Recent news round-up
Good News
- Obama inches ahead in key voter polls There seems to be an article like this almost every time I do one of these round-ups.
- Iran says saboteurs cut power to nuclear plant
- Study: Tax Cuts for the Rich Don't Spur Growth I could have told them that. If you give a larger after-tax income to people who already have more money than they will ever need, their immediate tendancy is usually to spend the extra, mostly on luxury items that generate relatively few jobs. On the other hand, government spending tends to create jobs, either directly (like teachers and fire fighters), or indirectly (like building bridges or high speed rail).
- Complaints about automated calls up sharply We get tons of them. If we don't recognize the Caller ID, we let it go to the answering machine, which is on 24/7.
