The French people have become increasingly fed up with what they see as the growing Islamization of France.
I have been reading a great deal about THORIUM reactors. It appears to be a magic bullet. I wonder if it is. I have friends who are interested in these things as I am. Chuck Comstock and Terry Bobzien will find this interesting. Maybe this whole energy thing is about to be solved.
Nuclear energy produces no greenhouse gases, but it has many drawbacks. Now a radical new technology based on thorium promises what uranium never delivered: abundant, safe and clean energy - and a way to burn up old radioactive waste.

Vanishing of jobs will plague the rest of this decade and more. Meaningful employment is no longer guaranteed to dutiful, studious members of the middle class in the Western world. College education, which was hugely expanded after World War II and sold as a basic right, is doing a poor job of prepa...

Last August (2009) I wrote a post entitled “Have We Already See the Abomination of Desolation?” (In hindsight, I probably should have titled it “Have We BEEN Seeing…”, for the issues at hand have been festering for ~40 and arguably 50 years here.)

A Voice From The Past That's Warning America
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

HOW TO CUT out of control government spending.
I’m always amused when I talk about returning to small government with some big government leftist and they ask (seriously!), what would you cut? Implying that there is nary an ounce of fat on the beast. My reply is usually “Give me a copy of the budget and a red pen and I’ll have the budget in surplus with room for a large tax-cut by dinner.”
Dept of Education – gone
Dept of Energy – gone
Dept of Labor – gone
Dept of HHS – gone
Dept of HUD – gone
EPA and OSHA - gone
AM TRACK - Sold to Private for a Dollar
National Endowment for the ARTS and NPR - Gone
Dept of Agriculture - Gone
SBA - Gone
Weather Bureau - Gone
Homeland security folded into Dept of Defense, duplicate functions eliminated
Dept of Defense (even though I think it’s one of the few legitimate things the Feds do, can eliminate a fair amount of waste as well and probably provide better defense for half the cost. Increase soldiers pay and eliminate the pork weapons systems)
Dept of Veterans affairs – also eliminate lots of waste and fold essential veterans services back into Dept of Defense
3 day a week post office delivery. Charge EXTRA for home delivery. Push towards Centralized mail pick up.
Exit the UN, let the third world thugs who drive its agenda pay for it. Sell the prime riverfront real estate in NYC. Start cutting foreign aid radically. We overdo it.
Medicare, Medicaid, So-so security – put all the liabilities back on budget so people know what’s actually been promised and why there’s no way we can pay it, start raising eligibility requirements and reducing benefits and begin privatization ala Chile so that people actually do have trust fund accounts and younger employees don’t get stuck with a 40 year savings account with a negative interest rate.
That should more than eliminate the deficit and that’s without the budget and a red pen.
If I think of more or if you can, let me know. Time to cut out the stupid. The way you get out of debt is to quit spending money.
