(10,266 posts)WTF. Why can't we just build a damn tax-payer owned, GOVT. OPERATED clean energy company, put a branch office in every damn state, start making solar panels at cost (i.e., not for profit) and start calling home and business owners and asking if they want them stuck on their damn roofs for FREE?
How hard IS this?
And FUCK the incomming argument from the other side about how "thats a job for For-Profit Private Markets", if it were, they would have DAMN-WELL DONE IT ALREADY.
The Public Option isn't JUST applicable to HealthCare Delivery...and if the 'Baggers and Paulbots had ANY damn sense of the executables of their own ideas, they would have HAMMERED Congress not ONLY to let the banks go under, but seen to it beforehand that the Public Sector had been built up to such extent that the Big Banks could be ALLOWED to fail, and NOT drag the rest of the economy down with them when they fell. You want a reversal of Too Big To Fail? Make sure the Public Economy is adequatley supported ON IT'S OWN so the NEXT time wall st. does this ('cause they WILL do it again) you can just say, "Fuck you, we dont HAVE to help you, and the Randian Philosophy we all live by is that you shouldn't even be ASKING us for assistance; WE are FINE. We SAW to that already, by making sure we didn't NEED you to survive."
OMG I'm making Republican arguments for increasing the usefulness of the Public Sector, on behalf of the Public Good...(is that allowed here lol)...which begs the question..if WE can figure out their arguments FOR them, how is it that they CAN'T...
