Elephant In the Room

We are on the razor's edge now and the interest on our debt is very low. Rates will go up. Five per cent on twelve trillion is six hundred billion a year. The way Congress is spending we will soon be paying interest on twenty trillion. That's one trillion per year.

The price of oil is headed up. One hundred dollar oil will have a big impact on our economy. We still have people laughing at the thought of developing our own oil. They think drill baby drill is funny. They also think a new trillion dollar entitlement is no problem. Borrow and spend. Live for today.

We need to build nuclear power plants, develope natural gas to run vehicles and power plants, and drill all the oil we can-including off the California coast. One crisis and it will cost one hundred dollars to fill our cars.How many dreamers think we won't have a crisis in the Middle East?

Elephant? Comrade, that's not an elephant, you are hallucinating. Are you feeling OK? Perhaps you need to see a doctor, come with us, we'll take you to a place where you can get the help you need...

How could the price of oil possibly go up? The only reason that it went through the roof last time was because Bush was personally pushing it up to make money for his buddies. Bush is gone, and we have the inexperienced Howdy Doody community organizer now as president. Are you saying that there is no difference between Bush and Obama? Seems to me that either the libs were lying and playing politics last year, or Obama must be on the payroll of big oil. Either way, oil prices going through the roof will mean that the trigger oil provided for the economic downturn will happen again. Since Obama's recession is so deep and looks to extend as far as the eye can see, we certainly cannot afford more socialized medicine or other lib schemes to redistribute wealth to their favorite slaves.
