>>Bottom line we are so screwed and now my oldest turns 15 today and looks to a future of a country going third world

Send him to college, if you must. But be sure that he learns a trade too. We’ll all be proletariat serfs one day, but even in the Soviet Union, electricians and mechanics were valued.

Your comment was my exact thought. I have to assume this is yet another example of how the media implies you can get the benefits of a Republican president while having an anti-business environmentalist nut running the office of POTUS.

That's really odd, because this article from MAY 2011, says the US already is one. They really need to get their stories straight and consistent if we're supposed to believe them.

I do not believe a damn word, not one!

Had Newt been elected, we would have been on top.

Had Romney been elected, we had a good chance of being on top.

With that white hating black bastard in office and the democrats in power... there is no way to win at this. Besides, under democrat rule, it won’t be long before we can no longer afford fuel or even the things we need it for.

The ethanol, biodiesel and “other” sources require the use of imported crude oil NOT derived from US owned resources. This article is doubly bull crap when this is combined with complete blocking of access to primary crude sources by the greenie communists in charge.

Not sure about the plumbing, but I know a refrigeration engineer who goes over to the former Soviet ‘stans several times a year to modernize their cold storage warehouses. He says that the Soviet era stuff is amazingly ugly and unimaginative and inefficient but it still works.
