Net neutrality for dummies

rocketc — Sun, 02 May 2010 16:55:16 +0000

The arguments for and against so-called “net-neutrality” are mind-numbing in complexity – almost impossible to untangle in anything less than a mid-sized book. I have read extensively on the subject, but still cannot completely grasp all of the implications. I can only challenge you to do some research on your own to see exactly where [...]

This was a tough video to post, but the reality is true. We are pushing all of our debt onto our children. Personally, I wouldn’t mind taking on a little more pain today if I thought my children would be spared at least some discomfort in the future.

How many taxpayers

. . . does it take to pay the salary and benefits for one government worker? No offense to those of you who are on the government payroll, but eventually you are going to have trouble cashing your paycheck.

My wife just applied for the Discover More card

rocketc — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 21:11:29 +0000

My wife needed a new credit card that came with a good 0% APR balance transfer offer. She applied for the Discover More card primarily because of the 12 month introductory balance transfer offer, but also for the 5% Cashback Bonus® in categories such as travel, gas, restaurants, movies, and more. We use a flight [...]

Milton Friedman – The Great Depression Myth

Long video, amazing truth. Milton Friedman was right and still is right, but once again, our descent into socialism is not about helping people, it is about collecting more power for the federal government.

Healthcare IS about government control

Representative John Dingell from Michigan let the cat out of the bag. We here at Rocket Finance knew all along that government programs are about control. Maybe a few more of the “frogs being slowly boiled” will wake up: Probably not, but it was worth a try.

I used to believe in the War on Drugs

rocketc — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:52:23 +0000

But the more I research the issue, the more I realize that the libertarians have it right. I support the legalization of many drugs that are now illegal, so long as legalization is accompanied by strong penalties for people who hurt others while under the influence of those drugs. This goes against the policies enacted [...]
