Employment Data Have Economists Scratching Heads
No middle class buying houses = no housing recovery! =============\ And no home buying = no new home building No new home buiilding = no recovery.— February 5, 2011 8:43 p.m.
Who'll Buy LA Times? Platinum? More Likely Murdoch
The LA Times building is in one of the best downtown locations in LA, across from City Hall, new Police HQers, federal court-and the building from the outside is pretty cool, I have never been inside it though. I wonder if it has any landmark status attached to it.— February 4, 2011 11:14 p.m.

Bridgepoint: Bad for Students, Good for Gamblers?
Visduh your post was so on target that it should be memorialized in a tattoo on former SDSU President Day's forehead, and also on Stephen Weber's too- as a flaming signpost of gov mediocrity.— February 4, 2011 12:16 p.m.
Bridgepoint: Bad for Students, Good for Gamblers?
Can a young person "bootstrap" her way through a university education without incurring a lifetime of debt? === Not today. SDSU was $150 a semester in 1982, community colleges were free. Today SDSU is $2500 per semester and CC are $250 per class. UC Hastings College of the Law (public CA law school) and UCLA SOL were $5K per year in 1982, today it is close to $40K. Professional schools like law, dentistry and medicine should have always been more, but today they are near the same cost as a private university. I knew when Dukmejin started claiming that students at community colleges could afford $5 per unit that it was just a ruse to get his foot in the tuition fee door, and once that door was open the sky would be the limit-and I was correct.— February 4, 2011 12:12 p.m.

The questions you pose are relevant. Let me be blunt: do the for-profit colleges fill a vacuum that should be filled by non-profits institutions? Answer: no. ================== You're 100% correct. The SMALL and MINIMAL void the "for profit" schools (and many of the non profits) fill, maybe 5% max, is FAR outweighed by the harm and abuse they cause to the other 95%.— February 4, 2011 12:06 p.m.
Bridgepoint: Bad for Students, Good for Gamblers?
Do our citizens deserve to be protected from degree-granting institutions that certify a level of education that is fraudulent or that does not meet higher academic standards? === yes the citizens do. The problem is DoE is run by the for profit schools and student loan companies-Margret Spellings is a perfect example. They have set up the system for fraud and abuse. Industry stacking the gov oversight agencies with cronies to increase profits. Wall Street is another prime example of these systematic gov oversight failures. They are milking the middle class and poor for everything they have. And this parasitic draining of the countries wealth is destroying it. BTW, my appeal to the SCOTUS on education fraud is on the docket for review for February 18th. I highly doubt it will be granted review-but it is there and I am hoping.— February 4, 2011 12:04 p.m.
Employment Data Have Economists Scratching Heads
The UE numbers are next to useless because of the way the gov manipulates the data. As if at 6 months, some magical, mysterious and arbitrary number, EVERYONE stops looking for work, yeah, right.— February 4, 2011 11:59 a.m.

The Cat That Filled the Hole in Our Hearts
I too think animals find us, we don't find them. === Same here. It is fate. How my Dalamation came to me was pure fate, it was meant to be, same with my little Cocker and my first Pittie Nala. All of them. They came for a reason-why, I don't know. But I do believe it was destiny.— February 3, 2011 6:15 p.m.
