I guess you going to wait until June to write about Obamacare? Or are you only going to write about it if it goes your way?

The Automatic IRA act of 2011 reqiures employers to set up IRA accounts for employees and auto enroll those employees into the retirement account. True the emp[loyee can opt out but this is only a sneeze away from an IRA mandate.

DR-The big healthcare trial is this week. I'm still willing to bet dinner at Southern Prime. I know its off topic but how long before the government decides i need to buy long term care insurance to stop me from free riding on the nursing home sysytem? How long before I am required to buy an IRA account to fix the retirement system?

Ever heard of Fools Gold. Only a fool would suggest going back to the Gold Standard. Politicizing monetary policy would be a disaster! Just look at how badly Congress has handled fiscal policy

There are a few interesting points in this story that get me excited for Mr. Mathews. Others could learn from this.

  1. He learned a valuable skill in a vocational high school. We need more of this training at all levels.
  2. He chooses to not to rip people off and forgo short term profits in search of long term success by operating with integrity
  3. He enters the world of entrepreneurship which is the biggest predictor of future wealth.
  4. He demonstrates a strong work ethic by staying open for longer hours because he is "hungry"

These are all admirable traits. I do not need to wish Mr. Mathews luck because I know if he sticks to his character he is a certain success!

Jim- The Tea Party has served it's purpose. They put a stop to the European style socialism attempted by the Reid, Pelosi, Obama trio. The Supreme Court will be dealing with Obamacare this spring and in the Fall independent minded voters will determine the next four years. I'll bet dinner at Southern Prime the Republican nominee wins in November.

Fun quiz i scored 26/33 but i'm sure i had a few lucky guesses.

Mr. Heim-

The government creates jobs when it to provides public goods like national defense, public safety and education. They are further charged with regulating when market failures (there are seven catagories of market failure) exist. Othewrwise the gov't should simply get out of the way. But don't let solid economic theory get in the way of partisian politics...ok?
