He had two compare the difference between the 1950s and today. Smart women in the work force are marrying smart men and there for it increases the income inequality gap. I didn't know that statistics regarding income inequality was based on Joint Returns. "Divorce rate impoverishes." Divorce dominates the lower income classes in society. "...Marriage is a tool to reach wealth."
These are the three myths of income inequality according to Larry Kudlow:
- inequality is at an all time high and rising
States the Kudlow Report, the all time high was 2007 and not 2014. Really? Before the 2008 crash and while the housing market bubble was deflating.
- rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poor
The Kudlow Report's propaganda about this states it is only the 0.1% that is causing the gap. Wow, that was a genius statement if I ever heard one.
- permanent plutocracy
Supposedly the plutocrats are moving in and out of wealth acquisition all the time. I suppose it is like the market today as they moved from stocks to bonds to cover any losses in the so called emerging markets that all the propagandists played up as a great happening in the world while the 0.1% did so well. Mutual funds across the board had increases.
Larry states the President doesn't get the wealth message. He further stated Bill Gates, the Late Steve Jobs and Mark Zukerberg have created more millionaires in recent years. Larry states all those millionaires that these men created will put that money back into the economy.
I am trying to figure out if the new millionaires created by all those folks were at all in the USA. I think it is very sad when propaganda is all one hears when it should be sound fiscal advise. No excuses.

The only positive out of this program was about immigration. Kudlow states immigration reform is a pro-growth economy. It amounts to more consumers of local economies when their pay rate is better and they are Americans. Right now immigrants locked out of good wages live and breath at Walmart.
The winners in the US stock market today were primarily electronics, digital, semi-conductors of well standing companies. The softer consumer stocks such as McCormick, Avon, of course Boeing, the troubled Yahoo and computer storage stocks all were losers today.

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Motorists need to pull to the side of the road where they are. Not drive down the side of the road, but, pull to the side. If the traffic is reduced by 75% the roads will become passable.
CAR POOL WITH STRANGERS to warm storm centers.
Once again. If three out of every four cars are pulled to the side of the road, the road will become passable. If needed tow trucks can recover the cars at the side of the road later.
Get them out of the cold!
The State Police and National Guard has to start at one end of the traffic and work toward the middle. It won't take long provided every car has fuel. The police might want to call in tow trucks for those without fuel. A 'gas can' convoy to get them moving.
What a flyin' liar this man is.

The talks through the EU resulted in an Iranian President hell bent on returning to the Holocaust.
I do believe the Iranian President that returned to the Holocaust was evident under Bush and this idiot.
John Bolton, the Ambassador of War. He has been and remains completely laughable. At one point, the UN never wanted him to make a speech on premises. He finally was able to secure a room for one speech. OMG. He couldn't even make in roads with the United Nations, yet alone Iran.
John Bolton should have been so lucky to actually know the country code for Iranian telephones. I have never laughed this much in my life. I'll be back later.
Report: US and Iran laying framework for first direct talks in over 30 years
09/12/2013
US President Barack Obama (click here) has exchanged letters with his new Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani in recent weeks, and the two leaders may hold a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York later this month, The Los Angeles Times quoted US officials as saying.
According to the Thursday report in the Times, Washington and Tehran have been discussing the situation in Syria and tentatively laying the framework for direct talks over Iran's disputed nuclear program...
This is Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)
The beautiful part of VAWT is that is can be used SINGLY by anyone. The turbine can be any size. It doesn't take a wind farm to produce electricity. It can be set at heights of twelve feet depending on the wind patterns. These can be set up at docks where the wind is reliable and supply electricity to boats.
There are a million and one places for this form of wind turbine and it doesn't have to cause bird deaths. It can be placed in heights and locations that do not interfere with migration routes. It is completely resistant to snow and icing.
The USA's wind turbine industry in Michigan should investigate the potential of market share and manufacture them domestically.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)(click here) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set
vertically and the main components are located at the base of the
turbine. They have their main rotor shaft arranged vertically. The main
advantage of this arrangement is that the wind turbine does not need to
be pointed into the wind. This is an advantage on sites where the wind
direction is highly variable or has turbulent winds.
Employing Darrieus wind turbine, Giromill, Savonius wind turbine & Twisted Savonius vertical axis sub-techniques yields power generation with good efficiency.
These types of installations can be packed closer together in wind farms, allowing more entities in a given space. They require less wind, thus allowing them to be closer to the ground. They can be easily maintained with less operating costs....

