		<description>My questions are:  Why does it take so long for the NEPA to approve a project?  Why cannot governmental red tape be avoided by offering bonuses to government and government related workers for quick and accurate work?  I am a Soldier.  Technically, and literally, I am a government worker.  I offer my Soldiers bonuses (not financial) as incentives and you would not believe the accuracy and speed of their work. 
I have lived under the NEPA umbrella for a long time.  It is not an efficient org nor will it ever be.  A safe haven for people who refuse to get a real job.  One where they can be held accountalbe for a product and a timeline. NEPA is a fine exaple of this quote &quot;a government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take everything you have.&quot; Can you believe Thomas Jefferson said that? That&#039;s just amazing. </description>

		<description>Is old Stupid playing ignorance or trying to Walz when he hasn&#039;t learned the Two Step yet??? 
(2) questions arise: (1) Is he aware of the cancellation of the fact NEPA will never see the lite of Day?? 
 
(2)If he knows it won&#039;t materialize, is it a preconceived awareness that these funds will be absconded with and stuck into some welfare package for instance??? </description>

		<description>The &quot;Porkulus&quot; bill that is being sold to the American people as a stimulus bill will not work for a very fundamental reason. 
 
If a nation&#039;s GDP consists primarily of service sector and public sector, there is no there there that can be stimulated by increased government spending. 
 
If the aggregate size and cost of governments in the US is reduced and the aggregate total of all taxation is reduced enough that manufacturers who produce in The United States can again be able to compete for shelf space in our own retail stores then perhaps in twenty to thirty years we will again have an economy that can be stimulated by increased government spending.  Other than that happening, forget it.  Stimulus spending will create the illusion that it is working for as the increased money flow is continued but as soon as the money flow is reduced the illusion will fade and the reality of a worse condition than had existed prior to the stimulus spending will become evident. 
 
Them ain&#039;t chickens comin&#039; home t&#039; roost.  Them&#039;s buzzards that was hatched in the twentieth century that&#039;s comin&#039; home t&#039; roost in the twenty-first century.  Just wait until the twentieth century vintage vultures and condors start to show. 
 
Great nations don&#039;t just die.  They are assassinated by the unthinking actions and the uncontrolled excesses of their own governments. </description>

		<description>Is it possible, do you think, that some provision will in fact be made to exempt these &quot;stimulus&quot; measures from NEPA holdups? And then, could these same exemptions be applied to other investment projects, real and necessary projects? If so, something good might come from this so called &quot;Stimulus.&quot; Otherwise it seems that it will simply be throwing treasure down the drain.  
 
It is a little early now, but if this ideology-backed action looks like ruining the country then there will be ample justification for civil war. </description>

		<description>What is the real reason for Obama to come out like ajunk yard dog to yell the sky is falling over the Blaoted so called stymulus bill that was a creation of Pelisi under the influence of Mysterious substances??? 
Tarp, rushed under the same &quot; skay is falling&quot; fera tactics has proven to be a flaming didaster so before wasting any more of the borrowed foreign capital at increasingly higer interewst rates why not look at all the components loike 88Mill for Milwaukee Schols that Milwaukee says &quot;not Needed&quot; since enrollment is down 23% and school builkdings are Empty and instead look at huistorical things that actually led to a financial turn around???? and I don&#039;t mean funding Acorn either!
