An easy way to bailout the ailing auto industry (and America in general) would be to institute a single-payer healthcare system.  GM spends about 5.6 billion dollars a year on healthcare alone.  That $5.6 billion could be spent on retooling and innovating.  I’m just saying.

At this rate not only will my 401k never reach 401k, it looks to be heading towards $4.01.
That’s not really much of an exaggeration either.  Since the beginning of the year I have a personal rate of return of -40%, effectively wiping out every contribution that has been made to it in the last 2.5 [...]

At this rate, my 401k will never reach 401k.

I was pondering the bailout bill today and realized that I have an inherent conflict of interest in the matter and therefore won’t be commenting much.

I’m not, shall we say, all that enthusiastic about my job.� I’ve been off since June 26th and I have to go back to work tomorrow.
Ick.

I’ve only got 13 hours of tire building to go.
I think I can, I think I can.

In this day and age of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, I think most reasonable people can agree that raising the minimum wage was a good idea. I think $5.15 an hour is pathetic. At that rate and 40 hours per week, if you worked all 52 weeks per [...]
