Nuclear is probably the most regulated industry in the world. You do realize the issue was not caused by lack of regulations. I seem to recall that is was a really big freaking earthquake, and shortly thereafter a really freaking big wall of sea water. Certain I read that somewhere. No excuses for lying afterwards. Can't regulate mother nature, she'll kick you in the jimmy every time. LIke it or no, nuclear is still the safest and cleanest way to go.
Steve Jobs net worth was 8.3 billion. Let's go ahead and spread that one out so everyone can afford healthcare. Hell, that puts an extra $24.41 in everyones pocket. That's enough for one year of tuition. Granted, your only talking about the 40 million uninsured they would each get a big ole fat check for $207.50.
14 Trillion and counting.. hell, go ahead and throw another 1 trillion dollars of debt at me (I pay taxes), It's not like I can ever pay it back. You can disagree all you want, but have at least a counter plan... The guy next door is $100,000 in debt having a hard time finding work in his field of gender studies aint my problem... To answer "sane" candidates, haven't seen one in a long time on either side. I'm fairly far right, but I would sign a petition to get Bill Clinton back in office in a heartbeat.
So, instead of 14 trillion in debt, we would be 15 trillion in debt. I see what your saying, but we're broke, can't really give away another free 1 trillion dollars.
How is it good for a banker? No job=no wages to garnish. No problem for University, they already got paid. While we're at it, banks not going to suffer either since the govt. is taking over the student loans and will likely forgive the debt (i.e. make me pay for someone elses degree).
"What more do we need to know before we put an end to coal and oil consumption?" We need a suitable replacement that won't wreck the global economy. Other than that, I'm all for it.
Thanks, I was hoping someone would point this out. Terrorist goals aren't to hijack airplanes. Thier goal is to destroy our way of life/freedom. The bigger the TSA/Police state, the more victory they can claim. 3,000 dead is tragic. What is more tragic is the 300,000,000 that lined up to have thier freedom/liberty taken away.
Not sure this is a joke or not, but i'll bite. A federal employee makes $100,000 in tax payer money. If he is terminated, you are going to miss out on $27,000 in tax revenue. Comes out to +$73,000. We could even PAY them (just cash mind you, no benefits), $50,000 and still come out $23,000 ahead for each.
Your right though, private industry couldn't not absorb.
Yep, that's about exactly what's coming during an ecomonic collapse. Oh, wait, sorry, you were making a joke. Which of the above services will be provided when no one buys our treasury bonds because we can't afford the interest?
Cute little sig. Now compare "poverty" in the United States to "poverty" in a hundred other countries.. Getcha some perspective on what spoiled little bitches we've become. Not many folks outside the US that are in "poverty" get a steady income/food/shelter/education/internet/library/transportation/schoollunch/cellphone/heat...
There is no math you can come up with where the government can create a job. It is not mathmatically possible. They have to take money from the individual to hire a government employee. Companies pay zero taxes. Not one penny, never have, never will. It all comes from profits of the individual. Hiring a government worker does not cost the government ANYTHING. However, your personal pay does go down (assuming you pay taxes). There is only ONE way that the government affects job creation and that is regulation.
Confused.. We're going broke and looking quickly down the barrel of economic collapse with most if not all government programs being suspended, massive unemployment, riots, murder and general lawlessness, possible starvation. Not to mention the collapse of the finest country the world has ever known. Your counter argument is "We need to know if a hurricane is coming.". That pretty much sum it up?
Yes,it will go on and on. Of course, when we can't send out 14 million welfare checks we'll at least have damn nice parks. That'll teach those greedy corporations...
Social security is already fully funded/paid for. We'll need to be proactive to keep it that way though. Triming the military budget to ZERO wouldn't fix it... what next? I must apologize, i replied to the wrong post... Have a mod point..
/Whoosh. You kinda missed the point. These are all the things you want. It's just that little voice that keeps getting missed, it's not free and we can't pay for it. Why is this so hard for folks to understand. Okay, tax the rich at 100%, fine. Okay, we did that, not get rid of the other 85% of our overspending and we'll talk.
For the record, the hole was dug when we left the gold standard. Political affiliation has squat all dick to do with the debt problem. We'll just ignore the fact that the executive branch can't spend money.... Who cares about that whole pesky constituion thing...
Herein lies the issue:
"Ron Paul is about less government, so he is realigning money from the government to..." We are borrowing over $.50 of every dollars, the country is dead flat ass broke.... So many flaws in once sentence. Realigning money FROM THE GOVERNMENT. That assumes it was THIER TO BEGIN WITH. See, the government does actuall make money, they take it from others. So, I do not accept the premise of the statement. "Realigning money". Again, we are broke and going down the shitter fast. Here is a thought, instead of realigning the money, just don't spend it.

Unless you start on one end,, then you could drill 75 miles..
If it's regulated like other energy companies, your looking at a decade for a permit to start building...

"I thought the goal of the electric car was to do better than the gasoline powered vehicles. " In the U.S. hybrid cars run on coal, not electric :).
I mean, we were just now forced to buy mercury laden light bulbs. Suppose to save me a bajillion dollars over ten years...

True, but we have tens of thousands of things that make up small percentages of the budget...

Cause we're broke and no one else has come up with a plan? We're damn close to running out of other peoples money. Who's plan is better?
Crazy or not, he's the only one with a plan. Think about that. The only person working on a solution is a crazy ole bastard.. Be afraid.
