I can never stand listening to him so I didn't watch the speech. I assume the same mis-information he always says. But if some could provide details that would be great. Thank you.

1. Introduction
On January 9, the Maharashtra state government in India averted an immediate crisis by coughing up US$24 million for the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) to pay some of the money it owed the Enron-controlled Dabhol Power Corporation (DPC) for the purchase of electricity.

The release of the money to the cash-strapped MSEB, the state's electricity utility, has temporarily defused what was threatening to blow up into a major dispute between the DPC and the state authorities. The DPC, which is majority-owned by a subsidiary of the American energy giant Enron Corp, operates a 740 megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power plant, and serves as its fuel manager. The MSEB had not paid the DPC since October 2000. It still owes $48 million in arrears for November and $34 million for December.

However, the crisis is not yet over as the state government has formed a high-powered committee to review the power purchase agreement (PPA) of Phase II of the project, which is already under construction. It is expected to reach a decision in a few weeks.

3. It's a good thing you did not listen

He wants to save social security now by "adjusting" it so that the
low income wage earners would still get it but the Middle class and the Higher income wage earners would see benefit cuts. Hell no, I am middle class and I have been s**** my entire life, now I am going to see my benefits cut to help the man down the street, I paid for my retirement, I don't want to hear NO Bell and see NO red kettle to drop my benefits into, my social security is NOT for charity, also his judges should be approved by a straight up and down vote, Wah, Wah, and that the Dems are NOT cooperating with his social security plan, Wah, Wah.
