Ok! How many out there can afford a $100,000+ sports car "all electric?" Well the company sold 1,000 cars with a backlog of over 700 vehicles. The US Department of Energy may loan Tesla motors $450-million dollars to build a factory for a $57,000+ vehicle. In my opinion, I believe an all electric vehicle should be priced for the "Joe bag "o" donuts crowd" me included, an all electric vehicle for under $20,000 retail.
In my opinion the Department of Energy should invest in All Electric Vehicle companies (AEV's), who promise by 2011-2012 to deliver a 21st century people's car, like Germany's Volkswagen created the famous Beetle. I believe the D of E, should loan money to the firms who will bring an American made 100% homegrown vehicle to the people.
Tesla motors market is targeted to the Rich, Famous and Elite, notice how they are seeking government loans for the upscale marketplace.
I suggest readers of my blog check out a pioneer in electric vehicles called ZAP.
www.Zapworld.com They have created electric vehicles in the "peoples price range."
I would like to purchase one, but the economy has hit my micro-small business too, and I cannot afford a new vehicle right now, unless President Obama, wants to borrow money from the TARP and buy me one for $12,000 to $15,000.00 What da you say, President "O?"
That's all for now folks, have a great day and remember. Keep your chins up, don't use Capital One credit cards or any credit cards, put them in a safe place for emergencies only.
Be Wise, Do as I do USE CASH ONLY or PAYPAL. Only purchase what you need.
Check out my website: www.lumberkings.biz for super prices on custom apparel for your business, your organization, etc. We only accept PAYPAL, Personal and business checks, and if you are local, CASH is fine too.
Go Phillies!

Philadelphia Mayor Mike O'Nutter Drops Bomb on tax-payers
Hizzoner Mayor Michael Nutter wants a temporary 33% hike in thePhiladelphia property taxes so he can keep all of the Patronage employees, employed! HE is using the excuse that if he didn't raise the taxes "temporarily" he would have to lay off 500+ police and a few inthe fire department.
Now it doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to look at each department and say "Why don't we begin reducing the hours of all non-essential municipal staff to 24 hours a week, and lay-off all non-municipal employees(Democrat & Republican Committee-People) from their jobs or cut them back to a two day work week, but have proof they actually do work.
City Council seems laid-back and quiet about all of this and you know why. They all want to be reelected again and again and again.
For those who vote in Philadelphia, this should be a "wake up call." for a new mayor and an all new face of city council. It's too bad Philadelphia is a one-party political machine. Real Republicans are powerless and are really only a handful of dedicated individuals, you can count them on your hands and feet. Republican party leadership is tied into the Democrat Bosses, in order to secure court patronage jobs and patronage jobs at the election bureau, so the Republicans run sham candidates year after year.
It's called survival of the few for Municipal contracts for those who have all the greenbacks.
The Republicans are extinct according to many citizens and many voters stay home because they know a vote for a Republican candidate is a wasted vote.
Will Sam Katz come back for another try? I doubt it. For a Republican to run for any position in Philadelphia, its all pain, and no gain. The only way to break through is to be a Democrat and run in the primary, have at the least 10-million dollars of your own money and you are still not guaranteed a victory, even if you are a Union Leader in a Union Town, you cannot snatch victory from the jaws of Boss Big Gentle Bear "BOB BRADY."
As the city continues its slide down the hill to Camdenization (Camden,NJ), We can only blame the elected members of City Council, some of the NO to Everything Neighborhood groups who have delayed the casinos and of course Mr.Mayor "NO" himself, Nutter for lost jobs and lost revenue the casinos would have brought to the city of "famous Crook Vincent Fumo."
As the city rolls onto deeper debt, and the taxpayer gets stabbed in the back again. I say to the taxpayer and voter, Get the lead out of those who don't vote, find a candidate and a slate of City Council candidates and run an opposition slate, but start now, not later.
Go Phillies!

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARDS!!!
Hello Again:
How are things going. Do you best not to use your credit cards. (1) You save money, (2) You deny the banks dollars on high(loan-shark) interest rates (3) Cash is Golden. I stopped using my credit cards, I am using PAYPAL for online orders. Don't rent money anymore.
By not using your credit cards, the Bank Issuers will have to eventually give in and lower the interest rates and offer deals. I cut up my Capital One Card, sent it to the "recycle bin!"

