			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During good times, the agents would tell you that paying a high price for a home is a good investment because you are essentially going to ride the wave up. You will make a lot of money in your real estate dealings when you sell the home in the future.</p>
<p>During the recessions and down markets like our current economy, they emphasize how you are going to get a good deal from buying homes that are cheaper than ever before.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I could do temp work for over a year and you&#8217;re just sitting around unemployed but you have a college degree and arent limited to any ailments, disabilities, language barriers, or still in school than I&#8217;m sorry but you&#8217;re a lazy person. </p>
<p>The unemployment rate may be above 10% and scary but that doesn&#8217;t mean there isn&#8217;t ant work available to do. It just means that most employers aren&#8217;t willing to take on any more full time staff but a job is a job and if it means temping than why not go out and try for it. The only loser is the one who hasn&#8217;t tried anything. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Instead of extending the unemployment benefits to well beyond a year, why doesn&#8217;t the government enact some sort of law which assist in hiring more people and putting them to work?</p>
<p>If for example a company is a $1 million a year company and they decide to go from 5 employees to 7 than they have just increased their work force by 40% and in turn should be rewarded with a tax break of say 2-5%. It might not equalize on the balance sheets of companies but it does induce some sort of hiring and the added assets to the company would play out for future productivity.</p>
<p>Adversely the government would end up having a net wash, because while this means they&#8217;ll collect less in business tax revenues, they won&#8217;t have to doll out as much in unemployment benefits as more people will work saving them in cost. As more people start working again, the government will see an increase in revenue driven through increases in the amount of income tax collected.</p>
<p>Ask the average unemployed person here would they rather sit at home pulling in 25% of their previous earnings or given a chance to work again I&#8217;m sure a good fraction of them would love to be back in the workforce. The rest I would go out on a limb and say they may be trying to milk the system but they probably would find a way to milk it regardless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take Vista for example. I must have held back my laptop purchase for years because I saw how horrible Vista was as an operating system. I&#8217;m sure there were plenty of people who bought laptops and pc anyway but they did it in spite of Microsoft and Vista.</p>
<p>Now that Windows 7 is out on the market it awaits to vlbe seen if they let out a better product. The wholecampaign behind Vista and its wow factor really left everything to disappoint when it did not wow anyone. </p>
<p>It also seems like the operating system for Vista had a very short life span on the market before Microsoft decided to release 7. </p>
<p>Well I&#8217;m just ranting but I believe one product can literally ruin your image.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why don&#8217;t more companies initiate safety meetings and conferences. I have been at a few different companies in my life and have found it very enriching to see the company teach safety lessons to it&#8217;s employees. </p>
<p>From simple tips on driving safer to storing things in the right places and not leaving cabinets hanging safety is all around us. </p>
<p>And for any company looking for an incentive to start doing safety with their employees I&#8217;d say at least once every quarter. Remember that pulling employees away for an hour and a half is much more productive and cheaper than payig someones disability bills and hiring a temp to fill in while they&#8217;re out on leave. </p>
<p>I find learning about safety very educational and regretably they never had a safety course in college so you are kind of put into work environments and left to figure it out yourself what&#8217;s safe and what isn&#8217;t. For anyone who treats their office like they do their rooms this could mean potential hazards for fellow coworkers. So this is also a risk to other people&#8217;s safety. </p>
<p>So have at it. Be safe everyday!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No I don&#8217;t plan to create the end all be all scenario to fixing our health care system but just got a few thoughts on what could be done better.</p>
<p>Right now the way I see it you got a lot of pissed off doctors (the suppliers) who went into pile loads of debt to get their degree and start earning money way later in their lives than their peers. Most doctors did not come from families who already had much wealth but rather because they heard of the luxuries a doctors salary can provide them so they took on mountains of loan and debt to get them through schooling for years. They come out and find out insurance companies put caps at what they can make and than realize that they can&#8217;t even afford to pay their loans unless they initiate more tests on patients and offer up bad medicine to get paid off by pharmacies.</p>
<p>Than you have the patient (the consumer) who needs health care related services yet because doctors have become so adamant about making money they forget that the patient often times cannot afford care to begin with. The insurance companies have so many checks and balances it becomes a headache to even make a claim for the patient going in because he already has a headache so whatever processes they need to take financially just get compounded by the headaches they already have from their illness.</p>
<p>Now unlike other industries like automobile, real estate, and credit cards I would venture to say that 100% of the population in America will agree they will not be happy if all the doctors and hospitals vanished tomorrow.<br />
If automobiles vanished we can all ride bikes or public transportation, so why did the big three get bailed out? If home builders no longer were around, we&#8217;d simply rent or buy homes that are already built. Who needs to have a brand new never lived in home anyway? That&#8217;s a want not a need. And if credit cards were gone than we&#8217;d go back to paying with cash, or now it&#8217;ll be debit cards and putting things down on lay away right?</p>
<p>But what would we do without doctors, diagnosis our own illnesses using wikipedia? I doubt that would be helpful.</p>
<p>For this reason I&#8217;m saying we should subsidize the students education. I would much rather have my tax dollars go to those college students who will study doctor school and pay for their education than GM.</p>
<p>They&#8217;ll pay us forward in the future by providing reasonable and affordable health care to us. They will have to figure out who can go to school and have a system in place to pick those most knowledgeable and determined to become doctors. Than the government working with insurance can set predetermined prices for various levels of health care and hopefully being that the doctor isn&#8217;t riled in debt til they&#8217;re 60 they will give us proper health care and we can afford it with lower payments.</p>
