They claim you can print in stainless steel, even producing high stress mechanical components like a bicycle sprocket. But there is no where that they explain or demonstrate this. By what mechanism can they produce steel components?
Democrats are not sensible either. Nor are the libertarians and greens. And most of the rest of the other parties are even more batshit insane than the republicans.
Don't talk out your has with your mercantilism bullshit. China picked winners too. Their PV production is heavily subsidized. The difference is that they were able to keep pumping money into it until their competitors faltered. Something the US government could not do.
PV isn't a 24/7 solution and requires exotic materials for the high quality cells, with undeveloped mass production processes. Solar thermal can run 24/7 and does not require exotic materials with the a simple mechanical production process that can rapidly scale.
Yea. You just try getting funding for a program to look for actual solutions past the republicans. We already have an actual solution. Its called building a massive solar thermal complex in the southwestern desert and rolling out an upgrade to the national power grid. Invest a trillion dollars in it over the next 10 years and you can replace over half of our dirty power plants with clean solar thermal with salt reservoirs producing power 24/7.
If you think that is what I am proposing, you didn't read what I wrote.
My proposal ends the deficit, and will over time end the debt.
My proposal eliminates a vast amount of bureaucracy.
Throwing money at problems has not worked because there are people intentionally making it not work. Leaving it to charity and for profit enterprise has ALSO never worked.
That is magical thinking about a mythical past that never really existed. No, we didn't have a credible military, nor any kind of welfare system, or anything remotely resembling a modern justice system, or freedom from the exploitation of the moneyed class then, and while progress has been made, we still don't have it now.
10% is more than enough, if you don't have a military, or a criminal justice system, or any kind of welfare system and simply let people die instead. 10% is more than enough if all you want is a yes man to approve the decisions of the plutocrats. 10% is more than enough if you are a treasonous bastard who wants to destroy America.
Yes: I include all forms of income, including capital gains, interest, profits on sale of property, etc.
Why no corporate income tax? Its not because of double taxation. Its about economic growth. Its because actual economic studies have shown that a corporation with a lower tax rate is more likely to reinvest in its business and grow. The same does not hold true for the tax rate of personal income. And corporations are not people.
Take your blinders off, go meet these people, talk to them, attend their meetings. Do it in the deep south where I live. It is obscenely obvious where they are coming from.
10% isn't enough to run the government. A flat tax of 25% is the minimum, and that is assuming the maximum reasonable +/-5% or so shrinkage of government spending.
I would like to see a flat personal income tax of +/-55% with no exceptions, a 0% corporate income tax, and a government payout = the poverty level income for every household in America + single payer healthcare with no means testing at all. That would actually balance the budget and you could eliminate a lot of bureaucracy when you don't have to means test.
Yea... Words have meaning. And actions do to. The Tea Party can paint themselves as favoring individual involvement, responsibility and rights all they want. Its what they do that shows that is just a propaganda lie.
The heritage foundation places a huge focus on "economic freedom" AKA the right to exploit your serfs, any nation with a low tax rate on their high income brackets gets a lot of bonuses for "freedom".
Its not immoral. He swore an oath for his security clearance. An oath like the president or any soldier. Its first clause to to protect and defend the constitution of the united states of America. The last is to perform the duties of his position.
He was placed in the position where he could not simultaneously fulfill both parts of the oath. No matter what he did, he would be breaking part of it. So he sided with the constitution and the American people, and I think that makes him a hero.
Its not a significant break from standard republican. and that is the problem. They represent a dark and malignant cancer that has infested the party since ts Nixons southern strategy absorbed the racists that felt betrayed when the democratic party endorsed civil rights, its just that they feel comfortable being back in the light of day again. Its a sign of the degeneracy of this nation toward conservatism.

Don't have morally repugnant and illegal secrets.
Mostly universities.
The cures for pandemics have never been a product of corporate research... They are always the product of government funded or subsidized research.
There are a crap ton of features missing from the free version of vs.
I don't reflexively categorize "Democrats good" I reflexively categorize "Democrats bad", "Republicans fucking insane traitors"

Easy answer. Raise taxes.
Dinosaurs are walking the earth, they just got old and all their teeth fell out.

And I am tired of it. The democrats are not a good party either. I want a real liberal progressive party in this country.
