Prepare your customers for summer
With long term weather forecasts Australia-wide projecting a hot October and November and with cyclone season approaching, the whole insurance industry is firming up its catastrophe response plans.
What can you do to ensure a smooth process at claims time?
Make sure that your customers' sums insured are up to date. Value of a building, cost of removing debris and rebuilding and labour costs are elements that are best reviewed annually to maintain an adequate sum insured. It has been said many times before, but it is even more critical at the time of a catastrophe. An insufficient sum insured will affect the payout, especially when it comes to a total loss.

As the market dips yet again following another fitful rally, reality has been setting in for most Americans: We're in a recession—and the gilded age of credit-fueled lifestyles and profits is over. For advisors, conversations about long-term plans are full of near-term adjustments. The silver lining for spendthrift clients: That Ferrari is going to get cheaper.
"The question 'Should we be cutting back?' certainly comes up a lot more now with clients," says Roman Batschynsky, president and founder of Oakwood Financial Network in Troy, Michigan. "A lot of our clients are in auto-related jobs. Many of them have pensions and have been counting on those," he says. "For years they've been comfortable staying aggressive in their equity portfolios so long as they knew the pension was there. That's changing dramatically, as you can imagine," he says. "Many of them are reevaluating not only their spending, but their risk tolerance."
For the average American, times are tough. The September S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index of 20 U.S. cities fell 17.4 percent year over year—that is the most on record—and is now down 21.7 percent from its high in July '06. On a month-over-month and year-over-year basis, all 20 cities saw declines. Meanwhile, November non-farm employment payrolls declined by 530,000 jobs, the worst decline in six years, sending unemployment up to 6.7 percent—its highest level in 15 years.
Merrill Lynch economist David Rosenberg was already making dire predictions back in September before much of the recent (and biggest declines) in the markets occurred. His 75-page report titled "The Frugal Future" is full of gloomy charts about housing (inventory backlog, delinquency rates rising, more price deflation to come), employment and credit cards (the next shoe to drop?). These days, as the holiday shopping season approaches, the American consumer—one of Rosenberg's focus points in the report—is in the spotlight. And cowering. Not only does American spending drive 70 percent of U.S. GDP, but 18 percent of global GDP, according to Rosenberg. And, during recessions, the consumer is in duck-and-cover mode. Aside from medical costs and utilities, every other category sees big cutbacks.
"I think people across the board—including our clients—are cutting back. In large part many of them don't want to liquidate something that's down to pay for living expenses," says Chandler Taylor, a principal with St. Louis-based RIA, The Moneta Group. One of his clients is about to set sail on an $85,000 cruise with his entire family, a trip he planned years ago. But he's not thumbing his nose at the downturn—he would have cancelled the trip if he had cancellation insurance. Taylor says talking about spending can be a touchy subject, so it calls for some tact. "Talking about cutting spending back requires a balance. You don't want to frighten your clients but you want to be able to discuss it," he says. "We usually say something like, 'If you were thinking of cutting back, now might be a good time to do it.'"
Even the ultra-wealthy are reining it in. New York auction house Sotheby's reported a $52 million loss in mid-November due to "guarantees" it made to sellers on property that sold well below expectation, including a $33 million sale of Edgar Degas' "Dancer in Repose," owned by private equity star, Henry Kravis (Sotheby's guaranteed him $40 million) and 16 post-war drawings owned by former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld and his wife, which sold for $13.5 million after a $20 million guarantee. According to MasterCard's "Spending Pulse," luxury expenditures—jewelry, art, apparel, sports cars, etc.—are down 20 percent. "Luxury brands are definitely feeling the pain," says Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute, a New York research firm that studies the luxury habits of the wealthiest Americans. "Some brands are marking their products down as much as 50 percent because they have big inventory from planning on a solid year," he says. Porsche? Sales fell in November to half of what they were in the year ago period. Tiffany, Saks, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus—all have experienced significant drops in sales. (In the January issue of Vanity Fair, there is a story titled "Profiles in Panic," which is an anecdotal round-up of how Wall Street's bigwigs—and their wives—have started to pull back. The story offers this telling tidbit: "The day after Lehman Brothers went down, a high-end Manhattan department store reportedly had the biggest day of returns in its history. 'Because the wives didn't want the husbands to get their credit card bills,'" says an anonymous fashion-industry insider quoted in the story.)
