Re: "Green Jobs"
Cold (or hot) weather in one location (or country) is not indicative of a "Global" temperature change. I agree, our grandchildren will probably be the ones to learn the truth about this issue. I sincerely hope that you are right and either nothing is happening or we can't do anything about what is happening. If however, 95% of all scientists are correct and something is happening AND it's caused by man AND possibly mitigated or reversible by our actions, I want to tell my grandchildren I did...

Re: "Green Jobs"
All good points. Yes, the weather is different today than yesterday. And we can extrapolate that to 100 years ago and 100 years from now. Human activity? Oh, our ego's would drive us to think we make a SIGNIFICANT impact. And science is asleep, replaced with faith labelled as "consensus". But I don't think many people who have seen a forest fire or volcano actually BELIEVE we impact the climate much more than the proverbial butterfly wings.

Re: Gas Price Check
The oil business is very complex. It's much like the stock market. Let's say you own a gas station. You buy a 1000 gallons of gas at $1.00 per gallon. You sell it for $2.00 per gallon. Your make a nice profit BUT, you call to order another 1000 gallons and it's now selling for $2.00 per gallon. There go your profits. You must raise your price to meet the new wholesale price. While your $2.00 gas is in the ground the price drops to $1.00 per gallon. What do you do? Refinery issues, pipline...

Re: Super Bowl Poll!
The Patriots are now on a 14 game winning streak. They will go into the Super Bowl on the longest streak of any team since the '72 Dolphins. And Peyton Manning is putting together what might be the best postseason for a QB in NFL history. As for you folks that are picking an NFC team, you are out of your mind. Everyone knows that the "real Super Bowl" is this week's AFC Championship game. GO PATS!!

Re: "what is the interest rate"
I ask a Banker at one time, and figured it out to about 14%. If you assume one thing, that is the leasing companies want the same interest rate weather it FMV,10% or $1.00 buyout. Using DLL rate, the interest rate is about 13.60%. That's taking a fund rate of $ 5,000 over a 3 year period. The reason most people lease is base on there accounting procedures and how they write things off for taxes. Remember one thing, most people are payment buyers. If there payment is less than what they...

Re: MFP Leasing Companies Crying About Portfolio's
I understand both sides of this argument, but I’m having trouble adopting either side as my definitive stance.

I agree with Old Glory. First on the US debt and deficit spending has to be dealt with, we cannot continue down the path we are on. While we need to pay our current debts we should look at cutting spending. Everything must be cut – social spending, defense, foreign aid, everything.

No one is saying hurricanes and droughts are the exclusive result of global warming only that the increasing frequency and severity of such weather events appear to be related. 2/3rds of Americans somewhat to strongly believe global warming is effecting the weather in the USA. Skeptics are always free to voice their opinion and can believe what they wish. Just like the tobacco industry wants people to believe that smoking does not cause cancer.
