Not in favor of any government anywhere getting control of a bucket full of money to solve a problem. Money is GONE, and the problem is left over for the next administration.
And, No, I am not necessarily a fan of Europe's financial/social agenda. But, I truly love their history, their culture, the evolution from Them to Us in the U.S., and their low rate of Heart Disease. Gotta' be a reason??
At What Cost to Americans for an Alternative Fuel Source for vehicles? How about $700 Billion that we, Americans, are about to spend to BailOut a bunch of "Gamblers" in the Banking, Real Estate, Automotive, etc, etc industry because:
THEY GAMBLED AND LOST.
But, we Americans are going to approve it, and the Bad Guys are gonna' win again. We are gonna' pick up the tab for POOR BUSINESS DECISIONS.
I ain't a student of Mr. Bastiat. I am an intern (and still learning) of Grandpa who always said "If you ain't got it , don't spend it" Or "Plan ahead for a Bad Crop". Or, "Don't trust any man with a weak handshake".
Our Business Culture today is Short Term at best. Bad, Bad, very Bad for my children.
Some day (after I am gone from the planet) the oil supply will be compromised by supply problems, terrorists, ecology, prices, etc, etc. Short Term thinking and planning will absolutely kill us as a nation.
The best Brain Power in the world is in the U.S. I just want somebody, government, private enterprise, whomever, to at least start to look into alternatives to a "GAS PUMP" at your local BP station.
Short Term Planning for a Long Term Fuel Crunch is going to be NASTY.