Mark Johannessen, a principal of Sullivan, Bruyette, Speros & Blayney, an RIA in McLean, Va., says he's trying to keep clients focused on their long-term financial plans. "Where does the last 18 months leave them, how does it change the picture, that's what we're discussing," he says. "Does your current $25,000/month lifestyle jeopardize the long-term viability of your plan? Or the $30,000 allotted annually for vacations, does that need to be tweaked?" But he says the discussion goes the other way, too. "Is now a good time to buy anything?" he asks. As consumers across the country pull back and prices—from luxuries like cars to houses—continue to see downward pressure, Johannessen says discussing opportunities with clients is also important. "We have a client that had projected a house purchase in four or five years. Now he might consider buying it sooner, before the market begins to go up again," he says. Take New York, which has seen relative stability in its real estate prices, where the wealthy are feverishly trying to shed luxury condos: On Streeteasy.com, a real estate research website, listings for $10-million-plus condos in Manhattan have averaged 40 per month in 2008, up from 27 per month in 2007.
For some, the conversation has resulted in business in other areas. For example, Batchynsky says a byproduct of the current environment is that the estate planning side of his business is getting a lot of attention. Why? Parents are increasingly concerned about their kids' future. "They worked in the pension era, and they're acutely aware that their kids and grandkids will most definitely not have that to fall back on," he says. So while they may be planning to tap an IRA they planned to keep for the kids for living expenses down the road, some have set up specially designed irrevocable trusts with a life insurance policy inside that goes to heirs at the death of the second parent. Spend 'til the end? Not anymore.

The holiday season is full of joy, laughter, family and fun. We hope that every family out there gets to have the perfect Christmas. It's a time that's meant to create happiness all across the world. It's also known as a time of giving to others, sharing and loving.
It's unfortunate when an accident at home happens during the holiday seasons. Weather it be frozen pipes bursting, or ice dams building, these problems happen every year and can cost a fortune and ruin a holiday. We decided to interview with a local roofing contractor to find out what families can do to ensure that their holiday remains stress free. In this article you'll receive tips from professionals that have been proven to work.
Inspect your Roof in October
Jeremy with Roofer Franklin suggests that you have someone come out to your home around the end of October to inspect your roof. He says that autumn can bring about some damage to your roof with the heavy winds and the dry weather. By having a roofer take a look at your home in October, you're likely to be able to have them work on your home far in advance of the freezing winter, and thus creating a promising chance of not having to deal with construction while it's cold.
This also gives you a chance to ensure that any money spent on home improvement is known about a few months before Christmas, thus letting you know how much to set aside for the holidays.
This advice will help ensure that you're in good shape for Christmas and New Years parties to come! The last thing you want to deal with is buckets around the house to address a leaky roof. Be sure to have your roof inspected in advance!
Prepare for Ice Dams
A simple explanation for an ice dam is that ice forms near the base of a roof which traps snow behind it. As the snow melts, the water gets trapped behind the ice and after being left there for some time, begins to leak into your home.
Ice dams are not uncommon. In fact if you're not prepared, you're likely to have ice dams form on your roof. This brings us to the point that you need to consult with your local roofer on how you can prepare for ice dams.
Jeremy claims that his company is the most efficient when it comes to roof leak repair in Franklin TN. He says that the best way to avoid repair is to prepare. What Roofer Franklin does is they will add extensions to your roof that prevent ice dams from occurring. He says that it's important when you call a roofer in October that you ask them if your roof is going to be prepared for ice dams and the winter. Any roofer should be able to inspect and give you an accurate estimate as to weather or not your roof is prepared.
A Review of Roofer Franklin
To ensure the credibility of Jeremy and his company, Roofer Franklin, we decided to do our own research. As it turns out Roofer Franklin has positive reviews! We searched all across the internet to find what people are saying, and we're happy that we were able to get them on the interview today because as it turns out they're well known locally and very well thought of. Here's one of their reviews:
Again we're thankful that Jeremy and his team were so kind as to help us understand some of the troubles home owners face during the holidays, and help give us some insight as to what the average home owner can do to ensure a perfect Christmas.
If you have any questions for Jeremy and his team at Roofer Franklin, feel free to reach out to them over their website. If you'd like to hear about more that you can do to ensure a perfect Christmas every year, please write us and let us know what it is you need help with!

BROOKLYN - The 21-year-old man accused of shooting two people, including a 13-year-old boy, last month in Flatbush appeared in court today.
Kareem Potomont is accused of attempted second-degree murder. Investigators say he shot Gamma Droiville in the eye and another man in the leg.
Droiville showed up to the courthouse today with his family, and seemed to be in good spirits. He says it has been a rough couple of weeks, but he is grateful to everyone who has shown him support.
Potomont's attorney claims he is also a victim, saying he grew up around violence and witnessed murder himself. She says he feels bad for Droiville and what the teen has gone through.
