   Yeah, well, doing 5 minutes of research shows me that plans in the 300-400/month range are available. http://www.ehealthinsurance.com ...the deductibles tend to be 2000-3000 dollars, but that's not unreasonable. If you have any data to p

   I believe private insurance for 20-somethings is very cheap. Anyway, health care. I think old people understand that the system is kind-of, sort-of insolvent already, and that expanding it will probably push it over the cliff at a bad tim

   You can't discount the apocalypse. You just can't. And this pan-phobic concept "black swan" is just various degrees of unknowable apocalypses that we are supposed to account for based upon their very unaccountableness. I don't buy it. R

   Bill Gates and Buffet are both bad examples because both of them are essentially managers rather than traders.

    Bullshit. If providing information incriminates yourself you do not have to provide it. If those account numbers are on a piece of paper, sure he has to produce the paper. But not if it's in his brain only.

    The advantage of this is that it might subsume other redistributory policies. A lot of money is simply transfered from one person to another in this country, and to have a single method of doing so would make every adjustment to the amou

    In a best-case scenario for CA, it could pay down its entire debt with IOUs. After that, its finances would somewhat improve because the IOUs pay (I think) three percent interest rather than whatever the bonds do. But then, imagine if the

    Imagine the problem they would have if they did take them as taxes. Ultimately CA must pay back its debts with federals, and the federals must come from taxation, eventually. (That or a bailout) Taking IOUs instead of cash is a serpen

    Sowell is an extreme outlier. Anyway, the "nature vs. nurture" argument invariable avoids a simple fact: Nature has a one-time cost, nurture has an infinitely-ongoing cost. I mean: Even if the left is right about schools, institutions, teac
