resistant Salmonella Typhimurium loads . Significant differences ( >2 log reductions ) were also observed in validation trials in both pre - and post -chilled samples when compared to non -treated pre - and post -chilled controls . Only for psychrotrophic counts , chilled and post -chill interventions did not have a significant effect (P >0 .05 ) . The use of molten paraffin wax caused <0 .51 CFU /ml log reductions on rifampicin resistant Salmonella Typhimurium in chicken breasts . In addition , drip loss on kosher treated samples was 53 .8 % lower than non -treated counterparts . However , kosher salt application caused a decrease in lightness (*L values ) and yellowness (*b values ) on treated carcasses when compared to controls , redness (*a values ) were not significantly affected . Results indicate that the combined use of ACS and EPL at the stated conditions and the coating application of kosher salt on broiler carcasses significantly reduce pathogen contamination and microbial indicator loads , thus providing an alternative validated antimicrobial intervention for potential use by the poultry industry .

|Albino Cory
Albino Cories make good hardy community fish, great for beginners and experienced aquarist alike!
Latest Animal Stories
amanda salesman - 2010-02-04
i have albino cory fish and I have had them for years and years in a 55 gallon tank, they grew big. But also in my 55 gallon tank I had almost every fish you can imagine, but for some reason they just all started to die off. I think it was because of the albino frog I bought. So I decided to get a 10 gallon just for my little fish and added some new little bitty albino cory fish and to my suprise today I looked and there is at least 55 eggs on the side of my tank. But I did not know this until I had come home from the pet store and bought a bunch of little tropical fish. I hope these little eggs will survive, hope the tropical fish wont eat them. They are all small, don't know if this matters or not. I have never seen this in my 55 gallon tank, which may be because there was other big fish in there that probably always ate the eggs, especially the frog. So anyways I'm so excited, but then I'm scared. I'm just going to leave them there and let nature decide on what to do. Hopefully it will all work out. I see the little albinos swimming by the eggs on the side of the tank all the time, wonder if this is a good thing. I wonder if I should just take every little fish out of the 10 gallon tank and just leave the eggs by themselves, please a little help. lol

I've got 2 corys and they have just laid eggs all over my tank, in many spots. The angels got most of them and the rubies got the rest. I managed to get about a dozen into a bleeding net so I'm hoping that I'll get a few to hatch. These little buggers will lay anywhere, I've put a snail in the breeding net which has about 8 eggs on it's shell. It's wait and see now.

I have a pair of albino cories they are little but what do I feed them?
Cliff Jordan - 2009-12-04
Here's a trick. If you have plants in your tank, they may desposit the eggs on the plants. If so, break off the leaves of the plants and put them in a floating auxiliary tank (plastic, not the netted kind otherwise the babies will get trapped). The "more brown" eggs will disappear and the white ones will remain. That is because they hatched (the white ones are unfertilized and can be discarded). They will be protected in the auxiliary tank, and you can feed them with Tetra-min baby flakes. Mine literally had 200 babies. As they get older (they are about a week old), I'm losing 10-12 per day. I'm trying to figure if I am feeding them too much or too little. It's a great study in Darwinism (survival of the fittest) as you can see phyical deformities (curved spines, inflated abdomens) and mental sickness (CRAZY fish). They all have different personalities. Fascinating!!

I have 2 albino corys and Friday I found fish eggs on my tank and they started to hatch on Sunday! Now I got got over 200 little tad fry's in my ten gal tank and I don't know what to do... can anyone tell me what I'm to feed them and how to keep them alive until I can get them big enough to sell them to the pet store?
jenni - 2009-09-08
I have had a pair of Albino Cory Cats for over 5 years now. They have laid eggs on the side off the aquarium before, but I had Guppies and they would eat them. I just cleaned and planted my 20 gallon tank and they are happier and more active than ever before and already deposited eggs on the glass. I am hoping they will hatch this time since there are no Guppies!!

