I agree that there are no firms that are too big to fail.
He doesn't know shit about clean coal though. There is such thing as clean coal. It is ran by unions so I don't know why the libs are against it.
How does a public option create competition? No politics I really would like to know. has this happened before to base this idea from.

HAHAHAHAHA Pop is not for public option. He cheated to get Tim Duncan. That is a fact. The draft was set up to try to make the league equal but good old crater face got off to a bad start and sat his best players. :lol "pop is for public option" that is fucking funny!

Ralph Sampson. Hakeem Olajuwon. Yao Ming. Every single one was a Houston tank job. Robinson injuring his back in the Olympics and then breaking his foot and the team going 21-61 without him is an indictment of his supporting cast and not an allegedly cheating coach. :lol

But your stupidity is so consistent with Rocket fans and people from Houston. The fact that you think a broken foot isn't something that would cause someone to sit out games fits in so well.

Really. A broken foot made a team go from winning 60 games to 20 games. Even a team that lost Jordan for a whole fucking season still made it to Eastern Championship. Give me a fucking break. I have and the NATION has written about this for years. Fact is Pop cheated and you fucking know it. Move on son, move on

So Sean Elliott, Charles Smith, Avery Johnson, and Vinny Del Negro should have won 60 games? Hey retard, that Bulls team had a certain first-ballot hall of famer named Scottie Pippen in his prime didn't make the ECF. I know you can't count, but trust me that round 2 is not the ECF.

Actually, it's generally accepted knowledge at this point that the players threw Hill in front of the bus. Pop had to pull the trigger, because it's in his job description, but Hill was a dead duck once he lost the team.

The Most Recent Example of Dumping Games

In 1996, seven teams were vying for the #1 pick in the upcoming draft. The prize: Tim Duncan, a franchise-changing big man with a boring, yet undeniably effective game. By losing excessively down the stretch those 7 teams went a combined 13-57 in the last ten games of the season. The Spurs conveniently lost their last 6 (the only team to do so) and secured the 3rd worst record in the league at 20-62 or more accurately stated: 3rd best in the Tim Duncan sweepstakes. The record itself may not be enough to assume tanking but consider the following:

Questions were raised about whether David Robinson’s foot fracture had healed to the point where he could and should be playing.
Similar to the Houston debacle this team was suspiciously led by another well-past-his-prime superstar in Dominique Wilkins (age 37). At the same time other healthy, younger players were being sidelined and rested for no apparent reason. Here’s Barkley’s first hand account after a game vs. the Spurs in 1997:

That was significant in that the Nuggets, Sixers and Mavericks finished just 1, 2 & 4 games better than the Spurs, so winning even one of those last 6 games could have been the difference between getting #2 pick Keith Van Horn rather than Duncan. That was one of the biggest turnarounds considering the Spurs were 59-23 the previous season.

Two years later (a much faster turnaround than Houston) had San Antonio winning the 1st of 4 championships in 9 years – led by Duncan. With this much success from allegedly losing games on purpose, can we really believe it won’t happen again in the near future?

Please follow the link, Jack. The headline might be of interest to you.

Tell it like it is, Coach Pop!!!!

Thats a very simple answer to a very complex question. Popovic has no idea what the details of the public option are. He doesnt know what regulations they'll have to comply to, whether or not it will be "taxed" like a public company would, whether or not its losses will be back by taxpayers etc.
