These blue union high unemployment democrat dominated states also have the highest taxes in the country. When you demonize the coumpanies that you work for and try to bleed them so bad they can't compete don't cry when they pack up and leave. These unions have run out the companies they worked for or bankrupted them so they turned their sights on goverment. Some states like Ohio ,New Jersey and Wisconsin have elected republican governors and state houses to put an end to the bleeding and try to save what industry they have left. Look to Greece and you will see where the unions will take us. Before OSHA the unions were needed. They fought for safe work places and fair pay. They are not needed anymore. Unions have cost this country entire industries. They will cost us our country with the social programs the democrats champion bankrupting us.
The ban on drilling has been lifted in name only. No permits have been issued. Gas prices are rising because of overseas issues and still we are not drilling. The lifting of the ban was for political show only
Exactly right. Drilling in ANWR, Off the Florida coast, Off the California coast and offshore Louisiana could end our dependency on mideast oil.
True. On the other hand with oil running out, perhaps we should continue deplete the foreign oil fields at $50-80 a barrel. In 50 years when oil is at $400 a barrel, it might pay us better to develop those reserves then.
Silly me. I thought it was environmental concerns and Obama pandering to the far left green interests that kept us from drilling. Your boy isn't worried about the debt he's piling onto our children 50 years down the road and I seriously doubt that he gives a fk about the cost of oil in2061.
+1. Rules for radicals first tear down the social and economic norms and then rebuild to what you want it to be. If they have it their way instead of the fourth of July we will have big red May day parades.
