The Treasury Department should block severance packages for Fannie and Freddie corporate executives.
Lehman Brothers should have been bailed out by the federal government.
Bush Administration policies have had a negative impact on the economy.
The U.S. is not undergoing the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. I don't think so yet. I recall pictures of people in lines....we don't queue up quite yet. We're still all over the place... Mayhaps so?
Starbucks brews a better-tasting coffee than Dunkin' Donuts.
Tobacco companies should not be liable for smoke-related health problems.
Call centers should be required to disclose the physical location of their employees.
Supply and demand is having the greatest impact on rising oil prices.
There is not a "Housing Bubble" in American cities. not anymore!
Yahoo! should have accepted Microsoft's bid. MS's proposal was way overboard what I think Yahoo's value really is.
Obese travelers should not pay more for airline tickets.
The government should offer cash rewards to citizens for developing new technology.

Movie theaters should have the right to block cell phone signals. I guess so, as long as the squelch doens't go beyond the borders of the theatre.

The U.S. should not increase the cap on visas for skilled workers. Don't we have enough non-citizens here already? Make the lazy get up off their ass and pick some cherries for once. Oh, skilled? Well, of course we should send them all back home. If we can't cut it ourselves, we don't deserve anything.
The option to strike should not be available to a union of public employees. If they want to better themseleves and their working conditions, they should find a new job elsewhere. Make it happen instead of bitching about it.
The government should not provide financial assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure. I don't think an immature civilization like ours will grow any by hand-holding and coddling its denizens all the time. Know the rules before you play ball. If you strike out, great that you tried, but you're still out friend. If I were in a position
