The sad part is if they would let us drill, mine, build garbage dumps here in the USA, Mother Earth would be a whole lot better off. I’ve been to a few of those places overseas and it is unreal on how the people and the environment gets screwed. If we could relax some of our controls over business (rather than keep pushing new and more outrageous controls on them) - we could become a major producer of things once again. Rather than just a bunch of service providers or guys that push file folders and money around.
Very well said! It's like everyone in the US is aligned in a huge circle, each person scratching the back of the person in front of them. We make very few things of value in this country. Common sense is a rare commodity these days!
