  1. #4 is part of a jobs plan because domestic building of bases helps construction and because underwater mortgages stops employment mobility so anything that can reduce surplus of housing can help employment.
  2. unfortunately OC is probably an Authority on humor I'm sure he has a long meandering incoherent emoticon filled rant as to why Brevity is not the soul of wit.
  3. Who needs magical gumdrop trees when you have industrial hemp
  4. I blame this rumor on the cabal of secrete forces that keeps Kelsay employed no matter how much he sucks.
  5. I heard the same thing I thought it was a rumor but now..........
  6. 1. 0% interest 30 year loans for home and business energy efficiency measures 2. 0% interest 10 year loans to convert heavy trucks and fleet vehicles to natural gas 3. 0% interest 20 year loans to build natural gas refueling infrastructure 4. Close the majority of foreign bases and get out of Iraq and Afghanistan build bases along the Mexican boarder- buy up foreclosed housing to give to soldiers who have done multiple tours of duty, give them a five year moratorium on property taxes and interest free student loans above and beyond what's provide from the GI Bill. 5. End the Cuban embargo 6. Universal health care- tying health care to jobs decreases employment mobility and hurts small business. 7. We need to build about 200+ modern safer nuclear plants to replace all the nuclear plants running 20-30 years past their design life - plus replace many coal fired plants 8. Coal to liquid fuel 9. desalination plants probably 100+- whether you believe climate change is man-made, or natural cycles or an act of God it's here and here to stay. 10. legalization of drugs and prostitution 11. Cut the corporate tax to 12% end overseas tax deferments. 12. Replace unemployment with government fake jobs and job training- starting at around 6 months and completed around 18 months people go from unemployed to unemployable, basically the longer people are unemployed the more they become unemployable - So my program replaces unemployment with Job training/retraining a small amount of community work, but most important fake job history and references. 13. A 0.3% financial transaction tax- high frequency computer trading is a curse and anything that would encourage investment in productive ventures as opposed to gaming the system would be a blessing. 14. eliminate the penny.
  7. Well, Many have given their opinion of the quality of investigation of the 2008 collapse ( see William K Black) and it basically suggests a whitewash - my point is if you are rich and powerful (politically connected) you are pretty much immune to prosecution unless you piss-off someone else who's rich and powerful- the law is not equally enforced for example an online alternative news provider I watch talked about how when their website was hacked multiply times (pretty serious when your business model is online content) the agencies they contacted were like "well good luck with that" but when Koch industries web site was hacked multiple doors were kicked in and arrests made in a week.
  8. Reggie White was a free agent- the Bills had lost one SB to the Giants and then to Washington and our defense though good had trouble with power Olines- Reggie White ends up in Green Bay making around 3 mil a year which while a lot of money at the time would look pretty average two years later.
  9. This cracks me up - no one investigates any rating agencies when they rate all types of crap AAA but annoy someone with power and whew........ the legal system in this country is becoming a joke.
  10. bad knee on a bad surface, probably a little hesitant about going full bore - of course he's got to get his knee and his mind 100%.
  11. What? Hoverounds don't count? you should have saw the carnage when they were fighting the Larks- every ramp in the neighborhood was tagged.
  12. I'm a little surprised if they have him as the #2 WR (I thought that would be Parrish) but I wouldn't be surprised at all if jumped past most of the other receivers he's looked NFL ready from what I've seen of practice.
  13. I always knew Tom was a softy at heart.
  14. Hamas and the PLO called and they agree with 3rdrate that the west should stop giving money to the PA, which is only fair considering "No Western financial assistance is given to the PA authorities in Gaza" where Hamas is in power- in fact it is a brilliant idea to stop funding Fatah altogether.
  15. I like this John Steward take on the issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EY5Ofcxjs0
  16. Actually it was a pissed off women he just stopped her before she could finish writing SCABIES
  17. I like how the media won't even talk about Ron Paul, the voter "love that dare not speak its name"
  18. I wonder if they thought Spiller was going to be the next Chris Johnson so far he's not even the next Reggie Bush.
  19. I feel that it's outrageous egregious preposterous that my name doesn't come up first in a discussion of drive-by posters.
  20. lets not go too crazy with the electronics comparisons for example that "Television Zenith, 25" color $599 New Jersey 1976" in today's dollars costs $2,365.55 inflation calculator - The "CB radio $189.00 New Jersey 1976" = $746.39 today's dollars I think you could get 2 or 3 ipods for that- electronics are cheap it's food and fuel that are the killers.
  21. OK if you want to say increased wealth disparity is due to a moral degeneracy that has swept the bottom 99% of Americans - but what about income disparity, in 1973 the top 1% received 9% of total GDP now they receive more than 25% - income adjusted for inflation has remained stagnant for the bottom 50th percentile since the 1970s, it has declined slightly for the bottom 20th percentile, this despite large increases in worker productivity in both an hourly and total measure.
  22. I think it's more telling to compare the wealth and income distribution now in America to other times in history, do that and you find the last time we've had income and wealth inequality at levels like this was in the 1920s before the great depression.
  23. you only eat what's left of the amortized bonus not the salary
  24. 1. Dave wouldn't be second in line as not only am I first but I save 2nd 3rd and 4th for my elitist progressive cronies. 2. I applaud any attacks on the Fed even from Rick Perry - but I am disrespectful of him saying I'd be ugly in Texas cause those white shoe Ivy league elites ain't going to Texas so it's a hollow threat, now if he said me and the boys are grabbing pool cues and going to New York that be different. 3. You understand as well as I do that debasement of our currency is not a bad side effect of monetary policy but one of the goals of monetary policy to reduce the value of debt and to try to increase exports- they do not care that this hurts savers and people on fixed income- it's the tax increase you can't vote out of office. 4. If I was to as the Fed a question that they had to give an honest answer it would be- Do you understand that no matter how much Zero percent interest you loan or how many toxic assets you buy from the banks it's still not going to encourage them to loan in America and help main street when they can make more money else where.
