Why can’t they say no to all nations with nuclear weapons and use the United Nations to enforce this law?

the job of government is to help maintain our society. When it comes to how the society will generate its energy, then I want government getting involved. People are afraid that government will over power us and decide our every move. But in reality, government gathers together the best people from each field and has them come up with the best way to solve our problems. Unfortunately, their ideas get blocked most of the time. But, those are the people I want running the country.

that actually already happens all the time. They’re called lobbyists. Every Republican in Congress is bought by special interest groups. I hate when politicians give our tax money for bad causes. But that’s why we need to protest. However, giving out tax money to solar energy companies is something every American should be ok with.

People are so dumb. Government invested in a solar energy company because they wanted to invest in our energy future. That is a legit idea. That’s where I want my tax money to go. I don’t want it going to dropping bombs. And no one seems to know the real reason why Solyndra went under except for people who actually investigated. They went under because China decided to invest in their own solar energy future and they out competed us. People blame Obama when they should blame for not doing enough

the Solyndra loan guarantee was a multi-year process that the Bush Administration launched in 2007.

“Israel has 300 nuclear weapons” and immediately the reporter knew that he has to cut him off. Ron Paul is a psychological terrorist, he spreads this contagious substance called The Truth and it’s melting the skin off from the jews who dominate the media.

So according to your logic, even when the United States manufactured everything(we are still #1 but back when there was no competition), states that had almost no manufacturing(Vermont? – Hawaii?) had no jobs?
Cheaper goods allow our consumers to have more money to spend on other things. Trying to be protectionist and putting 50% tariffs to prevent goods being made in other country’s would be a direct tax on the consumers and would have other countrys doing it to us.

you forget that if China makes everything and sells it cheaper then what do we do other than spend? No job then we can no longer spend. After manufacturing then what other job is there? MacDonalds? Then it’s professional jobs like Doctor for those who can afford to pay for school. Get that! PAY for school as in who takes over after your old? Dumb people who could not afford an education. Of course they can always just email a diagnosis to an Indian doctor for pennies.

Right now, there is enough supply to meet the demand. When the demand is more than the supply, oil will rise(currently oil isn’t rising, the dollar is just decreasing). When the demand is more than the supply, prices will rise and there will be a bigger market for an alternative energy.
Let china subsidize there manufacturing, gives us cheaper goods at China’s expense. Cheaper goods means more money for the consumer to spend on other goods. +Life.
Free Market = wins.

6:04 funny like all hosts always start moving their heads looking to the side or down and start making weird grimaces, when the real facts come up like Iran having maybe 1 nuke and Israel 300..and then they start mumbling something in order to belittle the facts and move on to end the interview…I have seen this dozens of times with different hosts on different channels..they can not take the truth into their face…

They will NEVER win when Oil companies are the competition when the reality is when Oil abruptly runs out then your are fucked. They should be working on this technology and be immune to failure because the alternative of chaos when the electricity is shut off is worse.
China’s Government subsidizes their R&D and manufacturing so US markets will never be able to win. Capitalism and free markets don’t work anymore, WE ARE AT WAR WITH CHINA YOU DOPES! They will win because we are WEAK!

“Earlier this week, Stimulus beneficiary Evergreen Energy bit the dust. Then, Ener1, a manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles and recipient of Stimulus largesse, filed for bankruptcy. And today, the Las Vegas Sun reports that Amonix, Inc., a manufacturer of solar panels that received $5.9 million from the Porkulus, will cut two-thirds of its work force, about 200 employees, only seven months after opening a factory in Nevada.”

A lot of Americans bash Ron Pauls very rational “anti-war” stance, because they’re lazy and ignorant, and regurgitate what they’ve just heard the last time they tuned in to the Bill O’Reily Show. Most Americans have no clue what’s really going on, and are just following the corrupt mainstream media. Fortunately there is a growing movement now with Ron Paul. Ron Paul for president 2012!

ANOTHER SOLYNDRA
“Willard & Kelsey Solar Group LLC laid off about 40 people indefinitely at the beginning of January 2012…The start-up company has been plagued by a series of production and staffing delays since it was formed in 2008. It has received millions of dollars in government loans and tax breaks and has been toured by high-profile officials such as Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, and former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland.”

“Nearly two dozen Solyndra employees could receive bonuses ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 each under a proposal filed by Solyndra’s attorneys in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.
Most of Solyndra’s employees were laid off in 2011. The company employed about 1,100 people in 2011. Just 84 remain.
$535 million ÷ 84 = $6,369,047.62 of our money per useless ‘green job.’ ”

How the hell can you compare the Solynda “scandal” to Halliburton? The only reason Republicans freaked out over Solyndra is that the report showing private contractors like Halliburton wasted $60 BILLION in taxpayer money in the middle east had just come out. The program that backed Solyndra’s loan allowed for a default ratio of about 12%. Even with Solyndra’s default the rate as of now is under 4%. That allowance was made by the BUSH admin, by the way…

I was thinking the exact same thing. Why was he so negative? Because he really disapproves? Or because he suddenly wakes up out of his little dream and realises that Ron Paul is making sense. Nobody no matter how crazy likes the odds of 300 to 1. It seems no one is immune to the truth and common sense.
