POPSThe Dollar: Like it Or Not Change is Coming Last week we learned that the national debt is likely to grow by more than $9 trillion.

We're paying it now.

POPSChina outdoes U.S. in Making Solar Products many worry that Western companies may have fragile prospects when competing with Chinese companies that have cheap loans, electricity and labor, paying recent college graduates in engineering $7,000 a year. “I don’t see Europe or the United States becoming major producers of solar products — they’ll be consumers,” said Thomas M. Zarrella, the chief executive of GT Solar International, a company in Merrimack, N.H., that sells specialized factory equipment to solar panel makers around the world. China’s commitment to solar energy is unlikely to make a difference soon to global warming. China’s energy consumption is growing faster than any other country’s, though the United States consumes more today. Beijing’s aim is to generate 20,000 megawatts of solar energy by 2020 — or less than half the capacity of coal-fired power plants that are built in China each year.

POPSA Change for the Better: Pravda - Moscow, Russia This article is scathing in it's criticism of the Bush Administration, comparing them to Hitler's Cabinet. Ouch!

POPSSenator Barack Obama's Qualifications for the Office of the President of the United States Let’s also not diminish another strong point of Barack Obama’s qualifications for President; he is a scholar of U. S. Constitutional law. On January 20, 2009 the person we elect will solemnly swear to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. With respect to the two major canidates for President, it could be said that Barack Obama’s resume shows him to be intellectually more qualified to execute that oath.

POPSSaudi King Pardons Rape Victim President Bush said that if the same thing happened to one of his daughters, he would be "angry at those who committed the crime. And I'd be angry at a state that didn't support the victim." I'm not a Bush supporter, but I am pleased to know that in this case he had done what is right. Kudos to Bush and King Abdullah.

POPSU.S. Low-Income Housing on the Chopping Block [Part 1] This began during the 1990s, under the Clinton Administration. I have often wondered why the so-called Black leadership idolizes the Clintons. This demolition of public housing is all a part of Bill Clinton's answer to the problems of poverty in the United States, his so-called welfare reform. Lack of affordable also impacts poor Whites, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans. So what is so special about the Clinton's? What have they really done for poor people in America?
