Outsourcing the Wrong Jobs - Room for Debate
Governments often perversely outsource jobs that are hard to monitor, yet keepPolitics says privatize. Business says please do. No one is watching the store.My great uncle John spent the second half of his long career in government service trying to convince contractors that they would make enough money following the rules. He found it a constant effort.

Who Is a Jew? Court Ruling in Britain Raises Question
LONDON — The questions before the judges in Courtroom No. 1 of Britain’s Supreme Court were as ancient and as complex as Judaism itself.If there were not at least two sides to things there would be no reason to rule on them.I do not get to say. I do have an opinion:In general religion has no standing in the state and the state has no standing in religion. Real separation is a good rule.Britain deeply and traditionally involved with religion. The civil courts have standing in this case to the extent that the school accepts funds from the state. If the school wishes to not follow the rulings of the courts it must refuse the public monies.

We Are the Mainstream - Room for Debate
The majority of the American people are on the side of the Tea Party Patriots when we say to our government: “stop overspending.”I would suggest that she examine her "facts". If the tea party survives the next election I will be very surprised. The statistics I read do not agree with her. I have been very surprised before.10% is not a mainstream. Gold Is a Proven Asset - Room for Debate
There is no need for the government to hoard gold as backing for currency; gold itself should be the currency that circulates.Ron Paul is divorced from reality.http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/03/this-mornings-grim-eurothought/http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2011/08/second-time-farcehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%BCning,_Heinrichhttp://www.amazon.com/Golden-Fetters-Depression-1919-1939-Development/dp/0195101138http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14392943
