fixing the economy with flood waters

Ninety year old Mariel Brito for years has announced every spring and summer her life long dream that some day someone in Washington DC would decide to build an infra-structure to take the flood waters of the mid-west and east to water arid portions of our country.

Potential global loss to foreign powers.

As we know, most of the major banking systems, and countries, are falling like dominos right now, except for a few such as China and Russia and a couple others, whom still have a huge surplus. The problem is whole banking companies are getting cheaper and cheaper and being sold at losses to other more stable banks.

fixing the BIG 3

BIG 3 NEED SELF HELP -
(fixing Detroit one car at a time)
Let's help Detroit sell better cars without added layers of bureaucracy and meaningless mandates attached to Billions of bucks.

Giving the BIG 3 Automakers money and expecting them to make better cars is akin to pushing a length of string across a table top - it's going to get balled up.

science_ old is new

a smooth surface set upon another smooth surface can support tons of weight without the facing surfaces being in contact. in rotating these surfaces, there is no friction, outside of two boundaries of air at .0001 thickness. placing magnets of like fields on the same surface opposing each other will generate electricity when the two surfaces rotate.

Out sourcing

I am tired of getting call centers outside the US. I am an American I like to speak to Americans when I need help. The out sourcing has got to stop. I want a person from the US on the other side of the line. I heard Obama stated that he wants to reward the companies that do not out source by giving them incentives. Great lets solve the issue by throwing money at it.

Social Security & The X Generation: Time to Invest

I’m in my thirties. I’m in it for the long term. The current stock market has me more worried about job prospects than the value of my stock portfolio. I’m confident that the market will rebound again and fall again and rebound again and so forth over the next thirty years.
