The Associated Press reports that young adults will face higher premiums under ObamaCare: Beginning in 2014, most Americans will be required to buy insurance or pay a tax penalty. That’s when premiums for young adults seeking coverage on the individual market would likely climb by 17 percent on average, or roughly $42 a month, according to an analysis of the plan conducted for The Associated Press. The analysis did not factor in tax credits to help offset the increase. The higher costs will pinch many people in their 20s and early 30s who are struggling to start or advance their...

Going 'Ballistic' on the Decade's Worst Movies
Posted by admin / Under Bad Credit
Movie critics are, by definition, folks with strong opinions about movies. But opinions are personal and subjective, so usually critical response to any movie is split between the positive and the negative. Still, there are a few extraordinary films every year that unite reviewers. When they all uniformly praise a movie, it's probably close to a masterpiece. When they all hate a flick, it probably stinks worse than week-old Limburger. RottenTomatoes.com, which aggregates the opinions of over 100 professional movie critics and distills them down to a single numeric "freshness" rating, has compiled the "Worst of the Worst," a list...

Bad, Barney, bad Posted on Sat, Jan. 24, 2009 10:15 PM Troubled OneUnited Bank in Boston didn’t look much like a candidate for aid from the Treasury Department’s bank bailout fund last fall. The Treasury had said it would give money only to healthy banks. But OneUnited had seen most of its capital evaporate and was under attack for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses, including owning a Porsche for its executives’ use. Nonetheless, OneUnited got a $12 million injection from the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program in December. The reason: the intercession of Democratic Rep. Barney Frank,...

Posted by admin / Under Bad Credit
Berlin - German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck on Sunday ruled out the creation of a 'bad bank' to take toxic assets from the nation's major financial institutions.

'How could I take such a proposal to the federal parliament,' he asked. 'The nation would think we've gone crazy.'

The Dimmest Bulb of 2008: Vice-President-elect - Joe Biden There are a lot of reasons why congressional reporters long ago nicknamed the Delaware Democrat as "Senator Gaffe." His performance as Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee demonstrated yet again that Biden is a truly gifted goof. Here's Biden's top five goofs, as rated by About.com's Daniel Kurtzma: 5. "Look, Jon's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the No.1 job facing the middle-class, and it happens to be, as Barak says, a three letter word: jobs, J-O-B-S, jobs." 4.
