When Keynesian economics was suggested it was laughed at and turned away but afterwards was used by most Republicans. The problem is that most Republicans don't seem to know how to balance Keynesian style economics with other forms of economics. They also seem to like to defend corporations from taxs, ok mainly Bush. In the next four years we need to raise taxes for corporations and focus on alternative power sources. Nuclear and Solar are the keys to the future of US power. If we can move that direction we can solve a lot of problems.

Agree 100%. Republicans for whatever reason have been very Keynesian recently. If you cornered them on that though they would probably deny it. The government is hemmoraghing money while a lot of corporations (not ones who bought into the housing market though) are doing moderately well even during the recession (which was partially caused by the government not collecting corporate taxes).
Nuclear and solar are definitely our best options to fix our energy needs. Wind is feasible in some parts of the country too, as it can be done on land used for other things, such as ranching land.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
