Orange Leads is the FIRST and ONLY company to ever give away legitimate business opportunity leads for free, with no catch. I will show you how you can get paid CASH DAILY from Orange Leads by finding people that want free business opportunity leads. You have 2 choices below, to join as a free member or as a premium member.
Sure, search Google and you will find hundreds of companies offering free business opportunity leads. But they all have a catch such as: * The leads are actually just other members joining the same program. You find out too late YOU are the lead and start getting tons of email from people trying to recruit you into their opportunity. * You have to actually generate the lead yourself. This is free if you believe your time is worth nothing. * The leads are free if you are willing to look at other opportunities. This usually requires you to look at 2 to 5 other business opportunity websites in order to get someone to look at yours.
Orange Leads gives you leads that are usually purchased. These are people that have filled out a form on a website indicating they are interested in having their own home business opportunity. Suggested retail value on these leads are $0.65 to $7.00 each. However, you no longer have to purchase them. Orange Leads gives them to you for free!
I can prove these are real leads within 5 minutes.
If you don't believe me, its ok. I can easily prove this is true to you without a shadow of any doubt within just a few minutes. Get your private log in for free. Then log in and within 1 minute click the button that says "get your free lead." Immediately you will have a lead which includes: 1. First and last name. 2. Mailing address. 3. Telephone number. 4. Email address. 5. Date and time the person filled out the form on our website that they wanted their own business. 6. Ip address the person was on when they filled out the form. 7. A link to verify the mailing address, telephone number, and ip address. All you have to do is contact these leads and you will find that at least 50% are good qualified leads. The very same ratio as if you were to purchase leads. Why? Because these are the same leads other people purchase for $0.65 to $7.00 each. Once you get the lead it is deleted from our database so as not to go to any other members.

Imagine text ads for your business opportunity and the text ads of your downline all over the internet!
As an example, let's say that you place your text ads on your website and over the next month 500 people click on one of the text ads. Let's say out of that 50 of them also decide they want to host text ads on their website. That is 50 more people in your downline on your first level!
Then the next month let's say these 50 all do the same. They place the text ads on their website and they have 500 people click on their text ads, and they each have 50 that join on their first level.
That means there would be 2500 people on your second level! And you do realize your downline is 15 levels deep right?
At the top of every website, no matter which Orange Leads Text Ad anyone clicks on, the visitor will always see the opportunity to also host the ads and join your Orange Leads downline. Orange Leads Text Ads build your orange leads downline.

You can see how much you have earned in cash and in free click credits, who has been viewing your ads, who clicked on your ads, change your ads anytime, and more.
Premium members also earn cash from clicks from their downline. Everytime we pay someone on your first level a $50 same day alertpay cash payment for text ads clicks, you get a same day alertpay cash payment for $25.
Premium members not only earn $25 same day alertpay payments from their first level, but also on unlimited levels down. As long as there are only free members between you and the person we pay a $50 cash payment to in your downline, Premium members will get $25 also. There is no limit to how many levels down you can get paid.
In the chart below I show you what I mean by "as long as there are only free members between you and the member in your downline we pay $50." In the example below you would get paid $25.00 for every member in your downline WITHOUT AN X every time we paid them $50.00 for clicks.
This is just an example. There is no depth limit on who you can earn the $25 from in your downline.

To qualify for the level 2 bonuses you must have at least 3 level 1 sales if you join with the $197.00 annual payment, or you must have at least 6 level 1 sales if you join with the $23.50 monthly payment, and be willing to accept your level 2 commissions via alertpay.com.