Potomont has pleaded not guilty. He is being held on bail and will return to court July 9.

Evans fire chief resigns, new chief takes reins in small ceremony
August 27, 2014
On Monday, Evans Fire District firefighters in formal dress lined the back of the City Council Chambers at the Evans Community Complex as former Fire Chief Warren Jones officially handed over the reins to the district's new chief, Ron Pristera.
Jones, who served as the district's chief for eight years, had plenty of praise for all involved in the district's formation in 2011, and thanked all who worked to make the district a reality.
"When I look back over my entire career, the best and most exciting experience I had was the formation of the fire district," Jones said. "It took a lot of people to put together."
When the district was formed, Jones said three words were decided upon to grace the side of the fire engines: dedication, compassion and excellence.
"Every good thing is based on good relationships," he said. "We did a lot of good policy work with tight, cohesive groups, and I'm proud of that."
Jones also heaped praise on all of his employees during his tenure.
"I want to thank all of the district's officers and firefighters," he said. "You're all top-notch, and many of you aren't yet at the height of your ascending careers. Thank you for making my life wonderful for the past eight years. I also want to express my tremendous gratitude to all those who served as volunteer firefighters during my time."
Jones said he's been in fire service his entire adult life and, while he'll continue to serve Evans as its flood recovery manager, he said it's a little tough stepping down.
"When I came, many of the volunteer firefighters were not much older than teenagers," Jones said. "It's really amazing how much people grow. It's been my privilege to serve the district and its citizens."
Pristera, who also spoke at the ceremony, was formerly the fire chief and emergency manager in Ashtabula, Ohio. Over his 25 years in public safety, he's worked as a firefighter, EMT, paramedic, fire and EMS instructor, instructor trainer and EMS coordinator.
Pristera said Tuesday he's already busy learning the ropes of his new position and getting to know all parties involved.
"It's been a whirlwind," Pristera said. "The show of support at the badging ceremony was impressive."
Colorado has always been a place Pristera and his wife wanted to live, he said, and the promise of a more moderate climate was one of the job's enticements.
"Although I saw my first tornado yesterday," Pristera said with a laugh.
He said he's noticed an obvious sense of community at the district, and he's already made it a goal to continue that tradition.
"First I want to get my wheels underneath me," Pristera said, "but then I want to preserve those relationships. I'm looking forward to joining this community."

Excerpt from an actual conversation between my husband and I while driving:
Me: Hey, wanna try something really good?
Him: (suspiciously) What is it?
Me: A tomato!
Him: Cayla, I'm driving on the highway. I do not want to eat a tomato and have it squirt all over me right now.
Me: But these ones are really tiny. And so sweet. Just try one. (I then stuff one in his mouth)
Him: Hey! Those are pretty good! Do you have any more?
Do I! Tomato season is officially off and running and if you haven't ever eaten a tomato straight off the vine (and by that I do not mean the ones you find in the grocery store) then you haven't really tasted a tomato.
I take advantage of this summertime taste sensation by doing as little to the tomatoes as possible when using them in a recipe, such as this awesome little dish. It is delicious even if you use store-bought tomatoes, but SO MUCH MORE delicious if you can get your hands on some freshly picked little sweeties.
Tomato, Cucumber, and Couscous Salad:
1 cup grape/cherry tomatoes cut in half. (PS: don't toss the seeds & the liquid; they have TONS of vitamin C)
1 cup cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup feta cheese, broken into small bits
2/3 cup couscous (you can also use orzo, quinoa, or any other tiny grain in this recipe)
1 cup water
1 cup chopped arugula
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
s & p to taste
1. Bring water to a boil in a small sauce pan. Add the couscous, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2. While the couscous is cooking, chop all the veggies and herbs and place in a large bowl. Cover and put in the fridge.
3. Let the couscous cool to almost room temperature (I sometimes put it in the fridge to help it along). Keep mixing it up to release the heat.
4. Add the cooled couscous to the veggies along with the cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well. Let rest for a couple minutes and then taste. The cheese is pretty salty so you want to let the flavours come together a bit before adding salt and pepper.
5. Cover and keep in the fridge until it is ready to serve.
Sara, I too eat a lot of quinoa. That's why I made this one with couscous. You know, mix it up a bit. You could also go crazy and make it with orzo or (dare I say it) wheatberries!
Love this salad… I do the same sort of thing but trade the couscous with quinoa. Good god I eat a lot of quinoa….
I have been making couscous salads with grape tomatoes and I love that it is so quick to make. Add some tinned garbanzo beans for some extra protein.

