I LIVE in Florida and so yes I understand the amount of state money involved. It had already been APPROVED by a REPUBLICAN legislature. It would have been LEVERAGED dramatically by accepting the Feds money.it’s tens of thousands of decent paying construction jobs.it’s the growth of business at the train stops and more JOBS.but why would a job killing CEO like Scott know the first freaking thing about creating jobs. He has never created the FIRST job.he bought hospitals and then CUT JOBS!.
They are expanding, investing and **hiring** heavily in all the BRIC’s (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Do you honestly believe these countries are more certain than the U.S?. As to businesses not expanding / banks not lending, it’s due to the uncertainty (in large part from government).———————————————You are aware that these same businesses expand and invest all over the world, in countries where there is more uncertainty and where they have less control of the governments.
In America, just look at what allowing private markets to dictate our growth does to us. In our major airports, transportation services are unwieldy, disorganized and seeming directed at maintaining profits for a few powerful economic interests. In other more advancing countries, growth is being managed in a way that maximizes efficiency and matches technology to human activity. In America, growth is unmanaged, chaotic and dependent on satisying the profit motivations of the few rather than the needs of the public. A business man in Hong Kong boards a hi-peed train at the airport and is instantly transported to his destination in comfort and with an eye toward maximizing service.
Thanks in advance.;-). Hi 12bar! Hope all is well with you! Really interesting comment! Where are those rights that you state above, documented? What I mean is, where is the, for lack of a better word, “legal” reference too them? I’ve looked in the Constitution but don’t see them. Are there Supreme Court references to them? Just want to find out where they’re officially chronicled.
I’d love to see them all go bankrupt!!!. This story is being reported currently as motorists feeling pain at the pump.yeah.but what is REALLY at stake is our economic recovery. I wish it were in Obama’s power to release billions of barrels from our strategic reserve in one big rush to absolutely scr#w the speculators.
Do we have enough capacity in the right places?. And so can you teach me about refining capacity. I can’t really believe it’s a capitilization problem because the entire oil industry stays awash in a sea of cash. Are we adding enough capacity?If not why? Even though you are a Conservative I trust your honesty and so if it is a regulatory problem similar to Nukes you can let me know.
Don’t you think the bottom in home value depends on the particular area in which the home is located and how over-valued the property was in the first place? I would imagine the Las Vegas bubble was a lot bigger than the one in Tulsa. He is extremely bearish on the real estate market. My personal expert (my mortgage broker son in law) points this out as a particularly troubling aspect. I know when I inquired if my property taxes might go down along with the value of my home, I was told that property values in my neighborhood were doing quite nicely thank you. LOL. He practices in both Georgia and Utah, neither particularly bubbly, and in both states have declined significantly. Who’d have thought?—————————————————I don’t speak from great personal knowledge, but I understand that real estate values are now depressed even where there was no bubble.
As an aside, he was telling me that there are laws coming into effect that will further depress the market. And he’s a Republican. He says if Congress cuts F/F, that will be the end of the real estate market. One has to do with compensation rules for lenders which will eliminate all flexibility. While creating laws to increase competition, they will result in the exact opposite. He says Congress does not know what it is doing. It’s interesting to talk to someone who is actually on the front lines of lending.
Scott Walkers (R) efforts. “In a speech earlier this month at the Conservative Political Action Committees annual conference, Americans For Prosperity-Michigan Executive Director Scott Hagerstrom revealed the true goal of his group and its allies like Wisconsin Gov. Speaking at CPACs Panel for Labor Policy, Hagerstrom said that AFP really wants to do is to take the unions out at the knees:.
HAGERSTROM: Its easy to go out there and fight taxes and increased regulation, you know we send out an action alert on taxes to AFP and we get thousands of people to respond. “. You send out one on a more complicated issue and it just doesnt quite resonateWe fight these battles on taxes and regulation but really what we would like to see is to take the unions out at the knees so they dont have the resources to fight these battles.
