We need an government war on infrastructure. Similar to what Reagan did with military spending in the early 1980's. Get all those construction workers back to work. Are you saying the Reagan economic boom- the greatest peacetime economic expansion in human history- was driven by military spending? Gimme a break. Reagan took money from the public sector and let the private sector keep it and direct it. Reagan tripled the deficit. Of course it was government spending. We had the largest increase in government workers and government contractors since WW2. How do you explain TRIPLING the deficit during, as you say, "the greatest peacetime economic expansion in human history"?

The way to fix the mess isn't to move it around with a broom, it's to take a fire hose to it. Full repeal is becoming more probable by the second- led by Democrats. In fact, even with a full repeal of the bill- Democrats are looking at a repeat of 2010. Or worse...
The mere idea of ObamaCare triggered the TEA-nami of 2010. Now it's here. And the news gets worse and worse every day.

All this mess has been coming down the pike for decades and its all finally hit. As far as Reagon, he was the death knell for unions that kept some semblance of wage equity until that point. When big business saw him break the controllers union that was the beginning of the end for organized labor and its been downhill ever since. Like all attempts at central planning, government-union attempts at price-fixing wages higher than the market was doomed to implode at some point anyway. The longest holdout? Detroit. And we know how that turned out. I totally understand wanting to believe you can actually have something for nothing- but deep down you have to know, don't you? Again, I understand some people enjoyed union dominance and all the benefits that came with it- but they did have to know, didn't they? They did have to know it was coming to an end at some point. When you look around, and you recognize that your union job pays more than market for the same job- and you realize that more and more states are backing away from compulsory union contracts and back towards the individual right to work for a mutually agreed upon price- then, as they say- you ought to have made hay while the sun was shining.

But you're wrong, too. Central planning is folly. This should be patently obvious to anyone with two brain cells sparking by now. The fact of the matter is the entire notion that "we" need to do anything is wrong. The market needs to be left alone, and if the market directs resources to supply more electricity, or build more rails-- or 'healthcare development'- or anything else. I understand what you're saying- economic growth is how you grow the revenue to the treasury to pay for whatever- but history shows that spending will always outpace the private sector's ability to grow. And attempts at directing the private sector by supplying 'resources' actually hinders rather than helps. At this point, what is needed is a HUGE DOSE of HUMILITY on the party of Democrats; Democrats need to swallow their pride, repeal this monstrosity, and then address the real problems with healthcare- most all of which were brought on by Government in the first place. ObamaCare is no longer an abstraction. There's no time for a "fix" or "reform". It simply has to go.

So much is manufactured overseas where are you going to find domestic capacity for some of this stuff to be made? We cut our legs off in the name of greed. Yes, yes we did. Greedy unions and the short sighted politicians addicted to union money priced Americans out of the labor market, regulated industry out of business, and you and your union cohorts supported the Democrats that did this to us, all because you wanted more money for your labor than the fair market value you provided. This is what chickens coming home to roost looks like.

All govt money in a place like Texas will do is put Hispanics to work. They have run the younger white and black men out of construction so it won't help them. Everything is off balance. Even Europe is realizing they let to many people come in and places like Qatar which runs on imported labor is cracking down. When your own people can't find jobs letting people run your borders just undermines your system and distorts it. HISPANICS OR MEXICAN NATIONALS = HARD WORKING MY FATHER WAS AN INTERNATIONAL BANKER AND TRAVELED TO MEXICO CITY MANY TIMES..WATCH MEXICO GROW..THINK ABOUT IT..NAFTA IS LARGER THEN THE EU.. WE DO NOT HAVE THE PIIGS!! ALL THREE ARE A++ CREDIT...ALL THREE TAKE CARE OF THE POPULATION AND WHAT THE EU HAS NO GROWTH ...NAFTA IS DYNAMIC..JUST WAITE UNTIL WE GET HEAVY RAIL 350,000 LBS FROM MEXICO STATE TO ALASKA!!! Yes..Mexican Steel and Canadian Heavy Oil = $26 savings on every barrel of oil delivered to the East cost.!!!! Also LPG may b e trasported in the oil CTC-111A Tank Cars. I thought it would interesting to see how few jobs were filled in West Texas by Nationals..They have there own demands for skilled drillers and tool pushers!!!! Just a thought, BiMetalAuPt

Never said ObamaCare was Central Planning...Looks like none-planning ..All I had talked about was the effect of the spending...Where is the money going to be spent.... Central planning is folly. AGREE I did talk about money supply not central planning....Now for how money is used.. OR SAVED... Saving rate is now at 4.9% Y/Y.. up from zero 2006!!!!( from FRED) Just a thought, BiMetalAuPt

Not one Democrat in Washington blames Reagan for anything. It is still all Bush's fault. Only dj blames Reagan for anything here at P&M.

