When I see this hat or any "american hat" I just picture some fat guy with beer stains on his shirt and a beer in both hands yelling "WE GONNA GEET MORE BEER! YEEEE AMERICAAA"

Sorry if this offends those who are fat and drink beer, but this is the image the media is portraying as the average US citizen, those with NO culture (does being rich and selfish count?).

If you guessed by now, I dont like americans, but their TV is good.]]>Jul 6th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/Are you call our media trash ?

You argue that the government is making you pay for others internet service when this has nothing to do with subsidizing our internet bills. It has to do with development and improvement of broadband penetration in the US due to its enormous economic impact.

Of course they could also change telecom regulations, but it would be incredibly difficult to do so with such entrenched interests. And would you think a company would fund development project when they know their customers have no other provider?

Had the Bush Administration completely paid down our debt, the deficit would not be as big of an issue as it is now. The government is supposed to pay down its debt during the good times and then run a deficit during the bad times. The government cannot save up emergency funds the way the average person can because if the government is running a surplus and has no debt, taxpayers will demand a tax cut, so the only way the government can save for an emergency is by paying down its debt and then running a deficit in an emergency. Bush should have used the surplus he inherited from Clinton to pay down the debt. Bush should have raised taxes to pay for the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. And yes, Bush should have cut wasteful spending by reforming government programs to make them work more efficiently and effectively without resorting to eliminating or privatizing them; those options would not work with Social Security and other hugely popular programs.

You want to send the economy into a panic? Start slashing government spending. People will lose jobs, people will lose income, the stock market will collapse and the private sector will not jump in to create jobs until they see stability again. By that time, we will be in another depression and there will not be much of the private sector left.

It's the stupid "starve the beast" tactic. Having a huge amount of debt is in the Republican's best interest, because they believe its the only way they will have a chance at getting rid of hugely popular socialist programs like Social Security, Medicare, etc. They will follow their ideology at all costs, even if it means putting the country's economy at risk.

Right now people are more concerned about jobs than the deficit.]]>Jul 7th 2010 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/Jul 6th 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/Jul 6th 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/white-house-pledges-another-800-million-for-broadband-stimulus/