I don't know how many times I stated in meetings with panel after panel for years, "The price of natural gas will skyrocket."
TRAVERSE CITY — A “perfect storm” of conditions (click here) is causing propane
prices to spike, hitting families hard during the coldest winter in
recent years.
Propane prices rose to a statewide average of $2.73 per gallon on Jan. 20, according to the Michigan Public Service Commission, although propane providers said prices are now even higher. Some propane customers locked in prices through price-set plans at the beginning of the winter, but others are now footing the bill of higher prices due to cold weather, shortages of propane and other factors.
“Some people have described this as a perfect storm of multiple factors coming together at the same time to create this supply problem,” said Judy Palnau, a media and public information specialist for the Michigan Public Service Commission.
Scott Overholt, the owner of Traverse City based Tri-Gas Distributing Company, said propane prices rose an average of 85 cents in the last week, bringing costs up to around $3.46 per gallon. Matt Stevens, owner of Buckley-based Stevens Propane, said prices have spiked dramatically....
This time last year the same community paid $1.85 per gallon for propane. In order to extract propane, methane has to be refined.
...Propane is in fact a different fuel from natural gas, (click here) though the two are closely related. So what’s the difference between these two fossil fuel cousins?
Chemical Makeup
Natural gas that is drilled out of the ground is actually a mishmash of several gases. Methane is the biggest component of unrefined natural gas, and is the one gas left at the end of the refining process. So when someone uses natural gas for cooking or heating in their home, they are essentially burning methane with an odorant (added for safety, it makes gas leaks more easily detectable) and a few other additives. Other components of unrefined natural gas include butane, ethane, and propane. That’s right, propane is actually a part of unrefined natural gas that is separated out during the refining process sold separately. Both refined natural gas and propane are hydrocarbons (nature-formed compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon). Propane’s chemical formula is C3H8 and methane’s is CH4....

The President is reacting to decades old dialogue. Most probably from the petroleum industry and political mindspeak.
It is too late for transitions fuels. I just is. Scientists have discovered a way to roll back time. Building more natural gas power plants are a mistake. The industry will fight any and all regulations from now to the end of time. The petroleum industry does not care about human life. I doubt they care about any form of life at all

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, (click here) at long last, published its rule to limit carbon emissions from new power plants. The proposed rule appeared Wednesday in the Federal Register, four months after EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy announced it back in September.
The regulation mandates that all future coal plants can emit just 1,100 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour. An average U.S. coal plant currently dumps over 1,700 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for every megawatt-hour of energy it produces. The rule also covers new natural-gas fired plants. Natural gas plants, 100 megawatts or larger, will be limited to 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour, while smaller plants could emit no more than 1,100 pounds.
Modern combined-cycle natural gas plants are essentially already able to meet this standard. The rule, will however, make it very difficult for new coal-fired power plants to be built in the United States. Utilities will only be able to build new coal plants if they are able to capture 20 to 40 percent of the carbon they emit and store it underground. This technology is known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). Many coal advocates in Congress and fossil-fuel industry leaders have argued that the standard is designed to nix new coal plant construction, claiming that the CCS technology needed to meet the standard simply isn’t ready for commercial deployment...

The commander-in-chief and Sergeant 1st Class Remsburg go way back, at least as far as presidents and grunts can go. They first met on June 6, 2009, in Normandy, during the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. “He was a strong, impressive young man, had an easy manner,” Obama told Congress, and the nation, on Tuesday night. “He was sharp as a tack.” That was the first of their three get-togethers before Tuesday....
