Mitch Daniels To Sign Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood Into Law
your welcome for my tax money that paid part of the cost of your highways - which I will never use. But it's part of the national, social contract, and I know that everyone benefits from the shared effort. That's the basis for most social programs. But you don't know anything of the sort - you're, as you say, a 'hoosier', and evidently that means you're special, or have special knowledge or - I don't know; you should tell us.

If Trump ever dared to try to unhinge the Chinese economy, or threaten the power of middle eastern oligarchs - or try to implement any other plan based on the bonehead bravado he spouts - he would be crushed and abandoned by his peers and his friends.
F&F for the thinking..

Rick Scott Rebuffed By Florida Republicans On Anti-Union Bill
Rick Scott is going the wrong way; doing it with brazen speed, and not interested in anything that does not advance his retro humanity. He's a total no-brainer - in every way, and I have no problem rejecting him at every turn - he expects it; almost demands it, and I'm in the group eager to comply.

Trump Once Proposed Tax On Wealthy To Plug Deficit
Trump Once Proposed Tax On Wealthy To Plug Deficit: "'I would tax people of wealth -- of great wealth, people over $10 million, by 14.25 percent. This tax would raise approximately $5.7 trillion, which happens to be our national debt. We would now save $200 billion a year in interest costs, which would go toward lowering taxes for everybody and particularly the working middle class; getting rid of the estate tax and saving Social Security. The economy would boom. We'd have no debt. Hey, I know about debt probably as much as anybody. I've had too much, and I've had too little. And you know what? Too little is much better, believe me.'"

Inside The Mind of Madoff: NYT's Diana Henriques Discusses New Book 'Wizard Of Lies'
Inside The Mind of Madoff: NYT's Diana Henriques fascinating new book 'Wizard Of Lies': "I can guarantee you that there is another Ponzi scheme out there that we haven’t heard about yet."
"Ponzi schemes are, to me, one of the most fascinating crimes on Wall Street, one of the most fascinating financial crimes that there is.
The air they breathe is trust. A Ponzi scheme cannot grow in an environment that’s devoid of trust. Nothing else can either, so in order to eliminate Ponzi schemes, you’d have to create a world completely devoid of trust. And when you’ve got a world like that, number one, none of us wants to live in it. And, number two: You can’t run a modern economy without a minimal level of trust. But that level of trust is exactly the level of trust a Ponzi schemer needs to get away with it. Now, Ponzi schemes are a peculiar crime in that you don’t feel any pain until the very end.
I think the Madoff story introduces a new species of Ponzi scheme. Traditionally, we’ve thought of Ponzi schemes as the classic, too-good-to-be-true fraud. Fifty percent returns a month. Double your money in 10 days. The classic Ponzi scheme, all the way back to the first one in the 1920s, appealed to our greed. The get-rich-quick itch. The Madoff scheme did not appeal to people’s greed; it appealed to their fear. Through most of the Madoff scam, you could’ve made more money somewhere else. There were years when the Magellan Fund at Fidelity was producing much better results that Madoff’s investors were getting. It wasn’t that they were greedy: He was so consistent. He was so safe. They felt safe with Bernie in an increasingly volatile, scary, complicated market. If a Ponzi scheme appeals to your greed, a Madoff scheme appeals to your fears. I can’t tell you how many people told me, “He made me feel safe.”
Those are the kinds of frauds I worry we’re going to see more of."

iPhone, Smartphone Tracking: How Much Is Too Much?
This caught my attention: "...she doesn't see a problem with phone companies using her location to produce targeted ads, as long as they deliver relevant offers to her." That reminds me of what Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen once said, "I don't care if my lettuce has DDT on it, as long as it's crisp." Clever, no? But I think it's wrong. DDT does matter; privacy IS critical, and we must remember that in a very short period of time human minds will be scan-able, and our private inner thoughts reachable - from the outside.
