Posted by Nilet on Sun Jul 5 22:11:27 2009, in response to Re: LIC Yuppies get steamed, posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Jul 5 21:19:39 2009.  Believe me, I don't much like the Democrats either.First they passed a stimulus bill which was way too small, and then a climate change bill which didn't crack down on polluters in any meaningful sense, and now they seem poised to "compromise" on a public health plan which is itself a compromise from single payer. And Obama is apparently either too cowardly or too corrupt to prosecute Bush & Company, and has apparently decided he's having too much fun playing with all the illegal powers Bush seized for the White House. :( That's the problem— conservative policies have proven to be utter failures, yet there are no adults in Washington who are ready to admit it and try something that works. Sure, it'll be tricky trying to get out of this mess, but it doesn't take much more than basic common sense to reinstate Glass-Steagall and bring back the 90% top marginal tax rate (policies that were successful in America's past), institute a public health plan or single payer (policies that are successful in every other modern democracy), tax polluters and provide incentives for clean energy (policies that will be necessary to our long-term economic health) and ban torture, prosecute those who ordered it, did it, and covered for it, and reaffirm that anyone accused of wrongdoing is entitled to a fair trial (policies so obvious that anybody who opposes them is almost certainly an idiot or malicious). |

I have noticed trains at atlantic yards area running air conditioning all days with the doors openCan anyone on this board tell me why it takes and hour to shut off an engine? It is a big waist of fuel and pollution. "Also, the feds mandate a full inspection of each passenger coach's brake system "if a train is shut down for more than four hours," Arena added. "This, in itself, is a labor-intensive process." Is this the real reason. The management at the yard found it easier to leave the trains running than doing a break inspection. That makes me beg to ask the question are all these extra break inspections really needed if the mta has been leaving trains on not to do them |

"Diesel Locomotives do not use anti-freeze and so they must be running or drained in cold weather."It is a rare event in NYC where it is cold enough that an engine could not stay a few hours without anti-freeze mid day. this is just another example out of many hundreds where the mta takes the easy way out and has an utter disregard to the money it entrusted to spend. If the mta was an unsubsidized private company this type of BS would not happen. If you look at the level of innovations that took place at the irt and bmt and the utter lack of any innovations since the city and mta took over it is crazy. The rider and the taxpayer is secondary to what is easier for the management. Line workers just take there cues from management. |

Posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Jul 5 22:35:43 2009, in response to Re: LIC Yuppies get steamed, posted by brightonr68 on Sun Jul 5 22:13:47 2009. Can anyone on this board tell me why it takes and hour to shut off an engine? It is a big waist of fuel and pollution.It does not. A diesel locomotive can be turned off in a matter of seconds. There are fuel cut-offs on both sides by the fuel tanks, there is an emergency cutoff on the rear bulkhead of the operating compartment, as well as inside of the engine compartment. Finally, you can just shut it down by pulling the throttle out and then pushing past idle into stop. All it takes is a second. no problem at all. But... if it is cold out side, then you have to drain all of the cooling water and domestic water on board the locomotive, and don't forget to drain the batteries too. Locomotives and other large diesel engines cannot use anti-freeze. ROAR |

What is the incentive to invest in income producing ventures at that point?It existed but virtually no-one ever paid it. Don't forget that the high marginal rates also came with a lot more deductible items. Things like credit card interest, car loan interest, medical expenses in excess of 3% of AGI, full casualty losses, full deductibility of miscellaneous deductions, etc. On the income side all passive losses and real estate losses could offset other income classes, social security and unemployment was not taxable, etc... If you restore the high marginal rates then it will be only fair to restore all deductions and the tax-free status of such things as social security and unemployment. |

"it doesn't take much more than basic common sense to reinstate Glass-Steagall "The only problem is that a full reinstatement would mean the end to NYC as the financial power. "bring back the 90% top marginal tax rate (policies that were successful in America's past)" But as another poster mentioned you could deduct so much stuff you pay less tax then you do now. The average folk like yourself does not know that and the liberal people who are using that as a reason a 10 or 15% increase in marginal tax would kill the economy. It will!!! Every extra dollar sucked up into the gov web means a dollar that is not spent and a job that no longer exists. basic economics. Our gov spends money on nonsense that helps the party stay in power not in a wise way. "institute a public health plan or single payer (policies that are successful in every other modern democracy)" Just take a look at medicare which still pays for full tanks of oxygen each months even for people who needed it only once and a while at a cost of $800. 3 years back when congress acted to end this huge waste of cash and reform the system to be on par with modern needs the oxygen tank lobby phoned thousands of seniors and scared them into calling thier congressman . We are paying though the nose for oxygen companies to pick up virtually full tanks and replace them with new tanks while the local drugstore sells mini tanks for 1 tenth of the cost that are perfect for most people. Without penalties for people who abuse their bodies such a a system does not work. DOCTORS IN europe are substandard to us doctors. We need to PUT CAPS ON MALPRACTICE LIABILITY and PUNISH LAWYERS WHO bring fake suits that drive up cost. OBOMA does not want to do this. "tax polluters and provide incentives for clean energy (policies that will be necessary to our long-term economic health)" Only problem is that many of these "polluters" are industrial companies such as steal mills which have already cut emissions big time. these tough rules you are calling for put them out of business and steal mills in other countries like china who pollute far more win the business. I am all for cutting pollution but the policies you are calling for just don't work. Allow off shore drilling off florida and california but tax it at the same rate the the arabs do and use that money to fund research on batteries and money for apartment houses and coops to install electric meters, install charging stations for electic cars They need to go after low hanging fruit to pollution savings such as the lirr shutting off thier diesil locos in afternoon, nyct running short trains overnight and no artics after 10 pm. Pollution savings that don't drown the economy 50 years ago the US had no compition Europe was still recovering Asian was not industrialized We were the only game in town. not any more and we need to remember this when we make changes and ban torture, prosecute those who ordered it, did it, and covered for it, and reaffirm that anyone accused of wrongdoing is entitled to a fair trial (policies so obvious that anybody who opposes them is almost certainly an idiot or malicious).

It provided jobs and a resurgence in farm economy. American farmers could feed the world AND fuel cars if somebody would PAY them to work. When the income from crops do not cover farm inputs then they cannot work.Many of those "farm" programs pay money to take land OUT of production, a sop to the environmentalists. When fuel prices went up FARM PRODUCTION ALSO WENT UP because there was money to be made in fuel crops. But by how much *Really* did your food prices go up? Not much,eh? most of the costs at your end of the food chain come from packagers shippers and sellers. NOW as for bid-free contracts with HALIBURTON. You are full of bovine by-product. THOSE contracts were bid and signed in the Clinton years. When Bush needed to ramp up support services for troops overseas, Haliburton already *had* the contingency contract for such services, and while they were new services, it was an old service agreement that was already in place.
