Bernanke's Statements: Blatant Lies or Wishful Thinking?

Don't any of you pundits realize the problem with our economy is not complex, requiring a nonsensical analysis, such as reading a crystal ball or studying tea leaves? Actually, the problem is quite simple to define: oil!

Until we get our energy dependence cured, the economy will continue to circle the bowl as the whirlpool of incompetence and stupidity drags the nation ever downward. The proposal being pushed by the Republicans in the Congress to drill in The ANWR, in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico (China and Cuba are, already doing it), and off the coast of California is the first thing to come out of the asylum known as Washington that has made any sense or promised a real solution. Add to this a proposal, being pushed by Rep. Chris Cannon of Utah, to accelerate the recovery of the trillion, that’s trillion, barrels of oil locked in the shale deposits of Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado would make us energy independent for several hundred years.

An immediate, but not a cure-all, solution would be to override the stupidity of the California politicians who refuse to allow Alaska oil to be refined in that state. It, therefore, is shipped to Japan! That’s OUR oil these clowns are exporting! And, in case you don’t know, these morons are Democrats.

All that is needed to achieve energy independence, is to kick out the obstructionist Democrats (surprise, surprise!) who control Congress, and elect sensible, knowledgeable, honest, and, hopefully, non-careerist Congress persons, in November. If the electorate awakens from its deep sleep that has allowed the Dems in Congress to muck up and weaken this nation, and gives them the boot, there is hope for our country. If not, all is lost. Believe it.

Saving the Economy with IRA Funds

I could not believe that anyone from the world of finance would be making such a ridiculous proposal as has Stan Muse. Then, I read his bio and learned he has spent his adult life in the world of tech where most are dreamers of Nirvana, peace, and love. He but echoes all the silly proposals of the wacko left that, too often, come from this sector.

If Mr. Muse’s preposterous idea was to be enacted, we would have the same mess we have with the Social Security Trust Fund that the Congress has borrowed into near bankruptcy and is supporting with valueless IOU’s.

Stick to programming, Mr. Muse, and leave the real world problems to people whose feet are planted, firmly, on solid ground and reality.
