      Does IMF Stand for Impressive Macroeconomic Flexibility?
      So the IMF is holding a meeting on rethinking macroeconomic policy (I was invited but couldn’t make the timing work.) And the Fund’s chief economist has already made it clear that he’s open to some serious revision of the prevailing paradigm.
      I have no idea what is happening in the economy.
      Things are not good.  They are not getting better.

      TARP Needs a New Watchdog as Neil Barofsky Steps Down
      “TARP Needs a New Watchdog as Neil Barofsky Steps Down - http://nyti.ms/gklm5d >A job for David Hoffman” 

      "Government rules for filling vacancies in executive agencies like Mr. Barofsky’s give Mr. Obama three choices. If the president does nothing, Ms. Romero will take over temporarily as acting head. The president can also name someone who has already been appointed to another executive agency position and has therefore received the Senate’s consent.
      Finally, Mr. Obama could appoint someone else from within Sigtarp."

      Whines and special pleading.  
      Sugar is toxic. 
      I try to live without it.  I am far from pure.  
      I would like to see the results of a simple substitution of glucose for sucrose.  
      The bread seems to do fine without added sugar.

      AT&T is eliminating its unlimited mobile phone data plan and replacing it with capped options. The company also will allow tethering smartphones, including the iPhone, to a computer for Internet access.
      Is it just me or is anyone else having flashbacks to 1994? Psst, AT&T, I hear AOL is available. You might talk to Time Warner about it ... http://www.jrdeputyaccountant.com/2010/06/at-goes-aol-on-data-hogs.html www.jrdeputyaccountant.com
      Most Motels and libraries have wi-fi broadband. The connections are public and can be overheard. Universities will often allow signing in as a guest. They do not check the email addresses offered as I.D.  Spaminator.com is a useful null address.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipad
      This does not read like the 3G service is capped.  It is capped.
      AT&T announced Wednesday that it would start offering metered data plans for mobile device users rather than a $30 all-you-can-use monthly plan.
      For people who use less than 200 megabytes of data a month, the price of the new plan is effectively cut in half.
      The latest announcement could signal the beginning of a new arms race between mobile phone carriers. In the past, carriers tried to woo customers by offering mobile packages that were gauged by the number of voice minutes available each month.
      But as my colleague Jenna Wortham wrote last month, people are talking on mobile phones less as data usages continues to rise.
      AT&T also announced a new service that would let smartphone users tether their devices, including the iPhone, to a computer and use the phone to access the Internet as a modem. The tethering feature will cost an additional $20 a month. Apple iPhone users have long requested that service.
      The lowest-priced data option is called DataPlus and will cost $15 a month. It gives mobile phone subscribers access to 200 megabytes of data each month enough to send and receive 1,000 e-mails without attachments and an additional 150 with attachments. The plan would also offer access to 400 Web pages, the ability to post 50 photos to social Web sites and watch up to 20 minutes of streaming video through the mobile phone.
      AT&T said in a press release that 65 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use less than 200 MB of data a month on average. If DataPlus users go over the allotted 200 megabytes in a single month they will have the option to purchase an additional 200 megabytes for another $15.
      DataPro, the next step up, provides 2 gigabytes of data a month to a single phone for $25 a month. AT&T says, on average, 98 percent of its current mobile customers use less than 2 gigabytes of data each month.
      The DataPro option will allow mobile phone customers to send and receive 10,000 e-mails without attachments and 1,500 e-mails with attachments.
      In addition, users will be able to view 4,000 Web sites and post up to 500 photos online through their phone. They will also be able to watch three hours of streaming video.
      If a DataPro subscriber goes over the 2 gigabytes, they will be able to purchase an additional gigabyte for $10.
      The tethering feature is only available to the DataPro customers.
      The service changes will go into effect on June 7 with the expected release of the iPhone’s new operating system, iPhone OS4.
      Although the $30-a-month unlimited data plan will be eliminated, existing AT&T customers will have the option to be grandfathered on their existing monthly charge.
      Users of the iPad will be affected by the service changes, too. AT&T said new iPad customers would have the option to purchase a $25 monthly plan for access to 2 gigabytes of data. This will replace the $29.99 unlimited access option currently offered for the iPad."

      The DataPro plan looks to be a good deal. I am not running flash or html5 on this system.  I run Dsl over twisted pair.  The path runs about 110 megabits per second no cap.  It is not very portable.
      Netflicks by mail is always a possibility.
      I will be much more parsimonious with the links.  
      Most of them are just footnotes.

      Yes.  The highly paid must pay high taxes. They do not.

      Progressive taxation is the only way we know that pays the bills.
