Boehner: ‘A Lot’ Of Republicans Want To Force Default, Create ‘Enough Chaos’ To Pass Balanced Budget Amendment | ThinkProgress

It seems to be a strategy of the GOP, but it is an immoral one! The ethics of political tactics have hit a new low! One watches the Republican party, referred to as the GOP and one thinks of with sadness of how far the political process has arrived at the gutter!

This is not America, it's a zoo manufactured by a mistaken attitudes of crazy people like Palin of Alaska and who knows what depressed minds are out there plotting horrible futures for America. It is a war of a group of activist right winged politicians towards the plight of less fortunate people.

It makes Rupert Murdoch seem angelic in comparison, except that the names of the right wing Americans involved are so very forgettable. They are to be denied power because they abuse it.

What happens in America affects us all, and when we see the emptiness of the political debate going on there, we can only hope it does not destroy the rest of the world because it really is destructive of America.

Pissed-off Whole Foods employee writes tremendous resignation letter - Food on Shine

This letter of resignation is very helpful to Whole Foods. The guy should be rehired, given a promotion and placed in a position where he can influence operational policies for the good of the company.

Give your critical and thinking person a promotion and responsibility!

How The Government Screws Over Savers

The government is subsidising the housing industry excessively because it is seen as a job creator.

Unfortunately, it is the one sector that should pay it's way and if it can't the rest of the economy suffers. If the market has any role at all it is in seeing that the core housing sector can be self sustaining without government support in the form of interest tax rebates, low interest rates and spending above a sustainable rate linked to migration and demographics.

What Bush did was make the 1980s Texas mistake for the whole country encouraging land speculation and excessive growth in the housing sector. That pushed up housing prices and has as we are seeing reduced overall housing and industrial growth. It was a fool hardy policy and unsustainable.

The danger is that some idiots may take the situation to a stage beyond repair. If taxes don't rise then interest rates will.... My prediction!

Dan Loeb Blasts Obama's Leadership In Second Quarter Investor Letter

US taxes need adjustment and more targeting of subsidised interests who don't need subsidies. Suppose America were to withdraw the interest subsidy on mortgages?

Obama! Well, perhaps one has to redefine leadership to include making choices that don't continue business as usual. President Obama leads in a very different way from Bush in that he asks people to consider Americans first, and not the profit margin.

Investors have a habit of migrating their money to places like China.

Had Bush been less keen to push forward a political agenda that really divided the rich from the poor, we / the world would not be in such a mess! If it's the blame game then look to past leadership!

The Norwegian Killer was Member of Secret Right Wing Organisation(s) with Ties to the UK and Europe

A new Hitler aspirant with racialist goals. Very sad development which hastens perceptions of a decline of democratic values across the globe. Creates so much misunderstanding and hatred worldwide and achieves very negative goals. Big concern is secret groups with a right wing or extremist  leaning determined to force negative change now the world is inching toward greater and greater financial and economic chaos!

The Designers of the American Constitution Were Mistaken. America is not so great!

See how the Americans destroy what little they have in the way of cooperation and good will. If it's not guns in the streets is chaos in governance. Better to choose a different model from America. It's not really so good there because those well off are so greedy?

The Border's Story! My favourite book stores on a financial sand bar!

No, I won't be going digital, and it's because Borders was a positive social setting with coffee and a chance to meet readers! 

It's sad to see a housing crisis spawn a financial crisis and a book business crisis because Washington sleeps merrily away in another world! If are books are the basis of our democracy we are in deep lulu .... because I don't see any gun shops going out of business!

Phone hacking: prevent others having News Corp's influence, Cable says | Media | guardian.co.uk

The mystery to me is why Cable was treated in such a bad way! He seems to be the only one seeing the forest from the trees. Would that Cameron was so well informed or placed!

Do you read a Murdoch paper? Why? Well, the odds are that your views are a bit Murdoch like! And, maybe increasingly so over time, which would explain so much within a group behavioural psychology or sociology framework.

Do you have a personal core or are you just a fob 'fact of business', a statistical data point in a world of addictive allegiances!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
