BUT

it’s bad when we bail out companies, even if it’s for the greater good.

These sound likes comments from REAL democrats.

There is no point trying to convince many of the people who post comments in these forums of anything of a political nature. Instead of talking about electric cars and how things are progressing, they twist the argument to push for subsidies for vehicles that are not economically viable. Since logic does not work on many of these people, there is no point trying to refute their points logically. They will just shout you down. I have actually met people like this and discussed political ideas with them. I have found that when you nail them on a point they either respond by saying “Bush lied, people died” or by changing the subject.

I suggest that we share information of companies or ideas that are succeeding and not argue politics here. Is is doubtful that anyone will be persuaded by a post in these forums to alter their political view of the world. I know that I should just swear off reading the comments that people post, but I keep hoping for additional information about electric vehicles, not political diatribes. Silly me!

Dear McGarv,

I agree with you.
Let’s do it:

1. Take the subsidies from Exxon Mobil;
2. Take of the experiences for the “normal” military presence in the Persian Golf from the federal budget and add them to the crude oil;
3. Do the same with the additional expenses for the war in Iraq;
4. Put price on the air pollution and the associated health care cost and add it to the price of the cars and the fuel;
I like to run – pay me personally for the bad air;
5. Put price on the strategic risks and add it to the fuel.
6. Do the same with the global warming.

Now you have fare market prices – let the market work.

How to bail out the workers under new companies and new leaders?

They are like my teenager who did not study mathematics because it does not bring instant gratification, not even near term gratification, and now in a long term he is going to regret.

On top of that, it appears the majority wanted CHANGE without taking into consideration that CHANGE could also be for the worse. If you don’t think that one person can turn things upside down, look at the Johnson administration. He could have possibly screwed this country for good.

My final word, there was only one Democrat worth a shit was Harry Truman. He said “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician.
And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.
I, for one, believe the piano player job to be much more honorable than current politicians.” The Obama campaign is not much different than Microsoft. Spend millions of dollars on advertising to make everyone think your crappy product is something we need. And people bought into it.
