“It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday.
“We just wanted to choose a really large number.”

WOW! I mean OMG!

I’ve read alot of reviews on the DiNovo Mini but none really pertained to OSX because of its unsupportedness from Logitech. I did find alot of people who said it worked so I decided to buy it anyway. I have a 2.0 C2D MacBook hooked up to my 60″ Sony KDSR60XBR1 Television. This is the main reason I wanted to get this mostly for casual browsing and for Plex navigation. My final verdect, IT WORKS AWESOME! Was simple to pair via bluetooth, click to discover devices, hit the big red connect on the bottom of the DiNovo Mini enter in some numbers, and we’re paired! The Keyboard Setup Assistant comes up asking you to choose keys and now you’re ready! Click to read the rest!! …click here to read more

Four reform steps will have capital flowing with no government bureaucracy and
no taxpayer burden.

First, suspend the mark-to-market rule which is
insanely driving companies to unnecessary bankruptcy. If short selling can be
suspended on 799 stocks (an arbitrary number and a warning of the rule by
bureaucrats which is coming under the Paulson plan), the mark-to-market rule can
be suspended for six months and then replaced with a more accurate three year
rolling average mark-to-market.

Second, repeal Sarbanes-Oxley. It failed
with Freddy Mac. It failed with Fannie Mae. It failed with Bear Stearns. It
failed with Lehman Brothers. It failed with AIG. It is crippling our
entrepreneurial economy. I spent three days this week in Silicon Valley.
Everyone agreed Sarbanes-Oxley was crippling the economy. One firm told me they
would bring more than 20 companies public in the next year if the law was
repealed. Its Sarbanes-Oxley’s $3 million per startup annual accounting fee that
is keeping these companies private.

Third, match our competitors in
China and Singapore by going to a zero capital gains tax. Private capital will
flood into Wall Street with zero capital gains and it will come at no cost to
the taxpayer. Even if you believe in a static analytical model in which lower
capital gains taxes mean lower revenues for the Treasury, a zero capital gains
tax costs much less than the Paulson plan. And if you believe in a historic
model (as I do), a zero capital gains tax would lead to a dramatic increase in
federal revenue through a larger, more competitive and more prosperous economy.

Fourth, immediately pass an “all of the above” energy plan designed to
bring home $500 billion of the $700 billion a year we are sending overseas. With
that much energy income the American economy would boom and government revenues
would grow
