Default I guess everything always seems to get distilled...

down to what George Bush did or did not do....which in my opinion is getting old and very thin.
How about a real time example of everybody being aware of the problem for the last 40 years ans STILL TODAY nothing being done.....foreign oil dependence.
As has been warned many times before...when this one blows up in our face...the Washington crowd will have no way to help. Here is the hypothesis: Ama-deen-a-nut-job (the Iranian maniac) nukes the terminals and the Straights of Hormuz. The mis east oil supply system is NOT JUST DOWN, it is destroyed and fall out contaminated. When oil goes up in price we felt it at the pump the next day. So under this scenario (or any other one you desire that interrupts the oil flow) what will happen at the pump tomorrow? The only supplies of oil are those on the way to the US today. Now, using reason, extrapolate the consequences of low supplies of gasoline/diesel to no supplies of either. Then the consequences of the way of life you used to enjoy.
The financial crisis is a piece of cake by comparison to the impact.....WHICH WILL HIT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US....unlike the current financial crisis.
As the astute politicians argued this past summer anything that will have a real affect on foreign oil dependence is 10 years away....so what have we embarked upon.....words and BS about going green...yeah I feel better already. This one has been in the works for over 40 years (sorry Bush Bashers you can't lay it at his door step). What is being done? NOTHING!
What are we doing about it? NOTHING!
WHy this rant? The video warned of the coming financial problem...nothing was done by ALL parties involved. Hence a financial crisis that money is being thrown at faster than they can print. I choose foreign oil as the subject because when it happens, throwing money at it won't do a thing.
We all know about it. The government knows about it. And we go merrily on our way.
Far fetched? Not one bit. It is only a matter of time before the oil supply will be interrupted and the disaster snow ball begins to form.
This is one we the people know about. We the people can imagine how negatively and unpleasant our lives will be affected....the warnings have been there or over 40 years!!!! Real impact on the effect not realizeable for at least 10 years from now....if something was underway...which there is not.
So why is this not a priority? And please save the Bush bash
