发帖数: 29846 | 1 Failure: ‘Cash For Clunkers’ Cost America $6 Billion in Wasted Money
Warner Todd Huston August 23, 2014
Obama’s “Cash for Clunkers” program was his idea to save American auto
buyers money and help “green” the roads at the same time. But the program
was a monumental failure. It was so bad it has now been determined that it
didn’t save anyone anything. In fact, it cost America 6 billion in wasted

发帖数: 4298 | 2 Jared Halbrook, 25, of Green Bay, Wis., said that if Mr. Trump lost to
Hillary Clinton, which he worried would happen through a stolen election, it
could lead to “another Revolutionary War.”
“People are going to march on the capitols,” said Mr. Halbrook, who works

“If push comes to shove,” he added, and Mrs. Clinton “has to go by any
means necessary, it will be done.”

By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports
NEW YORK – Somehow, the most improbable story in NBA history found
himself
in the most improbable place on Friday night: The ball in his hands,
Madison
Square Garden on its feet, and the fourth quarter genius of Los Angeles
Lakers star Kobe Bryant determined to obliterate this burgeoning
mythology.
Out of Bryant, had come a barrage: twisted, contorted fades, a self-pass
off
the backboard, the A-list arsenal out of ... 阅读全帖 |
