I also believe that freedom has been taken away to a huge extreme in this nation.<br /><br />EG: It is illegal to sell milk straight from a cow. You can give it away - but if you sell milk that hasn't been pasteurized, you face a 5 year federal prison sentence. That does not sound like a free market to me.

There simply isn't a high enough demand for Electric Cars because there aren't enough charging stations set up.<br /><br />Transitions to new technology (even if it isn't complicated) takes a while - and at the beginning of course it's going to be expensive.<br /><br />Besides skipping all of the overburdening regulations, a free market allows businesses to find and take advantage of the most efficient ways of...

How do you get the price down that low for ANY electric? Outlaw union wages. Limit corporate executive salaries. Drastically reduce CEO salary and bonuses.<br /><br />Not just at the auto companies but to all the suppliers as well. Suddenly you will have a booming economy.

And regulate to the point where it unprofitable to do research and develop new products. Once our industry is completely stamped out from overburdening regulations - the government can grow and supply us with jobs - all at a loss of course.<br /><br /><br />Honestly - did AIG deserve the huge bailout they got, and if so, did their CEOs deserve the millions they got in bonuses that year?<br /><br />And when we can't afford the interest...

A couple legislators introduced a bill to subsidize the purchase of electic cars again. Only comes to a few billion. These cars are something like $45,000.00 or so. Now what kind of income does it take to purchase a car in that price range. And they complain about giving tax breaks to the wealthy. <br />Budget crisis or what

In the topsy-turvy, Alice-in-Wonderland alternative universe of the tea party and its Republican toadies, small-government and free-market economic policy will save the nation from disaster. In fact, as thinking Americans know full well, the current economic crisis is largely due to the unmitigated greed of Wall Street banks and American homeowners, abetted for years by the free market nonsense that Reps. Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachmann continue to foist on the public. When the history of this era is written, it will be clear that the Obama administration's aggressive action saved the nation from a fate far worse than the current recession.