Knoxville Area Homeless Veterans Stand Down October 11, 2014
The link at the bottom will take you to a video showing the very first public singing of "GOD BLESS AMERICA ". But before you watch it, you should also know the story behind the first public showing of the song.
The time was 1940. America was still in a terrible economic depression. Hitler was taking over Europe and Americans were afraid we'd have to go to war. It was a time of hardship and worry for most Americans.
This was the era just before TV, when radio shows were HUGE, and American families sat around their radios in the evenings, listening to their favorite entertainers, and no entertainer of that era was bigger than Kate Smith.
Kate was also patriotic. It hurt her to see Americans so depressed and afraid of what the next day would bring.
She had hope for America , and faith in her fellow Americans. She wanted to do something to cheer them up,
so she went to the famous American song-writer, Irving Berlin (who also wrote "White Christmas") and asked him to write a song that would make Americans feel good again about their country. When she described what she was looking for, he said he had just the song for her.
He went to his files and found a song that he had written, but never published, 22 years before - way back in 1917. He gave it to her and she worked on it with her studio orchestra. She and Irving Berlin were not sure how the song would be received by the public, but both agreed they would not take any profits from God Bless America . Any profits would go to the Boy Scouts of America . Over the years, the Boy Scouts have received millions of dollars in royalties from this song.
This video starts out with Kate Smith coming into the radio studio with the orchestra and an audience. She introduces the new song for the very first time, and starts singing. After the first couple verses, with her voice in the background still singing, scenes are shown from the 1940 movie, "You're In The Army Now." At the 4:20 mark of the video you see a young actor in the movie, sitting in an office, reading a paper; it's Ronald Reagan. [A few seconds later, Jimmy Stewart.]
To this day, God Bless America stirs our patriotic feelings and pride in our country. Back in 1940, when Kate Smith went looking for a song to raise the spirits of her fellow Americans, I doubt whether she realized just how successful the results would be for her fellow Americans during those years of hardship and worry .. . and for many generations of Americans to follow. Now that you know the story of the song, I hope you'll enjoy it and treasure it even more.
Many people don't know there's a lead in to the song since it usually starts with "God Bless America .. . " So here's the entire song as originally sung.

Unstuck in Time
While working on my column about Kurt Vonnegut this week, I had a dream in which I filed a draft and was surprised to notice that it ran to just two paragraphs.
In real life, "The Eternal Sophomore" is not quite that short. But at some point I did decide to leave a lot of stuff to moulder in my notes and make it fairly compact.
While mentioning that most readers encounter Vonnegut in adolescence, I didn't go into my own experience of doing so -- reading Slaughterhouse Five in a frenzy of concentration throughout a boring day at Wills Point High School (recently named "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency! yay!) circa 1980, for example.
But on reflection, that was not my first encounter with Vonnegut -- which seems to have come at roughly age 10, when I had absolutely no idea that was taking place. Sometime in 1973 or '74, I saw a film on television (PBS it turns out) that was a satirical, science-fictionish account of someone living in a future or an alternate world where there were, among other things, "suicide parlors" one could go to for a quick exit. It struck me as really funny and strange, but I never caught the name of it.
Years later, I found a paperback with the script of Vonnegut's Between Time and Timbuctu (based on some of his short stories) and immediately recognized it. I have no idea how well it would hold up after 35 years. Unfortunately it is not available on DVD or otherwise, that I can tell. It seems as if there might be enough interest for this to be worth someone's while.
For another moment in Vonnegutian cinema:

(BBB News Center) The BBB News Center is issuing a warning for Facebook users.
A clever scam in the form of a fake Facebook account cancellation email is making the rounds, and it's easy to get fooled. Don't let the threat of losing your account trick you into installing malware on your computer.
How the Scam Works:
The scam starts with a suspicious email informing Facebook users that they have a received an "account cancellation request," reports computer security blog Naked Security. Recipients are urged to follow a link to cancel the request.
Here's the clever part. The link appears to be official because it goes to a facebook.com address. Really, it links to a third-party application just running on the Facebook platform.
If you do click on the link, a message asks you to allow an unknown application to run on your computer. Click the "run" button, and you will see a message telling you to download the new version of Adobe Flash. The file that downloads is not the latest version of Flash, but code allowing hackers to spy on your activities and take control of your computer.
Read the story from the BBB News Center HERE.