Premium and Gold members can receive an override bonus on all Vip Wealth Club members in their organization, no matter how deep or wide it goes. If you want to know what the VIP Wealth Club is, click here. Gold members also get the premium membership and VIP Wealth Club membership included in their Gold membership fee. Premium members must pay the extra $19 per month to join VIP Wealth Club. To qualify for the Override bonus, both Premium and Gold members must have 10 active VIP Wealth Club members personally sponsored. That means they will be on their Tier 1. The Premium member will also need to join VIP Wealth Club to qualify. The Premium member will be paid 38 cents per month override on all VIP Wealth Club members in their organization no matter how deep or wide their sponsorship goes, until the line bumps into another Premium member. The 38 cents is based on $19 per month. If the member paid semi-annually or annually, your override bonus is 2%.
If you look at the bird's eye view of the Premium member's organization below, (just an example), you see that all the black dots, which are VIP Wealth Club members, would pay you 38 cents per month. The red dot is another Premium member in your downline, so you would not receive the override bonus in any of that premium member's organization, you would however receive $23.50 monthly or 50% of that premium member's membership.
The Gold member will be paid 95 cents per month override on all VIP Wealth Club members in their organization no matter how deep or wide their sponsorship goes, until the line bumps into another Gold member. The 95 cents is based on $19 per month. If the member paid semi-annually or annually, your override bonus is 5%.
If you look at the bird's eye view of the Gold member's organization below, (just an example), you see that all the black dots, which are VIP Wealth Club members, would pay you 95 cents per month. The yellow dot is another Gold member in your downline, so you would not receive the override bonus in any of that Gold member's organization, you would however receive $83.50 monthly or 50% of that Gold member's membership. However, notice that the red dots, which are Premium members, do not block you from receiving commissions in their organizations. Only another Gold member would block you. Already we have commissions going to Gold members that are over 10,000 people down in their organization. Since there are fewer Gold members than Premium members, and since the override bonus on Gold is 2 1/2 times that of Premium, it makes the Gold override bonus much more lucrative. Gold members ALSO receive the Premium member override. So on many members you will receive 38 cents PLUS 95 cents monthly.
If you want to join free, click here now. To join as Premium Member choose your payment option below.

Well Made Costume!
By Jersey Mom

About Me Classic
Comments about Palamon Dorothy Costume - Wizard of Oz MD 8:
Loved this costume! Much better made than any costume in a mass retail store. High Quality and looked adorable! I also purchased the wig from her, and my 5 year old daughter was by far the best costume that I saw on Halloween, and her school parade. It does run small so beware. My daughter usually wears a 5/6 and I ordered the costume in an 8 and it was just a tiny bit big but still looked great! I'll be looking here first for Halloween next year!
Great costume!

About Me Classic, Trendy
My daughter has been obsessed with the wizard of oz for the last year. This was by far the best costume I've found. She looked amazing in it. I saw 3 other Dorothy costumes and they did not compare. It does run small luckily. She is 2 and a half and the size 4 fit great.
great costume!

Well-made, lovely Dorothy costume
By BMommy
from Washington, DC
About Me First Time Parent
My three-year-old is obsessed with the Wizard of Oz, and I wanted a Dorothy costume for her for Halloween that wasn't cheap and plastic-y, but also wasn't too pricey. This dress fit the bill perfectly. It's very well-made and durable, so she'll be able to use it for dress-up for quite a while. I was worried that the size XS(4)might be big on her, as she's a 3T, but it fit perfectly. Highly recommended!

from Atlanta, GA
This little outfit was so cute, well made, and all the extra touches. Skirt was pouffy, which was a hit. Have seen lots of Dorothy outfits, but this was by far the nicest looking one.Love it.
I don't think where in kanas anymore!
By Mom of 3
from Pittsburgh Pa
I loved this costume! It is such great quality that it almost can pass for a real dress! For the money that you pay this costume is hands down the best! My little girl loves it and won't take it off! True to size and a tad short but overall fantastic! I would recommend this to my sister!

Cute but a lttle smaller than expected
By Mom of 2 teethers
from Central NJ
This was actually cuter on my 23 mo than I thought it would be. The little fake ruby on the front and "fluff" at the bottom of the skirt are adorable features. However, wish they had given better idea of sizing. I ordered the XS-4 since there really was no way to tell what the OSA sizes coresponded to in regular sizes. My 23mo wears a 24 month size but can be comfortable in some 2Ts, and this dress is tight and just barely fits her - I am crossing my fingers that it will still fit her for a costume party 3 weeks away. OSA needs to adjust or clarify their sizes.
Cute costume!
By shmoofee
from Salt Lake City , UT
I bought this costume for my 3 1/2 year old daughter for Halloween. She is tall for her age ...probably the height of a 4 1/2-5 year old... but skinny, so I decided to go with the Small. It ended up being too short on her (My daughter likes dresses to be on the longer side...at least below her knees...the Small was probably knee length or a little higher on her and she wouldn't be able to wear it for very long before she grew out of it) So I called One Step Ahead and they were great to do an exchange for Medium with a free return label and without charging shipping again. Great customer service! The Medium fits great, and she can't wait to be Dorothy for Halloween! It seems to be made well and is very comfortable. The only thing I didn't like were the red hair ribbons that came with it. Dorothy had blue hair ribbons....so we are just going to go buy some of our own. A great purchase!

