Financial type things

Post by Dan H »

Intimated it a bit in one of the other threads, but this merits it's own.

Not in the mood to add depression (or more of it, anyways) to my daily grind with those articles :P I'll pass.

"articles" isn't the right descriptor. More of opinion pieces.

Well-informed opinion, in my opinion, heh. We certainly cannot continue deficit spending without severe repercussion sat some point. That's just mathematics.

Agreed, Dan. But that second article on inflation was much less informed and more opinion.

No kidding.

Bump for interesting points.

I'm instinctively opposed to mandating a $15/hour as a minimum wage, but if it came with a reduction in taxes needed to pay for the things he mentions, I think it might work. I don't think either side of the aisle would go for it, though. No way the left would go for reducing handouts, and no way the right would increase labor costs for big business - that's a big part of the reason IMO why the GOP is for amnesty, to increase the labor pool and drive down the costs of employment.
