Reid: Raising Taxes on Jet Owners is the Solution

Seriously, what is the obsession these people have with billionaires and corporate jet owners? How many of these people are there in America - like 10,000? Even doubling their taxes wouldn't come close to solving our problems.

The real question is: why does Geithner still have a job?

What Texas can teach us | Michael Barone | Beltway Confidential | Washington Examiner

Interesting perspective. My adopted home of Texas is definitely one of the strongest economies in the USA right now. It needs to step into the 21st century on issues such as education (and I am not referring to funding - I am referring to quality) as well as some social issues.

But I've lived in some of those "progressive states" that have very well funded educational systems and lots of social legislation, and I'd still much rather be here in TX where I at least have a job and a higher standard of living on the same income!
