The Democrats wanted a financial crisis and energy crisis to get their candidate in the White House. People have no earthly idea the lengths politicians will go too, to push an agenda down our throats. They will deny it to everyone that will listen to them. However the proof is there if you look for it. The Republicans lost their heart and their will to fight years ago when the media started an all out assault on their ideals.
Let's start with the fact that most of the world's oil that is brought out of the ground is basically being held hostage in the equivalent of third world Countries or Kingdoms. These Countries and Kingdoms where nothing and would still be nothing if not for the oil they posses. But yet we have to deal with these unstable psychopaths because our leaders sold us out to the environmentalists years ago. The Countries and Kingdoms that sell energy have basically no environmental rules when it comes to oil production. They are so unstable, but yet we still would rather deal with them than the environmental lobby in this country. Our politicians simply don't care or have the courage to stand up and say enough is enough. Russia gets mad at the Ukraine and shuts off half of Europe from their gas supply in the middle of winter. We haven't built a refinery in America in years with capacity at 100% for almost as many years. California could use 2 dozen power plants today. Our are politicians really this stupid or do they just think we are.
We have gone so extreme with environmental policies that they will never get done. By 2012 people will begin to relocate to places across the country that can give them the energy to sustain the life style they want.
Every part of this economic crisis can be traced to years of Government greed and ambition at our expense. Everything is done with getting a vote in mind. No decision in Government is ever made with you or me in mind. It's Ego pure and simple. If not why on earth would you spend almost 30 Million for a job that pays $400,000? If you can make that brilliant business decision, you must be qualified to run a country with a 3.5 trillion dollar budget.
Then you pressure Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into giving un or under qualified folks a loan for a home. Buying more votes right there. Then when the guys you pressured go nuts trying to hide these loans from everyone you say their crooks (and they are) and you will save the public, thus buying more votes. Did you bother to tell the public "you" put the fox in charge of the hen house? Yeah, I thought not!
I really hate to tell you this folks but, a large percentage of the VOTING public drank the Kool-Aid years ago and they keep coming back for more. Politicians have convinced large voting blocks of the citizenry that they alone are their salvation. Nothing is ever their fault, ever. Well this is, though I doubt any politicians will ever admit to it.
I chronicled the direct correlation between rising energy costs and the foreclosure rates. It also explained the fact that Barney Frank and his cronies pressured both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into making the bad loans in the first place. Both President Clinton and Bush tried to tighten lending requirements but, good ole Barney fought them off, as usual. You have a 4% Decrease in energy demand worldwide and a whopping 400% price increase to the buying public and you can't see a crisis coming? Please tell me our leaders are not that far detached from the population. Let's see now, the average citizen's electric bill went from let's say $150 to almost $500 in a blink of the eye. Then that $25 tank of gas is now $100. Right off the bat you have a negative $650 a month or more for the average person on the street. No one, could see this coming? Was Ray Charles teaching Stevie Wonder to drive the economy here? How about the House and the Senate, they didn't lift a finger to help the American consumer. Oh. A few of them talked the talk but, in the end they did nothing. When the average American has close to $8000 unplanned coming out of their bank account a year with wages basically static, what the hell did you think was going to happen to the economy!
