No Mortgage Lenders in Jail, but a Borrower Lands There
The government did send someone to prison for actions related to the subprime mess. But not who you’d expect.This is a case of a prosecutorial team gone fishing.Mr. Engle was the explanation of time and money spent to no real purpose.

When I commuted by bicycle in the mid sixties in mid-town I was alone. By the early seventies there were a few others.Parking is always a problem.There are now bike lanes and they begin to be used.Good bread is less of a problem than it was. -
Opening the Door to Higher Sales Taxes - Room for Debate
Once governors and state legislators realize that consumers have no easy way of escaping, it is a given that higher tax rates will be forthcoming.The real argument against sales taxes is that they are very regressive. -

Bring Back Poppy
George H.W. Bush, who may be our most underrated president, believed in the kind of balanced conservatism that is lacking in today’s politics.
He did not get a second term.
Thomas Friedman indulges himself with fiction. Sad but not surprising.

"A spectacular increase during the high-tax, strong-union postwar generation; fitful improvement since, with the only sustained rise during the Clinton years. That’s the story; it’s amazing how many people don’t know it.

More Than Just an Oil Spill
Schrod, what makes you think the oil spilling into the ocean would be any cheaper than oil coming out of Saudi Arabia? What makes you think it would pour into American gas tanks? This oil is BP's property and BP would sell it at the highest possible price to anybody who'd buy it. What's even more reprehensible is that this oil cost the lives of eleven Americans. Are their lives too high a price for "cheap" oil? I think so.
The data on damage from the Deep Water Horizon spill is involved in the lawsuits and is not published. The tourist beaches are open and busy. The fishermen are hurting. The dead are forgotten.
