Look, I'm opposed to almost all the legislation that has been proposed or passed since Sandy Hook. I realize that assault rifle is just a name.
But you are dead wrong on this.
Just because you have an article from January that got the facts wrong does not make it correct. Even the freaking coroner said he used the AR-15. The long gun recovered from the trunk was a shotgun.
to a thirty meter telescope these days, is not the size, but getting the necessary environmental and cultural licensing. For a freaking telescope. We're done doing great things, i think.
Who build, maintains, and operates that roller coaster? Who makes the stuff that gets used to build, maintain and operate that roller coaster? Who makes the stuff that makes the stuff...
Does cable tv just spring from the ether? Doesn't it still require hard means of transmission, generation, and production? Think a little bit.
The only mention of tax breaks for energy from that article is this.
"Moreover, many of the individual exceptions that allow corporations to shield profits from taxation actually enjoy broad popularity, like tax breaks to support domestic manufacturing, low-income housing and green energy."
And shit man, if you're worried about subsidies, why don't you ask the petroleum industry why they need so many tax breaks, why they need the support of military forces in the regions they operate, why they're sucking up to the government teat as much as big aggro.
Ok, do you have a phone number for the Petroleum Industry? They get the same tax breaks as anyone else. They do not get direct subsidies. Put down the pipe.
. Progressives want to use regulations to level the playing field so everybody has access.
I think classical liberals want to level the playing field. Progressives and modern Liberals want to tilt the playing field using every means necessary to achieve a specific outcome, specifically by using unequal treatment to achieve those outcomes.
Progressivism grows from liberalism with the idea that we should continue to seek more liberty, equality and justice. To make continued progress towards those ideals.
That's interesting. Because most Progressives I know are constantly calling for higher taxes, race-based policy, gun control, more regulations and laws, and more spending. It is becoming apparent that Progressivism may have grown from liberalism, much like Fascism grew from Socialism.

Imagine that. The Center for American Progress doesn't like for-profit education. It doesn't matter if it's a state university or not. They both are happy to take borrowed money for tuition.

No, we've just moved the funding mechanism from direct public funding of the universities, to publicly backed loans to the students.

409 billion to 66 billion? Why don't you look at dollars per megawatt generated. Fossil fuels get pretty much the lowest subsidies per megawatt.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903285704576559103573673300.html
In fact they get a fraction of 1% of the subsidies per megawatt that renewable energy gets.
We spend 3.6 trillion dollars a year on ourselves. We are now spending more on ourselves than any time in history. Why isn't it working?
No disagreement there. Someone who doesn't understand the underlying mechanics of firearms has no business regulating said firearms.
And today is also Israel's Independence day. What specific kind of people did the Sept 11th attacks target? Americans, maybe?

It's pretty hard for a President to claim credit for anything, when everything is someone else's fault.
Seriously, what metrics should we use to gauge our economic standing? What should we pay attention to?
So what would you find preferable to 8% growth?

I'm pretty sure 8% growth in GDP benefits everyone. It would be kind of nice if we had that today.
NK maybe, but there is plenty of cheerleading for China around here.
Advance notice that a pentest is forthcoming kind of defeats the purpose of the pentest.
It seems to me these "attacks" are being conducted in good faith, as a security test. I think this is good practice and it should be commonplace.

Is it really trillions? Or more than a trillion?
If corn based ethanol wasn't a joke, it wouldn't need subsidies for production, and it wouldn't need mandated blends to prop up sales.
At least when a *consumer* *decides* to spend a dollar on a product from the middle east, they actually get value for their purchase.
Didn't A123 get a bunch of DOE money as well?

Looking at how she treats the 2nd Amendment, I think she has trouble with the meaning of the word "shall" and "no" and its derivatives.
Wrong again.
