We will be waiting for another new direction each election cycle. Oil is a scarce finite resource. The USA uses 25% of daily production and 2/3 of the worlds oil is in the Persian Gulf.

With one miss step in this area, a trebling of oil prices and a global economic meltdown the American public will indeed be looking for another new direction.

The Democrat party, including both Clintons, keeps talking about the "working poor" and the "middle class" being left out (of the goodies).....

Taking a look at the "working poor" that qualify for all sorts of federal aid, and don't pay Federal Income Taxes, I'd say, they are getting plenty of goodies, paid for by the US Taxpayer.

As far as the "middle class" the Left bandies about....Has ANYONE EVER heard ANYone on the Left give their definition of "middle class" income????

Of course, they haven't. The US Government seems to peg being rich as over $70,000 as from that number forward, the "rich are being soaked" and certainly pay the major percentage of the Federal Income Taxes.....

It's political gimmickry....and the Clinton's both know it.
