  • How Much Inflation Will We Have to Endure?
    I have to agree with CLH's comment on this article: “An entire page of wrongheaded myth and negativity." As with most so-called experts who write for various and sundry media outlets, the author suffers from verbosity of the pen. Much ado about nothing.

    To keep it short and simple, inflation is based, today, on one overwhelming fact: the price of Oil!! Until we get this under control and down to a reasonable level, inflation will continue to escalate. Additionally, until we clean out the gang of 535 that occupies the Congress and screws up everything they touch, nothing of significance will happen in the war on inflation.

    The American electorate has the power to begin this task in November by voting-out the entire House of Representatives and a good portion of the Senate. However, the replacements had better understand the mission they will be charged to accomplish by We the People and get to work on it when they take office in January 2009. Significant progress on energy independence must be completed by March 2009. If we are to dig out of the mess that the Democrats have manufactured since taking control in 2006, we must start in November.

    Although, the Republicans in Congress have been ineffective since 2006 (some would argue long before that date) they are starting to stir, once more. They are stopping the programs of the Dems to join the nonsense of the global warming wackos and the kowtowing to the UN wonks. Additionally, they are pushing their program of “Drill Here, Drill Now!” and are attracting the support of the vast majority of the citizenry. If they stick to their guns and make significant progress, we may allow some of them to remain in place in November. If not, out they go!

    One last point. The author of this article, Marvin Clark, bemoans the expenditure of billions of dollars in the Iraq War. Tell me, Mr. Clark, how many billions would be spent if the terrorists were able to, directly, attack this nation? As with the liberals who oppose the war, your insights and criticisms are too narrowly focused and completely disregard the consequences of your proposals. I believe a high colonic would work wonders on clearing your vision.
