Just when I finally convinced my son that he can be tough without the use of four letter words. You have to wonder what his parents were doing while he was trying to grow up.

Rahmbo would find himself on his ass outside my front door.

These legislators who have become involved in the economy and brought it to its knees have the nerve to second guess these automakers? Shelby who is from a state that used $100s of millions of taxpayer dollars to attract foreign car manufacturers and give them an unfair advantage has the nerve to oppose a bailout of our own car makers when foreign car makers' countries are offering them funds to help them through this economic downturn? The people who have appropriate trillions of dollars to the banks who were complicit in the county's financial problems only to have them use the funds to get bigger, hold on to them while they continue to foreclose on our homes, and charge us loan shark rates on our credit cards, hesitate to keep millions of Americans working when the country is losing half a million jobs per month?

These legislators, by becoming involved in private industry, when the Constitution clearly prohibits it, have caused every taxpayer to become liable for the failure of these automakers and to every UAW worker that lost their job. This money should be in the form of a settlement, not a loan. They should settle while they can get away with 2-3 hundred billion as opposed to 2-3 trillion.

CO2 levels have naturally fluctuated over billions of years. As CO2 levels have increased, plant growth has fed on the CO2 and increased to offset it.

As we continue to run our experiment of both artificially putting CO2 into the air and destroying plant growth, the results are not known yet, but one would suspect that they probably will not be good. We may end up with a suffocating mutation of plant growth or we may end up boiling the ocean away. A warmer surface may allow the mantle below it to melt it and the planet will end up one giant ball of lava.

We have some time to continue our experiment, but it would be safer to give it up and move on to something else as soon as we can. A better one would be to just stop all foreign oil imports and see how long it takes for new technology to come to fruition.

This is why government is not supposed to try to manage business, but since they did and now that they have screwed things up, we owe it to ourselves to help out.

You need to understand the concept of herding if you want to survive this. The entire nation has been herded for decades, by the media and foreign car interests, into believing that the domestic automakers and the union are bad while they have worked their problems out. Now, while we are being herded around in circles, with the same shouts ringing in our years, we can no longer think for ourselves and the gates of the slaughterhouse are opening. We need to break out of the herd and get the facts if we want to survive.

There are over 130,000 pages of regulations on the Federal Record. Over 14,000 of these have been implemented during the Bush administration and over 3,000 are pending. Over 80,000 of them have been put in place since 1971. The Congressional Review Act gives legislators 60 days to review new regulations before they are put into effect. Try pouring over 130,000 pages 3,000 times in 60 days to make sure that none of the new regulations have adverse effects on any of the others assuming that you are an expert on economics, every kind of business there is, geology, medicine, the law, and everything else in the world. Then check them for adverse effects on state, county, and city regulations. There is no lack of regulation.

The regulators encouraged lenders to make sub-prime loans and made it harder to file bankruptcy encouraging more credit card debt while failing to put any limits on interest rates allowing the financial institutions to strip the population of its wealth. In short, regulators created a free for all for gamblers who bet that they could get in and out before the ax fell. The only problem was that everyone got in and there was no place to get out to.

It turns out that these executive orders are a bit like the Emancipation Proclamation. They don't accomplish much.

Does anyone else wonder if the rest of those public servants in the picture don't have something they should be doing?

We really are getting angry with public servants that don't listen to us after we put them in office.
