It was not 'communism' that required automakers to reduce pollution, just wise regulation. That's what government is for. Some things get done collectively, such as national defense. Difficult to see the difference between defending people from enemies and defending them from illness, for example.
Government is for pointing guns at people and making them do what the mob wants. There is nothing that government does that people can't do on their own without government. That is, if it's something they want. Government is the only way to make people accept what they don't want.It was not 'communism' that required automakers to reduce pollution, just wise regulation.

Substantive difference being WHAT exactly?
I got to keep more of my money so I could spend it into economy - what is the tax-cut-magic killing difference?

I don't have to buy a stupid solar installation, I can buy useful things instead.
How the fuck is producing 100% of electricity I use from solar energy, not usefull? Stupid much?
And how come this is the very first time you got all concerned about WHAT tax-cut is spent on? Smells like straw grasping.
Two reasons idiot:
1. It is not cheaper than fossil fuel. Not when you look at all the cost, direct and indirect. If you think it is then you are confused Moon Bat.
2. You are getting welfare payments in the form of subsidies that somebody else has to pay for.
You Moon Bats are not too bight, are you?
Asshole you still didn’t answer how come you never before cared what people spend their Republican tax-cuts. Do hookers and blow self-finance better than solar power?
If it's that great a financial deal, then why does government need to use guns to force it's citizens to buy them?
Your belief that government is good at planning and solving social problems couldn't be more absurd. Government causes all the social issues that are humanly solvable. Social Security is how government prevents people from making long term plans by robbing them when they are young and turing the proceeds over to those who didn't plan for their retirement. There couldn't be a worse example of government "planning" than Social Security and Medicare.Substantive difference being WHAT exactly?

1. Lets note that you are switching gears instead of directly responding to what you quoted.
2. Because it involves long term planning and greater social issues that people are usually bad at. It's the same reason why we "need to use guns to force" people to participate in (very popular) SS and Medicare programs.

And the overarching point there is that it's forced. I can't opt out of Social Security. Why? Because the concept is dead on arrival unless people who don't want to be in it are forced to be (and it still doesn't work anyway when they are forced into it).Your belief that government is good at planning and solving social problems couldn't be more absurd.

Any system built on forcing unwilling participants to participate is doomed to failure.
You're asking government to not be greedy with money? I'll refer you back to my "doomed to failure" comment. Government has no incentive to be responsible stewards of our money, hence the failure. I'd much rather give my money to someone who's livelihood depends on his/her smart decisions in investing my money for me. They have incentive to take care of my money, the government has no incentive to.agree, but SS is working and could continue working if the greedy assholes in congress would stop stealing the money that they forced us to put into the SS program for our entire working lives.

What's your definition of "working" in this instance?SS and Medicare are working and popular.
Sorry that reality is not to your liking, but you are just going to have find some sane way to deal with it.

...at least until it's insolvent, which is in the next 15 years or so. What happens when there is no more social security as a result? That's my only point.Accomplishing what they were put in place for.
SS to ensure elderly and disabled have some minimal income and Medicare to ensure they can get healthcare.

Actually being forced to buy power from the state utility that has a monopoly on the power is communism but thanks for playingNo more free choice. They decide, you kneel.
Fortune: California to Require Solar Panels for All New Homes
Fair enough. Doesn't change the fact that it's a wealth re-distribution program that's run inefficiently and is the one of the main drivers of our national debt.As you know, the Social Security System is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Over the next five years, the Social Security trust fund could encounter deficits of up to $111 billion, and in the decades ahead its unfunded obligations could run well into the trillions.
That was Reagan, 35+ years ago.

NOPE, that's false.
SS is operationally VERY efficient with overhead at just 0.7% compared to about 8-10% if you look at any private insurance system.
SS trust fund balance is positive, which means public has paid more into the system than was paid out of it. And the reason why if nothing is done it will turn negative has nothing to do with inefficiency it has to do with there being more retired people that need to be covered.
