Well, as Nina says,
it’s [the stimulus package] a trillion dollar mulligan. You know, the
first rule in Washington is if you’re in a hole, stop digging. And this
is digging more and more into the hole.

The administration
argues that the reason unemployment is higher than they projected is
that the stimulus hasn’t yet kicked in. Well, if that is the case, why
would you argue for a second stimulus that’s going to add another $1
trillion to the debt when there is no evidence yet, admittedly—you
would admit yourself there is no evidence—that the first stimulus had
worked.

And secondly…if
you’re going to add on a second stimulus after arguing that the lag in
the effect of the stimulus is large—and that’s why we haven’t seen any
effect yet—that means that the effects of the second stimulus would be
way down the road. It would be kicking in at a time when the
administration itself is projecting that the economy will be rising and
in recovery.

So it will overheat
and over-stimulate the economy, add to inflation rates, and add hugely
to our debt at a time when we already have rumblings from the Russians,
the Chinese, and even the Indians today of removing the dollar as the
world reserve currency.

“If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes,” Hoyer told CNSNews.com at his regular weekly news conference.

The World's First LED Interior-Lighted Treehouse

That is, if you believe the human-caused Global Warming hypothesis. But in any case, with electrical rates soaring and expected to continue going up, anything that saves more than two thirds of energy use is good.  Located In California, the treehouse pictured above was completed in May 2009 and is, I believe, the world’s first treehouse with interior Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting. There is a UK-based company that sells treehouse kits, some of which have outside decks. Their deck kits have LED lights you can mount in the decks to light the house exterior, but they have no internal LED lighting. I claim the above as the world’s first. The LED light engine is mounted in the center, on the ceiling, and provides excellent white interior light equivalent to a 100-Watt incandescent light bulb, but uses only ~13W.

What does this have to do do with politics? Once again, it is the Conservative who actually goes out and implements energy-saving technology in a practical way, at their own expense. Even in a small way like this  it is action. Frauds such as AlGore  just talk about it while using it to get rich and dupe others into supporting them.

This saves 87% of the electrical energy that would have been used with incandescent lighting.  Plus NO toxics: No Lead, no Mercury!
