- Why is the Glass Ceiling Unbreakable?
[News-and-Society:Politics] "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2006" was released by the U.S. Census Bureau in August of 2007. The publication states "The female-to-male earnings ratio of 0.77 in 2006 was not statistically different from the 2005 ratio..." In other words working women, on average, only earn 77% of what their male counterparts are paid.
- An Open Letter to Newsweek
[News-and-Society:Politics] WE hope Jonathan won't mind if we Alter some of his math assumptions regarding the remaining primaries. The Slate Delegate Calculator is indicating a fixed percentage of votes for Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont. They're giving Obama 44% to Clinton's, 54% for Ohio, Obama 40% to Clinton's 58% for Rhode Island, Obama 47% to Clinton's 51% for Texas and Obama 60% to Clinton's 38% for Vermont.
- For Women Only!
[Womens-Interests] Which will come first? Passage of the Equal Rights Amendment or a woman president? Both look a long way off. The question that must be asked is if the U.S. can ever have a woman president without first having equal rights for women?
- Nafta, Cafta, or Shafta - AKA Shafted
[News-and-Society:Economics] When we think about NAFTA, most of us automatically think about two things, Bill Clinton and lost jobs. Most people when they hear the word NAFTA, think NAFTA, CAFTA, or SHAFTA (as in shafted), but that's because they don't know the history.
- Reading Between The Lines On The Proposed Stimulus Package
[News-and-Society:Economics] The $150 billion dollar economic growth package was announced by President Bush on January 24, 2008 after a bipartisan agreement was reached with the leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives. The plan consists of $100 billion in temporary relief for families, and $50 billion in business incentives.
- Another Perfect Storm
[News-and-Society:Politics] It looks like another Perfect Storm to me. I'm talking about the NH Primary results which left egg all over the pollsters and the political pundits and the media. Ever since the book and the movie, by the same name, came out, things that go wrong are called a perfect storm.
- The Big "R"
[News-and-Society:Economics] Hillary Clinton is proposing a $70 Billion stimulus plan for those with lower incomes--that's called trickle up. What I don't understand is why does it take seven years and $700 billion of trickle down to get us where we are?
- How Many Have There Been?
[News-and-Society:Economics] Starting with George Washington, there have been 43 presidents including the present one, George W. Bush. But how many Treasury Secretaries have there been?
- GDP -- What's in it for ME?
[News-and-Society:Economics] Why is GDP so unequally distributed? Not that it should be equally divided up, but why is so skewed to the top? Why do we continue to accept the "trickle down" theory when we've had years without seeing any trickle? Why to avert a recession is money in the form of tax-cuts poured in at the top instead of directing more in the middle and the bottom?
