How about we DON’T flush billions down the toilet?
Michael Moore has outlined a plan that would solve the problem of the Big 3, but will Congress listen to him or the other millions of people who are against throwing billions into the wind?
We all know what would happen if Congress would give $25 billion $34 billion to Ford, GM and Chrysler, the same thing that happened to Wall Street — massive layoffs of thousands of people, a yo-yo stock market, a continuing recession.
Read further to learn about Moore’s plan to save the Big 3 (no, not by giving them billions of taxpayers’ money), and in turn save our economy, jobs, and the environment.
McCain won’t regulate greenhouse gas emissions
The truth spills out!
John McCain and Sarah Palin seem to be supporting technology that would help decrease the rising greenhouse gas levels, or so says their official website. What McCain’s “climate change” position doesn’t tell you is that John doesn’t plan to do a thing about global warming. Sure, he’ll tell corporations to “set limits on greenhouse gas emissions,” but these limits are voluntary, not mandatory.
It’s like asking metro passengers to move towards the center of the train car in order to allow for more people to cram into the train. Some passengers will do it automatically, but others will stand near the doors blocking everyone else’s way in and out of the train car.
A voluntary cap-and-trade system, optional wind and solar technology, and a recycle-if-you-feel-like-it mentality will not save the planet. If reduction of GHG emissions will not be a law, it won’t mean much.

There have been numerous videos made and many folksy songs written about McCain and Palin and their oh-so-crazy world. And now there’s a silly, but true, poem by Bruce Tenenbaum of the Huffington Post.
Read ahead for Bruce’s poem (don’t worry, it’s pretty short)!

Responses to the Bailout Bill
The US Congress passed Version 2 of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout bill last Friday. Whether or not it was the right decision to make will be evident in the coming weeks, months and years. And while the market still seems to be uncertain of the bill’s ability to fix our economy, President Bush is doing his best to convince his friends that it was a “clearly necessary” action. I, however, am doubtful such a reckless and rash band-aid of an attempt to fix the economy will be anything but unsuccessful, and will surely increase an already enormous national debt.
We’ve hand picked some of the best responses to the bill. Cenk Uygur tells us exactly why we should not pass (shouldn’t have passed) the bailout bill, and government officials give their scintillating comments to the media. Read further!
