National Health Care: How Small Business Will Fare

As the debate about health care continues, I find myself thinking about other countries with national health plans and worrying that we’re going to become like them. On the one hand maybe we can be as sleek and efficient as the Swedes. On the other hand I fear suffering from blackened teeth and a pasty complexion like the Brits.

What My Dad Taught Me About The Economy

When I got married, over twenty years ago, my dad gave me three good pieces of advice. “Son,” he said, putting an arm around my shoulder. “Getting married will be the last decision you will ever make.” This was true. “And remember,” he continued. ” That if your wife is happy…everyone in your family will be happy.” Also correct. “Finally,” my dad said. “During the course of your married life things will never be as bad as they seem.

Even in this economy. My problems are my responsibility.
