Choices and Outcomes

Tyler Cowen writes a good article, but may be equally as famous for not saying as much as what he does say. Tax rates will never rise to a crushing level, a prospect neither the Economy or the Taxpayer will abide. The Tax rates he mentions could only occur if We waited to the last year to begin paying the bills, something like the Credit Crisis; where Everyone put the bills on the Cards, until their was no Credit limit left. Means Testing for Benefits is Crap; Accounting of Medicare Payments as Income is not with the ability of the indigent Poor able to apply for Medicaid. Switching Medicaid to the Federal budget is wrong-headed; Health Care savings will never be found by Washington bureaucrats. There will always be hiding of Assets in Means Testing, but efforts to detect the fraud is simply added Expense, and does nothing to lighten the burden; plan the Programs to eliminate the benefits of this evasion. Tyler finishes with a Claim that balancing the Budget is popular, but that cutting Benefits is not. This Role would actually be reversed, even though it doesn’t actually appear to exist, if Recipients had to record the Benefit payments as taxable Income.

My Question with this Report is why Ford did not invoke these Plans 28 months ago? They might have believed that Americans had to be paying an equivalent price for Gasoline as Europeans before any Switch, but they could see the mid-Truck crisis on the horizon, and already have formulated the Transfer plans. This delay of Game can be squarely placed on Mismanagement, and there needs be greater Stockholder Voice at both Annual and Board meetings. My Guess Estimate readings would suggest that overinflation of Profits projections cost about 8% of residual Profits from Sales in the overall Corporate structure, even before the vast Payout of Management Bonus and Stock grants. I am still an advocate of only Cash bonuses which are a percentage of Salaries, directly linked to the Profits Percentage claimed; 20% Profits should gain a 20% bonus based on Salary, no Profits Percentage means no bonuses for Management.

Bryan Caplan refuses the rational analysis. What are the rational States of Outcome?

1) Murder of NA by II
2) Recovery of NA and mutual friendship.
3) A potential State of Enslavement
4) A sexual relationship–Consensual or Forced.

There are four Expected Outcomes, only of which One seems beneficial, though it may extend to Two depending on the interrelationship of the Two individuals. Option 1 seems unlikely of completion, due to the need for Speed, and the natural disinclinations of the Participants. Option 2, on the other hand, would seem like an equally distant completion mechanism, due to the potential lack of cultural affiliation and affection. Option 3 would seem the most likely event in question, except that the sexual exuberance of at least one of the Participants would dictate a combination of Options 3&4 over time. Myself, I would rather be alone with my visions, and go insane in isolation and Peace. Did I forget the last Option: NA killing II? lgl
