After spill, Trump’s Keystone XL assurances appear ridiculous
Two years ago, during the Republican presidential primaries, Donald Trump
denounced President Obama’s decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. As
the Republican put it at the time, there was no “no downside” to the
project. |

The Obama administration should come out of the gate with a comprehensive
economic program that has two pillars in addition to a fiscal stimulus
package. One would prevent housing prices from overshooting on the downside
by making mortgages cheaper and more available and reducing foreclosures to
a minimum; the other would enable banks to resume lending by adequately
recapitalizing them. It would take several months to implement the program

Ford and G.M. have taken impressive steps over the last five years to
improve the performance and durability of their vehicles. But every
undertaking raises the same question: What took you so long?
Part of the answer, academics and industry analysts say, is that for years
American carmakers made so much money from high-margin behemoths like pickup
trucks and S.U.V.’s that ignoring quality held little financial downside

dealer is much smaller. Downside is that you may need to wait a little
longer.
An extreme example is European Delivery for MB, Bimmer or Audi. In ED, the
price is about 9%MSRP lower than US delivery because:
(1) dealer has no risks of waiting to sell the cars; and
(2) EU is outside of the quota that a dealer may receive from the
manufacture (so it's bonus sale for them). |

so, garage parking is good for your car engine and transmission. But it will
