The government will use that money and thereby reduce the need for other taxes or, more probably, use it to offset the rampant deficit spending already taking place.
You are not from around here are you?? If they get more money, they spend more money, period.
But there's no hard guarantee. Sure there is. Go read up on Peak Oil. Then go read what anybody's doing about it. (Hint: Apart from mostly singular projects like the one in TFA, mostly jack shit.) Electricity prices will go up.
Except for the fact that only around 1.5% of the US electricity generation comes from the use of oil. Take a look here: Net Generation by Energy Source by Type of Producer. Out of a little more than 4,000,000 MWH of electricity generated, about 65,000 MWH came from petroleum.
Seems odd that there is a reliance or expectation for this data, considering it originates with a classified satellite system, let alone which is directly related to national security.
Generally speaking, if I am paying for something, I feel entitled to the results or products it produces.
Unfortunately thats not how the government works. I get to foot the bill but I have no say in the product lifecycle.
Just wait til it is your health care and not classified satellite information that you have no say in.
Don't make fun of Poland.
Genius!
Everything I needed to learn about wagon-wheel axles I learned from Oregon Trail.
They break right before an exceptionally tough winter where you lose 5 oxen? That is what I learned.

But manslaughter.
Thing is, how do you punish a corporation for manslaughter? Remember, a corporation is a "legal person" so you can't punish an employee for obeying the will of the company.
IANAL but I would think this would constitute "depraved indifference" which is Murder 2. From the above:
'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendantâ(TM)s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.
let's see, Windows on hospital equipment recently got Conficker because Microsoft no longer provided security patches for Windows 2000 and NT.
Extended support for Windows 2000 doesn't end unitl July of 2010. The patch that fixes the exploit on Win2k is here if interested.
As for NT, the long term support ended over 5 years ago.
When I write legislators, I don't include hookers, blow, and cold hard cash in my statement.
Well maybe you should. -Signed, your congressman.
"I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

To add to your point because only the rich smoke cigarettes....
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