I wanted my daughter to be DOROTHY for Halloween. She is 19mts old. I was originally looking for the dress in a 18 or 24mt since that is the size she wears. After plenty searching I saw this one and fell in love..... I read the reviews about how small it ran so I took a chance fully expecting to have to alter it.

Just ordered this for my little girl for upcoming Halloween. Super cute and great quality. It comes with red hair ribbons instead of blue checkered and has no white sash, but otherwise matches description. It is much better quality than I would have found a local store. It is made like a real dress. The double skirt gives it flare so she will not need anything else under it. She will be 4 in October and I orderd the size 6. She weighs 38lbs and is almost 40" tall. It is a perfect fit. It looks and fits great, but still enough room in the body so that she can wear it after Halloween for playtime this year. I am glad I didn't order the 4. She loves it.

Missing School Days Gets Parents Arrested
By: Maria Oliver/NBC
Updated: February 21, 2009
The parents were ordered to serve fifty days in jail for contributing to the delinquency of their 13-year old daughter.
They claim their daughter was teased at school and won't go back.
The school district reached out by offering parent conferences, home visits, even medical and mental health assistance.
Officials say the parents have both a moral and legal obligation to educate their daughter.
The girl's father is currently serving jail time while the mother will begin serving when he is released in mid-march.

Senate leaders and the White House struck a last-minute deal to avert the feared fiscal cliff Monday night, with Vice President Joe Biden headed to the Capitol Hill to pitch the plan to fellow Democrats.
"Happy New Year," Biden, who became the Democratic point man in the talks, told reporters. "Did you think we would be here New Year's Eve?"
But the House of Representatives went home long before midnight, meaning nothing will get through Congress before the combination of tax increases and spending cuts Congress has been scrambling to head off starts to kick in.
A source familiar with the deal told CNN that the Senate proposal would put off the cuts for two months and keep the expiring Bush-era tax cuts for individuals earning less than $400,000 or couples earning less than $450,000. Taxes on inherited estates over $5 million will go up, and that exemption will be indexed for inflation.
Biden had been in negotiations with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, since Sunday afternoon. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, both Democrats, agreed to the plan in calls with President Barack Obama, a Democratic source said Monday night.
Economists warn the one-two punch of tax increases and spending cuts could push the U.S. economy back into recession and drive unemployment back over 9% by the end of 2013. Obama had chided lawmakers earlier Monday and warned that battles over spending still loomed, hitting a nerve among several Republicans in the Senate.
"They are close, but they're not there yet," Obama said. "And one thing we can count on with respect to this Congress is that if there is even one second left before you have to do what you're supposed to do, they will use that last second."
Obama said the plan on the table would prevent a tax increase for the overwhelming majority of Americans, extend the child tax and tuition credits for families, extend credits for clean-energy companies and extend unemployment benefits for 2 million people. But he said lawmakers still have to figure out how to mitigate the impact of the planned cuts.
And he warned that if Republicans think they can get future deficit reduction solely through spending cuts "that will hurt seniors, or hurt students, or hurt middle-class families without asking also equivalent sacrifice from millionaires or companies with a lot of lobbyists ... they've got another think coming."
That irked Republican senators who have been grappling for a deal with the Democratic majority in that chamber. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, called the president's comments "very unbecoming of where we are at this moment" and added, "My heart's still pounding."

