Saving Social Security with Personal Retirement Accounts



PSAs have been given a bad rap in the last few years based on fear and desires to retain political power. It's high time to have a reasonable debate on the issue.

PC Issues, Still Working it out

I'm trying to avoid this, but I may need to purchase a new PC.  Here's what's going on:
  • Purchased this PC 5+ years ago and the Hard drive went kaput two weeks ago
  • I ordered a new hard drive and RAM card last week that just came in today
  • Installed that hardware, loaded windows with a generic boot disk
  • Found that I don't have my Windows XP product key (from 5 years ago)
  • Microsoft Customer Service pretty much tells me I'm out of luck without the original boot disk
  • I have 30 days to find a copy of XP with the code
  • The audio/video driver install disks are missing too, so I have no sound at all
So basically, I have 30 days to post while I scramble trying to find the things I need to get my PC back to 100%  Any suggestions to get me there would be greatly appreciated

Keynesian Economics Is Wrong: Economic Growth Causes Consumer Spending, ...



Via Ed Morrissey @Hotair.com:

Think of it as a Cash for Clunkers economic plan on a larger scale. The intention is to fool people into spending money in order to give the illusion of growth, and have that illusion somehow become reality through a process best known as FM; the M stands for “magic,” and you can guess what the F means. The problem is that the interventions run out of steam quickly without addressing the actual issues of income and asset value that drives organic consumer spending. Instead of increasing the size of the pie, we just cut it in different shapes.
The policies implemented in the early 1980s, in contrast, focused on generating growth in investment and income by reducing the government’s role in the economy and their bite out of it. That approach succeeded in long-term growth and prosperity by increasing the size of the pie. Critics scoff at this as “trickle-down economics,” but as the last two years showed, the Reagan approach worked while Keynesian Obamanomics has mainly generated nothing but short-term gimmicks and long-term stagnation
