The only reason the stock market is doing so well is because of the Fed's actions.  By keeping interest rates historically low, people have to put their money someplace to get more than the .15% the banks will pay.  So, people are betting they can get a better return in the equity market.  Investors from other countrie...more

I love reading the Lib's blather.  Bush's policies created a growth rate north of 4.1% in spite of 9/11.  Amazingly, his administration did it without adding  7 trillion in debt like Obama.  Listen up Libs, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd let the housing industry fail which led to the economic collapse.  That being said, t...more

HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA!!!! More liberal talking points.  Obama has done such a wonderful job ---- with all this job creation (b.s.) unemployment should be down around 3%.  Picchi -- how many jobs were lost as a result of 9/11?  Bush's policies allowed the economy to rebound dramatically after 9/11.  We didn't have any o...more

Most comments are right on target.  Jimmy Johns and a number of other food chains are doing exactly what Regal is doing.  I owned a Dunkin Donuts for several years.  I can tell you with the number of employees I had, when you did the math, there was no way I could absorb the additional $70 grand per year Obamacare woul...more

MSN IS AN ACRONYM FOR LOL.

Jerry Mac.  So you think it is right that everybody else pay for your healthcare, right.  Because you pay too much!!!  The problem is that there isn't enough competition, regulations are ridiculous and the ambulance chasing attorneys are the real culprits.  Doctors do every test in the world so they don't get sued for ...more

What you fail to analyze is what companies do to fool the consumer.  Instead of buying a half gallon of ice cream for $5.00, you now buy a third of a gallon for the same price.  Instead of getting 200 count kleenex, you get 180 at the same price or higher.  Instead of 25 slices of bread, you get 24 for the same price. ...more

Let's see.  I have a small business with 20 part time employees working at 7.25/hr. and working 25 hours a week.  So I take them to $9.00/hr.  20 x 25 hours = 500 hours per week x the additional 1.75/hr increase in minimum.  500 hrs x 1.75 = $875 per week added costs, plus the payroll taxes brings me to about $1400 per...more

Mr. Mirhaydari ---- CUT THE BS!!!  Be honest with those who read your column.  THERE IS NO RISK OF THIS COUNTRY PAYING THE BILLS.  We take in more than enough tax money to pay the bills, so we will not default on our debt payments, unless this administration chooses not to pay the bills.  The Dems refuse to cut spendin...more
