Faster than Air Berlin

Seeing a lot of Texas license plates here in CA, not as many as before the 2008 crash, however.

The problem is not just airports but the absence of a total transportation strategy. There should be no airline service between LGA and BOS and DCA. This is a job for true High speed rail. Also, LGA needs to be connected to JFK's Air TRain. Trips between NYC and BOS/DCA should be under 2 hours via HSR..this would freeup many slots for airline traffic. Costly? Of course it is. Third World countries don't have the money, but we do. The by-product of the engineering and technology investment is a new, exportable knowledge base that will pay for itself overtime.

The best place on the planet to watch planes landing is at the In and Out Burger at 96th St. and Sepulveda Blvd. at LAX. You can sit outside munching on fries at the end of Runway 24R. Imagine an A380 right in your face. Best place for take offs is the small park of off Imperial Highway in El Segundo on the south side of LAX.

You can believe in the "free market" all you want but there is no free market and you just outlined all the reasons why there is not. Only in the US do we have a such a large number of persons who do not know how international business really works. All other countries have mechanisms to ensure domestic competitiveness: VAT of 7 to 20% on all imports along with single-payer, not corporate based, health insurance. VAT is exempt on exports turning countries that have them into one big trade zone, everyone learns to export. Why? Because when we run a trade deficit, as JFK well understood, we might as well stand on the beaches of America and throw dollars out to sea. We need to earn foreign currency through exports through meeting international demand. We could do this, bear the momentary pain of increased taxes on domestic spending on consumer goods but benefit by having imports including those products of American corps. made in China, Vietnam, etc., we would have a chance of inc

Made by Vietnamese but created and designed in America. The American corporate BS is that you would pay more if they were made here. Not necessarily true. They are just increasing their profit margin by having them made in Vietnam. Prices are set in the marketplace not always at the factory floor. Vietnam is starting to take the place of China as the manufacturer of choice among American corporations.

Gulf of Tonkin and its resolution was staged by Johnson not Kennedy. JFK issued an order in November '63 to begin withdrawal of troops by the end of 1964. Also, JFK is speaking very strongly here and he knows that America must maintain international competitiveness if for no other reason than maintaining "balance of payments." Of course he had to be removed from office in order for the predatory capitalists to begin dismantling the American economy and have us all become debtors to pay them interest in the new economy created by the "neo-Liberals" Carter, Reagan, Deng, Thatcher, Clinton, Bushes, Obama. JFK was a leader and perhaps the last truly American president.
