  1. I'm wishing this would shock me just a little...When we are all shivering in the dark, it will be a "perfect" world for these guys...Thanks for posting.

    That's the beauty of communism: force everybody down to the lowest common denominator...and then reward only those you like.

    Don't think for a minute that 0bama was kidding when he said he was going to "fundamentally transform" America. He and his ilk are doing exactly that.

  2. Customers effectively pay the tax for the corporation on inventory as well as other taxes. The corporation just is doing the collecting for the IRS.

    The customer is willing to spend the same or more for obsolete or classic parts to keep their stuff going. The corporation doesn't ever lower the price on an obsolete part even though the design cost and tooling cost have long since been amortized.

    Bingo.

  3. The F-35 was never meant to be a dogfighter. It was designed to be a bomb truck and interceptor. We designed the F-22 Raptor to be a dogfighter...and then only bought 187 of them.

    We'd have been much better off canning the F-35 project years ago and buying more F-22s for air superiority and buying updated F-15s and F-16s for the air force and upgraded F/A-18s for the navy.

  4. The EPA needs to put a moratorium on additional CAFE or emissions standards for the next ten years. They've pushed so hard for the last eight years, really screwing up the industry and costing everybody ridiculous amounts of money due to new technology that is neither proven nor reliable. Give it ten years to allow the current tech to mature, while providing plenty of time to look ahead to the next round of standards.
