Watching the Roosevelt series brought insight that I had not had before about war and the national economy..
I don't have the stomach for war, but they did, and we are still here. What would have happened if Hitler would have continued unopposed?
I think that this country will fail because of a lack of gumption and because we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, or pay the bills.
There is nothing wrong with paying the bills.
Wars are lost and won and fought because of things like oil. That is reality.
And staying in the black eonomically is something we must do to survive as a country.
Of course oil and energy is important. Let the pipeline come through and level the playing field.
