By JEFFREY H. ANDERSO
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is touting the Senate’s newest health-care bill as costing $849 billion over 10 years. But this uses the same accounting trick as past versions: 99 percent of the costs don’t kick in until the fifth year of that “10 year” period.

12 reasons unemployment is going to (at least) 12 percent
Posted by: James Pethokoukis (Reuters)
Gluskin Sheff economist David Rosenberg, formerly of Merrill Lynch, thinks the unemployment rate is going to at least 12 percent, maybe even 13 percent.

Adam Smith would not be optimistic in today's economic world
Adam Smith once commented that "there is a great deal of ruin in a nation". He meant that bungling governments imposed only a limited check on the economic performance of a Great Nation.
UK Telegraph article (no auther listed)

I went to bed early last night when Fox News stated that mathematically there was no way McCain could win. I was disappointed but not overly so.
I’ve spoken out all campaign long in support of McCain but I never actually felt compelled to “get out the vote” like the Obama supporters did.

Simply look on the bright side of things....Side-by-side
comparisons confirm that optimists are more energetic, have
stronger bones and muscles, and lower blood pressure than
pessimists - at every age! Some suspect that adopting a
positive attitude directly affects levels of chemicals in
your body that control such things as heart, lung and brain
function.
