I have done every thing in my power to allow us to have oil on our own soil. However, it was not just the dems that caused our problems as we speak, the repubs had their hands in the pie as well. Not Bush but Congress. It may be too late to catch the run away train now. IMHO the American economy will continue to sink. When we are all riding bicycles maybe folks will wake up. It may be too late then.

What makes you think our economy is ‘sinking’ ?

When we are all riding bicycles maybe folks will wake up.

At present I commute around 100 miles one way to get to work. I've had to find an inexpensive living arrangement near where I work to cut down on costs, but riding a bicycle to work on Monday, and home on Friday would just be too much to ask of me. My next option is to move closer to where I work, and I'm working on that. Unfortunately, because the area around where I work is not a good location to live, moving down here will probably end up meaning driving more miles per week than what I currently do.