Skip to comments.Gingrich is a hero for arguing for ethical capitalism
Posted on 01/13/2012 6:14:08 PM PST by VinL
Furthermore, making a profit is only one component of owning a business. Whatever happened to the idea that you are responsible for your workers and to the larger community? Too often, people feel like just pawns in a game of ever increasing largesse for the top dogs. The big shots are always the winners often getting payouts in the millions when their companies fail and the losers are left to figure out how to eat or buy clothes for their children. (A new study found that $100 million golden parachutes have become commonplace for failed CEOs).
Romneys class envy claim is predicated on a lie we often here from the uber-rich and their defenders: the highest goal and achievement for Americans is to be wealthy, when all most people want is to be able to provide a decent lives for their families
The unlikely hero in this tale has been Newt Gingrich, who has been making the most coherent argument for ethical capitalism. Says Gingrich, what we want is, a free enterprise system that is honest. . . fair to everyone and gives everyone an equal opportunity to pursue happiness. Criticizing Romneys brand of free enterprise, (Newt)said, Its not fine if the person who is rich manipulates the system, gets away with all the cash and leaves behind the human beings.
Be still my heart.
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
Long forgotten and buried. And you'll find defenders of the cemetery for such quaint ideas telling you that an enterprise owes anything only to the nameless shareholders. Those shareholders all too often turn out to be Wall Street speculators interested in nothing more than a few cent rise in the share price. I've experienced such a few years ago, a vulture investment company that accumulated something like 3% of the stock of a company, becoming a fifth or seventh largest shareholder, which gave it a right to effectively blackmail the management.
Too often, people feel like just pawns in a game of ever increasing largesse for the top dogs. The big shots are always the winners often getting payouts in the millions when their companies fail and the losers are left to figure out how to eat or buy clothes for their children.
Chuck, doesn't matter who said it- it's the truth! TARP, the Fed giving the banks trilions of free money to play the carrytrade— all of this caused inflation, devaluation of our dollars, higher energy costs, food costs- all taxes on the taxpayers. Is that capitalism? Is that demoracy?
Newt should be ashamed of himself! I'm sick of this garbage from liars and frauds like newt and perry.
A book written by one those damned fools who liked to discuss ethical capitalism:
"An introduction to economic thinking which holds that the vital things in life are those beyond supply and demand, written by the chief architect of Germany's post-war social market economy. A Humane Economy offers an understandable and compelling explanation of how economies operate. A sweeping and brilliant exposition of market mechanics and moral philosophy, Röpke's masterwork cuts through the jargon and statistics that make most economic writing so obscure and confusing. Over and over, the great Swiss economist stresses one simple point: You cannot separate economic principles from human behavior."
Amazingly enough, it is offered by the old conservative outfit ISI, and its author used to be featured at National Review. I guess they didn't have the wisdom of Rush.
Here's another bit of info on Roepke from The Future of Freedom Foundation, who also appear unaware of how benighted this man was in thinking that ethics and economics had anything in common:
This is because both economic liberty and political liberty are founded on rights, and the rights are given to us by God.
Coming from God, our rights necessarily derive from absolute morality.
Therefore, true liberty is inseparable from morality.
Well, at least Newt owned up to that faux pas and apologized for it.
Romney has yet to apologize for Romneycare.
And Romney has yet to apologize for calling himself a conservative, something he has never been.
"Youre just trying to use your religious mumbo-jumbo to steal my wallet"
Therefore if your assumed premise is false, and stealing is not my motive, your argument collapses.
If these losers want to feed their children, let them go start their own business instead of sucking like leeches on the profit margins of the owners and shareholders!!
Surely you understand the difference between a corporation in a private sector engaging in these completely normal and necessary economic activities and those same activities being conducted by the GOVERNMENT.
The fact that Obama did these exact same things when the government took over, say, General Motors, simply proves that:
(1) Even he is not stupid enough to think that corporations actually exist to NOT make a profit.
(2) That the type of economic activity engaged in by Bain is absolutely necessary to keep, or try to keep, companies afloat, and
(3) That Obama is a SOCIALIST or worse. He is more than willing to use GOVERNMENT to take over the NECESSARY economic activities of the private sector.
Maybe it's because you have a different set of priorities. I've had the opportunity to work with and for some incredibly successful people. They worked long hours. They took big risks. They had vision that they put into place.
I don't want to denigrate their success because of envy. I had pretty much the same opportunity and didn't go as far because I made other choices.
Gingrich did not create the video. You need to get up to speed. The video was created by PAC and no candidate is allowed to converse or control the content. Wake up!
Yes. Just like there was something uncompassionate about conservativism, such that it needed to be qualified by the word "compassionate." NOT.