There has been constant reference in the news over the past 15 years or so that we are paying so much more for public education while test results and the quality of education is going DOWN. I haven't looked at my property taxes that closely, but I can't imagine that any part of it has gone down recently (except by reason of age, homestead, etc. exemption).
I also don't think the government wants the idea of "home schooling" to catch on in a widespread fashion across the country. If that happened, too many people might ask the questions you are asking and start a movement to "opt out" of paying taxes for public education.
I believe the BOE did not raise their millage but LRMC did raise theirs.
If you own your home you can apply for your homestead exemption reduction, and the Stephens-Day deduction, and if you are 62 or over you get a little break there also.
I think I remember a court case a few years back that brought up what you are talking about lholmes. His children were out of public school and not living with him. As you might can guess, he lost in his attempt to be made excempt from BOE taxation. I cannot remember the verbiage "justifying" the fact that he still had to pay school taxes...something about 'community enhancement and betterment...."
School tax is a cost to society as a whole.
The high school tax burden on owners of property in Liberty County is the direct result of the burden on our school system to provide a place to school the military dependents.
The military for the most part don't pay much in the way of tax until their retirement years when they acquire homes and start paying property tax.
Federal Impact Aid does not begin to cover the cost.
I thought that the BOE raised the millage rate, maybe not.
I think our Board over spends.
Did we need a second football field in the county? Did we need to turn Olvey field around? Did we need a clock tower at the Performing Arts? Did we need to clear cut in front and sod the area in front of the Arts center? Did we need a clock tower and a new bus ramp at the Pre-k center? Do we need 5 assistant superintendents and all of their perks? Do the need to be second in Georgia for board members travel?
Anytime you go to a board meeting and mention funds and spending, you get feed, "That comes from a different pot of funds" Well No matter which pot it comes from, the pot gets filled from my only income. Can I chose which pot I would like to put it in?
I think our Board is irresponsible with out money.
Workers in the school system are being furloughed and positions are cut and not being filled, because there is no money. Then they turn around and make up new HIGH paying positions.
Page 11 is the assistant superintendent pay. Compare that to the first 8 or so, the teachers.
The BOE is too top heavy.

More than 100,000 people have died in the conflict, which morphed from a popular movement for change into an insurgency after the regime unleashed a brutal crackdown on dissent.

I would like to tell you about our app Gvidi (www.gvidi.me) which will become your personal guide to the restaurant world around you. It has been recently launched in the US and even featured byTechCrunch and Social Times.

Gvidi is the intelligent personalized restaurant search engine which recommends the best food locations fitting your individual tastes.

At a time when the explosion of data around us is making our lives more complex, Gvidi is making finding a place to eat simple as never. Stop wasting your time on studying directories, maps, restaurant review collections, history of your friends' check-ins, and other supersaturated data sets to make up your mind on where to go. Gvidi is doing that for you and forecasts your individual sympathies for each restaurant nearby.

The free Android app features a massive directory of bar, restaurant, and cafe locations, photos, and reviews made really intelligent by Gvidi's personalized search score. Based on your searching, location, interests, and social profiles, Gvidi recommends the best restaurants fitting your tastes. All recommended restaurants are given percentage scores based on their fit to your individual preferences and can be filtered across multiple criteria: WiFi, 24/7, playground, non-smoking, and more.

The secret to the app's great recommendations is our Advanced Algorithms for your Appetite: Gvidi processes open data about your and your friends' habits and interests across social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, and automatically creates your potential interest level for a certain type of food location. As a result, the app points out how much (0% to 100%) you will like each cafe or restaurant nearby. Your feedback from ratings and connecting through social networks ensures these personalized recommendations get smarter as you search.

The Gvidi app features a clean, glossy modern design. All recommendations are easily viewed by map and in a detailed list. Give ratings to restaurants and cafes you have been to before, and connect Gvidi to your social media accounts in order to get the most accurate personalized recommendations.

Active travellers and big city inhabitants would love this app. Enjoy your personal Gvidi, and please share your ideas about the app right here.
