Well I guess the U.S. Government, Congress and THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM banker / owners (all forty of them) who controls and owns the U.S. Government and us American citizens need a few more assets paid for by stealing even more money in “withholding” from our paychecks.  Sure the idea that the Democrats in Congress have is great.  Yeah, they, BIG GOVERNMENT, already charges us over 15% profit on a gallon of gasoline, far more if you include your State tax, while the “big oil” Companies only charge 4 – 8% in profit per gallon.  That is half or less of what the BIG GOVERNMENT take is.  Never mind that the shareholders of “big oil” are the general American public, you know, We The (peon) People who have pension programs, 401ks, and general investments in “big oil” so we can actually retire with some money we can count on. 

 

Oh, but,  yeah, we have Social Security and Medicare we can depend on because it is from “The Government”; yeah right!  We can “no doubt” trust BIG Government, hey? 

Sure Social Security and Medicare (ALONE) are only in the hole by $90,000,000,000,000.00 DOLLARS, in UNFUNDED liabilities, over the infinite horizon, as reported by The Washington Times.  (I wonder where that money is going to come from.  Are any of you able to take a stab at where the money for that $90 TRILLION, is going to come from?  Any guess at all? 

 

Sure, good idea, let’s let the U.S. Government “Directly” control our oil and gas supply!  I trust BIG Government that they won’t ration out gasoline and diesel to who “they think” deserves it.  Don’t you?  You trust them that if you are not paying “your fair share” of taxes that they won’t shut off your heat and light, don’t you?  No, they would never do anything like that to you, would they?  Heck they don’t raid your business and homes with guns and SWAT teams if you don’t pay “your fair share” of income taxes now do they?  Sure, we can all trust BIG GOVERNMENT.   They won’t even demand more in taxes for the “services” they do for us in getting out the oil, will they?

 

 Maybe our country can get even more in debt to THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM so they can take all of our cars, trucks and homes away from our families, so that we can sit on the street corner holding the hands of our children and look at the pretty trees lining the street and wondering how wonderful the leaves would be to eat.  Gee wouldn’t that be special!

Sure, we can trust the U.S. BIG GOVERNMENT.  Let’s see, what do they call that when “The State” owns the companies.  Let’s see, I believe they call that COMMUNISM.  Sure, we can “trust” them.  We voted for them to represent us, right?  And Communism MURDERED how many people on our planet?  OVER ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!  Good Idea!  Let’s trust Government, so we don’t have anything to worry about.  I will be able to sleep better now.  And, who knows, the way it’s going maybe BIG GOVERNMENT will help me to Rest In Peace.

House Democrats responded to President’s Bush’s call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live. Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply. They also reasserted that the reason the Appropriations Committee markup (where the vote on the amendment to lift the ban) was cancelled so they could focus on preparing the supplemental Iraq spending bill for tomorrow. At an off-camera briefing, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said the same. And a senior Republican House Appropriations Committee aide adds that “there were multiple reasons for the postponement” including discussion on the supplemental. But the aide said there was the thought that Democrats may wish to avoid a debate today on energy amendments. Continued…
