With the big three auto companies in big trouble, no one poses the question why? Could it be that big gas guzzlers pushed to make the more money would backfire when the peak oil scare hit us? Did they know this would happen or did they care?
I hear people all the time saying the economy is a bigger issue than the war. Well, they are related. Wars take a lot of resources, money materials and human lives. This country faces a war on two fronts and the next president Barack Obama is probably not going to just “cut and run.”
Bush in his warped thinking, may have believed these wars would ease the strain of peak oil. But it had just the opposite effect. Now this country has to face a recession. As a nation we’ve collectively let the pigs feed at the trough until they are gorged and there’s nothing left for the rest of us. As the rest of us go under and parish, so goes the rest of the bloated corporate hacks that have bled us dry.
Now the big three auto companies want a government handout (corporate welfare). And we had to bail out several banks. If it weren’t for borrowed tax money, our whole economy would have gone down the drain. It may go anyway. The bailouts are just a temporary fix. This is the worst recession since the great depression and it may get worse before it gets better.
Some of our other so called allies may be looking to empire build themselves now that this country has over extended itself both militarily and economically.
And we can all thank that idiot president George Bush and the morons of the Republikkkan Party in the US Congress today.
