Time To Shrug

I am speechless! Shame on you if you even consider buying a Tesla. Shame on Toyota for not standing on principle. Toyota’s CEO should have read and understand Hank Rearden’s trial speech.

How the Japanese car maker came to sell a factory to Elon Musk at a knockdown price.

The Toyota sudden-acceleration furor of 2010 was one of those colossal American dishonesties for which a reckoning never comes. No electronic bug was ever found (as government researchers attested). And among the many untold aspects is the Tesla connection.

Budget Games

My comments:

This article sets the stage on why we cannot get rid of self-serving politicians of both political parties. If they all lie about the use of our money, what can we possibly trust them with? We need a system where the taxpayers can hold power over all spending and borrowing and have monthly veto privileges to insure accountability, much like a real corporation does.

The argument against this approach is that we have a representative government and as citizens do not have the knowledge and time to oversee our elected officials. BUNK. Look at the mess we have now then consider the knowledge and time we need to invest to insure accountability.

Commentary:

The standard media coverage of President Barack Obama's new budget claimed the proposals included $600 billion of budget cuts over the next decade.

It was just about impossible, though, to find any media story mentioning some basic numbers that belong in any story about a new federal budget. How much money is the federal government spending this year? How does that compare to what it spent last year, or expects to spend next year?

John Kerry's ObamaCare Boondoggle

A bipartisan backlash is growing against another section of President Obama's health-care law. The president can blame this latest embarrassment on none other than Secretary of State John Kerry.

Everyone remember the origins of the so-called Affordable Care Act? The Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, Gator-Aid, and other buyoffs for the votes of key Senate Democrats?

Three years on, yet another sweetheart deal has declared itself, this one inserted by the then-senator for Massachusetts. In Congress, it's becoming known as the Bay State Boondoggle.
