What a week for fantacy policy that will swallow the rest of everyone' wallet that works to pay the bills.  Having listened to the GA congressman  speak on FOX TV that to immediately reduce the price at the pump he spoke about the puny local bio-fuel plant that utilizes chicken fat and the expression that he'd support repeal of the  Brazilian tariff on imported sugarcane ethanol ...dreaming in the hot sun. Chicken fat is a finite ingredient for supply, as well the Japanese have already found the Brazillian well on ethanol short for export and have decided to emulate the USA with a rice version...oh boy. So to acquire the democrats biomaterial  are we to gather leaves and CO2 organics that will require more expense than retrieved by more diesel heavy machinery, the commodity markets are already hot with the limited and yes finite natural ingredients that are fertilizer, do we spend these for Al Gore' dream green or secure them for human food production...seems that question isn't being asked in any public quarters.  Congress invited T. Boone Pickens to speak and he said" I'll drill , plant windmills, do solar, just NO imports...for so many reasons that are security and National Interest related....the Democrats yawned.  His conversation stated the government' own numbers of $700B annual for oil imports; didn't we usually hear in past political chatter that "investments" being in education, which after 50 years of additional money and the NEA lobbying  congress fix the K-12 RRRs?   It was a Clinton expression that $1B of investment would generate 20,000 new jobs, well  old energy is OK for foreigners.  Democrats are very good at creating jobs in other countries that have realized an explosion of new billionaires!  We get  promises.    Obama is talking about $150B over 10 years, chump change compared to the $7T without indexing for inflation if we continue to import oil,  but we cannot drill in ANWAR or elsewhere offshore except where sceismic studies show there is no oil, who would build or drill for water if you knew your dream home wouldn't flush anything?    Then we get Senator (NJ) Menendez on TV talking the phantom energy game all over; gone to the fill station and seen any new options for "new energy" , more likely a bag notice that says  "out of gas", his would say NOT INVENTED YET,  and will most likely never get to your  neck of the Earth?  So while America sends more money to Hugo Chavez, he vistits Putin' WAR STORE to 'invest' in the rewards of energy necessity for us in arms, gives his countrymen a rice store, and will ship "free oil" to America' latest state,NH, to cry beggar for winter heating needs in a chance to shame domestic Big Oil, the jobs aren't in America and I doubt that they recycle those dollars for research  in American  Universities for Al's global warming dreams. So many lost opportunities to do for ourselves at the alter of misguided intentions with a poorly conceived approach to a good intention gone horrorably wrong.  What does your representative do for you issue after issue?
