My View On “As Talks Stall, New Debt Plan Offered”
Mr. Thomas,
You are missing the whole real debate. There is real leadership traits in the White House but every time the Democrats concede on spending, the Republicans stand strong against tax increases.
Leadership is not the issue...it is bad leadership and while you talk about a balanced budget, you conveniently and irresponsibly neglect increasing More
Analysis On “Noonan: Out of the Way, Please, Mr. President”
At this point I don't how this going to come out, as for the President, I already think most the voters clearly think he has done at best a poor and very costly job, and frankly see him as politician they cannot team trust. The big problem is they don't trust the Republicans or Democratic politicians in Congress to solve the deficit problem that just More
Views On “Review & Outlook: Our Friends the Pakistanis”
Paki have no friendsstanis said they are our friends and are on our side when Bush made this threat back in 2001. But are they really our friends? They lied to us for 10 years. And now the WSJ editors would like us to believe them again?
The nation calls itself an Islamic republic and openly insults non-Muslims. Even a poor Christian woman can not More

My View On “Book Excerpt: Confessions of a Surgeon”
The U.S. federal agency, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), estimates the nation's additional cost for obese people at over $165 billion per year - - - or in Washington bureaucrat 'speak' $1.65 trillion over ten years.

A Response To “Report: Some Home Prices to Bottom Out in 2009″
One thing that will hinder a recovery is the usual long term depression on the mortgage, 30 years. Back in the 1930's, the usual term was 15-20 years. So monthly debt payment relief was achieved by extended term to 30 years. The government guaranteed the extension of term, so lenders were willing. Now though, the term is 30 years. And moving it More

A Commentary On “Judge to Allow Gay Marriages in California”
Actually SCOTUS has said in at least 14 separate rulings that sex before marriage is a fundamental right (you can read Walker's Findings of Fact, all the citations are in there). Missouri, use to have a law that forbade incarcerated felons from marrying. SCOTUS ruled that marriage was a fundamental right and that this law violated that right, establishing More
My Analysis On “Central Banks Pour Dollars Into Europe”
Agree Catherine and that is what scares me. We are trying to buy time with liquidity to solve a solvency problem. But what good will that do if there is no leadership to help solve the real problems behind that lack of solvency, i.e. that we have to tighten our belts and fix the distortions that developed while we were still on the spending binge--and More
