1) Obama should go on Fox News?? Are you nuts? How does going on Fox News give ANYONE legitmacy??
2) Blowing up nuclear facilities to prove a point sounds like a GREAT idea, screw diplomacy
3) How do you start off a paragraph advising how to save the environment and then in the next sentence advocate taxing Japanese and Korean cars? Japanese cars are generally engineered to be more environmentally conscious. Not to mention, foreign car companies at this point are no longer truly foreign-they employ significant amounts of people in the US, and many of the cars are made in US factories, taxing the finished product wouldn't really do anything because a lot of them are domestically manufactured.
4) Temporarily decriminalizing marijuana? First of all, you need to LEGALIZE it not decriminalize it in order to tax it, and a temporary legalization is completely irrational-you can't just foster an entire industry and then try to shut it down once it's profitable.
5) And "pet projects" were an integral part of FDR's new deal in creating new jobs and keeping money flowing. Also, if you're concerned about the environment bullet trains are not only better for the environment but increase public transport utility.
Really wierd article
