		<description>demrcloseminded,
Nuclear energy cheap?
How much does it cost to store the most dangerous substance we know for 4 BILLION years?
Give me a rough estimate in 2009 dollars.
It is not liberals who have prevented nuclear plants from being built in the past 25 years---it is costs.  The costs of solar energy are rapidly going down.

BTW, Reagan was on GE&#039;s payroll.  GE built nuclear plants.  GE owns NBC.  Limbaugh on NBC&#039;s payroll.  ETC.</description>

i’m glad that you all are so stupid. it puts a perspective on things.

Pure projection see the problem is you are monumentally ignorant. So astonishingly stupid in fact that you cant even RECOGNIZE higher brain function. I think that gives you something to shoot for. Clearly PERFORMING higher brain function will always be far beyond your pathetic abilities, however if you try hard, the day MAY come that you can recognize it. Till them you are just a brainwashed braindead moron without a clue.</description>

I am not complaining.  Overall I think the bill is fine but it should not be rushed out the door without examining the little details that will bite you later.

Sometimes we gotta stop being blinded behind the &quot;Messiah&quot;&#039;s shining light.</description>

		<description>Hey Repsarestupid

There is no downside to wind and solar they dont have the dangers of nuclear. I am all for doing the research for fusion but todays reactors have too much downside. Wind and solar would also create jobs not to mention we could push the research to the point WE are light years ahead of the rest of the world in green energy production. You are fighting the last energy war and you already lost that argument. Then again Reps ARE stupid</description>

		<description>you know what congress should build before it builds wind farms and new roads? it should build breeder nuclear reactors. Not only does this give us jobs, but it gives us clean cheap energy. It could also open up more research into the field. Right now China is years ahead of us in terms of developing new nuclear tech. We could fix that and give people jobs, and help the private sector and help reduce America&#039;s carbon footprint (not that it needs reducing) just by building these reactors.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;adviceguy_07 Says: 

Let me give you some math about US deficit. There is not just one person or party to be blamed.&lt;/em&gt;

The problem is using that to complain about this bill.  The difference between the spending before and the spending now is that this spending will give us something to show for it.

Let me give you a simple analogy: let&#039;s say you nearly max out your credit card going to movies and restaurants.  Then, realizing how indebted you are, you decide you need to get some income.  This is like buying an interview outfit because all of your clothes are old t-shirts and cutoffs.  You can complain that you&#039;re already so much in debt that you should stop spending, but the fact remains that you have to actually &lt;strong&gt;invest&lt;/strong&gt; in order to fix the problem of your broke-ness.

So Republicans whine about Democratic spending?  They&#039;re the ones who &lt;strong&gt;blew&lt;/strong&gt; the vast majority of that deficit on pew-pew-boom-boom good times.  Which would be fine if they didn&#039;t already smash the economy to hell.  Now we have to get the economy back on its feet, and that requires investment, period.  The significant difference here is between stupid overspending and intelligent investment.  Republicans do the former, Democrats the latter.

Thus, Republicans are in no position to complain about the current slate of Democratic spending initiatives.

Yeah, but so do Communists.  They&#039;d do well to remember that.</description>

<p>Let me give you some math about US deficit. There is not just one person or party to be blamed.</em></p>
<p>The problem is using that to complain about this bill.  The difference between the spending before and the spending now is that this spending will give us something to show for it.</p>
