    College enrollment is falling faster than we thought.

    Computer Science is a tangible skill. A Degree in Star Trek history has no tangible work value. Only rich people can afford to spend 100K on a degree on the history of Star Trek, with a Minor in Klingon language. Only children of wealthy parents can afford the luxury of these degrees...

    Why not put term limits in congress?

    The problem is it becomes an echo chamber and after sitting in the same seat for decades they forget who elected them and only work for lobbyists and not the voters. Terrible way it is today.

    Why not put term limits in congress?

    I do not like the fact that once they get a seat, it becomes pretty much a perpetual seat in congress. And once lobbiests buy them out, they are guaranteed to stay. Why not make it an 8 year max, just like the president?

    College enrollment is falling faster than we thought.

    It does not take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that a degree in "Woman's studies, or Videogame History" Is not going to land you a job that pays above McJob wages.

    College enrollment is falling faster than we thought.

    The problem is most people assume any college degree = high paying job. So people go to college and chose the easiest major that requires a minimum of effort in order to maximize the fun times and frat time. So John Doe Jr. goes to Full Sail,Duke etc.., borrows 100K to get a 4 year degree...

    Sequester nightmare, a big dud.

    Other than the few days of delayed flights which congress and the whitehouse fixed quickly. The sequester seems like a big dud, instead of the nightmare the media and politicians tried to sell it as. Stocks higher than ever, no one seems to even know the word sequester.

    wow tumblr worth $1.1 billion? really? hmmm thank BUBBLE ben bernanke

    Terrible investment. 1,100 million dollars for a company with 13 million revenue. But out of that 13 million how much was actual net profit if any? Dividend payment would have been better.

    What happens if detroit cannot pay for its police etc..

    They are in a big mess in terms of budget. Is it possible that they will not be able to pay city employees and the city goes into chaos? Or is this impossible, ie: the federal government steps in and pays? or do they send in the National guard? how would a scenaro play out.

    70K tesla 7500 dollar kickback, socialism?

    http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/13/autos/tesla-sales-bmw-mercedes-audi/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 If you can afford a 70K car, I think a 7500 taxpayer funded kickback makes no sense. It seems like socialism for the well to do at the backs of the middle class. how is this capitalism/free market?

    Portfolio Margin out of the question due to lack of credit history

    125K is a little on the low side for PM. I would just open up a regular margin account. Also remember Goal #1 should be return of capital. Too many people margin up the ass on speculative positions only to blow out. Better to win small and consistent with lower risk than trying to hit...

    Final Solution to the The Tamerlan Tsarnaev burial problem.

    No one wants to have his body buried in their part of town. Why not send him to the Russians and they can stick him in the Soyuz capsule and in space they can open the back hatch and push his body out into space. It would be a space burial and his frozen corpse could orbit the earth in eternity.
