As Europe develops their reserves of shale gas (which we refuse to allow forcing drilling to go thousands of feet deep like oh, say, certain BP rigs, thanks, environmentalists!) and begs Russia to remain invested in the Euro, a thought occurs to me. OK, two thoughts. The first is: Dear, God, the last thing the world needs is an increasingly anti-American Europe and a Russia falling faster and faster into a modified despotism similar to its former Soviet ways with an American President who is an apologist and has all the spine of an earth worm with regard to foreign policy. The second thought is: it seems that every nation that currently remains prosperous has little or no restrictions on the use of its own natural resources, specifically oil. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D. should be federal prison) recently complained that rich people, who pay roughly 90% of the federal tax burden, don't pay their fair share (the comments to the article on Politico, which is a pretty middle of the road site, are just about universally critical of her position), citing Brazil as having a high tax burden and prosperous economy. This is the same Brazil that the current administration threw $2 billion dollars to develop their oil drilling prospects. The corporate recipient, Petrobas, is, not suprisingly, partially owned by George Soros, or as he is known amongst superheros, Captain Evil Douchebag. From the dates of the announcements, it appears Soros bought in just a few short days before the administration announced the investment. Did I just stumble across another criminal act of the administration? Brazil is a large energy exporter due to its development of oil. Russia is prospering, at least in some manner, from its energy exports. The middle east has no idea there is a recession, except for Dubai and it's tourist industry. And so I say drill, baby, drill.
