Frankly I don’t have a clue the best course of action so I entrust the conservative leadership to work it out.
This one time buyout must be about more than just the dollar amount, tho, since we spend the same amount—$700 billion—every single year on foreign oil for energy without even batting an eye.
The only “conservative leadership” I can see in Washington are the conservative Republicans (DeMint, Shelby, Bunning) who have been totally opposed to the Paulson plan. But it looks like they will not be enough.
