Lets all just go out and break windows to help out the glass makers.

And other news today NASA is trying to figure out how to repair the Hubble Telescope with a ladder from Mars, The DOE say Gas prices are the Smurfs fault, Unicorns are now classified as pin point polluters with Uni corn poop and are not a "green" Nuclear deterrent and we can train the killer bees from SNL to defend our border instead of people.... THESE are the same fantasies as the White House unemployment idea....... Paul

It took me a minute for it all to sink in - that is funny!

Paul, Good to see you didn't lose you sense of humor in the wreck.

Well in the past 3 years I've learned than Forrest Gump was a very, very wise man....."Stupid is as stupid does"...says it all. Heck a run around the DC Loop , I find myself drooling when I'm leaving it. Paul

My first reaction was "stupid bitch" but I realize she is saying what she is told to, so that makes her a good employee. She is covering her ass and justifying her position. These unemployed people aren't helping the economy, they are barely paying bills and keeping gas in their cars. That is economic life support. She sees movement and claims this is good because it is not stagnent, I see it moving toward the cliff without steering or brakes. If we drill more can we keep it here? MOST OF OUR OIL IS GOING TO CHINA!!! If we lower gas prices then the price of just about everthing will come down because of manufacturing and transportation costs. I noticed that since minimum wage went up, my grocery bill went up, coincidence? Our ignorant leader said it would help the low income people, bullshit, it had a neutral effect because their expenses went up also. Zero sum gain. I will now sit in my living room and clean guns waiting on the black sedans to show up.

I've never been offered a job by a poor person.

[Olivetroad]

I had a real nice guy pick up a truck today he bought from me on ebay. He owns some oil wells on his land in Kansas and does his own drilling and sales of the oil. He says they just flame off most of the natural gas they find and then pump out the crude to sell.

Saudi Arabia drills for oil, then they use most of their natural gas internally, so they can sell more of their crude to foreign countries like us.

Why can't we do the same? We don't have the pipelines and infastructure to use it. If we used our natural gas instead of some of the oil we currently use, gas prices should decrease along with the demand. Think how our economy would cook along if everyone saved $20.00 from what they are currently paying everytime they filled up their tank?

Why is it everytime I run into a guy that gets his hands dirty, and actually knows what is wrong with our country, he is never running for office?

They drive Chevy Volts ......Some body has to use them......

The guy with the dirty hands is not "Media Friendly."... common sense and real life experience has no place in any part of government from local to DC. Sadly that is a reason that that Newt won't get the nomination. Like Nixon running against Kennedy...the one that looks good on video wins....no more no less. You can be average with a good idea or a Media image with a bad idea and guess who they listen to! No values in elections mostly image and little else. How many people realize JFK created the SEIU and gave Civil Servants the power of collective bargining to clinch the election for himself. Even FDR said the giving civil servants the power of collective bargining makes the public the servant not the government.

This is what T Bone Pikens has been preachin.

exactly- wonder how many small businesses go out of business because they can't afford to pay their employees any more because the minimum wage keeps going up.

It's good to have a minimum wage law, but I thought it was more for student's summer jobs, or easy jobs like a pie taster, or the guy that keeps the roller grill loaded with hot dogs, and not supposed to be high enough where you could do a simple job and support a family of 9 or a crack habit on minimum wages.

You get a better job that requires more knowlege and skill and you should be paid better. Goes back to the same old thing, people want more and more for doing less and less all the time.
