For most it is grinding WoW or grind the couch watching reality TV.

Printing money is a problem too. Getting rid of the Fed does no good if you don't get rid of the rampant spending. Bring the military and entitlement spending down to less then what we tax in a year (so maybe raise taxes along with cutting spending!) and then we can address the issues with the Fed.

Somehow reading your comment makes me feel that you'er under 25 and was raised getting a trophy for just showing up.

I know that this comment was an ad hominem attack and didn't really add much. But I couldn't over look this comment: "since buying an electric car is a huge service to our nation shouldn't the charging be free of costs?" - Really? that's a "huge" service? and for it, everyone else should subsidize your driving?

Economy in a hole? You mean setting record levels in all areas besides employment, right?

It is just feel like forever.

Make special license plates and parking spots for Electric Cars. Give the same fine for parking in an electric spot as parking in a handicapped spot.

And if you couldn't charge for the convenience, there would be none.

Auto Companies would LOVE to deregulate the laws the protect Indeprendent Dealerships. Problem is, that local Car Dealerships have a LOT of influence in local elections. Thus, they were able to legislate protection for their industry that should have died out in the 50s.

True. However, I am not a betting man, but I'd wager that MORE people don't budget properly then DO.

Yeah, but they've known about the other lessons all year long!

I think he's right. People don't add up the $2 charges to a grand total. It isn't just these games, it's convenience stores, Starbucks, etc. People don't realize that the $2 Candy Bar after work costs them ~$500 a year or that the Starbucks in the morning costs them ~$150 a month.

Just came to post this.

Planning to teach a 1 hour lesson shouldn't take more than a few hours. A week is cutting it close, but there is still ample time to prep for the lesson.

Better way to put it is:

Republicans are concerned with the costs of food stamps; not so much about the costs of Farm Subsidies. Welfare for the poor? No. Corporate welfare? Yes.

Thank You you fucking son of a bitch

The US National Debt is held in T-Bonds (Treasury Bonds) as the video discusses. If we reduced Government spending to less then the Tax Revenue, then the Surplus each year could be used to purchase back the T-Bonds, thus lowering the National Debt. Or could be held to fund next years governmental spending so new T-Bonds would not need to be issued.

Could this be done over night? No. But over time (10, 15, 30 years)? sure.

Of course, this brings up a major issue - If 16 Trillion isn't being held in T-Bonds and is pushed back out into the Markets, suddenly the value of circulating dollars would drop. This would probably be a bigger problem then the National Debt.
