The fact that typed-in smileys are turned into icons are majik to me, sorry, but I can’t help you with Html type stuff.

That is a good position. They should at least get first bids and perhaps a discount.

You are still #1 in my blawg book. Also, I am a durn atheist so Mu was moo(t) to me.

On top of that, several million dollars will be needed to fund California’s newly created Department of Selling State Properties.

And with the states’ policy of allowing pretty much anything to be voted on, look for an initiative on the next ballot prohibiting the sale of San Quentin. Marin County will oppose, all other counties will support it.

And does anyone know how to link one’s own blog to their name? I thought I’d start one of my own

AY is going to send us the $45,000 cash. We’ll send him the $80 million check and we can split the $45,000, okay?

I know it’s not much, but who wouldn’t want an extra $22,500 for fun money?

That statement supposes the government acquired the land through illegal means. If they bought it from private individuals, or simply claimed their ownership of it before some other person did wouldn’t the Gov’t be the rightful owner?

Between you and me, I say let’s just keep the check and screw him

Sally! Never ever trust a guy who caint spell My and then says that you can trust him.

Count me in!! I’ll give you my hard earned cash to use as a downpayment!!!

Bron,
Right you are. Could you imagine the development that private industry could do with the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone,
Glacier National Park, The Washington Mall (Lincoln Memorial and Washington monuments are separate deals) and even Central Park in Manhattan? Why it would be thrilling and people could make a bundle. Selling the entire National Park system alone would wipe out the National Debt and I’m sure there are plenty of foreign buyers who would also be interested. Our motto should be “First the Parks, then the Parkways…..and finally the whole Damn Thing!.” Foreign Investors could do wonders with our country and the only down side is we’d have to learn the metric system, which you being an engineer would know anyway.

Your witticism only is exceeded by your sarcasm. I love it. How do I say, “here I sit trying to” . . .think!!!!

the land and structures that rightfully belong to individuals will be returned to indiviiduals. I see this as a very good thing indeed. The government controls too much land and too many resources and it should be put into production and generating revenues.

Looks like the looters are on their last legs and dont know what to do.

I am standing in a puddle and it is yellow, so it must work well.

ALL banks can loan money they don’t have in our fractional reserve lending system. It is the Federal Reserve that will be used to buy trillions in US Treasuries – which are the instrument of borrowing by the federal government – until the US dollar itself collapses as worthless.

This approach still has a way to go, however.

I expect to see states sell off toll collection rights on today’s free highways, to offer casino rights for cash, and perhaps even decades worth of lottery rights all for money paid today. Why not sell the ability to collect years worth of back taxes for 50 cents on the dollar? All of these will be tried.

Ultimately I expect the federal government will be used to bail out states, perhaps under the guise of stimulus and government stability. This money will not be borrowed from our bankrupted population or from China, but will simply be loaned to us by the Federal Reserve, the only entity that can loan money it doesn’t have. This monetization cycle of what will become trillions in debt started in March 2009 and was openly announced by the Fed itself.
