OK , the Government takes a huge tax hike on a gallon of petrol but these cartels are truely taking the p*ss. Whilst the cost per barrel of oil is going down , the prices at the pumps have sky-rocketed , it makes no sense at all to the logical & sensible person , but hey! , who are we?. They always come away with some crap about the votility of the middle east. I know the truth , this island (Britian) is known as "Treasure Island" to these global companies because we are not known to complain and just 'accept' things. This malaise comes from past generations who did as they were told without complaint ..

quoting...
it's time to replace an "on your own" society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity

quote addt'l
Clinton also said she would help people save more money by expanding and simplifying the earned income tax credit; create new jobs by pursuing energy independence; and ensure that every American has affordable health insurance.

1.) What's wrong with an on your own society? I dont want or need a sociast state to tell me to share what I produce. Isnt that in reality the function of a free market free of government intervention? Ive been on my own for most 49 years and dont want or need Billary to direct my finances.

2.) Here's a better and more effective way to save people money. ELIMINATE the earned income credit, go to a flat tax and forget socialized health insurance. Its a nice pipe dream but look no farther than Canada or Britian to see what mess the government makes of it.
3.) BUSINESS not governemt creates jobs.

These two groups effect everything we by. Why are they NOT included just because they are "volitile?" These are the two things we all buy everyday - they are very important figures!

Sorry, silly question. The replacement rate to keep the population constant is more than 2 kids per family, everywhere in the world. China has had a 1-child policy for many years. Why isn't their population declining?

As you will see from the above article, the United States minimum wage will be increasing steadily over the next year or two. How will these increases impact the US economy? What should a recent college graduate expect with this raise? (No, I won't be making minimum wage at my first job out of school....at least I hope NOT). :)

Anyways when I go into an interview, should I use this as justification for in an increase in pay? (Salary negotiation)

Since the September 11th attack there has been an increase in the demand for security personnel--police, air marshals, airport security, etc. How do you think the higher demand has affected the equilibrium wage? In which direction do you think the labor supply and demand shifted? Explain your reasoning.