As I posted upthread, anytime a feeling word is used to qualify a system of thought, the word has one use: to be exploited by Lefties.
Well I sure hope you listen to Rand, Tovarishch Yashcheritsky, he sounds very wise.
And you just never know when the dumb schmucks might be sneaking up with nefarious plots in their evil little minds. I find that a hat made out of thin metal foil provides excellent protection against their plotting. I recommend that you wear one, too.
To separate ethics from capitalism is to divide our Constitution into pieces.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Newt just following Perry's lead on this topic?
And don't you think that professional Capitalists should held to certain professional ethical standards?
What is wrong with that?
We have enough laws on the books to insure public safety in the products produced and labor laws to make sure no one is treated badly.
This is not about safety or labor laws. This is about corporate piracy and legal loopholes unavailable to most non-professional investors.
Indeed. Capitalism is but a tool, and it is the human user that is either ethical or unethical.
It is ethical human beings that Newt is seeking, but he has misframed his argument, and he is smart enough to know better, and, in fact, he does know better.
So, why is Newt misframing this argument and attacking one of the primary tools that drives the freedom of America, when he knows that it is the corruption of man that is driving our fall?
I find this highly problematic.
Gingrich is right.
To separate ethics from capitalism is to divide our Constitution into pieces.
LOL, actually I agree with you guys, I'm just jerking your chains while trying to spoof the anarcho-libertarian strain that seems to be present on FR to some degree.
Why does no one seem concerned that Powers is leaping to Newts anti-capitalist defense here?
That should be a huge red (and I do mean RED) flag, not something to post smug go Newt smilies over.
Jag, first off, she's right- I don't care what her ideolgy is. And second, I don't give a damn about the socialist Republicans- like record spending compassionate conservative George Bush nanny state expenditures, or increase the debt Boehner and McConnell, or reach across the aisle McCain- or Republican Colin Powell- "Americans want more government!".
When are some going to realize that while the Dems are unabashed socialists, the Establishment GOP are incremental socialists. A distinctin without a difference. That's what Newt is telling you, but some just won't hear his argument.
Let's get the history right.
"Compassionate conservatism" was a mistake not because of the word "compassionate," but because its authors were not conservative.
Think people, think!
"Burnhams Suicide of the West"
Actually I have that one. I never did get a copy of his Managerial Revolution, although it's a theme that interests me greatly. I've read enough about it that I have a good idea of his theory and it sounds valid to me.
You are wrong. You have witnessed Godless people, and that doesn't have one damned thing to do with capitalism.
Pure bullshit.
You put ANYTHING in front of Capitalism, and it isn't Capitalism.
Go ahead. flame away. I've maintained for at least 20 years, since I've become what I consider to be politically aware that corporations are now bigger than governments. And as such, the march towards 21st century feudalism would like nothing more than to see a one world pay scale. The only thing that stands in the way.... the American middle class. Let's move manufacturing off shore. Then let's print more money to dilute the lifes' savings of those who remember. This is not how I envisioned my "golden" years.
You do realize you are describing Romney to a tee, don't you?
He didn't start his own businesses, but he made his fortune buying up other people's businesses and then sucking like a leech on the profit margins of the companies he looted before sending them into bankruptcy.
Romney's children never went hungry. I guess the system works.
I could also see hwo convenient this could be. Wouldn't it be so very easy for Gingrich to do the above, all the while knowing that the PAC will not comply?
IOW, I'm going to wait to see what happens here before I give Newt a brownie button for this one.
What I would like is an answer from the critics of Gingrich to the following questions:
What market forces are exhibited when looting a company?
How is it capitalism when you loot the pension funds of a company, and cause the taxpayers to pick up the costs of those pensions?
How is it capitalism when you demand kickbacks and buy-ins from state and local governments to keep the business from folding, while you are looting it?
How is it capitalism when you take the cash out of a company, then fire the workers, and force the rest of the taxpayers to fund their unemployment checks?
How is it capitalism when you deliberately loot the company and force it into bankruptcy, thereby stiffing all of the vendors and suppliers to take 5 or 10 cents on the dollar, plus court costs, for services and materials already provided to the company?
How is Romney's corporate raiding different from the actions of the robber barons of the 19th century?
How is any of that "capitalism"?
Capitalism does not exist in a vacuum.
Our system is made for a moral people, according to John Adams, and wholly unsuitable for any other.
The people in the DC orbit are becoming filthy rich over the last 20 years, while we lose more of our wealth and our freedoms—how is that happening? Capitalism?
When the government is picking winners and losers, how is that "capitalism"?
Gingrich was right to go after Romney and make Romney defend his absurd claims that he was some kind of captain of industry.
