Does anyone here think that Obama, Senators or Representatives actually write the laws/budgets that they debate and vote on?
That's part of the problem, too. Look at that "free" health care law. Over 1200 pages of non sense legal junk. How many of them actually read it? You're hittin' that Obama crack a little too hard if you think they did. They have no clue what is in it. It's time we get all the lawyers out of D.C. and bring in people who have real world experience running a business. Let's put an end to the lobbying, while we're at it.
Unions also need to go. There time has come and gone. What good have the unions done in the past 15 years? Working conditions are not what they were in the 18th century.
Even though the Constellation program has been shut down for an extended period of time, NASA is still spending $1.4 million a day on it. Does that make any sense? I'm sure there's better uses for that money throughout the country.
Something that pisses me off about Obama is that he promised the people working at Cape Canaveral, which is where the shuttle and some rockets launch from, that he wasn't shutting them down. Well guess what, he did. NASA is one of the biggest employers in this area both directly and indirectly. That is going to kill what's left of the economy here. Just lake week more than 500 people got laid off.
While I'm at it, why the hell aren't we producing more oil for ourselves? I've heard the argument "It won't bring down prices because it won't stay in the country." I understand that, but once you flood the market with a surplus of oil the prices will drop. Once oil prices drop the prices of virtually everything drops. Then there's the "Drilling for oil will destroy the Earth." Yes, it will, when not done properly. We are the cleanest drilling country in the world. Drilling in Alaska will not be as bad as the tree hugers want you to believe. Had the BP incident happened in say 1,000 ft or less of water, or on land it would have been fixed within two days. The only reason it took as long as it did was the extremely high pressures they were dealing with. You can't send divers down a mile, but you can send one down 1,000 ft. I challenge you to name 3 things that don't require any form of petroleum for their production. I can't think of any.
