ParticipantI have one! Wahoo!
I am not going to give it up on the internet, because that is just plain stupid (just kidding), but I have one. I am really excited about it.
To be honest I wish it were an idea as simple as a tech start up, something as simple as an iphone app, but it is not. I long for an idea with such low investment cost.
It is time to do my research, put together my powerpoint slides and work on my elevator pitch.
Either way, lets all make some money! wahoo!
(too many wahoos? who knows really? Is there ever enough wahoos? am I rambling?)

ParticipantCome on CAR…These goals are not mutually exclusive. Just because we bailed out the financials, which I was against from the start does not mean that we should avoid the public sector problem. They are completely unrelated as far as the burden to the taxpayer/state is concerned. Do them both, but if you can only politically do one, than do one! If I were faced with an either or decision, it would be to kill the bankers, but that is not my decision…unilaterally of course.
The public unions have to go. if it makes good economic sense to pay firemen outlandish wages, than it will be so (as you claim). An accountable, fiscally speaking, government will make it so. But the unions are not the ones we should be looking to for responsible wages. We should be looking to what the market can bear. And if the market determines that adequate pay for fireman is 1XXk per year than an accountable government can pay that. Maybe I live in a fantasy land, but that makes sense to me.
As for the bankers, string them up.
Come on CAR stop holding the bankers as your hoop to jump through before addressing all the other state budget issues. I don’t think CA had a hand in TARP. So stop linking the two. They are two independent indiscretions that need to be dealt with independently.

Participant[quote=patb][quote=jstoesz]for the record I love NPR. Especially the This American Life and Radio Lab and planet money…programs. You all must check it out. Especially on your 6 hour drives to the mountains (maybe that is just my former self talking). But why in Gods name is my tax money going to pay for it? To be honest, I don’t even mind the lefties…There is some damn fine programming. Oh and their music website is absolutely amazing![/quote]
It’s called establishing culture.
Sure NPR could go commercial, and next thing you know it’s 18 minutes of ads an hour.
why do we spend tax money on parks, libraries and fountains?
Look, where my tax money shouldn’t go is to wall street. I have no problem with it going to fix the things I need.[/quote]
I want me free stuff and I want it now!
Excellent use of the word need…
