what about fifty or so nuclear generators ?

Wrong again. The questionable loans that hurt the banking industry were specifcally home mortgage loans. Everybody knows that.

It is a recognized sign of weakness to focus on the person instead of the argument. Veterans of these forums know that slamming someone on the facts is always good enough. Resorting to name-calling and attacking the individual instead of responding with substance is fudamentally weak.

There have been plenty of explainations here on this thread. If you choose to ignore them, that is fine. But it isn't going to fly that they don't exist. That is a circle jerk and the rest of your post is Joe-the-Plumber level "redistribution of wealth" propaganda that is spouted off by people who like to call Obama a socialist and question his citizenship.

its not a bail out for the auto industry! the average mpg improvement per exchange is almost DOUBLE. meaning americans will save at the pump; not just for those that got a nice new efficient vehicle but for everyone because demand drops a bit. the less % of income people spend on gas, the more they can spend elsewhere in the economy. money spend on Ford = american purchase. money spend on gas = foreign purchase. the less money flowing out of north america is a good thing.

Are they actually replacing coal plants? Then I guess so.
The only problem I have with nuclear energy is that there is no profit to be made from building the waste recycling infrastructure or more waste-efficient plants... like the nuke plants in every other developed nation that has them! In fact, these things are economically inefficient.
Because like all of our big businesses know these days, if the nuclear plants do produce a lot of waste and have nowhere to put it... guess who are going to pay for the clean up! Either that or some eminent domain thing will bury it all in some poor area. Barring that, we'll do what the Euros do and dump it in Somali waters.

Unless we get regulation on these plants so that they are up to modern standards andwe recycle the waste, I'm not for public monies going into nuclear power.
Nuclear research, yes. I don't understand why Clinton shut that down.
But if we are going to pay for plants, they better be as waste-free as possible.

thats still better than money going to the middle east.

But it's not better than money being spent here, and far worse than money not being spent in the first place.

not really because its also helping ford, thus creating JOBS. its not the stocks anymore, its creating jobs that we have to deal with now.

*sigh*....

It is *not* "creating" jobs, it's reallocating jobs that would have opened up elsewhere. These jobs are unsustainable without the government keeping them on life support, and will generate less GDP than the jobs that would have otherwise occurred because the government is inherently short-sighted, sloppy, and wasteful.
