Hear! Hear!

Industry and workers will need to find some kind of middle ground if we are going to compete with other countries on the alternative and renewable resources front. We cannot sit back and watch as developing countries corner the market through cheap labor and lax regulation. Moreover, we need a philosophical shift in this country that "creating wealth" through finance is not productive in a collective sense, but rather we must produce goods and services that better a worldwide populus - not just a select few.

Of course, printing money to sustain unnecessary and costly initiatives only accelerates the decline of the dollar to "worthless."

With Obama experienced as he is in currency manipulation, it is only a matter of time before he fully emulates his Zimbabwe mentor, Mugabe, and succeeds in putting the American dollar on a par with the Zimbabwe dollar.

1 US Dollar = 37,456,777 Zimbabwe Dollar
1 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD) = 0.00000003 US Dollar (USD)

That's now. But we're on the inside rail and making a move. We're not yet in the stretch.

How much is "cap and trade" supposed to cost the average American household. Is it $1600 per year. Great. And how much is ... Ah well, you take the green and other initiatives "to save the Earth," and transfer manufacturing capacity and jobs elsewhere, and tote it up. Right now, aren't our federal tax collections down some 30%. Doesn't matter. We are being led by business and economic ignoramuses, who are leading us down the road to economic destruction, taking measures to impose burdens, and to drive away productive business.

And them we face the demographic catastrophe with the darkening of America. Aren't some 60% of blacks in NYC unemployed? Is that disproportionate? Minorities are less likely to be educated or employed, and are more likely to constitute an additional burden on society in addition to parasitical dependency for sustenance in that there is disproportionate criminality in that demographic. As the proportion of minorities increases, the sustainability of the economy becomes a less plausible outcome.

Are the homeboy-in-chief and his advisors alert to underlying trends as well as what appear to be immediate overt threats to our present economy's continuing ability to sustain us? Or do they care. Is Obama an agent to secure the end that his mentor, Rev. Wright, sought when he uttered the malediction from his pulpit, "God damn America?"

Could this be a conscious effort to foster "change" to destroy America? After all, throughout his lifetime, Obama has been conditioned to reject American values and exceptionalism, and to condemn America. His indoctrination as a youth in an Islamic maddrassah, his surrogate father, communist apparatchek Frank Davis, his chosen mentor for two decades, racist hate-monger Rev. Wright, his pal, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and of course his wife, grievance collector Michelle with a declared racial preference, who never liked America even when her husband was a U.S. Senator, until he was nominated for the Presidency, certainly reflect a milieu in which Obama has been conditioned to perpetrate the outrage in progress which will destabilize and destroy this country.

Johnson, I think there is enough to talk about without going off on some tangent about Rev. Wright, the "homeboy-in-chief", Frank Davis, etc. I think these tangents are the reason that people tend to skip over you posts. I think you make a great point early in your post that we can't just print money and expect things to get better. Moreover, I tend to agree with your sentiments regarding business and the finance industry; however, you make it hard to carry on a worthwhile debate with the above mentioned tangents. Let's focus on the point of the article and see where that takes us.
