If you owe much less than the limit of $1000 or 10% of income on April 15th, you're just being dumb. No sense in giving the pigdogs running Washington an interest-free loan for 15 months.

Here's hoping that the talk about alternative energy will further inflate some SPWR shares that I picked up when it was < 6.00

Many thoughts projected where pretty much impossible to get implemented in my opinion.

The average age of the congress men seemed a little too old as well to me.
There is a time frame to retire in the real world for many reasons. If not a majority have passed that age it must be close to it.

How many units or agencies have been created since you were born?
I missed the new police force. Care to illuminate?

He proposed no budget, only blamed the lack of one on others. He took credit for everything that has gone good and blamed others for all that has gone bad. He threw lots of gasoline on the class warfare fire which he started and has been feverishly fanning the flames. He tried to take credit for jobs as if he had fixed the economy and put through the Keystone XL.

Evidently his dream world is even further from reality than I thought. So what else is new?

Class warfare is real. The middle class is being exterminated by the upper class.

Tom he threw out the comment that he was going to establish a "Trade Enforcement Unit" to police trade.

Here is the copy from the trascript:

"Tonight, I'm announcing the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that will be charged with investigating unfair trade practices in countries like China. There will be more inspections to prevent counterfeit or unsafe goods from crossing our borders. And this Congress should make sure that no foreign company has an advantage over American manufacturing when it comes to accessing finance or new markets like Russia. Our workers are the most productive on Earth, and if the playing field is level, I promise you - America will always win."

Why can't an existing agency do this?

You mean being exterminated by the current socialist regime. The money people are simply trying to make more money. When they make more money, they USUALLY produce more jobs. Unfortunately with the current regime, they are not only allowed but also encouraged due to current taxes and regulations to make those jobs in China.

Good example is Immelt, CEO of GE making more jobs in China than anyone, but is currently B.O.'s coveted jobs consultant. Immelt is being effective producing jobs just as B.O. wishes, I would just prefer that they were in the US.

because a new agency is "creating jobs" and looks like he is taking credit for that too.

Of COURSE, he wants another agency. Gives him a chance to appoint one more faithfull Czar and make one more beauracracy to waste tax money on that can never be closed.

Actually the middle class is being exterminated by the government class.

Single parent family of 4 has more disposable income than a 2 parent family of 4 earning $60k.
Is that sustainable? Is it even moral? Is it what should be?

Don't forget that the middle class as we know it is being supplanted by government workers. Since B.O. took office the number of government workers making $170K has exploded.

B.O. really knows how to use your tax money and mine to make good, loyal, bearueacrats to do things like harass people at airports.
