Higher rates will be needed in order to pull in investors - especially for those cities and states that are at most risk.<br /><br />HaleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-34847169556741545042011-02-23T11:01:28.554-05:002011-02-23T11:01:28.554-05:00I don't know how Brooks keeps his jobs.

They could do something simple such as float municipal bonds.

I, along with many others seemed to get ahead of ourselves and do just that. Coming down is hard to do. The democratic party being a counterweight to big business is an advertising slogan or perhaps a 'perception' of the brand. I think that it may be way nostalgic to think the dems are going to do anything for us. Two majorities and a mandate and we ran the wrong way.

I had to go to work, but I guess the shutdown lasted for around 2-3 hours. Apparently the volume of responses, mostly negative, overwhelmed the comments "editors." I wonder if Brooks, or the Times editorial board ever read the comments. If they did, they would have some idea of the anger that dwells in those of us that never dreamed that American society could regress so quickly into a parody of the Guilded Age.jhandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-18136792622119545692011-02-22T20:08:48.756-05:002011-02-22T20:08:48.756-05:00Your talents as a makeup artist are only exceeded ...Your talents as a makeup artist are only exceeded by your talents as a writer. I choked on my cocoa laughing so hard! <br /><br />While Brooks gets your goat, it is Obama that makes me livid. Would you do us a favor and humor us someday by applying some makeup on a picture of our precious President Obama who seems to have gone AWOL in these days of turmoil at home and abroad. <br /><br />I guess he is too busy campaigning for re-election or seeking support of corporations to speak on behalf of the riffraff like Wisconsin teachers or Middle Eastern youth struggling for freedom. One of those photos with his chin in the air would be a good start. Maybe he needs a crown? <br /> <br />Obama is so infatuated with himself that he makes me want to puke! He already has caused half the Democratic party to sink out of sight in the last election due to his botching of health care, and next election it will be finished off completely, thanks to that Trojan Horse Republican. He is a disaster!<br /><br />I am sick, sick, sick of him. The only two counterweights to Big Business' influence are the Democratic Party and Unions. Thanks to Obama the Republican, the Democratic Party is weakened to the point of uselessness, and the Unions are under strategic major assault. <br /><br />I want to scream!!!!!Anne Lavoienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-1069629907980783582011-02-22T18:04:25.746-05:002011-02-22T18:04:25.746-05:00Brooks usually drives me nuts, and it's true t...Brooks usually drives me nuts, and it's true that I've become somewhat inured to the predictable rise in my own blood pressure every time I read his column.<br />But I do believe that the last five parapgraphs of his column today went a good ways in voicing the heart of our own argument about fairness. Not the distance, but a reasonable stroll into justice, however brief, which is far better than what he usually offers, AND, I suspect, reflective of where the polls are at, that is, 61% in favor of the protesting workers.<br />Having said that, Karen's response in the Times' comments was brilliant.
