I will continue to believe that Americans of today can do the same thing their parents and grandparents of WWII days did.... we had just a few thousand in the military when Japan hit Pearl Harbor....at the end of WWII, we had over 16 MILLION under arms. Our factories were working around the clock in shifts for the war effort....supplies, bullets, guns, ships, clothing, etc etc....
The women worked if they were able, plus took care of the kids and the households... Everyone worked on one team, and not the scattered snipping we see today.
WHEN Americans wake up and see that high gas prices are not sustainable, and see that we have not got the infrastructure to travel the vast distances we must to support our jobs and companies we work for, and see that the grocery stores won't and can't have the products we are used to seeing at prices that are someplace close to reasonable.....plus not seeing products made from high priced oil i.e. plastics of every kind, paper goods because of the energy it took to make them...ditto nearly every product in the store, fruits and veggies, meats, cereals, flour, etc etc etc...
THEN maybe we will DEMAND that we do something NOW...even if it is going to take time to accomplish what needs to be done.
The very height of arrogance is to do nothing, and to justify that by saying "....even if we do something now, we won't have lower prices for years to come...."
The REASON we have high prices now, is because that is the tactic the Left has used for years, and now we can see what that has achieved.
High Prices and NOTHING else. |
