    I don't think most people realize how well the military actually pays. Then you get these single kids that think they are getting paid so little. E-1 is $1,516 monthly for 2013, and they effectively get to spend most of that. No food, rent,or utilities to pay for.
    That's only $50 a day, sure you get free food and housing but I don't think you fully realize the nightly alcohol expenses when your a single kid and stuck in a hole like Wichita Falls. I don't remember what I got paid back when I was stuck there but my credit cards were maxed when I left.

    LOL...

    Seriously...
    I hope you are joking, because that is pretty sad to send that much time in bars.

    Really?

    Every day though?

    There is this one bar I go to shoot pool every now and then. A few beers, good dinner, and pool, and I probably spend only $30.

    U.S. Installs Record Amount Of Solar So Far In 2012: Analyst Calls It The ‘Opening Act’ For Q4 Boom




    Mitt Romney made a rather odd statement about solar. (Yes, we’re still talking about Romney).

    “When other solar companies saw Solyndra get $530 million from the government, investors pulled back in that industry,” he said. “So instead of encouraging solar development, the Obama administration hurt it.”

    Bishop Gecko!

    What Bishop Gecko said he WOULD HAVE DONE is stop all wind and solar subsidies, tax breaks, incentives. THAT'S HURT.

    I think the point Romney was making is that other companies thought they would get a piece of the pie, so they stopped putting out their own capital. It might also be that the government picking Solyndra, was a sign to others they would never be able to match development costs, and would get no where.

    Time and time again, when the government interferes, it is nothing but bad in the end.

    in this case WC is right. What private investor wants to compete head to head with the US government that obviously has a bottomless checkbook?

    you mean as in Iraq? Viet Nam?

    govt investment over the decades has produced huge returns.

    You assholes pick Solyndra, as part of the Fox/Repug hate and slander machine's talking points, to prove that govt is ALWAYS bad and can NEVER produce anything good.

    I know there is no sun in the photo for WC to triangulate an exact location, but I'm wondering if he can at least tell me what neighborhood CC lives in based on the information provided.

    It's obvious you didn't understand what lead me to being able to find that one residence. I would try to educate you, but I think my hands would cramp up over the keyboard, typing so long.

    Thanks. It was an abandoned hulk when I bought it. The original part was a 100 yr.+ old ranch house when I bought it and I remodeled/added on over the years. Did a lot of the work myself.

    A new report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory points to specific areas where costs could be lowered.

    I paid $3.60 a watt gross.

    After CPS rebate and tax credit cost was a little over $1 net.
