BELL, Calif. – The City Council in this small, blue-collar suburb of Los Angeles intends to ask three administrators whose salaries total more than $1.6 million to resign Thursday or face possible firing.

The officials include Chief Administrative Officer Robert Rizzo, who earns $787,637 a year — nearly twice the pay of President Barack Obama — for overseeing one of the poorest towns in Los Angeles County.

iš sportinio intereso pasidomėjau skaičių suma, sudedant pašalpas ir visokias lengvatas (nes jei kažkur nemoki, tai tolygu, kad gauni)...ir...dirbti ne tik kad neapsimokėjo, bet apsimokėjo nedirbti. Visokie komunaliniai mokesčiai analogiškai taip pat buvo sukilę nenormaliai, santykyje su to periodo pajamomis.
Dabar nebeskaičiuosiu iš sportinio intereso Teskaičiuoja tie, kas moka Bet gali gautis panašiai

Na gerai - kokiu būdu išsisprendė ši problema valstybėje ir darbo biržoje, aš nežinau ir žinoti man nebuvo reikalo. Bet juk dar gyvi tie, iš kitos barikadų pusės, juk mažiau nei 10 metų tepraėjo...Tai jei situacija absoliučiai tokia pat, priežastys aiškios, sprendimai jau buvo kažkokie..., kažkaip tai buvo išspręsta,kodėl vėl lipame ant to pačio grėblio?

Praėjusią vasarą kažkiek ilsėjausi Latvijoje, todėl teko pirkti maisto produktus. Stebino žymiai aukštesnės kainos, net tuose pačiuose prekybos centruose.

This is where we have a problem. The worshippers of Keynes, that rule the country, are pissed off at you. Don’t you realize that government spending of your money, borrowed from the Chinese, with the bill passed to your grandchildren, was supposed to reinvigorate your animal spirits. They handed you other people’s money to buy cars and homes and what do you do? You stop buying cars and homes as soon as they stop paying you to buy cars and homes. You ungrateful bastards.

* For 2006-2009, real GDP decreased at an average annual rate of 0.2 percent; in the previously
published estimates, the growth rate of real GDP was 0.0 percent. From the fourth quarter of
2006 to the first quarter of 2010, real GDP increased at an average annual rate of 0.2 percent; in
the previously published estimates, real GDP had increased at an average annual rate of 0.4
percent.

* For the revision period, the change in real GDP was revised down for all 3 years: 0.2 percentage
point for 2007, 0.4 percentage point for 2008, and 0.2 percentage point for 2009.

The world changed in September 2008. We call it a regime shift. It's a move from one (good) equilibrium to another (bad) equilibrium. Statistical models that worked well in the old regime don’t work in the new regime. We hustled to adjust our models, but admitted that with limited experience in the new regime, we were less confident in our forecasts.

Some economists didn’t recognize the regime shift. They went about their business using the same old models in a new world. Comments about the length of a typical recession or about how sharp declines are followed by rapid recoveries were clear signals that the speaker didn’t understand the situation.

Some economists were fooled by the stimulus. The rules of accounting cause government spending to be reflected as an increase in economic activity. Stimulus plans such as Cash for Clunkers and tax credits for home purchases moved the timing of transactions, artificially reinforcing the direct spending impacts. Similarly, bailouts and foreclosure prevention programs postponed the recognition of losses.
