Right now our country is sending billions of dollars in "foreign aid" to Egypt and other middle eastern countries. We've been doing it for decades under both republican and democrat "deciders".
We send that money over there in attempt to buy allies, buy dictators, buy muslims, buy whatever.
Why? Because that region supplies us with oil. We need to buy the allies and dictators and muslims and whatever because that's the policy we've always had to keep the whole region from melting down which will interfere with the oil supply. Because our economy lives or dies on the availability of that oil.
And if that situation hasn't been bad enough, now it's getting worse. Because now we're having to compete with the "emerging" countries who also want the oil. Many of them which if not our outright enemies, are surely not what we can call "allies". The same countries whose military capabilities are growing.
And of course that's just the price when we aren't invading and occupying the middle east. For the last ten years that price we're paying has been exponentially higher.
And oh but it gets far far worse. Because all that money is buying us is the privelege of being able to spend hundreds of billions of dollars more on oil from that same region putting all of that American wealth into their pockets.
Why anyone (liberal, conservative, tea party, libertarian, black, white, young, old, californian, alabamian, man, woman, straight, queer, tall, short, ugly, pretty, fat, skinny or anything else) would not think it's wise to do what we can to start replacing that imported middle east oil with American made electricity (or natural gas or whatever), is just a complete mystery to me. Not to steve doocy maybe. But it is to me.
