I currently live in Northern Cal and will be moving to L.A. against my better judgement, however; that doesn't erase the fact that what has happened in California is the direct result of the removal of property tax.

If it is a scam, it could be one of the biggest monetary scams of all time. Rossi enters a country in political turmoil, civil unrest growing. He presents a miracle machine that could save the world. Anyone and everyone with their backs against the wall, looking for a way out, pay him for his miracl...

ScottL - I am not defending Rossi but defending Ny Tek. The video of Essén and Kullander you mention was done way before their visit and demo in April. The only report by them other than the video past the April date was a text based report. This report re-iterated at best what they said in the vid...

[quote="parallel](You can add Christos Stremmenos to the list too.) How does this support your statement: As of right now the argument would be the rest of the Physics/Engineering world vs. Rossi and his paper mache doctorate, nothing more.

It's all subjective, but at some point even the general public will have to tighten their belt and pay a little more for the freedoms and lifestyles we wish to continue. This will require raises taxes to rates pre-Bush era as well as cutting from some programs. The longer we wait, the harder it will...

Then you get into questions like what defines the middle-class. At what points have you entered and/or exited. I could argue that $100k/year is easy to live off of because I don't make that amount, but those making it could feel they are barely surviving. Once the amount is there, people will find a...

seedload, Curious what happened to the argument that this can't possibly be a scam because Rossi is only using his own money . As you know, because it has been stated several times and confirmed by Defkalion, Rossi does not get paid by Defkalion until after the delivered 1 MW unit is shown to work ...

Diogenes, this is where our views diverge. I believe its the conservative base that has chosen to sit by and watch the middle-class dissolve. Bush's original tax cuts did not stimulate the economy and the middle-class continued to shrink over 8 years. Obama's continuation of the Bush tax cuts did no...

Parallel you silly fool. I provided direct references for Hanno and Sven showing that they are neutral on Rossi's device and said they don't know what is happening if anything.... you just lost 2 physicists.

One thing I've noticed is that health care costs as a percentage of GDP have climbed to 17% going on 19% since the reform package was passed. Compare this rate to what any other western country spends on health care as a percentage of GDP. If the reform package had reduced cost just like in any oth...

Parallel referenced some physicists whom I linked a video of their response. Although the response seems semi-positive for Rossi, they continue to restate that they are working with the information given to them by Rossi. Both state they don't feel its a pure scam, but I think it's easily read that ...

Parallel

Please do watch Sven and Hanno's response inwhich they state the experiment is not repeatable and therefore not scientific in nature due to Rossi's unwillingness to disclose anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt2JqEmaUGc
