so, whatever the number is, we're talking job-years, not jobs, right? we're talking about having 20,000 people work for a year, under the o'grady scenario? (others in this thread have satax id number the number is somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 job-years. i have no personal knowledge about which end of the spectrum is closer to the truth, which is why i'm looking for someone to explain More

Calling this the possible, much less likely, high water mark of the scandal is a brave call indeed. I did get the sense a couple of times during the debate that Cameron may have been irs withholding calculator some intelligence he has about previous governments and their coziness with the media and that this might restrain Labour's attacks, but that's pure speculation along with any More

I get why soccer is popular to play. A ball. A lot. Done. I don't get why it is popular to watch. People running all over a huge field for two hours, accomplishing nothing. Most games are 0,0, 0,1 or 1,1. Often the winning goal, the only goal, is a penalty kick after regulation time. How is that interesting? Maybe Americans are about goals (in the broader sense), while the rest of the More

@Karen, we may well have differing views on what kind of leadership styles in management we need, or what constitutes qualifying experience for political leadership. You and i are equally entitled to formulate our own opinions and vote accordingly, another great thing about our country. That said, my criticism related specifically to your analysis, particulary of investor attributes More

Donna, The rules are designed to force you onto Medicare. At 65, you are enrolled in Part A (hospitalization) at no cost to you. If you continue to work past 65 and have health insurance through your employer, you can opt out of Part B until you retire. The problem is, if you delay signing up for Part B at 65, your monthly Part B premium will be permanently higher than it would be if More

Let's; not forget who RUSH really is! The top Entertainer of HATE. Teaching people like Palin, Hannity and BECK how to forget someone you love to make money off of preaching FEAR and HATE to the masses! These Real Americans that love this country more than you and I is the Conservative Movement of the GOP; the ones with their Christian Militias! Rush and Sarah Palin and their Tea More

You starting to get it Peter. Israel is a beacon of enlightenment compared to the leaders of Iran, the Taliban and other like minded people. And a little self interest never hurt anyone. Despite what you may think, the truth is that Israel is an outstanding trade partner in the fields of agriculture, medicine and some manufacturing. If they could be left alone long enough to develop More

While I can certainly agree with Mr. Rove's assessment, he seems to be leaving out the two major advantages working in the president's favor: 1) an uneducated electorate who want to vote themselves entitlements 2) a compliant and agressively partisan liberal media willing to gloss over his many personal weaknesses while focusing like laser beams on the perceived weaknesses of his opponents Sadly, More

Kudos to Taranto for saying the politically incorrect: the hatred of Palin is mainly from liberal women. I have been on the receiving end of the disdain and derision that self described feminists throw at any woman who dares to think for herself. I have tried for years to discuss economics with them, only to be laughed at, scorned, and cut out. This comes both from grads of elite universities More

$4500 for a new visa translates to $1500/year, which is not a big deal. They will just reduce the salary of the employees by the same amount. Indian companies like TCS, Wipro etc. pay a pittance in salary compared to American companies. The pay is so low that most employees located in pricey cities cannot even afford apartments on their own. It used to be that only experienced engineers More
