Natural gas vehicles would help but geothermal is too expensive still. In order to drill a 600 foot deep 6 inch hole, you'd have to spend a ton of cash. I've heard estimates of up to $50,000. That would take far too long to pay for itself. Another source you failed to mention is NUCLEAR. Build several nuclear plants across the US. Then again, why not drill for oil and mine coal, and mine shale oil? We should be doing EVERYTHING we can do that is available and efficient to become less dependent upon foreign countries that hate us.
I guess Obama and some far left people missed out on this evolutionary adaptation. They'd rather let a baby die after being born due to a botched abortion.

I'm guessing that you're a member of the 1/2 a brain crew? You should have sprung for the whole thing, logical thinking is apparently not a factor when you only have half.

And the object of your sycophantism is STILL paying them, isn't he? By the way, those ridiculous sex parties were held under Obama's watch, moron. Sounds to me like he needs to take care of business. Why don't your write him and ask him why they are still there? I'll bet his answer would be:

OBAMA: Coopmeister, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.

I wish you all would stop using the term MSM. They are no longer main stream and haven't been for decades. A new term is in order. USM maybe....Urine Stream Media. I think this would be appropriate because they spend most of their reporting time to urinate on any story that may have the effect of awakening people to the fact that our emperor is wearing no clothing.

I hope the next installments of Acorn videos are more damning than this one. The woman on this video seems to me to be a meth head. Her actions make me believe that she is high. San Bernardino is a pretty nasty meth lab area after all. It still shows that Acorn should be dismantled but I thought the first three videos were far more damning.

"For every 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, teenage employment at small businesses is estimated to decrease by 4.6 to 9.0 percent.1

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, teen unemployment is at 24 percent, its highest rate in 17 years.2

For every 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, estimates show employment may fall as much as 8.5 percent for young black and Hispanic males age 16-19.3

African American teen unemployment is currently at 38 percent, which is four times the national unemployment rate and 27 percent higher than last year.2

According to U.S. Census data, only 16.5 percent of minimum wage recipients are raising a family on the...

"In reality low wages not only impoverish families, but lead to greater drug use, inspire hopelessness, perpetuate crime, boost work absenteeism and of course lower the quality of life for those in it and reduce the quality of service you receive as a consequence of being badly treated."

Where are the statistics that prove this?
I can spout anecdotal evidence as well.

What happens to consumer prices when the minimum wage is increased? It increases the cost of goods. Minimum wage earners will see no extra money because the price increase of items will override their increase in pay. At best they will see a tiny increase in disposable income.
On the other hand, those of us who took the time to educate ourselves in...

"They are killers looking for work."

You are an ungrateful piece of sh!t. You reap the benefits that this society has to offer and complain about the people who volunteer to protect your right to be a cowardly a$$.

What's worse than a killer looking for work? The person who hired this killer to do a job and then complains about how he accomplished that job.

You don't deserve to have the rights of an American because you don't appreciate the sacrifice that a few people make to preserve you rights.

"At least he's not using 'fear' of terrorism to get his way."

You're absolutely correct, he's not using 'fear' of terrorism to get his way because he ignores terrorism. By the way, it isn't terrorism anymore, it's man caused disasters.

He does use 'fear' of catastrophe unless we endorse every ridiculous bill that he wants to rush through Congress.

Which is worse? Using 'fear' of terrorism which is a proven threat or using 'fear' of some obtuse idea that the sky will fall unless we spend trillions of dollars NOW!?