50,000 is fewer than 500,000. Even you have to admit that is a heck of a miss on the numbers. I wonder how many of the 50,000 are the hard to insure people, due to health issues. So much for the broad base of young healthy members to carry the brunt of the program and make cost manageable. Yes, I know we have no way of knowing who has signed up yet. Maybe they are all young single healthy people making $150,000 a year, who are die hard Democrats who want to do their part for the program.

So without unions labor can't make enough money to live and can't buy the products offered because they don't make enough to participate. There goes the middle class. They can only spend for "goods" so long then they have no money to buy them. So when you kill labor which is the majority of this country, you kill production, demand and everything else. That 1% of millionaires and billionaires don't spend enough to support it all. So be happy labor is dead, now what? Again, it's hard to make enough money to live when you're out of a job, too. This argument is unworkable. You can't elevate your lifestyle and then tell your employer you need more money. If you want more money, or a better lifestyle, you can't have it by demanding it, or extorting it. You have to create value in the market. For example- I've been a catastrophe claims adjuster for several years now. It pays VERY well- ridiculously well for a job that you don't even need a college degree (and in many states, you don't even need a license) to do. The BLS stats don't reflect a tenth of what I've been able to generate with this. But it's a ticking clock- a closing window. The insurance companies dream is to get rid of all of us- they want to adjust every claim from a desk in phase I of getting rid of us, and then in phase II they want to outsource it. So, instead of fighting this, I'm helping them achieve their dream- because the fact is, I don't want to field scope claims, either. It's too much damn work. So, I'm developing technology to automate the scope using drones and robots. I've raised $12 million so far, and we are in the middle of field-testing our first fully-automated field scope- complete with a system to feed data to already existing software automatically filling it in and totally cutting out the human element to deliver a stunningly accurate, full and complete report in a quarter of the time it would take an adjuster, and since there's effectively no labor component- if it's a larger property, larger loss- it can take a bit longer without costing more money-- in other words, we'll have the ability to quote a flat rate regardless of the size of the loss. Instead of paying a field adjuster $1,500 to $2,000 or worse- T&E, and taking weeks to see a report, we envision a day when the Allstate drone automatically comes to your property, drops a payload of smaller robots to preform a fully automated, wildly detailed scope of the property all for about $200 to $300 bucks. Our employees will build, and service the technology. For difficult scopes, and exception report will be generated-- and an adjuster will review it from his desk, modify the report and/or determine if a field adjuster needs to re-inspect. But for all those standard roof, siding, windows claims from dry hail events- no more cat teams. No more adjusters. No more fee schedules. Just reports: on time, and right the first time. Am I going to f*** myself out of a job? I sure hope so. I won't eliminate an entire field of work- but I'll revolutionize it. The days of the Independent Adjusting firm with its roster of cowboy cat adjusters from Texas swooping in and taking huge chunks off the bottom line of insurance companies, doing shoddy work that needs to be reinspected, inflating the claim to bump up to the next highest fee on the schedule? Over.

...continuing on- this is the direction the industry is going. For too long, unions have gathered together in their little myopic grievance meetings blinding themselves to the changes in industry, refusing to educate, and elevate their workforce. Again, Detroit is a prime example- artificially high wages caused otherwise ambitious, intelligent people to stagnate because who can say no to a job that pays $90K a year out of high school when college grads are starting at $35K? Now, it's all over- and those straight out of high school factory workers have no job- and no skills. Pretty much the industry standard for insurance claims estimating software is Xactimate. At this year's Xactimate user conference-- where most of the highly paid, opportunistic cat adjusters will NOT be (but I will be)-- one of the speakers is Missy Cummings. Who is she? Well, some of you watch the Daily Show, right? Google her. Or check out this year's Xactimate (well, technically next year's-- 2014) User Conference: www.xactware.com/en-us/user-conference/?SFCID=70130000000WxB2&LS=767In every industry- in every career or job you can have- there are trends. You can deny the trend, fight the trend, go with the flow, become an early adapter, or innovate and help drive the trend.

