		<description><![CDATA[This morning on FaceBook, Dimitri Vassilaros, a local reporter in Pittsburgh, posted his question of the day, which was &#8220;How long should someone be allowed to receive unemployment assistance?&#8221;
Of course, there were the typical stories of someone that was laid off, and then there were the all caring liberals who love to say they care. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Business Insider has a post about David Frum acting as a complete tool for those who love big government and planned economics.

One of the problems is that the anti-Keynesian arguments are simplistic (and probably wrong). The most common critique of Krugman&#8217;s &#8220;spend spend spend!&#8221; strategy is that America will go the way of Greece, but [...]]]></description>

Jeff Dolan&#8217;s tomatoes in San Joaquin Valley are ripening and ready to pick this week. But that puts him in a pickle.
In California, harvest time is arriving just as tomato growers in other parts of the U.S. are reeling from [...]]]></description>

People who want to keep their money off shore, are doing it to protect their money from the modern day mafia, the US gov&#8217;t. Well, not for long. The Obama administration has vowed to go after those who believe their money [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a free market, when people do not want a product, businesses have to adapt their products to deliver something that is wanted. If they do not, they will go out of business. This is a good thing, because it keeps what is produced aligned with what is demanded. For example, when automobiles came out, [...]]]></description>

Because China, like the US, doesn&#8217;t have a free market when it comes to interest rates, there is a good chance they will pop their real estate bubble, and when they do, it&#8217;s going to set off round two of the global financial crisis. Of course, that will set off [...]]]></description>

The U.S. government wants you to accept its new Benjamins: its new $100 notes. It hopes that counterfeiters are less pleased.
The Treasury Department unveiled what it calls &#8220;the next generation one hundred,&#8221; a redesigned $100 bank note to stay ahead of counterfeiters. The new $100 notes will be available on Feb.10, 2011.
By now, the government [...]]]></description>

Just as Apple’s iPhone shook up a complacent cellphone industry, the company’s iPad is provoking PC makers [...]]]></description>

The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in March. That sounds impressive  until you look more closely. At least [...]]]></description>

My mother and father would hark back to the days when a loaf of bread was only 8 cents. “Mom”, I would say, “things just cost more.”
Could I have been more wrong?
Things don’t cost more, it is a hidden tax!
How Inflation is Created
