POPSWeb pioneer Gross revitalized by green energy Bill Gross is the Ron Popeil of Internet entrepreneurs...or perhaps the failed car man and innovator Preston Tucker ;) I am excited to see what he will do with his alt energy incubator. Maybe he will once again innovate enough to help shape the green economy. But, with regard to his claim of becoming more disciplined than he was in the 90's...I'll take the under. Good luck Bill, i'm pulling for you!

POPSCommercial Bankruptcies Rise Sharply Most of the bankrupt & closed businesses are among the 23 million small businesses. That demonstrates how the Bush economic plan was geared only to the very elite & wealthy sliver of the corporate economy . That accords with other statistics indicating it has only been the ultra wealthy that have have done well during the Bush economy.

POPSDemocrats And Gasoline that they must have some gall to criticize creationism when they in fact subscribe to its economic equivalent. But as I wrote last week, I don't really think they are this ignorant. They're providing a rhetorical distraction to the fact that they want high gas prices, probably higher ones than we have right now. Meanwhile, in order to deflect and even harness consumer anger in the political arena, they can send out Chuck Schumer to put on this dog-and-pony show about the phantoms that are secretly directing the economy from behind closed doors. It's a smokescreen. As an energy consumer, you should be a lot more concerned about what Democrats are doing in the open Senate chamber. The gas crisis finally hit Capitol Hill with full fury this week, and Senate Democrats have launched a plan that sounds ambitious: Take on Wall Street speculators, OPEC, price gougers and Big Oil. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9967.html

POPSObama proposes bankruptcy changes Plus, he added, the mortgage and credit crisis facing the country has seen that "pain trickles up," hurting companies and individuals to reaped the rewards of a questionable decade of banking. "Our economy has gotten out of balance," he said. "The American people don't resent wealth, they want to be rich. America has historically rewarded innovation and accomplishment and free enterprise, and I want to ensure we continue to do that."

POPSOil price puts solar in spotlight It is amazing that the enormous power plant in the sky, the sun, has remained mostly untapped despite serious concerns about our energy security, health, and economy. Today, only a fraction of a percent of the world's electricity generation comes from solar energy. The good news is that the promise of solar energy, particularly solar thermal, is extraordinary as it can be used to generate electricity in large quantities.

POPSYou Owe $455,000 * “People seem to think the government has money,” said former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker. “The government doesn’t have any money“ * The United States Department of the Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget published a report stating that the U.S. cannot grow our way out of the government’s liabilities, that the liabilities are quickly growing, and that failing to take drastic and immediate action would lead to very bad consequences (the report was written in 2006) * The International Monetary Fund - which oversees third-world economies - are so concerned about the solvency of the U.S. economy that they are conducting a complete audit of the whole US financial system If you owed $455,000, you might very well have to file for bankruptcy, unless you had some rich uncle who could bail you out. But if your uncle had bailed you out numerous times in the past and if you had consistently broke your promises to re-pay him - he’d probably cut you off

POPSChertoff: Terrorists Are Coming This Election Season! EU Terrorists, he says he knows they are trying....but yet they never catch any trying? Right! Propaganda, stay tuned for false flag events this election season, or maybe just more fear mongering to drive the agenda. Key word: "dirty bomb", after 7 years of zero attacks and mere rhetoric. Isn't it obvious that terrorists would lay low to prevent war policy being driven again? Now who would have such a motive, really? (Whats preventing the true perps from doing it is that it cripples the economy too much, as 9/11 did).

POPSAlan Greenspan vs Noami Klein When Greenspan is trying to back paddle from his positions, and Naomi K. is questioning his decisions that led to this and other problems America and the world economy is facing, I almost feel sorry for the man.

POPSCulpable Ignorance It takes less arrogance to say that we have a variety of important issues – from the future collapse of social security, to global warming, to a struggling economy, to poor education, and to simply add, "I don’t know which one is the most important, which is why I want somebody with sufficient breadth of knowledge to deal with all of them."
