The lead in was just like many things coming from the left. Take one facet of a complex problem, make up a far-fetched scenario and call everyone else wrong.
First off, the concern (gas prices) was a purely selfish concern, when there are many other reasons to drill here. The following are just a few of them:
1) Yes, to lower costs to a people already suffering under a burdensome, high spending, taxaholic government.
2) Open up hundreds of thousands of jobs in the oil fields.
3) Provide possibly millions of peripheral jobs in trucking, pipe companies, restaurants, hotels, motels, recreation providers and uncountable other occupations
4) Keep more American currency here in America.
5) Drastically reduce American wealth being transferred out of our control.
6) Stop funding terrorists and the nations which support them. Why give huge sums to those bent on murdering us and our children ?
The list can go on, but why do so ...there are about 50% of the people who either will not "get it" or simply don't care..they will nurse on the old, tired sow until she finally expires.
I have a lifelong friend who always made substantially more money than did I, but he is not now doing as well as I. Problem was, he had a wife who could spend money much faster than he could make it.
Truth is, no matter what we do, we cannot make money nearly as fast as the liberal, socialist, Marxists can p_ _s it away !
There's where we must make changes
