Off thread, but curious Blur. Are your studies in political science or economics? Just curious.

Sounds awfully similar to the ones of yesteryear like the oil companies supposedly buying up and killing the 100mpg carburetor...

I'm defintely against this idea both in theory and in practice.
Don't give ExxonMobile anymore influence in my life, please.

Good question, because I don't think we should bail the banks out, however, I don't want to see either of the Big Three (especially GM) to go under so I can't even be biased on this one. I've read and been told we should've been in flying cars by now but I've heard (conspiracy theorists) that big oil had such in influence they didn't want all that fossil fuel to go unused and not make them money. I don't particularly give that theory much credit but it almost makes sense.

All I care about is Detroit making the cars we want and the government NOT telling me what I can drive. I'll be damned if I have to drive a Prius because that is all the government says I can own.

JMVHO.

At KU, there's an economics component that is necessary for graduation in political science. Additionally, I've taken classes regarding the budget and agenda-setting which is a strong hybrid of political and economic theories.

On a side note, my use of "recently" may or may not exclusively reference the current administration.