Let's see you were a real estate megamogul and now you are going to be drone (hum like the play on words) megamogul. Hey got to give you credit for going after the brass ring. Still its one of those attitudes of I'll get mine the rest of you bedamned. Well that does fit right in so maybe you will make it. Anyone with knowledge of the marketplace can tune into relevant information instead of entertaining themselves and tuning out after work. My attitude is this: if I don't change, I'm going to march off the cliff with the rest of the herd. The first time I knew there was opportunity was when I met a cat adjuster who made over $600K in a year in the aftermath of Katrina. I knew at that moment, that there's simply no way the same value could not be provided to the insurance companies that paid that money (and more- because adjusters typically get paid 60% to 70% of the fee schedule paid to the IA firms they work for) for far less money-- and not just cheaper, but better and faster. I saw that dumb old fat happy rich Texas dude and I saw opportunity- to shave costs, provide better service, and do it faster. What's "wrong" or "immoral" about that? I frankly think HIS attitude sucked. He readily admitted he was "overpaid" but didn't feel an obligation to give any of it back, so I'm going to see to it the insurance industry-- to whom we all pay premiums (HELLO COST OF LIVING ANYONE?!?) get that money back and the claims process is improved, premiums are stay lower, fraud is reduced, accuracy is improved. I'm not looking to game the system and get all I can for as long as I can to deceive people like WebMD did with ObamaCare: www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/12/webmds-healthy-deal-with-obamacare-millions-of-dol/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS

Paul, my friend... I realize the font buttons are fun to play with, but anything larger than size three to emphasize a serious point: just... no. We don't need giant billboards to figure out Pres. Obama is in trouble.

FYI- I'll probably post something as the time gets closer, but I could be disappearing for a bit. I'm slated to travel to the Philippines for claims work there- we are waiting to get the final contracts signed, and get everyone's security clearance, and clearance to enter the country from the government there.

so got our insurance information for 2014. same 2 plans as this year. same provider.
PPO - 10% increase
HSA - no increase
since I pay $60 per paycheck (2 weeks) for family coverage (which is the highest cost) and the PPO cost was maybe $100 per paycheck, I don't think a 10% increase is a big deal.
also no change in deductibles, and co-insurance.
what exactly was I supposed to be up in arms about?

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has decided to co-sponsor legislation from Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) that would require insurance companies to continue offering their existing health care plans, becoming the most high-profile non-red state Democrat to buck party lines on the Affordable Care Act. Feinstein said in a statement Tuesday that she has received nearly 31,000 calls, emails, and letters from Californians detailing insurance-policy cancellations and premium spikes that have come with the implementation of Obamacare. She thinks Landrieu's bill is a way to fix that. "This bill provides a simple fix to a complex problem," Feinstein said in the statement. "The Affordable Care Act is a good law, but it is not perfect. I believe the Landrieu bill is a commonsense fix that will protect individuals in the private insurance market from being forced to change their insurance plan. I hope Congress moves quickly to enact it." Among other things, the "Keeping the Affordable Care Act Promise Act" would "grandfather" in all health insurance plans that existed as of Dec. 31, 2013, not March 23, 2010, meaning that insurers could continue to offer a number of plans that they have been forced to cancel under the Affordable Care Act. Read more: www.businessinsider.com/dianne-feinstein-obamacare-keep-your-plan-bill-2013-11#ixzz2kXmqNwgbso they are adding an additional bill....not changing the ACA law? lots of democrats are feeling the heat..... will the ACA survive? and does the right get any credit for trying to shut it down earlier?

Wind energy... Third world shit. Paul, I am in talk with the German Firm of Enercon to buy 4 E-126 7,5 Meg Watt Turbines for our Kermit Ranch.. Great market for Kermit for behind the meter use..Great use of Lithium..for 24-7 power for the oil patch!!!. How about H2 production from water? Also we have Line to Houston to sell into the competitive Texas wind energy market. Just a thought, BiMetalAuPt
