Quote of The Day: The Washington Post
Fed's capacity to stimulate economy limited...
The answers lie not in kick-starting old engines of growth such as housing and consumer spending. Instead the challenge is to identify and invest in new opportunities and equip the American people -- through education, tax reform and entitlement reform -- to take advantage of them. This is a much harder job, one that will require the concerted attention of public and private sector leaders, at federal and state levels, over many years. Mr. Bernanke can help by keeping the economy functioning in the meantime. But Fed policy is no substitute for a reshaping of the economy.

Word of the Day: book google
Like back in the day...
book google: when you need to figure out something, so you look it up in a book, like in the olden times, when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

Quote of the Day: Jon Talton
In a country where high self-esteem is unearned...
They say the old end up in another country even if they stay where they are. Such a realization is coming younger now, at least to those who are paying attention.
The popular story concerns the opposite direction: The supposed postponed adulthood of Americans with twenty-and even thirtysomethings living at home with their parents, etc. The New York Times Magazine devoted a long thumbsucker asking, "Why are so many people taking so long to grow up." Talk about a foreign country: My generation couldn't wait to get out on their own. I can't even imagine.
[T]his current "won't grow up" phenomenon is rooted in privilege. It also includes many middle-class young adults who are living off the wealth that their parents inherited from a generation of Americans that actually made things and fully participated in the fruits of the dying middle class. The latter will not last.
[S]till, it makes you wonder about the future of a society where infantilization and sloth are becoming not just acceptable, but a norm to be celebrated and studied and explained by professors and shrinks.
