The various uprisings and revolts in the Mid East have wreaked havoc with America, and for that matter the rest of the world. As usual, America has done exactly the wrong thing by sending warships off the coast of Libya. We will never learn to mind our own business. We will always decide who needs help, and who doesn’t. For decades, America supported every single tin horn dictator which has been overthrown, including Libya. Now we’re going to make Libya a democracy? They’re doing just fine all by themselves, thank you, and our warships off the coast, as usual, sends the wrong message to Libya as well as the world. Will Libya be the next Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, or Vietnam? The all got started small, like we see in Libya.
Libya produces very little oil, and virtually none of it comes to us. Why are we there? Because a couple hundred people were killed? That’s what happens during revolts and revolutions. When people revolt, they are doing it for their own cause, and expect to possibly die. 30,000 get killed here in traffic accidents each year, and there are murders by the hundreds in America each year.
All the hullabaloo has made oil prices go up, and just in case you didn’t realize it, that includes diesel as well as gasoline. Food prices will go up, because farm tractors, trucks, and locomotives all use diesel fuel, and all are deeply imbedded in the food chain. So whoever the idiot was that sent warships to Libya, will be responsible for you spending a few dollars more each day, week, month, and year for vittles. And of course, there will be the inevitable military waste, fraud, and expense. If you have ever written to your Congressman or Senator, please do so NOW, and tell them to get those ships away from Libya, regardless of what Hilllary and Obama think. They’re wrong.
Why didn’t America send ships off the coast of Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, or Yemen? They were revolting too. Why Libya? Damn the D.C. war machine! Everything D.C. does, is wrong. The GAO today, is releasing an incredible list of duplicating federal agencies, which all do the same things at a cost of hundreds of billions a year. There are a hundred bureaucracies dealing with surface transportation, and there should be none. Railroads and airlines got along just fine without the DOT and 99 other similar agencies. Why don’t the Tea Party newbies insist on a massive federal layoff? Have they been corrupted already? A few more days and the whole thing will be shut down? When it happened under Newt, the world didn’t end. If it shuts down this time, how about not paying the laid off like they did last time? The incoming IRS taxes will carry the government behemoth along just fine for a little while.
Washington D.C. has become a runaway train; a nightmare, a bad dream, and a horror movie. It is so thoroughly evil, that I wonder if it can be cleaned up, even if elections go well next year. And people wonder why we get new customers every day, and why factories and mints can’t produce silver fast enough, even though they are working 24/7. The demand is just beginning, because the small trickle of thinkers is spreading, and around the world, more and more are realizing that their respective currencies, are nothing more than scraps of worthless paper, given pseudo value by legal tender laws.
