I'll check out his website. I like his show.

I agree, this would be very bad. What can we do to stop or divert this inflation of the dollar on the international market? I mean what besides stop borrowing money? I'm affraid that won't be happening for at least 4 years.

I do hear a little more than what we get in the US. I have a daughter who lives in Switzerland and I have watched TV over there. You'd be amazed at what the rest of the world thinks of us. Next time we vote, let us all vote Libertarian. Does anyone know what mpg they get in Australia? There are long distances and rough traveling conditions there. I wonder if they are worried about efficiency or how they tow their toys. I'm not picking a fight with you, I'm just curious. And by the way , I have studied macro and microeconomics. We need to start teaching this to sixth graders and not wait until college.

I love that movie because it shows how we humans can be so easily manipulated. But do you remember the end of the movie? The humans finally woke up and rebelled against their prison of comfort. That's what we need to do as well. But, where is our Wall E? We need to be jostled from our easy chairs and look around us. We need to live more simply and get out of our comfort zone to see what the rest of the world is up to.

I hate having the government involved in any private enterprise. But where is the private research being done???? Have you tried lately to buy the latest effecient energy products? No. They're still in pre-production research. The large companies are wasting big bucks to advertise what's new for the future, but you can't find any of this !!! Is it being put into production for the majority of the people??? No. Can you find some of these ideas being put into practice in European countries? Sometimes. Let the innovative American industrial complex get busy and leave the government out of the mix.

But so is your whining attitude. 'Efficiency is not in demand' ? How stupid is that? 'The income ratio is too high? Americans have joined unions in this day and age for greed instead of rights. Who voted in these bast....., oops, politicians anyway? The American people want it all without working for it. WE ARE TO BLAME. I am educated and continue to study the world around me all the time. When was the last time you watched or read anything educational???

I think we can do it rather well and still protect the environment. I'm not a rabid conservationist, thank you very much. But, I still get angry when OPEC can send us into panic at their whim. That just gives them more power. We need to set research into gear FAST that will get us free of foreign oil. Global warming is a load of Pelosi! Geologic time moves far too slow to suite us humans, so we claim the dubious power of ruining the earth when she only tolerates our presence. We may poison ourselves and some species, but Nature will survive.

Yeah!!! Ford is outselling Toyota. I'm thankful for that. But, they can do better. Do you see Americans working for cheap labor prices any time soon? China still cures illness with herbs and massage. I like my natural remedies too, but, do you see most Americans settling for that? No, we want instant relief and cure. What's so wonderful about China's health care system? I hadn't heard anything on Fox news about how much better it is. We still are innovative people, but we would rather sell our ideas to the highest bidder than put them into manufacture in our own country. Nobody steals ideas from us; WE SELL OUT!!!

This country needs to be completely re-tooled and brought up to date for manufacture of all kinds of goods. Using advanced ideas with modern manufacturing techniques to CREATE GOODS THAT THE WORLD WANTS is how the USA will stay on top. If we can't quit whinning and buckle down to working our brains harder, then we deserve to become a second-rate nation. I really don't want to see that happen. We are innovators!!!! Let's do what we do best.....MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT WE HAVE. Stop stimulating old, worn-out functions and invest in making energy out of trash.....more efficient transportation facilities (whatever works best for different areas of the country)....better energy transmission for different kinds of non-petroleum based energy sources......etc. etc. etc.. People, let's get our heads out of our pity pots and blame games and DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE !!!!!!!!!

I think that we have to quit whineing and work our brains harder to stay ahead of China. Also, we have to make sure that any new innovations we come up with are put into manufacture IN THIS COUNTRY....we've sold our ideas away too often. We need more apprenticeships for skilled workers so that we can keep up with the rest of the world. Better education would also come in handy.

There are private businesses like Routers and AP who keep their business by being unbiased. I don't trust the reports from any government agency. I only watch MSNBC occasionaly to see the other side. I try to watch all of the network news programs for an idea of what all sides say. I like FOX news very much so get a grip Oklahomabound and look at all sides of any issue so you don't get so angry. Your blood pressure may get too high. Take care of yourself.

We have too long relagated this work to people who may or may not care about governing properly. Perhaps they are only after the large pension they will pull in for the rest of their lives. Perhaps they crave the power of the office. Perhaps they really care (at first) but become discouraged by the 'scratch my back and I'll scratch your's' process of voting used today. However it happens, Senators and Representatives do not stand up for the principles this country was founded on. They want to change how we live whether we want it or not. They don't bother to ask us anymore. And WE ARE GUILTY of letting them do this to us. We are lazy and complaicent about voting and understanding our government. First of all, let's kick ourselves into gear and listen for the undertones of meaning in all of the news. Start with the premise that everybody slants what they say in their own interests. Facts can be used like tools or weapons. We have to look at the big picture. Wake up America and get cracking!!!!

Forget remembering dates in history, we need to study the history of our country for the valuable lessons learned by people like us. Don't just suggest that your children learn more; YOU pick up a copy of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and read it TO you family!!!!

The leaders of the CIA are part of the political world and therefore, any report from them should be verified from at least 2 independent sources. Anything coming out of Washington DC should be taken with the view that there is a hidden agenda. We, as the represented citizens of the United States, must look for the underlying agenda and scewed viewpoints of both politicians and the media personel that report on them. That also goes for the reporters at FOX News. Sorry to lump you in with the rest of the bad apples, but you slant your news just as much as MSNBC. We have to look at everything with a jaundiced eye, no matter how fine these principles of 9-12 sound. Our founding fathers lived in a world where lying was just as prevalent, but in their world a liar was looked upon as a big-time loser. In our world, lying is as frequent as breathing!!!! And, people get paid big money to present themselves as something they are not. How can we possibly get back to a time of truth as preferential behavior?
