Actual Air Fare – $719.96
Taxes & Fees – $264.60
Ratio – 36.75%
How ridiculous is that? Now, we are leaving the country so maybe it’s the greed of our politicians combined with [...]

From the piece After the Great Recession by David Leonhardt.
THE PRESIDENT: Now, I actually think that the tougher issue around medical care — it’s a related one — is what you do around things like end-of-life care —
LEONHARDT: Yes, where it’s $20,000 for an extra week of life.

Some of the decisions our new administration are making are historic, but for all the wrong reasons. Take this sad development:
Gird your blogs, because if liberals in Congress get their way, President Obama will have sole discretionary authority to shut down the Internet or critical parts of the Internet should he feel his presidency is [...]