Besides, the Dems were ready to unleash the same salvo, plus more, if Romney became the nominee.If anything, Gingrich did Romney a favor. Let's see the golden haired boy defend his cliams like everyone else has to. He's gotten away scott free until now.
South Carolina is only the third primary, and I for one am sick of the poundits telling me I have to line up behind the "clear winner" after the results of one open caucus and one open primary.
Nuts to them.
If you agree that Gingrich is right about ethics and the free market, you probably understand that he should be our nominee.
Newt should be ashamed of himself! Im sick of this garbage from liars and frauds like newt and perry.
How is this different from your guy, Ron Paul? Please, I'm interested, edify me.
Dibs on Kolob.
>> Purchasing Worldwide Grinding Systems for $8 mil, loading it up with debt while paying yourself $12 mil, why thats probably the Sacrament of equity extraction.
Any interested party that willingly makes itself the minority shareholder deserves whatever manipulation comes its way. But of course, this about craps, not Capitalism . The notion that value manipulation is a virtue of Capitalism in among the most absurd arguments that can be made regarding the 'free market'.
This post #128 explains the fallacy in denying the significance of ethical free enterprise.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Newt just following Perry's lead on this topic?
I think Newt took this message first- but I have to say, I applaud Perry- because in the face of this enslaught by the socialist Republican propaganda machine attempting to silence him- he's stood his ground.
Do you think xzins and I are making these arguments because we are envious of corporate pirates like Romney?????????????????
I would not trade places with him for a moment.
I don't begrudge the fact that he's rich. But I do begrudge the unethical manner in which he made his fortune.
I would say the same thing about George Soros. If I hate the ethics by which he obtained his fortune, does that make me envious?
"Sheesh, havent any of you people read Ayn Rand?"
She is a veritable God, tovarishch. Which is a problem, because Ms Rand insisted that there is no God. Well, maybe the Dollar is/was God. Maybe you can provide chapter & verse on that.
Oh no we aren't. Newt can't go there because he stuck his nose in the public trough just like Santorum did making millions after they left office. No this is an attack on private equity and how it is invested.
Gingrich started this because he didn't like the attacks on him by Romney. It's got nothing to do about crony capitalism.
Actually reason, it goes beyond mere ethics- it's fraud and malfeasance. No other way to explain the bailout and the Fed action in secretly sending trillions to European banks resulting in the devaluation of our dollar.
At least she's cute for a lib
I disagree.
Read in Luke about the parable of the good Samaritan.
There are three socio-economic systems, so to speak, represented in that parable, represented are communism/socialism (what's yours is mine) (i.e., the robbers who beat up the Samaritan), godless Capitalism/individualism (what's mine is mine)(i.e., the priest and the Levite who went on the other side of the road when they saw the wounded, half-dead man), and the Christian (the good Samaritan) way to behave (what's mine is yours).
FWIW, Newt's my choice in this race, but the rhetoric concerning Capitalism is out of control nearly on all fronts.
I agree, Power's support for 'ethical capitalism' should definitely raise flags. Capitalism isn't the problem, it's fascism and unethical regulations that deserve our attention.
Forget about her involvement with Weiner...
Forgot about her involvement with Weiner...
If these losers want to feed their children, let them go start their own business instead of sucking like leeches on the profit margins of the owners and shareholders!!
Right. The banks and multi-nationals get trillions of free money whenever they go broke-— and the "losers with children" can't even get a loan from the corrupt bankers to get on their feet.
That's American capitalism, huh?
Powers is a diehard liberal. She's rooting for Gingrich. Was does that tell you?
Yep. The kind of greed (not to mention, corruption) that prompts a Washington insider to accept a million and a half bucks from Freddie Mac (taxpayers) for...for what exactly again? A million and a half bucks of yours and everybody's money stolen from you as part of a scheme participated in by Newt. Nope. No greed there. Just a Tiffani's card for the little Mrs. in exchange for a "history" lesson or two is all.
Until now I liked everything about Perry. This socialist nonsense drives me up a wall. Bain may have done well, or badly, when Romney was in charge but if he had broken the law he would have been indicted by now. If people are upset about him leveraging the businesses he was running then why aren't we talking about the banks or purchasers of the bonds?
Your quoting from Bioshock ?
Ahh... Sir you do remember what the moral point of story in that game was right?
Heck its one of the reasons why I like Bioshock 2 so much, in that one it was pure socialisms turn to be roasted for giving in to fanaticism. If you really believe what Andrew Ryan was saying in that game then what happened to his city must be your idea of paradise.
So, why is Newt misframing this argument and attacking one of the primary tools that drives the freedom of America, when he knows that it is the corruption of man that is driving our fall?
