You are sooooooo unconvincing. What I cannot figure out is what is
motivating the righties to fight so hard against ways to lessen man's
impact on the environment.

They want the earth and tax cuts to remain status quo.

They're just as stubboron about the (in)validity of both.

I just heard yesterday that Moody's did an analysis on how to
stimulate the economy.

Food stamps was the winner. Every $1.00, $1.73 was done in commerce.
Employment insurance was next with $1.64 per dollar invested. Tax
cuts for small business? Accellerated depreciation on new equipment
returned .33 for every dollar invested since it takes a long time for
business to identify and make the investments.

This doesn't account for the longer term effects, just the immediate
effect of stimulating the economy.

Naturally, food stamps aren't being considered in the stimulus bill.

I'm not defending the stimulus bill that's being considered. I think
it's a cluster ****.


I wouldn't have tossed in a dime to "bail out" the financial community,
and I don't believe "small business" will do anything but try to survive
in some sort of greatly reduced circumstances. Small business is not in
an expansionary mood.

I just heard made a $45 billion profit last year, and Wall Street is
handing out $18 billion in bonuses. **** 'em, and stick 'em with excess
profits taxes and special taxes on those huge unearned bonuses.

What we need is some blood on the streets and some corporate-banking
heads on pikes, followed by a restructing of society. No executive in
any company should be making more than 50 times the wage of the average
worker in that company, for starters.

We've got to start drumming out greed as a motivator.
