<If we embarked on a serious energy independence plan of drilling, wind, solar, NG, alterative fuels etc we would stop sending 70% of our trade deficit overseas and create so many new jobs in this country as well as new tax revenue (without raising taxes) we'd be back ontrack in no time. >
That's right out of one of Jimmy Carters speeches. Republicans rolled back all his alternative energy and mandates... too bad. Boy, did republicans piss on him too... that was pretty sick; blaming him for the energy crisis and related stagflationary economy.
Boy... he must just think back on this portion and say... W
OW, who would of thunk how crazy our country would get:
"In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We’ve learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose."
Yep, "economic growth".... a virtual religion. How dare he try to take away our SUV's!!
You see this a lot today too:
"You see every extreme position defended to the last vote, almost to the last breath by one unyielding group or another. You often see a balanced and a fair approach that demands sacrifice, a little sacrifice from everyone, abandoned like an orphan without support and without friends."
Smart dude.
