The Arab-Israeli conflict resolution techniques has been going on for over 40 years. It seems to me that past attempts to solve this conflict have failed and that we need to try a new approach. The solution to the conflict does not lie in armed conflict or for that matter in impotent political resolutions . It lies with the people and their recognition of each other's right to exist and their willingness to More
For the sake of my friends remaining in the United States, I really wish that fun things to do with friends were improving, that unemployment was declining, and that the economy was picking up steam. But I talk to people in the US nearly every day, and I know this is not the truth. Not only is it not the truth, but things seem to be getting worse and there is no letup in sight. As many readers have posted, one More
Blinder is shilling for the Administration. To create jobs, reduce the burdens on the private sector. How about a cut in the corporate tax rate? How about repealing ObamaCare? How about reducing discretionary spending, and reining in entitlements for those under 55? How about making it easier to start and stay in business? How about cutting oppressive EPA regulations? How about encouraging oil and gas production More
Only half of the population pays taxes. Many get refunds without having contributed a dime. If a health care mandate is passed, I have no doubt, that only 50% will be paying and the other 50% will receive vouchers or something like that. Why not remove the mandate that requires Hospitals to treat anyone that walks through the door. Then, if you don't show you can pay for the outplacement services, you simply More

He has his!!!!
What a great quote. I always remember me thought this but never heard it quoted.
I remember at least ten years ago when Bershire was disputing it's tax bill. I am sure it happened more than once. I remember readin in the WSJ way back in the finance section. Buffett was fighting a $ 70 million tax bill from the IRS. I was looking at Berkshire for an investment and remember it clearly. At the time More
Maybe have a little more of an open mind. Did the assessment include those of the folks you work with? The Center for Creative Leadership uses the MBTI (along with other assessments). I have sat in on the feedback of Fortune 500 execs and Pentagon 2 star generals and up and have seen the light bulb come one was they begin to recognize how their style meshes and does not mesh with others.
One of the beauties More
I'm all for making a personality traits list of great Americans, listing their accomplishements, and working down the list by order of merit and importance. I really don't think Joe Blow should be on the list because he liked men, and invented a spoon that could be used as a fork. It doesn't inspire as much as George Washington's accomplishments.
Teach merit in the schools, teach real accomplishments. Don't More
Personally, I am extremely saddened for the UBS employees who have made sacrifices every day to keep their expenses low and to go the extra mile the extra mile for their clients. Those who served me and the institution I was with certainly did just that. Calling in from vacation to make sure a check was cut, for instance. These people sacrificed time with their families on many occasions. They deserve better More
Maybe the tenure professors and college administrators and presidents should be taxed at 90% like the trial lawyers as Thomas suggested, then, maybe they will stop spilling their gutter theories into the impressionable minds of the young.
Besides, not everyone is cut out to go to College, I was a horrible college kid, I don't even party, I am just not that interested in the books. As Asian, it is pretty hard More
