My comment was not intended to be taken in that way.
However we helped make the Emirates capable of buying
our assets and now we are faced with the probablility
that they and other oil rich countries will own us.
By driving gas guzzlers we are helping signify to the
sheiks and emirs that we are willing to be bought.
Lets figure out how to distill E85 at a profit, use
nuclear power, and drill for oilon our own territory.
I'm all for that if I don't have to spend a fortune to upgrade my vehicle. It's paid for, old, low miles, and gas could triple and I'd still be ahead for now, just thinking of myself. For others, it's getting really difficult.
I don't know if it covers all real estate, but my state has laws that prohibit foreign entities from buying, especially farmland. The rest of it is too complicated to continue with here. If it weren't cost effective, we wouldn't have had so many farmers go out of livestock and just grow crops.
I'm glad you didn't mean it the way it came across. Not much in the way of good news this morning, and I know all to well that a split in the Republican party would be a very bad thing. Things have not been going well before this went down. Now the internet chatter is really abuzz with impeachment over this latest. Never mind that Clinton let China have certain interests that would have been better left alone.
I know change is inevitable and we have to adapt to a great extent, but Republicans have taken a series of hits recently, some unjustly imo but controversial, and it does not bode well for the next election cycle. Do we just want to hand over the next presidency and more congressional seats to the Dems on a silver platter? I sure as h**l don't.