"We knew coming into the game it was going to be a hard battle. It was a tense game right from the start," said Lady Trojan head coach Katina Walker.
Trailing late in the fourth quarter, the Cherokees found themselves having to foul and hoping the Lady Trojans would miss the free throws. The strategy failed as the Beeville girls calmly stroked in eight of 10 shots over the final three plus minutes to push the Cherokees to their third straight district loss.
The Lady Trojans came out strong and held the Cherokees to just six first period points. The Beeville girls put up 14 to earn a early eight-point advantage.
The Lady Trojans continued their first quarter domination by outscoring the Cherokees 16-10 in the second period to open up a nice 30-16 lead at halftime.
The previously state-ranked T-M girls would not quit and mounted the comeback trail by playing some strong defense in the second half. The Lady Trojans lost five points of their lead with a poor offensive performance in the third period, hitting for just six tallies while the Cherokees recorded 11. It was a little closer at 36-27, heading into the final stanza.
The play was intense and Beeville's leading scorer, Victoria Elizalde, went out of the game with her second technical foul with a little more than three minutes left to play. Four technicals were called in the hotly contested match.
The rest of the Lady Trojans kept things under control and when forced to step to the charity stripe, Krystal Cuellar, Tori Muñoz and Theresa Amador hit what they needed to keep the Cherokees at bay and maintain the Beeville lead.
"Defense won this game. With Victoria (Elizalde) out of the game due to the technicals, Krystal (Cuellar) and Ciara (Garcia) had two game-stopping steals at the end of the ball game that T-M could not recover from," said Walker.
The T-M girls scored 20 points in the final eight minutes to make it closer, but the Beeville girls managed to produce 15 to win the important District 30-4A contest on the Cherokees' home floor.
The win improves the Lady Trojans' record to 23-5 on the season and puts them at 5-1 in the district battles. T-M falls to 17-10 overall and 2-4 in district play.
Elizalde led the Lady Trojans in scoring with 19 points, 12 coming in the first half. Ciara Garcia hit for eight points in the win. Paige McKinney added seven points, while Cuellar and Amador each contributed six. Brennan Holder followed with four points, and Tori Muñoz hit one big free throw late in the game.
The Lady Trojans dominated the glass in the first half, especially as Elizalde, Holder, Garcia, Amador and McKinney worked well inside to keep the Cherokees under control and limit any put-backs.
The Lady Trojans had another tough road game on Tuesday night when they traveled to meet the Gregory-Portland Ladycats in the first game of the second round of district play. On Friday, the Beeville girls will host the Victoria West Lady Warriors.

One of the key points of this blog is that the health care debate has never been about health care. Never. Money isn't the prime driver. Money is the only driver. How do the hospitals, doctors and other medical providers get paid, and how much, are the real issues.
Except for a couple of purists, no one really cares who pays the doctor or hospital as long as it isn't you, the patient. Do you really care if your $300,000 bill from the Cleveland Clinic or University Hospital is paid by Anthem Blue Cross or the federal government? Honestly? No. All you really want to know is how much, if anything, you will owe once the dust settles. And the providers? The insurers pay more, but have a lot of paperwork. Medicare pays less, but quickly. Based on the number of medical providers that accept Medicare (darn near everyone), I'm guessing that there are no serious complaints. The hospitals may even like having two major funding sources to play against each other.
I have tried to teach my clients what I know of the game. My senior clients learn about the origins of Medicare Parts A and B, the backroom deals that gave us Part D (Rx), and why costs are out of control. Countless clients have been clued in that those obscene charges are negotiable before and after services have been rendered.
Your perception of our system changes today thanks to Time magazine. Blessed with budget, time, and amazing persistence, Steven Brill has given us Bitter Pill, Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us. Mr. Brill tracked claims and laid bare the abomination that is our system of billing for services – real or imagined. Straightforward in his prose, laborious in his detail, Mr. Brill presents a system of overpaid executives and hyper profitable not-for-profits.
The real issue isn't whether we have a single payer or multiple payers. It's whether whoever pays has a fair chance in a fair market. Congress has given Medicare that power when it comes to dealing with hospitals and doctors, and we have seen how that works to drive down the prices Medicare pays, just as we've seen what happens when Congress handcuffs Medicare when it comes to evaluating and buying drugs, medical devices and equipment. Stripping away what is now the sellers' overwhelming leverage in dealing with Medicare in those areas and with private payers in all aspects of the market would inject fairness into the market. We don't have to scrap our system and aren't likely to. But we can reduce the $750 billion that we overspend on health care in the U.S. in part by acknowledging what other countries have: because the health care market deals in a life-or-death product, it cannot be left to its own devices.
Steven Brill – Bitter Pill, Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us
You won't agree with all of Brill's conclusions. I certainly don't. But read his work. This should be the new starting point of our national conversation.

To: Dave Cunix,
If we assume that everyone (except the beneficiaries of the high health care prices) want to lower the costs of health care then what are the key questions that we must ask ourselves?
Dave Cunix
6:21 pm on Tuesday, February 26, 2013
I would suggest reading Brill's article. It is very long, but it needs to be. Again, I don't agree with all of his conclusions, but I think that this may be a starting point. I have contended for quite some time that there is a sleight of hand in the current debate. We have been focused on the wrong part of the equation.

