Taxpayers Slam President Obama's 'Cash for Plug-Ins' Program

HOENIG The president is insisting on getting people to drive electric cars literally no matter how many tax payer dollars it takes in the process. $2.5 billion in grants for electric cars, $2 billion in grants for batteries, $250,000 to rectify the plug in stations, the $7,500 rebate you talked about, $10 million for towns to promote electric use of those vehicles, and for what?

Oil Plug Idea

Ok, here goes for ideas from common folk on how to plug the oil leak at the bottom of the gulf.
