I think a big part of the problem is that people just automatically do things the way they've always done things, without any thought as to whether it makes sense or is the most expedient and responsible way of doing things. A little common sense and thinking before acting will go a long way. flowerforyou

Ya' tellin' me, they've never heard of web cams and mike attachments to computers? Yahoo conferences for free.


Now that was hysterical, the government using Yahoo conference.. :laughing: I think they need something a bit better than that.

I hear that the Democrats in particular say it is a good investment?

If this is true then doesn't this mean that the corporations have to come up with the profits to pay back the government and come up with profits to keep their company afloat?

You know green technology was in Europe's interest for a very long time and they have started earlier then the states. Or let us just say business in general. What will America do to ensure profits to keep the people of this nation as of other countries interested in negotiating anykind of deal in the first place?

The competition is big!

So can America come up with better cars, gadgets, etc. to keep the world interested to create profits for the states to get out of the trillions of dollar slum hole?

How exactly will this wise investment that Obama and his cabinet preach help the children of our future in the end?



Smiless,

I do hope that we catch up to the rest of world with green technology. I'm looking forward to the rail system that they've been talking about. We need to catch up!


The world has its eyes on America and many foreign corporations are willing to share its technology. The problem is what will be the results if so? Will it help America in the end or not?

What is important is that America can do a business that can help the people who live in this country. Otherwise, what benefits are there if it just brings more debt in the end and more chaos.

Wise decisions are in stake here and the question is are they being done?

a good question is...
why did he increase the budget 2 trillion
and he is now cutting 100 million?

seems like it's mere pennies compared...huh?

For his followers, it would be pacification.


For someone that does alot of whining you might want to grab a few of those pacifiers yourself Willing...

i was quite the optimist but when i find out he's 'hob-knobbing' with world leaders who have bashed us and called us evil...i begin to question things.

it's almost like he's only doing what he needs to do to make himself look good.

he's starting to scare me a little.


Becca,

Funny - I feel the opposite. I like that he's trying to mend the damage Bush that did to our reputation.

Creating the green technology and the rail system will create jobs.
It will help us be more energy efficient. It will save the people money in the long run.

I'm for it.

Winx... do you recall typing this?



Consider that even if you take the earmarks exactly as the Republicans say, add them up, they total 7.7 billion.

and then 7 billion of more than 700 billion is not much.

Now you are jumping up and down about $100 million of a 4 trillion dollar budget? I can hardly contain my laughter... Sorry..

I still stand by what I said about the stimulus package. They are two separate issues.

I'm pleased that they are looking at ways to be more economical within the government now.

Btw, I am not one to jump up and down. lol

Bush couldn't be trusted with a telephone, much less a computer. He liked to hear himself talk.

They made him use the teleprompter, otherwise all we got was "I...er...I answered that the other day.... but uh .... it's just politics and uh....it's just politics."

He would have loved YaHoo! laugh

Baby steps, Drivin. happy


Yep!
Baby steps winx!

Obama said the $100 million would come from "efficiencies" in agency operations, and would be in addition to future cuts in programs that aren't working.

Yet the red ink in the annual budget is currently in the hundreds of billions. He was asked if the efficiency saving isn't just "a drop in the bucket".

"It is," he replied. "None of these things alone are going to make a difference. But cumulatively, they make an extraordinary difference because they start setting a tone ... $100 million there, $100 million here — pretty soon, even here in Washington, it adds up to real money."

Obama said? I guess it is just as good as gold these days.

I hear Hussein have said he will beat the USA.

"Pork chops! Pork chops! Greasy, - greasy!
Our team will beat your team, Easy, - easy!"