It's not about money, it's about choice. Eliminate consumer choice and you end up with rising costs and declining quality and availability. The federal government has been eliminating choices in health care for nearly 50 years, and the unaffordable results should not be surprising. Obamacare takes a giant leap forward in reducing choices even more, and will effectively kill health care as we know in America. The solution to unaffordable health care is less government and more consumer choice. It's not complicated, but those who want power make it so, like the insurance companies who are in bed with Obamacare.
Dave Cunix
8:44 am on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Choice? You don't choose to have chest pains and a heart attack. You access services at a moment of weakness. This isn't scheduled. The ambulance doesn't take you to the various hospitals so that you can get an estimate before you commit to an E/R. And even if you could do that, there isn't any way to get the REAL price in advance. There used to be a lot more hospitals in Greater Cleveland. Now there are more buildings but they are almost all a part of the two major systems. I am no fan of the PPACA, but the President had nothing to do with the elimination of the local independent hospitals such as Hillcrest or Euclid. These may be better facilities now, but you have less choice and less pricing competition.
Mark Zetzer
8:11 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
The unpredictability of health emergencies is why we need health insurance, and the same reason we need car insurance, home insurance, etc. Insurance is not a new or complicated service model; it's the same no matter what you're insuring. Cars, homes and human bodies are all pretty expensive to build and maintain, some have pre-existing flaws, and they all eventually die. You choose your coverage to protect their lives in advance, weighing risks and costs. With free market health insurance across states lines, you would have more providers and premium prices to choose from.
The loss of hospital competition in Ohio and across the country is the result of the growing costs and restrictions placed on health providers since Johnson's 'Great Society' in the mid-1960's. Most notable in that loss is the many religious charity hospitals that once served the poor and the uninsurable. Bring the free market back to the medical industry and you will see more consumer choices emerge and prices come down for everything: hospitals, doctors, nurses, midwives, faith healers, shamen, quacks and insurance premiums. You would also see a return of the much-needed charity hospitals.
Yes, Obama did not make health care unaffordable in America. The federal government already controlled most of the industry by 2008. But Obama's PPACA is the opposite of a free market solution and will only make the situation worse--and trample all over our civil and property rights in the process.

If there was no Insurance, what would life be like?
Is outlawing third party liability the answer?
Donna Feorene

I think Obama are is more about further centralization of power with the federal government and reduction of freedom of America's citizens than anything else.
Nathaniel Brooks

Well Donna, where were you when Bush and Cheney were enacting the Patriot act, granting the United States government unrestricted access to any personal information they deemed of interest. Oh I know Bush and Cheney did no harm. Get real people. The Minstrel show those two clowns put on was a disgrace to the office, but everyone wants to sweep it under the rug like nothing happened. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Obama is no Angel, but at least he puts on a good show. I have a secret for you Donna, Obama and Cheney are related by blood lol. All the great actors in government are in bed together. They eat at the same tables, and drink the same scotch. Keep drinking the kool aid. I bet you think Monsantos cares about you as well. When are you people going to stop living in a bubble. This whole thing is a sham. The native Americans were living here for thousands of years without big oil, sky scrapers, microwaves, genetically altered food, polluted air, and polluted water. Also look up why the add fluoride to the tap water. Pick up a book I doubt you'll learn anything, but it's worth a shot.

This was an EXCELLENT piece in Time. Perhaps some of you spouting the typical right/left-wing bullcrap should just shut up and read this very informative article. Although I realize that's asking a lot from people nowadays.

Joe H,
and all journalists. "This was an EXCELLENT piece in Time". Which is why nobody read it. Time and its like minded media partners are about as frequently consulted on the news of today as the New York Sun of "Yes, Virginia" fame.

I wouldn't say that nobody read the Time article. Blogs like mine that highlighted the work will help to bring the information to far more people. I suspect that Mr. Brill's work will find its way into the policymaking discussions of the next year. That may be all we can hope for.

