Default Doubters Repudiated by Republican Economists

www.bloomberg.com

Republican lawmakers have played down the significance of hitting the debt limit, saying the U.S. can avoid default by putting aside funds to pay bond holders. Economists affiliated with the party aren’t so sanguine.

Isaac Asimov - "There is a cult of ignorance in the US - GOP, Fox News.... Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' "

Conserv. Econ. Ben Stein on Faux: "I hate to say this on Fox - and I hope I'll be allowed to leave here alive - but I don't think there is anyway we can cut spending enough to make a meaningful difference," Stein told the three shocked co-hosts. "We're going to have to raise taxes on very rich people, people with incomes of like say, 2, 3 million a year and up, and then slowly move it down."

Tar Sands Blockade

Just under 100 people gathered at Victoria Square in Montreal shortly before 4 p.m. to march against Enbridge's Line 9 tar sands pipeline, when police took to their loudspeakers to declare the march illegal.

Organizers didn't divulge the march's route to police, a violation of Montreal's P-6 bylaw. The crowd marched just a few blocks north on Beaver Hall St. before cops began converging on them and corralling people back toward Victoria Square.

Eventually riot police charged into the crowd, snatching several young men and surrounding a group of 29 people — who were processed in city buses and fined nearly $700 for participating in an unlawful assembly.

Oh, Canada.

Loving never needs anyone or anything to fight for less suffering, more joy, in the world.  That’s what Loving does, with every breath given.

But to fight Effectively, with Amplitude, with Duration, that’s different. Those depend on the Support, Friendship, Loving of others, for the Work.

With Wonder, and Appreciation, to such Loving, such Friendship, such Support for the Work...

A Plan to Power 100 Percent of the Planet with Renewables: Scientific American. www.scientificamerican.com

Our plan calls for millions of wind turbines, water machines and solar installations. The numbers are large, but the scale is not an insurmountable hurdle; society has achieved massive transformations before. During World War II, the U.S. retooled automobile factories to produce 300,000 aircraft, and other countries produced 486,000 more. In 1956 the U.S. began building the Interstate Highway System, which after 35 years extended for 47,000 miles, changing commerce and society.
