Re: Introduction to Angular 2

When I first started the web server as instructed at about 24 minutes in, I got this error:
'npm ERR! Failed at the angular-helloworld@1.0.0 start script 'concurrent "npm run tsc:w" "npm run lite"'.'
I found this post from Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/qu....

In short the solution was to run 'npm install -g' for concurrently, lite-server and typescript. That seemed to solve the problem. One proposed answer suggested doing this, then deleting the node-modules folder and running 'npm install' again. I did not take these additional 2 steps and it seems ok, but maybe down the road will cause problems?

When it comes to politicina's plans, promises, etc., specifics are irrelevant. What is important is what is their thinking, or philosophy if you will. So my question is this: is it BHO's ultimate aim to nationalize the system? If so then what he proposes is merely the prelude to that in the same way that he sems to intend to achieve the holy gril of the left: lock in higher taxk rates.

Rob, thanks for the kind of insightful commentary that is hard to find these days. You are also correct that the next shoe to drop WILL be from defaults on credit card debt.

The important thing to consider from a business perspective is that business taxes are a major driver of business development and activity. Keeping them low, as McCain wants to do, is the only sane way to 'incentivize' Ireland became the Celtic tiger by using the EU money to boost secondary education, then keeping business taxes low. When the ascension countries, Rumsfeld's new Europe, joined the EU earlier this decade most kept business taxes in the 10%-15% range and are experiencing much greater growth the Euro zone (old Europe). They are so successful in this that France and Germany have been complaining and are now asking for uniform tax policies across the EU.

My point is that this is the only good way to incentivize job, as well a business, creation is to make doing so inherently more profitable. Using other means leads to adding jobs, creating businesses, for other than solid business reasons. When I was a financial analyst at a Fortune 500, we regularly did ROI analyses that took the tax rates into account as to whether a given investment was profitable or not. However overall the investment needed to be worth doing on the merits. To have included tax credits, direct payments, etc, would have led to investments that obviously could not stand on its own merits.

Currently the problem is from subprimes and CDS's. Nancy Pelosi is correct that risk has been nationalized and gain privatized, however that is due to the insistence that Fannie and Freddie remain GSE's, but unregulated. However that is due to her party’s insistence that those GSE's continue subsidizing these firms through guarantees and unnaturally low interest rates. Republicans tried to address this problem, but, when blocked by the Democrats, did not make is a priority.
