Wow. We're kind of all on the same page thinking the govt is being heavy handed and slow. . . Kind of a strange feeling.

When the Bush tax cuts were up for a vote my description was very much how detractors described them. Your assertion is unsupported by the data.

Using that definition of "might," I guess that social security "might" be there for me when I retire. And my children "might" put me in a really good home where the nurses wear short skirts like I asked for.

Nice rundown of data, Rob. I haven't been able to track down all of it together like that.

This would be why the charts proving these were "tax breaks for the rich" never gave percentages. Usually they took the form: "Joanne makes $5k a year and only got $1000 back while Billy Bob makes $16 million a year and got $1024 back." Whenever data is handled this way you immediately know why.

If the economics of ethanol are so stellar why are the ethanol stocks so horrible?
If ethanol is so profitable why is it not profitable without being run by the govt?

The reasons you give for ethanol being a moneymaker are all things I think should be eliminated.

That said, I like having a parallel source of fuel to gasoline, I think it's healthy for the energy economy. However, the energy/pollution balance is still screwy ethanol, a lot of places still burn oil for the partial distillation process! It's just stupid as it is and as long as the bureaucrats run the show it will stay stupid.

"I do believe it’s very important to send the signal to our entrepreneurs and our families that the government trusts them to spend their own money. "
And so do I. The vitriole by this administration aimed at anyone who has the power to hire is toxic.

"And I happen to believe lower taxes is what stimulates economic growth and what we need now in our country is economic growth."
Obama has said the same thing at one time or another, depending on his audience.

OK, why didn't SHE wear a hat while there? Why doesn't the litany of mindless hatred apply here?

Don't see the need for the hatred. I agree with what she said even if kind of vacuous.

Your link.
"I do urge Americans not to forget Haiti," she said at a Sunday afternoon news conference.

Noting that severe problems afflicted Haiti even before last January's devastating quake, she said her fellow citizens should "get out of your comfort zone and volunteer to help."
