You're right, for some. Many, I don't know. Some are probably unemployable hash slinging or at Starbucks. For personal decisions, I can't say all, given the number of government programs available, I'll accept mostly. And if it's everyone, doesn't matter. We're discussing a charitable program (hope I'm not wrong on this), not a government program. IMO that's the best place for help to come from, so I wish the bubbles people success. And as to the beneficiaries not deserving, that's not a reflection on the charity.
As to the oilfield jobs, our government is doing everything it can to make sure they're not developed.
The new oil field booms seem to have a large critical mass behind them, and OPEC thus far isn’t moving to undercut them, something which killed past U.S. oil booms. It remains to be seen if OPEC would keep that same attitude if instead of Obama, a Republican — even Mitt — became president. But also, since these new booms pretty much depend on fracking, they are politically vulnerable. One fracking site, out of thousands, was suspected of getting oil into shallow aquifers. And the greenies are going ape crap over it, when such a low incidence problem if it’s even real (and not a coincidence of a local toxic materials spill) would probably be best addressed by piping in fresh water subsidized by the fracking companies.
