...agree. For example, Cantor notes that state unemployment burdens are expected to double from $30 billion in 2009 to more than $60 billion in 2012, resulting in what he says will be a doubling of business taxes from $250 to $500 per worker per year by 2012. "Eric's correct, in my opinion, to place an emphasis on trying to make our nation more competitive and prop up the private market - a place which has been kind of under assault the last year or so," says John Feehery, a GOP strategist and former adviser to House Speaker Dennis Hastert...
...estimates are correct (and the brain break crowd at Kirkland dining hall comprises a sufficient sample of the Harvard student body), approximately 60% of you are saying to yourself, “Wait, Harvard has a Homecoming?” Yes we do, and yes, it was this past weekend. Organized by the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA), Homecoming was a complete failure. There were no student-centered events, no flyers, not even a banner at the game that heralded its significance.

I was even more surprised when I found out that some of the most popular instructors of NFP--known in secular circles as the Fertility Awareness Method--are non-Catholics who praise it as a means of avoiding both ingesting chemicals and excreting them into...
...problem that is in dire need of a suture. Simply cutting the pay of executives does little to address the systemic problems that helped give rise to the financial crisis. The Obama administration now has a unique opportunity to capitalize on populist discontent with policies that correct the lax regulatory regime that helped enable the financial meltdown. Real change to the current system, which incentivizes unnecessary risk-taking and corporate irresponsibility, cannot be replaced with simply cutting executive pay. The recent cuts are, in reality, a slap on the wrist for executives who will still enjoy multi-million-dollar...
