5221 [lbo-talk] negligible and stupid -- rank: 1000

5223 [lbo-talk] EFCA - in the bag? -- rank: 1000
Ed Hyman's guy in Washington, Andy LaPerriere, reports this morning that the AFL-CIO's top lobbyist now claims they've got the 60 Senate votes necessary to pass card check, once Al Franken takes his seat, which seems almost certain. The crucial vote is Arlen Specter, the only Republican to have voted for it before. His state is heavily unionized, but he faces a primary challenge from the right. There's also pressure on a few Dems, esp Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, the home state of Wal-Mar ...

5226 [lbo-talk] IT innovation and "the Markets" -- rank: 1000
On Mar 4, 2009, at 9:42 PM, John Thornton wrote: > I'm curious how central planning can gauge demand and price. > Seems to me markets do that fairly well. There are a lot of misses in markets.

Eisenhower, quoted in part today by Paul Krugman] http://www.eisenhowermemorial.org/presidential-papers/first-term/documents/1147.cfm Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.