To: All of the kind people who want to know more about the Brill article,
Could someone please summarize the key points of the article?
If we know the key points then perhaps we can ask more useful questions.
If we can rank order our questions then we can speculate on some helpful answers to the most important questions.
Dave Cunix
3:43 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Lou, the key point is that we are being distracted by an arguement over WHO pays the bills without ever discussing WHAT bills we are paying and WHY. Much of the last four years of Health Insurance Issues With Dave has been devoted to opening the rest of the discussion. Brill investigates real claims - the actual bills people have been forced to pay for their health care.
Yes, it will take a bit of effort to read the whole article. Our attention spans have shrunk. Our willingness to put forth the effort to learn all of the details has diminished. But it is only through taking the time to master the issues will we be able to have a complete discussion and have real change and progress.
4:42 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
The elephant in the room is the fact that our health industry feels that they are entitled to more of our country's wealth than we can afford to pay them. The government can cut Medicare benefits till the cows come home but if healthcare costs continue to rise at twice the rate of inflation, then the problem will only worsen. To say that all insurance is the same is foolish. Cars can be fixed or replaced at a reasonable cost while people without healthcare insurance cannot be replaced and can be financially ruined. Excluding food, there are 3 products we cannot live without and they are healthcare, higher education and fuel. What a coincidence that these are the 3 industries that don't respond to market forces.
Mark Zetzer
5:26 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Goods and services that don't respond well to market forces are the result of State intervention. Get rid of the taxes, regulations and prohibitions that interfere with consumer choice in healthcare, higher education and energy, and you will see the prices for these goods and services come down, as long as the folks who are using these things are the ones who are paying for them. So Dave, WHO pays is just as key as WHAT they're paying for. The same is true for every other good or service the State interferes with, that's why the government should stick to the Constitutionally limited role of protecting civil and property rights and stay out of the delivery of goods and services.
5:42 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Those are just talking points compliments of your favorite political party. Medicare is a less expensive delivery system vs. private insurers. Since the 1960's, if the price of milk had increased at a similar rate as healthcare has, then a gallon of milk would cost $28. That is true with automobiles as well. Last time I checked these two industry groups are also subject to government regulation. These industries cannot raise their prices like the healthcare industry because the people would cease to buy their product. With healthcare, when a doctor tells a loved one that without kidney dialysis you loved one will die......you have no free choice there....it's what I like to call a "mortality monopoly".
Mark Zetzer
8:36 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Medicare notoriously underpays and is unsustainable.
Healthcare costs have been driven up by declining market choices; milk is much less regulated and is therefore subject to more price competition.
Kidney dialysis and other major medical procedures would be the most affordable when subject to market forces. Compare the costs of these same procedures done for pets; pet owners have choices in veterinary care that they do not for their own care!
9:38 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
I just completed Jon Meacham's biography on Thomas Jefferson. It's an excellent read and I would recommend the book to all. My point is that you can pull a quote from Jefferson and apply to any context that suits your fancy. A deeper insight into Jefferson yields a feud bordering on hatred towards Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists. Jefferson was against the Bank of America because of the power it placed in the hands of the aristocrats. Jefferson was a staunch supporter of the common man. The type of political power that Corporate America, including the healthcare industry, enjoys with our government is anathema to everything Jefferson stood for. He did not envision a government that was a playground for the rich and powerful. Just the opposite.
Dave Cunix
6:20 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Theory vs. Reality - a fun discussion if you have nothing better to do and your money isn't involved in the outcome. Sadly, we do have more important issues occupying our time and our money is very much at stake.
Mark, if you wish to be so adamant about your opinion, please take the time to read the core material. Then explain to us how the government is the problem in the cases Brill follows.
Government is a lot like food in that we don't do well with either too little or too much. We may never find the right balance, but the idea that anarchy is preferable is difficult to take seriously.
Mark Zetzer
8:16 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Markets are not anarchy, they are self-regulating because they operate by persuasion rather than force. If market actors make mistakes, the market punishes them. When governments make mistakes, they seize even more power and money as a purported remedy and only create even more unintended problems.
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington
"That government is best which governs least." Thomas Jefferson
Garry Kanter
8:38 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
There is no evidence to support the Smith theory that markets are self-regulating.
There is all of recorded history showing that they are not. Mr. Greenspan learned that, and he was "shocked".
9:09 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
A bone marrow transplant for survivals sake is not like persuading someone to buy a car. The government doesn't underpay, rather the medical industry overcharges. That's why we have twice the medical expense per capita then any other industrialized nation. I read the story Dave references when it came out 2 weeks ago because it was headline news. I would suggest you do the same because there's a whole side of the story that you are unfamiliar with. Just read it, it's not going to cost you anything.
9:20 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
The Republicans deregulated the Savings & Loan industry and it cost the taxpayers billions, they deregulated the banking industry in the 2000's and it cost the taxpayers trillions, they deregulated the oil & gas industry and we had untold environmental damage in the Gulf. Now they refuse to confirm a director for the Consumer Protection Bureau because the banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies and payday loan companies don't want to see the billions in fine print theft disappear. The Republicans are payed handsomely by the lobbyists to spout this "In Corporations We Trust" dogma. I don't.
Mark Zetzer
9:32 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Garry, if you want evidence of self-regulating markets, just look at ebay. It's completely unregulated as far as I know, yet bad actors are shunned. In fact, only very stellar actors are trusted. If a seller doesn't have 98% or greater positive feedback, they may suffer fewer bids.
What kind of feedback do you think Obamacare will get? I'm sure federal admins will not even solicit feedback, especially when IRS agents are called in to collect! It's central planning that is theoretical, not markets; socialism has never worked as promised, but since it sells itself on emotion all reason is thrown out.
Mark Zetzer
9:40 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Murphy-Solon, I'll try to read the article before posting again. But I can tell you right now that the reason the medical industry overcharges is because most consumers don't directly pay for medical goods and services, they don't get to choose their insurance plan, and even their choice of providers is artificially limited. Only with more choices will come lower medical costs for those who can pay, and more charity providers for those who can't.
Mark Zetzer
9:48 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Murphy-Solon, I agree with you on the Republicans' disastrous 'deregulations'. They're all just more crony capitalism dressed up to look fair. I also stand with Jefferson in opposing a central bank. For the record, I am a Libertarian and rarely vote Republican.
10:56 pm on Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Mark - do your research before you sign onto empty liberal straw man propaganda. "Those evil Republicans" is code for inept governance - but your safe, you're a libertarian. The propagandist media counts on good Americans to back down, and sit down and shut up. The truth is the S&L deal started by in Carter's term w/ Volckers policy but the wheels were in motion since the 1930s for the S&L crisis. Banks wanted them gone anyways- and they got their way. Clinton got the ball rolling in the Banking melt down repealing GlassSteagall and tinkering with the CRA more than needed. Throughout history ONE CONSTANT proves true over and over- and that is THE GOVERNMENT does a sucky job at doing THEIR JOB when it comes to oversight. (Read: Fannie/Freddie) That is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY- no one elses. Your childish blame game generalization usually is nothing more than propagandist lies repeated over and over by a liberal "ends justify the means" censoring media. Nunquam Deditionem, good buddy.
7:18 am on Thursday, April 11, 2013
Danario, you are right that Glass-Steagall was enacted in the waning days of the Clinton Administration. That said, to blame the media while holding Republicans blameless for deregulation is silly. Even today, the banks, mortgage lenders and payday lenders are paying good money to the Republicans to water down Dodd-Frank. Thy have fought the re-enactment of Glass-Steagall and "too big to fail" still exists. The banks and not Fannie/Freddie were the drivers of the mortgage mess. You should read Sheila Bair's book "Bull by the Horns". After reading that book, there's no way you can hold the Republicans harmless.

