Hey, Ma?am, Can You Find 742,600 jobs in 11 Months?
2009-12-18 23:42:00 Ten months ago, California’s junior Senator praised the Senate for passing the so-called “stimulus,” noting that the “$787.1 billion economic recovery legislation” was “designed to save or create millions of jobs“. She cited a White House prediction “that the legislation will save or create approximately 400,000 jobs in California.” Well, since her vote for the bill, ...

Leaseback deals could come back and bite CTA unless Congress acts
2009-11-03 13:00:00 What started in the 1980s as a tax shelter for investing banks and a cash cow for transit agencies now threatens the financial stability of at least 30 transit agencies across the nation.Leaseback transactions allowed transit agencies to lease real property such as buses to banks and other private investors, who could then use depreciation deductions to reduce their taxes over time. By 2003, the Treasury Dept. denied all depreciation deductions under these leasebacks, after determining that $4.4 billion was being lost in revenue as a result of the deals. So now they were worthless to the banks, and they were looking for ways to escape the deals. From a Tax Foundation report last year:"The escape route that the banks...
GWHH Review: Lupe Fiasco "Remember to Smile" show at Congress The
2009-11-01 05:10:00 The Remember to Smile show was, in a word: inspiring. Lupe Fiasco developed a series of video installments to create a storyline throughout the 2+ hour show. The installments, titled Lyric, Life, Death, (minus Love), Faith, Politics, Fame, Progress, Chicago, and Lasers, captured Lupe's life to this point in a powerful, cinematic fashion. Every video included Lupe's viewpoint on each domineering topic followed by music from his discography of mixtapes and albums to bring it to life.I can honestly say that those in attendance at the Congress Theater gained a personal picture of the person that Lupe Fiasco is just by simply analyzing the show and his conscious performance choices. The video topics were particularly evocative because the specific word...

I was interested to see what he was saying when Mars crossed the Ic of the chart, the Foundation Point. I now believe that it is primarily Mr. Obama who is signified by Mars due to his strong performance and an undercurrent of anger beneath it. When Mars 'jumped' the Ic at 8:33 pm the president had already begun detailing his plan and at 8:33 pm he mentioned setting up "a new insurance exchange, a marketplace" to increase competition, bring down costs, and which is envisioned to be operative "in four years." This tallies with Mars' Sabian Symbol here, as discussed below: "A Large Diamond Not Completely Cut." If a marketplace is set up, it will be worth a lot of diamonds, won't it?And since he actually began speaking at 8:17 pm, the ASC degree is most a...
