I can't be the first person to call the think tank(s) involved "The Oak Ridge Boys." We should throw money at that, and leave it alone. Let them work.
Starbucks is expensive because one cup will keep you awake for the rest of your life.
When I talk to most young people about frugality and minding their credit habits, I know I'm asking them to lock the barn door after the fact. I watched a young couple with very young children refinance themselves (ARM, naturally) right of out their home, and there was nothing I could do. They were more defiant than their children.
So why aren't the two of you running for president? This is some of the clearest and most honest analysis of what's going on that I've seen this election year. Thanks.
Thank, Ken I edited out most of what I was saying. Ron has this thing nailed down, and every time we get together it becomes a long, but interesting conversation. He successfully predicted the current downturn in the housing market a long time ago.
Nice to see your friend Ron again, and I hope he'll have good luck for receiving his teaching certificate. Actually Japan just became the leading trading partner with China over the US, unfortunately. I agree with Ron that we need something revolutionary when it comes to energy investments, but I don't think it's a good idea to phrase it as "Manhattan Project" (due to the negative associations with the nuclear bomb). I view Ron's energy proposal as a "New Deal of the 21st Century".
I also think that energy should be diversified and regional, depending on the local resources. For example, both populated areas of the East and West coasts should depend more on electric vehicles, while middle America should rely on wind energy and cellulose-based ethanol. I'm just throwing out my ideas, but my point is if we have diversified energy, then the cost of it will be more stable due to more competition, and we'll rely less on a single energy source, ie. Saudi Arabia. Good day Sir!
Hey Ron, Kevin here (from L.A./IrwinMarinaDelRey)
I am enjoying your videos. I'm ready to move to Tennessee.

I am in my late 30s and have been living and renting and saving all my life.
With the bailouts I feel like a chump for not buying a mansion.

3 cups of coffee a day at Starbucks in LA? Is that why he had to sell the house? :)
I can only handle maybe one cup a day, usually homemade, usually tastes terrible.
