    It's maddening, and even moreso for me right now cause this town is completely dry....

    Folks piss on California a lot, but there at least three legal dispensaries within a ten minute walk from my front door.

  • Well after all the speculation on the economy and the World Largest ever "Stimulus/Pork/Spending bill" I would say that Obama and the Dems have really put the working tax paying class in jeopardy.

    What has been the one thing the government has always went back to to stimulate the economy during a recession or depression?

    Who are we going to war with next is what the question should be.

    Head or Gut?

  • Man, you're disturbed.

  • Not really, go read your history books again. What brought us out of the great depression?

    A ) The New Deal 😆

    B ) WW II

    Or is it all you can do and say is to make wise cracks. grow up punk.

    Yeah but we're already in the middle of a war right now. It didn't keep us out of this current mess.

    Beacause in WW2 we took over the job as world manufacturing headquarters as Europe demolished itself.

    We're handing that title to China.

    And we lost a lot of workers and shrunk the unemployment lines.

    And the drought ended.

    But it sure as hell wasn't the new deal.

  • not only that steve, we are also the only country that has the kahoonas to drop a atom bomb and burn everyone to hell. when we got finished with hiroshima the only thing left was the shadows of where people used to be.

    Kordell Stewart & Big Ben have been the butt of gay jokes (pun intended) and it turns out his Steelers teammates feel the same way.

    I couldnt agree more and from what Obama ran on,

    Becoming a leader in new fuels and the tech market are vital for this country to grow

    Absolutely correct Dan.

    Still that's the road we're on no matter who uses it as a camp[aign tool.

    But I have no idealistic beef with Obama (or Pickens) there.

    Just keep realistic boys.

    Oil is an actual commodity.

    Technology can and will be copied and swiped.

    Hence the revenue factor is wiped out.

  • Every acre? In the entire country? Really?

    Name one person who wanted that, Dan.

    How about, more realistically,

    the people who just wanted to drill where there IS oil,

    in Alaska?

    Or maybe two other places in the entire U.S. ?

    Limited or not, it's ignorant to use oil as a political wedge,

    when the new technologies, even if they DO exist, are not ready to take oil's place.

  • Education. A big reason why many tech jobs are shipped abroad is the "lack of tech people" available and the cost at which the existing people are available. A more skilled workforce will help in having more competition and that will bring down the cost of labor. We need more engineers, scientists, doctors and programmers. The govt must do all it can to make education and cheaper for all.

    The new technologies are not yet fully ready to displace oil as a car fuel, but that is no reason for us to not invest in and utilize such technologies. Hybrids are a positive in that step. Back then US was the only major player in car market. Right now with most of the asian markets emerging the demand for oil and hence the cost of that precious commodity will only increase. It is in our best interest to prepare ourselves rather that wait for some one else to find the solution.
