Obama: No New Drilling In The Gulf For & Years
I think it's a good idea to be cautious with drilling in these Deepwater Horizon Oilwells. Before building these massive oilwells i think every pre-caution and safety should be used to make sure that this year's accident will not happen again. I mean we just had the largest oil spill in US History. However, some on the right believe jobs will be lost to overseas oilwells and therefore setting back this country's economy. I can remeber many saying why doesn't the President DO SOMETHING well this is something that's being done for the future of the Gulf.
Peace

what the fuck does jindal want??? he claimed that the administration did not do enough and bp was not acting fast enough, and now he blames obama for "even more jobs overseas??" proof that no matter what obama does he can not ever win. jindal complained about what happened to the people on the coast, and the administration wants to proceed with caution, and all of a sudden it is not fast enough. make up your mind jindal...
i think the moratorium is a good thing. it is clear that we can not trust the oil companies to be careful, so maybe now we can develop safer policies and procedures so we do not have another gulf deluge...

and even if this article were true it says that congress has not agreed to this deal, and if it does not pass congress the deal is off.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Why give another country money to create jobs in an industry that this government is banning from people getting those jobs here?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Jindal is a freaking clown. His popularity is down 13% from this time a year ago, and if there was one decent Democrat candidate in Louisiana he'd get his arse handed to him on a plate come reelection time (assuming he's still here then and hasn't quit to run for the presidency). As it is, the book he's currently peddling is filled with inaccuracies and is basically page after page of "Obama sucks, I rule!" He's Palin with testicles, and I can't for the life of me understand why Republicans think he'd make a good president. He took a state that was in bad shape and made it worse, and now is doing the morning talk show rounds with his book talking about how he fixed the problems and it's all hunky dory.
Where's the money going to come from to pay for the benefits extension?
I mean, I guess the Treasury could always print more. It worked so well for Germany after WW1.
Well, not extending the tax cuts for the uberrich would pay for quite a deal of it, I'm sure...

Or, we could refuse to tax those who create jobs to death.

As it relates to stimulus, my position is the business owner needs lower taxes and less red tape. There is more of a fostering of free enterprise when there is incentive to do business. If the "rich" see an environment where they are free to hire employees, make more profit, and face less Draconian regulation, everyone will benefit.
The last en years do not stand to serve as a litmus test of the success of the capitalist system. The housing market crash was due to subprime lenders issuing money to people who had no chance of ever repaying the loans, while entities like Fannie Mae guaranteed the loans. Those loans may not have been guaranteed if the government hadn't implemented policies (under Clinton) which ostensibly forced banks to lend.
I see to an extent where you're coming from, but I simply disagree.

you say the last 10 years are not a litmus test for the success of capitalism. if those 10 years are not, then why is is that every 30 years or so we have a massive downturn? the great depression, world war II, then we had some prosperity, then the downturn/recessions of the 70s and 80s, and 90s, and now this. taken together those few incidents cover more that enough years to serve as a litmus test of the capitalist system.
how is this one? the rich continue to get richer, while wages for the average worker have stagnated, and many people actually had to take pay cuts to keep their jobs, all while everything has gone up, housing, utilities, groceries, gas, health care costs have skyrocketeted, all the while the gap between rich and poor is the highest it has ever been. this system is unsustainable.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
In addition, basic economics dictates a cyclical system. Invariably, external factors will cause this. What screws everything (and everyone) is government intervention.
What is the suggested alternative? Communism?
no the suggested alternative is making the asshats in congress act on behalf of the people instead of playing cute little games like "i am gonna oppose that only because i can" and " i am only one senator, but i have the power to derail obama's plans that will help this country, so i am gonna send this bill back to committee so we don't have to vote on it this session"...i blame the republicans for the current way things are and their stalling and derailing, and i blame the dems for being pussies and caving on everything.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
In that case, I guess it is what it is at the present time. Hopefully, gridlock on BOTH sides doesn't stop a real, genuine economic recovery.
Businesses are afraid of this administration.
