Encourage the Rebels

I'm going to agree with "rebel entrepreneurship." When will we stop fooling ourselves and instead of spending billions on social programs, we change the circumstances entirely? Instead of 8,500+ earmarks(wind & nod), how about we put thousands to work installing solar panels & windmills on ALL homes and businesses. Gee, now, that wouldn't make any sense would it? We would be polluting the earth with the materials and processes required to make the solar panels, right?! Right NOW we should do this to stimulate the economy, provide jobs, and guess what else? We will save hundreds of dollars possibly each month per household or business, and now get ready... We would be harvesting free energy the sun and earth already provide. Vindo Khosla, Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, T. Boone Pickens -- I've only written to two of you twice before. Now who is with me?

"Today every bill out of Washington is engineered by K Street lobbyists to protect the interests of incumbent corporations. "

Lobbyists have been ruining the country for decades, it's nothing new.

"Entrepreneurs often don't even know what legislation is being formulated."

And then you have the likes of Dick Cheney creating an "energy policy" with the same K Street lobbyists and cloaking it from public disclosure by wrapping the flag around it and calling it a matter of national security. Unethical scum has never been so bold or arrogant.