Bailing out the rich by the DC/WallSt oligarchy drives American fredom? Huh, who knew?
I suspected as much after your third post. Well done.
The problem is that just when you think your satire is too extreme, the target you're mocking outdoes you. "I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up".

The Detroit Pistons are certainly a team in transition, but in the weak bottom half of the NBA Eastern Conference, that transition may not take long.
Drafting Brandon Knight and hiring Lawrence Frank were an excellent start, but there's still plenty more work to do.
A real transition for the Pistons will require somewhat of a change in philosophy from Dumars.
Dumars' fierce loyalty to his players has endeared him to his veterans and helped to make him one of the more well-respected general managers in the NBA, but it's also led him to his current position, sitting on a roster littered with unhappy, overpaid, and (nearly) untradeable assets.
Yet however motley his crew may be, there are still assets on this team.
The key for Dumars will be to sort out the differences in actual and projected value of each of his assets. No more forcing square pegs into round holes. The Pistons have to build a real team.
Dumars needs to realistically evaluate what level of production he can expect from his veterans. In some cases, they may be able to help the team. In other cases, they may not. These truths certainly won't go down easy for Dumars, but accepting them is the only way to move his team forward (and keep his job).
So which of Dumars' assets really do have any value?
And how can he maximize that value to build the best team in Detroit?

I have a bump slightly to the right of my lip. It just feels swelled, but it doesn't hurt at all unless I push on it some. Today I was looking in the mirror and stretched my lip so it looked tighter and I noticed that to the right of that bump, there are smooth white patchs. They're not big patches, they kind of just look like little circles dotting my lip.
None of it burns or itches or anything. I noticed the bump quite some time ago, but I figured I just bumped my lip or something and didn't worry about it. But now that I see the white.. things, I'm totally scared.
Please someone help. I'm so scared and I don't even have a clue what it would be. I don't know anything about medical stuff or anything. Could someone explain what this could be? I can attempt to take pictures tommrow, if I get batteries for my camera.
Please help. I'm desperate.

One of Hillary Clinton's top priorities as president would be to use sanctions to pressure North Korea to negotiate limits on its nuclear program, according to Clinton's top foreign policy adviser. The strategy would mimic the Obama administration's approach to Iran.
Jake Sullivan, the head of the Clinton campaign's foreign policy advisory team, was one of two officials who began secret negotiations with Iran in 2012 that eventually resulted in the nuclear agreement that Iran struck last summer with six world powers. He told an audience Monday evening at the Asia Society in New York that Clinton is planning a similar strategy to deal with North Korea's nuclear program.
"This is a paramount security challenge of the United States. It will have to be right at the top of the agenda for the next president to deal with," he said. "It's hard for me to underscore how important it is that we place urgency behind this."

The time has come for me to play my Woman Card.
A male Republican politician in my state of Wisconsin has introduced a "bathroom bill" like the one passed in North Carolina, which requires transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they were assigned at birth.
He says it's to "protect women and children."
Oh, knight in shining armor, thank you for trying to protect me and my fellow women. But I fear you misunderstand the real issues women have in restrooms.
Here are a few laws you might propose instead to help us out:
- Ban men from leaving the toilet seat up, so we don't fall in.
- Mandate that public restrooms never run out of toilet paper, so we're not left stranded in stalls, fishing through our purses on the off chance we'll find some tissues.
What do Genghis Kahn, William the Conqueror, and Geronimo all have in common? Mighty warriors, they died not in battle, but by falling off horses. The list of historical notables who got killed on horseback includes kings, queens, prime ministers, Pope Urban VI and Emperor Theodosius of Rome.
I've long insisted that my plan was to die in a fall from a horse at age 88 -- suitably remote as to make it a joke. A smug, stupid joke. I've also argued -- as friends' broken shoulders and fractured pelvises accumulated -- that riding bicycles in traffic is a damn fool thing for mature citizens to do.
Challenged, I'd say I never rode horses in traffic or on pavement. One virtue of our Arkansas farm is that it's river bottomland. There's not a rock on the place. Besides, I hadn't been dumped in 15 years.
Ohio and Florida. Florida and Ohio. What a pair of election-year divas, always preening for the pundits. Enough. There are other comely swing states on the stage.
Let's gawk at North Carolina.
If Donald Trump drags down Republicans across the board, this is one of the places where they'll flail. Its Republican governor, nearing the end of a tumultuous first term, is in trouble. One of the state's two Republican senators is facing a tougher re-election battle than was predicted just months ago. Democrats are circling. Make that drooling.
