The Cold Fusion Ping List

Zatso? We’ve been trying to get a innovation based start-up funded for years.
Of course innovation is key, but who wants to spend the time and take the risks when the government gives every indication that it will put road blocks in your way, and punish you if you are successful?
The last country that got itself in a strategically hopeless situation and had nothing left but hope of innovation to redress its losses on the battlefield was Nazi Germany in 1944. After screwing up royally all the German leaders can tell their people was pin their hopes on German science and new wonder weapons. Germany lost. Old Asian saying - “before you plan to defeat another country, make sure your nation possess the ability to be unbeatable”.
So our best elite minds think the only hope left to the huge debt and economic depression is more debt and hope that innovation will dig us out?????!!!!

Heck, Obama said we need people out there “inventing stuff”. Then he can send in the EPA, NLRB, DOJ, and Commerce Department to destroy it before it gets off the ground.
How? This is the answer:
1. Federal budget to pay the interest on it’s debt ($700 billion)
2. Pay $300 billion towards the debt, buying back bonds from foreign buyers
3. Spend no more then $1 trillion on the federal budetary items
This would consume the $2 trillion in tax revenue the bring in
Want more spending money? There is only one source... foreign investors/ customers buying/investing in America
To make America competitive enough to attract those foreign dollars... drop taxes so their prices work.
The dropped taxes would also increase funds in the pockets of Americans... opening the possibility of increased innovation which would lead to potential future products which could also attract foreign dollars
It's hard to find investment capital when you have to compete with a federal government that is demanding $1.6 trillion annually. Just think what our economy would do if that much was available for the private sector instead.

Pretty much. And what idiot would invest in a company in Obama’s America?
No it isn’t. Read Atlas Shrugged. The root problem with the Left is that they want to CONTROL every life on the planet Earth. That means controlling the productive output (money) of every single person. No innovation, even free energy, will solve that problem, they’ll just take control of it.
“Innovation””

A leader could change the future of the United States for the next 100 years in a positive way with the stoke of a pen by doing two things:
1. Divert only a portion of a NASA like budget to LFTR (Thorium) reactor commercialization.
2. Wean this country off of entitlements on a sliding scale with those over 55 receiving 100% of the Social Security and Medicare benefit and all others receiving between 100% at 55 down to ZERO% of the benefit at 18 and levy tax for these in the same way.
3. Making welfare net less pay / support than working.
4. Destroy the tax code and replace it with a simpler tax, by any name you may choose to call it, that ALL pay once each quarter by check.
None of this will ever happen in my lifetime.
Correction
FOUR things!!!!
1. Divert only a portion of a NASA like budget to LFTR (Thorium) reactor commercialization.

I’ve asked before, If we can have a TEA party, why can’t we have a TEA economy? Why can’t fractional reserve be taken away from the fed and deployed in the states?
Yes, I know the answer: no state shall print currency but it can coin gold and silver (paraphrased). Well, why don’t we and let the derivative markets take it from there?
