I've posted here before about why buying a used car is better then a new car. Now Consumer Reports has verified this.
I purchased(on ebay) a 1995 Toyota Camry in 2005 with 102,000 miles on it for $4500. I still own it today. It now has 229,000 miles on it. I've put about $4000 in repairs into it over the last 7 years, but driving 18,000 miles a year is a lot of wear and tear. Whats more I never carried collision insurance on the car - so I saved even more then the article indicates.

Final Result = Humans do not cause climate change

I've argued many times on this blog that the data did not support anthropomorphic global warming. Now it seems the proof is in - Oceans control CO2 emissions.
There are several key items to get from this data
- The US that the fascists want to regulate is a net absorber of CO2
- The amount of CO2 emitted by humans is a fraction of that emitted by oceans and rotting vegetation
- Even though Gore tried to cover it up in Inconvenient Lie (see the BBC report) - CO2 follows warming. It does not cause it

Obama and the second great depression
I read Amity Shales "The Forgotten Man" that describes all of the mistakes that FDR made during the thirties. The Great Depression was not a failure of capitalism. It was created by government meddling and punishing the private sector.
Obama has followed FDR's model quite successfully so far. He has created an atmosphere of business uncertainty, demonized business and "the rich". This is the second time in history that Keynesian economics has proved to be an utter failure.
Will the US electorate learn from history and reject Obama. FDR fooled people for a decade.

Obama's leadership style
Caroline Glick has provided the most concise summary of what Obama is doing to the US
Subversive leadership
Subversive leadership
Obama’s leadership model is the model of subversive leadership. Subversive leaders in democracies do not tell their citizens where they wish to lead their societies. They hide their goals from their citizens, because they understand that their citizens do not share their goals. Then once they achieve their unspoken goals, they present their people with a fait accompli and announce that only they are competent to shepherd their societies through the radical shift they undertook behind the public’s back.

New web sites
I've been working on adding new websites with SiteBuildit.
In addition to Investing in Rental Properties I have built two new sites
Health and Fitness Monitors
Web Video for Dummies
I'm already earning more profit from these web sites then the cash flow from 5 houses without the risk or investment
