The Cadillac Tax: Why Economists, but Few Others, Love It
The tax is appealing to those who want to control health care spending, but not to those who have comprehensive, high-cost health insurance plans.The Obama policy is to remove health care from employment compensation.
We will continue to have poor but they will be healthy poor.

The invasive weed, which makes wildfires more damaging, may be vulnerable to a naturally occurring soil bacteria.I wonder why the bacterium population falls off after four years. What is it consuming that limits its numbers now and why is it present where the bacterium is present now?
If the development is as presented it is wonderful.

The passivity of politicians has simply enabled mass shootings. It’s time for a new approach to gun violence.There are measures that can and should be taken.

Policy Makers Skeptical on Preventing Financial Crisis
A Federal Reserve conference highlighted the challenge of heading off events like the 2008 crisis, since they are hard to anticipate.Bankers ignorance of macroeconomics is not surprising.
They have no reason to understand the government part of the money system.
Bankers assumption the government has no part in the money system is unforgivable.
Monetary crises can be and often are understood and anticipated.
There is profit to be made in times of crisis.
It tends to take more attention and nerve than I can give it.
