Yet Another Debt Increase!!!

Due to Congress being a moot point in America, we are in a very dangerous position of total collapse with nobody minding the store. The national debt limit may require yet another increase before Xmas as it is increasing by an average of $3B+ per day since Sept. 1 getting closer to the magic $10T mark, the Republicans are threatening to close the government over budget battles, the administration's takeover of the mortgsge industry will add billions to our swollen debt making the new administration into a lame duck before they are even elected. Thanks to Benedict Arnold Bush, the Bush Buddies will have a Merry Bailed Out Xmas this year while the rest of us struggle to buy $100/loaf bread while defaulting our $500/month utility bills. The American Dream has become the Bailed Out Buddy Nightmare!!!

Energy Independence

Yes to using all domestic fuel sources in our quest for energy independence. Yes to developing new energy sources that are AFFORDABLE and dependable, and do not compete with our food resources.

Drill

Why isn't the US opening up more areas for drilling? We are send billions of dollars to other countries for oil, and we can't pump our oil? This do-nothing congress should be replaced en masse - starting with Nancy Pelosi.

Secretary Paulson NOT happy with your oversight!

GOP lack of oversight leads to Leviathan-sized banks failures.

WORLD CLASS FOOLS!

THIS COUNTRY COULD TAKE A LESSON FROM THE BRAZILIANS AND THEYRE CONTINUED MOVE TOWARDS BIOFUELS. HAVE A LOOK GENTLRMAN AND COME BACK WITH SOME SNAPPY ANSWERS THAT MAKE SOME SORT OF SENSE. BIOFUELS WIND ENERGY SOLAR ENERGY. LETS ALL LOOK AT THE AVAILABLE SCENARIOS AND LETS MAKE A NATIONAL COMMITMENT TO RESCUEING OUR COUNTRY FROM THE FOOLS IN POLITICS! DONT B.S. ME ABOUT THE COST OF THE EFFORT OR THE TIME INVOLVED. THERE HAS TO BE A UNITED EFFORT TO CARRY THIS INITIAVE THROUGH THE HALLOWED HALLS OF POWER! ELECT ME AS ENERGY SECRETARY AND LETS HAVE A RIOTIOUS MOVE TOWARDS THE CORRECT PATH OF TRUE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE!!!!!!!!

BUSH, REID, AND PELOSI RECESSION

BUSH, REID, AND PELOSI RECESSION AND INFLATION DARK YEARS AHEAD

In accordance with their grand scheme, the tyrannical Neo-Con/Neo-Lib dominated Bush, Reid, and Pelosi government must now start paying for their Constitutionally illegal Iraq War, 12 million illegal aliens usurping services and jobs, outsourcing of technology and jobs to China, and their Greenspan and Paulson subprime mortgage lending and stock trading scam, by now printing billions of dollars to rescue these world-class crooks; thereby subjecting the government betrayed American People to systematic ruinous recession and inflation.

Check out what it takes to convert your car!

G to the EPA WEB page ans look for the violations you will get if you choose to, with your God given ability, convert your car to CNG, LNG or for that matter any fuel other than the one your vehicle was designed for. You are violating Federal Law if you choose to do so. Only those licensed as facilities to do this conversion can do such a task. Are we not supporters of Lowes, HomeDepot, Ace Hardware when it comes to fixing anything that in most states require a license? Well if you want to clean the air you breath, conserve a precious fuel you will have to go where the license is given for that task. Doesn't seem to be the fastest way to solve a problem does it?

In fact another thing you don't see discussed on the news is that despite the fact that the president's rating is at 30 percent, Congress's is at about 19 percent. Which right now is controlled by democrats, and the president had to get congress to go for the Iraq war. Without Congress approval the president can't do anything really. So really we should be criticizing Congress not the President.

The Iraq war

My cousin is over in Iraq right now, the purpose of the war is not for our need for fuel, rather its to keep the terrorist groups over in their country rather than having them over in our country

Refer: No New Stimulus Packages!!! - What you have been doing about Deficit & Iraq War

We are borrowing and funding the unwarranted Iraq War $ 10 billion per month and it added 600 billion dollar to deficit (most of no-bid contractors go the money) so far.

You are hypocritical about Deficit on Stimulus Package
