The national debt is increasing at the rate of $100 billion per month and this "will" eventually debase the U.S. dollar. Just how long that takes is NOT a question of if it will, but when it will. Our concern should be the future deterioration of the greenback, an ever expansive money supply and the rising U.S. national debt. This will eventually push domestic inflation and interest rates much higher! It will be negatively impacting the American economy, our equities, and make rampant inflation the way of life we pass to our children.

Just ask Germany for a bail out. They have loads of money.
Foxxie: Time for a no profit massive infrastructure program to get employment and business moving world wide.
Sometimes you need to spend money where no business people would even think of spending it to achieve a long term massive return.

When hyper-inflation kicks in at first some folks will grin they can pay off their old loans with a can of beans but when their stock of beans runs low there'll be no place left to go for the price will be, by then, beyond their means
Any savings tucked away will lose value every day so we'll have to spend as quickly as we're able And we won't discriminate money dwindles if we wait we'll be lucky to put something on the table
shelves will empty in the store long lines waiting at the door got to spend it quick before it disappears. the consumer nation's done don't complain, we had our fun now the cattle will be lean for seven years

You missed the point. I am talking about something not designed to make a profit that through its development creates a large number of jobs and grows related industry and small business.
Are you suggesting that the Hoover Dam was a mistake? Perhaps it should be dug up then. Often in these kinds of developments the profit made is the increase in technology and infrastructure that can then in turn be used by the very business men and women you describe in their own external projects to make money.
Stop thinking with your wallet and start thinking with your head.

First of all - when did I ever say a thing about wind power? Why do you seem to think I am some weed smoking greenie?
Secondly - the whole dams issue is nonsense. The dams are not overbalancing the world. Total hogwash.
Lastly - the very fact that you grew up with a father who was a banker is EXACTLY why you cannot conceive why the world is not always about money. It is also why you cannot understand that a government endeavour can make money flow within the community and in private enterprise (both large and small) without actually returning a profit in itself.

Like it or not the fact is simple EVERYTHING has a cost, and for jobs that equals money. "IF" any Gov could do as you say why does EVERY gov spend so much? Why is almost every Gov in deep financial trouble? The Govs say they are working to make jobs! They do a REALLY crappy job of that, but who said they were intelligent?
YOU said dams, not me, so I covered energy as thats why the dams were built. Just because you choose not to believe the geologists about the dams is not my problem.