Hurricanes 6, Panthers 2: Jussi Jokinen collected two goals and an assist and rookie Riley Nash recorded his first career NHL tally and set up two others as Carolina won the opener of its home-and-home set with visiting Florida.
Captain Eric Staal scored twice and Jiri Tlusty registered his 10th goal in 11 contests. Alexander Semin notched three assists and Cam Ward turned aside 22 shots for the Hurricanes, who improved to 1-5-0 versus their Southeast Division rivals this season.
Shawn Matthias and defenseman Filip Kuba scored and Jose Theodore exited the game early with an apparent right knee injury for the struggling Panthers, who have dropped nine of their last 11 contests (2-5-4).
Theodore denied Jokinen with his right pad just over two minutes into the game before crumpling to the ice. Scott Clemmensen (27 saves) came in and promptly yielded three goals on the first nine shots he faced as Carolina claimed a 3-0 lead midway through the opening period.
Nash answered Matthias' fourth goal of the season by converting a 2-on-1 rush at 5:22 of the second period. Nash briefly injured himself after he careened into the boards, but quickly returned to the contest.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Carolina D Joni Pitkanen suffered a lower-body injury during the first period. Pitkanen, who was activated from injured reserve prior to the game, did not return to the contest. ... Jokinen recorded his first two-goal game since Jan. 20, 2012 against Washington. ... Prior to Saturday's outburst, the Hurricanes were outscored 22-8 during the first period.
