I've come to the conclusion there is only ONE reason why our elected officials prefer to see our economy in shambles instead of doing ANYTHING constructive to address energy problems. They are lining their pockets and putting personal profit ahead of the people who elected them and the future of the country.

NONE of them (including the 3 remaining presidential possibilities) deserve to be elected or re-elected IMO. Why should our choice in November be between two candidates who will be far worse presidents than Jimmy Carter?

don’t just look at presidential candidates. How do the Congressmen from YOUR state vote on matters concerning drilling and refining??

By your yardstick do they belong in Congress?? My Senators are for it, but not my congressman, for whom I have not voted.

I think that is part of the problem.

The other part is, as a country, the only way to finance the liberal giveaway, is a national debt. And that national debt needs to be bought by OTHER countries to keep it going. These other countries use the money WE pay to fill up our cars, to buy our country from us. Our politicians aren’t about to stop building this house of cards called the US.

We don’t own our country anymore. The politician over the years, have sold us to the Chinese and the Arabs.
