This is too complicated for the likes of the folks in Congress, or for that matter anyone else and thus too many cooks are allowing the decline in property values to continue to plunge and to become runaway housing deflation, with no effective solutions on the horizon. This is very bad for two reasons.

If you have not heard of the Springfield Card, it is a code for Obama’s experience.

If we looked forward, and not with a myopic approach toward one type of energy, to develop every bit of energy we could, we could have a sound thriving economy, export energy to a world with a 146% energy hunger, and provide drinking water and irrigation to feed the world. This seems like a noble venture we could all get behind.

If the Democrats and the Republicans representing you in Congress do not want to build a comprehensive national security saving, economy saving, and environment saving energy plan covering the energy transition of this nation through 2030, then you are represented by the wrong person. Think about that in November.

Our energy circumstances are calling for drilling both onshore and offshore and a need for ocean going drilling ships. This is a grand opportunity to rebuild the U.S. Shipbuilding industry and create good paying career oriented jobs in the process. These circumstances have placed this opportunity right on our doorstep.
Pump gouging ceases! Democrats / Obama need new target!

Well, the laugh is on the Democrats and Mr. Obama and those who said that big oil was gouging us at the pump. Reuters has reported today, published in Yahoo News, that Exxon is closing all their U.S. retail outlets, because the the profit is not there – the margins are too tight – while profitable the investment could be better placed elsewhere. If they were gouging this would not be the case. The report goes on to say that other oil company’s retail outlets may follow suit.

Why is Cuba able to explore for drilling into the continental shelf off the coast of Florida for oil and our domestic companies are not permitted?
Why Is Congress The Way It Is?

Today’s Congress does not run as was intended by the founding fathers. Why should your Representatives be listening to and acting upon requests from constituents of other Districts and States and not you? Why would a Senator or Representative take actions contrary to the well being of their constituent and nation? It is all about money! Money for reelection to perpetuate this non-representation of constituents. Money to be able to leave Congress very wealthy.
Points to know before voting in November!

Why isn’t our energy related economic survival being debated and protected in Congress and urged by the White House as a priority over a yet to be proved man made global warming? We should note that this planet’s atmosphere was once nearly all Carbon Dioxide and not Oxygen. Man did not exist at that time. In fact the rich CO2 atmosphere actually kick started growth of vegetation on this planet.
Earmarks!

We have all heard that power corrupts and absolute power power corrupts absolutely. It applies to Congress. Fox News recently did a story on how earmarks were used by Congressmen: one Democrat and two Republicans – one being a Speaker of the House. Fox News Earmark Documentary These earmarks were used for personnel purposes and established in such a circuitous way that earmark watchdogs of Congress did not catch it.