Although purple, North Carolina turned deceptively red over the last few years, and Republican lawmakers have behaved with a potentially suicidal swagger. In the process they've managed to enrage corporate America, exposing a newly profound tension in the GOP between its business-minded wing and the religious right.
Some of the most interesting crosswinds of American politics blow through this state.
A couple of months ago, I looked through the data on goods being shipped across the world's oceans and reached the conclusion that the various indexes were signaling bad news for the global economy. A reader suggested taking a similar look at what's happening on the highways of North America, particularly with regard to demand for trucks used to haul goods around the country. The numbers suggest hauliers in the world's biggest economy aren't exactly bursting with optimism about the outlook.
The website truckinginfo.com says U.S. fleet operators have "no additional need for capacity, and that "the market may not have bottomed out yet as activity is expected to remain soft during the slower summer order season."
Orders for Class 8 trucks -- vehicles with gross weight ratings exceeding 33,000 pounds (15,000 kilograms) -- slumped to their lowest level in six years in April, after dropping 16 percent in the month and by 39 percent in the past year. Operators ordered just 13,500 new vehicles last month, down from a peak of almost 46,000 in October 2014.
The Supreme Court's do-over on the question of religious exemptions from the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive care mandate is bizarre, but it reflects the weirdness of an eight-justice court.
Unable to resolve the question, but unwilling to leave a patchwork of different results in different circuits, the justices told various appeals courts to try again. Most likely, the lower courts will split again, and the issue will come back to the Supreme Court. By then, there might be nine justices to decide it.
The writing was on the wall for a weird result. After oral arguments, the justices tried to force a compromise by telling lawyers for the government and the religious groups seeking the exemption to engage in further briefing. The court's goal was to produce a compromise, but when the briefs came in, there was none to be had.
Donald Trump's opponents in the primaries were right to call him a con artist, a narcissist and a pathological liar. Just ask "John Miller."
That's one of the names Trump used with journalists to burnish his status as a bold-faced Manhattan celebrity; he also called himself "John Barron." Both personae were supposedly publicists who just wanted to explain what a wonderful guy Mr. Trump was and how beautiful women seemed unable to resist his charms.
Last week, The Washington Post ran a story about the "Miller" and "Barron" ruses, which took place years ago, and posted a 1991 recording of "Miller" explaining why Trump was dumping Marla Maples. "He's coming out of a marriage, and he's starting to do tremendously well financially," the imaginary publicist says to a reporter from People magazine. "Actresses just call to see if they can go out with him and things." Madonna is ostentatiously name-dropped as someone who "wanted to go out with him."
Here's the most important legal principle that you've probably never heard of: If a regulation issued by a government agency turns out to be ambiguous, the agency, not the court, gets to resolve the ambiguity. It's called the Auer principle, after the 1977 Supreme Court decision that established it. (This is different from Chevron deference, which gives agencies deference in interpreting statutes.)
For the past five years, the Auer principle has been under sustained assault from the conservative justices, who have argued that it is a violation of the separation of powers and an unacceptable aggrandizement of executive authority. Few people have noticed, but on Monday the court made it clear that Auer is going to be with us for the long time. For the next president -- whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump -- there's a big reason to celebrate. The rest of us should be celebrating along with them.
I started gasping for air. The doctor stared at me uncomfortably, offered water and then slipped out of the room.
I was alone.
I could feel the beginning of an anxiety attack coming on because the doctor had just informed me that I might have pneumonia. I would never find out if her suspicions were correct because the only way to check is to perform an X-ray, an action that my Medicaid insurance would only cover if I were shipped to the hospital in an ambulance.
I blamed myself. I should've gone to the doctor earlier; I should've accepted the out-of-pocket costs from the campus health center; I should've taken out more loans to cover these costs. Overwhelmed, my mind and body could only respond with an anxiety attack.
Now, a year later, I have left that sense of helplessness behind on another university campus. As a transfer to Georgetown University, I left behind my old school that did not provide a support network for first-generation college students. Now on a new campus, I still face problems paying health insurance bills by myself.
Hillary Clinton's campaign website lists 31 issues, in alphabetical order from "Alzheimer's" to "Workforce and Skills," for which she has explicit policies. "Taxes" with a "T" is not one.
Yet there's little question about what direction Clinton has in mind for her overall tax policy. After describing her idea to make college more affordable, for instance, she adds the following: "This plan will cost around $350 billion over 10 years -- and will be fully paid for by limiting certain tax expenditures for high-income taxpayers."
The American economy of the past four decades has been sufficiently varied to merit multiple, conflicting descriptions, from "hollowed out" to "innovative." But the general direction in which economic gains have flowed over that period is indisputable: upward.