PHILADELPHIA WHERE IS THE LEADERSHIP AT CITY HALL
Good Afternoon:
Where is the "Leadership in City Hall?" Philadelphia faces huge budget deficits and the Mayor, Hizzoner Michael Nutter hasn't responded with any real action. He wants to charge residents $5.00 a week for Trash pick-up as a fee ($260.00) a year in addition to the current high taxes on residents and businesses.
Is that all this guy can come up with, An experienced Council-person for many years and he can't figure out how to balance the city budget. HE AIN' T NO ACTION JACKSON.
I believe the Mayor fears layoffs of all of those Patronage employees, just like Governor Corzine of NJ. They both are scared to death about using their executive powers to cut municipal and state employee hours down to 24 hours a week, having them work on a mixed schedule so services aren't severely interuppted. Let me be clear, I am speaking about furloughs for non-essenial, non-emergency, and no plloice,fire or EMT/EMS being reduced.
Philadelphia has been losing money since the Mayor botched the Casino deals. I believe Mayor Nutter is afraid to make a move, he is more worried about re-election(himself) than he is abot his city.
Wow! and to think, we had problems with John Street.
Now I may not live in the city of Philadelphia anymore. But I am in the city everyday.

I TOLD ALL OF YOU ABOUT TRUMP STOCK
I have been stating since 2007, that Trump Entertainment could not survive and many continued to purchase common stock in Trump and hold onto their investments. The Stock was delisted from Nasdaq this past Friday and will now move to either the OTCBB or the pink sheets.
I have been preaching for the management to eliminate gaming at the Plaza and convert it to rooms and possibly condo's, placing their limited funds into debt reduction and the Taj Mahal in order to survive, again no one listened.
I now rest my case, soon the TRUMP name will be removed from the three building with the Marina hopefully going to Jimmy Buffet, he should lower his offer too $150-million, and Trump management should take it and use the money at the Taj Mahal and I still stand by with closing Trump Plaza to save Financial resources.
All the gaming properties should consider going back to a "LESS IS MORE" marketing mentality.
For example: Lower the table minimums on Roulette to $2.00, even a dollar minimum, lower the craps and blackjack table minimums, in order to bring players into the properties, and it will help the restaurants and lower the room rates to $25.00 a night, even during the summer months. BET LOW, WIN HIGH.
Atlantic City is battling the PA SLOTS and NY slots market. They need to respond with slots giving back a bigger win to the slot player and return to the days when "COMPS" were king for the little guy who spent only $100.00 at a slot machine,Roulette table, etc. I remember when you couldn't get near a $2.00 roulette table and a $3.00 black jack table at the Playboy,when it existed. I never missed a Tuesday night at the Roulette table at the Sands.
Atlantic City, while working hard to go upscale seeking out the "WHALES" has lost their regulars by eliminating many of the perks for the small dollar customers. The 11 casino's need to look at the marketing efforts of the past and bring those gamblers back.
Many who visit the PA slot "parlors" find the slots convenient, save gas, no uncomfortable ride on the bus ride to AC. Now it s time for the management at all properties to step up the service to the gamblers they lost with "NEW PERKS."
Any Casino property owner who would like to consult with me on bringing gamblers back to thier properties can reach me at: frontier22@aol.com.
So for now, thats the way ti is, Monday February 23,2009.

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD
DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD IF YOUR CC INTEREST RATE IS ABOVE 10%.
Now is the time to fight for your right as a Credit Card Holder. When you read the stipulations to owning a CC, they are in total control, from variable rates, to excessive fees and it can be punishing when you miss a payment or the high interest puts you above you limit, then you are charged an "overlimit fee!"
LET'S ALL USE CASH, CHECK, MONEY ORDER AND PAYPAL TO purchase our goods, lets tell the BANKS' we want a rate at 10% or lower. IF we don't get the rate, we will not use their Credit Cards.
If millions of citizens stash their cards away and don't use them, the Banks and CC companies will be like any other business, when demand falls off, they will do a couple of things, Cancel your card for "NON-USE", it happend to me with SEARS, I don't shop at any SEARS stores anymore or they will lower your rate.
IF Millions of cardholders stop using your branded card and used Cash, Each of you will save hundreds of dollars each year, you will actually gain from your purchases.
I have a Capital One card that I refuse to use, because the interest rate is above 20%, It's sits in a box, waiting for daylight,(it won't happen) no matter how commercials they run.
Pass the word, DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD.
EMAIL EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
Go Phillies !
Congrats Steelers
