In Reply to: My solution to carmaker crisis - maybe I'm wacko
I like your idea--but why not take it further? When a new car is made, or probably more importantly new electronics, make them able to be repaired *by the user*. Because having only a tiny number of experts who can fix your stuff is a rip-off, too. Not to mention, not being able to fix our own stuff has left us far less self-sufficient than we used to be.
Another nice thing about your idea is that, at this point, our manufacturing base is so small, *any* big burst of activity (like making parts) might help!

Like I said....I am all for fixing it. But the method of fixing it...
is another issue. I am not sure the 7 billion is the best way; that is all I am saying.
for 3 days he's been fixing to get there?
These campaigns can fly someone across the country in mere hours, yet he TALKS about going for 3 days? Of course, there's speculation that Obama wants to pilfer that house to find whatever documents are there that prove he wasn't born in the US. Before you start flaming (like I really care, anyway), a life-long ACLU Democrat, etc. (Berg) has an interview on michaelsavage.com (the soundfile). I heard it yesterday so didn't need to access it, but a friend of mine who has been on this issue for ages wanted to hear it. Savages w/s was bombarded. It may be available now.
When Rush's Mother was at the end of her life, he broadcast for the duration in secret from Cape Gerardo. I think it was 2 months. It's something you just do and don't need to announce it to everyone.
about that fixing your mortgage --
are they going to go back and fix everybody's mortgage that has already had their house foreclosed?
fixing the economy...
I hope that by the time these projects are over, the economy will be better and the companies will therefore have new projects to move on to. The money that these jobs generate in taxes and in spending will spur more movement forward and we can hopefully start getting back on track.
So much for fixing our economy
Mr. President. This is the biggest problem I have with Barrack Obama. He is all about implementing his personal agenda and making us all dependent on government while it grows bigger and bigger that he doesn't stop to think about the consequences that these actions will have on our already horrible economy. All he talks about are the jobs he has created or saved and I'm sorry.....but I don't see that from where I'm sitting. I see people all around me losing jobs or about to lose jobs and cap and trade will most definitely cause more job loss.
Let our economy fix itself, Mr. President, and then we can talk about your personal agenda. Any person who wants to raise taxes during a recession is a complete and utter moron. Obama is doing nothing but hurting the middle class....which is the class he professed to want to help so badly.
I have no doubt that Obama is smart or he wouldn't be where he is at. However, I think he lacks the experience to be our president. I personally feel that any person wanting to be president of the US should be required to have run or owned a business in the past.
I tell ya what....come 2012....I'm seriously going to be looking outside the box for our next president. Not only will I thoroughly check out the pub and dem candidate but I'm going to check out the indepedents a lot more than I ever have in the past. I think it is about time we show the two parties that they both suck and we have decided to go against both of them. Maybe that will wake them up because this going back and forth between pub and crat hasn't done us much good here lately.
I think the point is concentrating on fixing the problem...
and then go have the debate. When you compare the two things...a debate and financial crisis....to me, oldtimer, it is a no brainer. Why can't the debate wait until we get legislation? Seriously. THey are both still sitting senators, we are still paying them. Forget the campaign right now...just do their jobs for the American people. I wish they had done this a long time ago. Either one of them.
