    If that were true, half the members of this forum would be in Guantanamo. Clearly it isn't.

    Tesla Model S Hits the Roads With Great Success!!!

    I am no luddite. I love technology and have been supportive of electric technology. But I sure as hell hope you are wrong. I'm not terribly worried about it. Switching to all electric new models is not going to happen in 20 years, say nothing about 10. We have zero infrastructure for...

    Your heart attack bill: $3,300 in Arkansas, $92,000 in California

    As I've pointed out, the problem isn't just hospitals. It is the entire industry, from anesthesiologist, to surgeons, to drug companies, to doctors, to lawyers...and on and on. You cannot solve the problem without control of the industry. This is the entire reason most people who know this...

    So who would enforce a federal balanced budget amendment?

    Tesla Model S Hits the Roads With Great Success!!!

    Quicker refuel isn't likely. One huge problem is that even with the fast charger we have today, they are very hard on the batteries. So you wouldn't want to use the quick charger unless you have to. But in a country where most families own more than one car, what is wrong with...

    The ONLY reason MOST Obama voters voted for Obama...

    I'm a registered republican. And I voted for Obama both times. The republican party has shifted so far to the right Ronald Reagan would wince.

    Tesla Model S Hits the Roads With Great Success!!!

    I don't know why people continue to put the Volt in the same category. It just isn't. It's a hybrid. An extremely efficient hybrid that may not require a whole lot of fuel, but it is a hybrid.

    Your heart attack bill: $3,300 in Arkansas, $92,000 in California

    The differances are numerous. The number of uninsured makes a huge difference. A hospital in an area where the vast majority of patients are insured would cost a lot less than a hospital in an area with a high homeless populations. And the hospital which bills for 92,000 isn't going...

    Does anyone have a plan for long term employment recovery?

    No I doubt it would. The problem isn't current cost, those are relatively easy to manage. The real problem is the debt we've wracked up already. And that would be hurt by lowering the number of people available to pay for it. In fact, one of the few reasons our economy isn't in even...

    Does anyone have a plan for long term employment recovery?

    Well yeah, that is the point. What Keynes suggested was using a credit card when you lose your job to cover your bills for a few months, maybe even buy a decent pair of shoes to help out at the interview. Then pay it off when you get the job. What we have done is maxed out 15 credit...
