With President Trump and Drill Baby Drill, we had begun exporting LNG in massive amounts to Europe.
DemocRATS and socialists just love shortages of all kinds. I’ll never forget this amazing book by Shirley Christian “Nicaragua: A Revolution In the Family.” Before the Sandinista Commies took power, there were thriving farmers markets all over the country. Farmers from far and wide brought their crops to sell. In small villages, and larger towns, there was an abundance of food. The day after the Commies took power, food rationing was instituted, and the farmers markets were ILLEGAL. Anyone caught trying to sell were immediately arrested as an enemy of the state. Just like in every other communist, socialist, fascist state, the ‘leaders’ (dictators) had all the food, and rationed it, to be ‘fair.’ The Commies in Nicaragua even boasted about their freedom of the press. What they did not tell the world was that they did not just ration the paper the ‘press’ could use, they only provided paper to the newspapers and magazines that printed ‘the truth.’ So, anyone trying to get out anything ‘untruthful’ had no paper with which to print.
The modern-day Sandinistas in America use FakeBook, YouTube, Twitter, Et Al to ban anything considered untrue. We shall see.
Remember the shortages and long lines at stores in Soviet Russia? That’s what happens when we let communists “plan” the economy.
