Oh, there are still stupid investors, but they aren’t FRIGGIN MORONS !!
I think people would buy electric cars if they could be powered directly with a solar panel rather than with a toxic battery that empties its charges before the car can get out of your neighborhood.
The basic physics problem is that no solar panel generates enough power to move itself let alone the car and you too.
What we need is a mandate that says that X % of all cars must be powered by solar sails. Congress can change the laws of physics. They gave us an extra hour of sunlight last Sunday didn't they? If they can stop the Earth from rotating for an hour once a year then they can do this too. I BELIEVE!

Sure, if you CANT prove that they wont find something that no one yet knows exists then it must exist but we just don't know it yet, right? There is a MAJOR flaw in this logic.
When was the last time the federal government fixed anything?
How often does the federal govt create big azz mistakes?
Then tries to fix the big azz mistake and makes it even worse?
I rest my case!
WRT the well-being of the nation, I agree.
Just limiting the discussion to the unemployment rate, Obama can argue that the current official unemployment rate is better than 10% (October 2009). My point is that such statistics eventually improve, even if govt. policies are impeding economic growth.
I am still convinced as I have been for 3 years that there is no happy ending
I would like to believe that Obama will lose and a GOP POTUS would slow the spending, but you saw what happened when the GOP voted to reform entitlements.
yeah.......we saw : )
I don't mind responsible (and I do not consider "climate science" responsible) research into new energy technology. What I don't accept is treating "alternate energy" approaches as if they were proven in the marketplace, and paying huge amounts to favored companies who who risk little or none of their own money, even after spectacular disasters doing the same thing.
political payoffs......nuff said.
stupid investors have been culled from the herd...
bubble after bubble to keep the economy spinnin couldnt last forever, the money has been successfully funneled to fewer and fewer hands that are unwilling to 'invest' until its a matter of buyin up the lil guys...
great example of tyranny...i have yet to find a person that understands the logic, or agrees with the concept of 'daylight savings'...it appears to be simply a conditioning mechanism for the power of the suits...
as long as individuals want/need to pursue it, fine...just dont spend my [our] precious resources on it unless it is feasible, under real *science* definitions, to provide for a Constitutional purpose...
as far as the raw numbers in the economy...we've past the point of being informed in real time with real truth...we will know in a few years how todays policies have turned out, and itll be worse than we imagined...
even the aforementioned *bubbles* were nothing short of a death spiral and only served to feather some very powerful nests...sure a few individuals made out like bandits, but as with all forms of gambling, if ya stay at the table, the house WILL get its $$$s back...
most lottery winners end up broke too...
If you deficit spend while cutting taxes it will have a short term stimulative effect and when that money is cut off it will have the opposite, at least short term. That is why POTUSs always deficit spend while cutting taxes in an re-election year.
Furthermore a (deficit) stimulant is like caffeine, it doesn't actually solve any problems it just borrows from the future, but that is perfect if you are trying to get re-elected. And the government deficit spends so much already small % increases cant have a big effect.
It's like a married guy who doesnt get a raise running up the credit cards to show his wife things are improving, well they are short term.
