I don't put a great deal of faith into government statistics.

Watching the news last evening I saw some Republican in Texas asking when the Democrats are going to create jobs. Now forgive me if I am wrong, but are not the Republicans the ones who want to shrink government? Are they not the ones who praise private industry? Profits are up in almost every private company, their balance sheets are healthy. So where are the jobs/ It is not that they are not able, they are just not willing to add jobs. They would rather work the arses off their existing people than add more people. Way back in one of these threads I predicted this would happen and doubtless we will not see new hires until after the election.

+1. Because you can bet that the majority of business owners are Republicans, who will sit on their money untill the have an ass kissing sycophant (GOP) majority.

And as we get closer to election time the price of oil will skyrocket, and GOP candidates will be screaming "drill baby drill", then after the election, the price goes back down again, despite the fact that not a single new well has been drilled. -----But the connection between the oil industry and the GOP is "pure nonsense".

Dave

What ever happened to coal gassification? Or scrubbers, years back in another life I worked for Combustion Engineering, we used to build big (initially) coal fired plants for the pulp and paper companies, Every single one had scrubbers just ahead of the chimneys. They would start up on coal but when it was available they would burn black liquor, something that came from the paper making process that was combustible.

The coal plants have really cleaned up their pollution over the years. And we've got plenty of coal.

IMHO, unless we want to freeze to death in the dark with nothing to eat, we should go with the energy we have while the green energy comes of age.

I can't think of a better way to kill a recovery than to raise the rates on energy consumption. Get America back to work and perhaps then we can afford to deal with some of our other problems.

I think he's picturing her bent over with her panties around her ankles.
About the only time she says anything worth listening too.
