Nationalizing Oil: Well-Intentioned, But Wrong

If you remember Bill Clinton beat George Bush the 1st with one expression: "Its the Economy, Stupid!"

Well it not the ECONOMY, "Its ENERGY, Stupid!" and Americans have finally realized their gasoline highs are costing them an arm and a leg, not to mention their jobs, savings, and livlihoods..

The formula is simple: ENERGY=ECONOMY! No Energy...No Economy...No Employment...No Earnings...

As stupid as "W" appears, he understands this and he and his BIG OIL buddies are making hay with a cut, slash, and run exit strategy, that will in all probability lead to a massive, dare I say it... DEPRESSION!!!

Ben Stein Watch: In Defense of Exxon Mobil

Big Oil like Big Healthcare is nothing more than a monopoly. When politicians work hand in hand with corporate lobbyists the eliminate competition it is not capitalism, but fascism. The role of government should be to stimulate the economy by promoting competition and investing our tax dollars in competitive sustainable sources such as solar, wind, wave, thermal and nuclear energy. This is how we got to the moon, and this is how we will solve our current energy and economic problems.
