The GOP wants the United States to use more nuclear energy. Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander stated recently, “ So you’d think that if Democrats want to talk about energy and climate change and clean air, they’d put American-made nuclear power front and center. … We say find more American...

3. The Bank Bailout It's not surprising that Wall Street loved the plan revealed today. As I understand it, hedge funds and big brokers (the folks who got us into this bubble by taking absurd bets on an ever-expanding mortgage market) are being "asked" to buy back those "toxic assets"...
