Last week President Obama announced (on TV, of course) that he was blessing and signing new legislation call the PAYGO bill that ordered the House and Senate not to pass any new spending bills without a corresponding cut in another program or a new tax to pay for the cost of the bill. “We must do what every American family and small business does every day.

Forbes released their list of America’s 20 Most Miserable Cities today. Their “Misery Measure” takes into account: “unemployment, taxes (both sales and income), commute times, violent crime and how its pro sports teams have fared over the past two years.
