Is Drilling equivalent to Welfare?
I have been thinking about the price of oil, and the whimpering from the republicans and others. Oil prices are driven by supply, demand, and competition. Demand is driven by lifestyle. Now if a women cannot make a mistake and welfare participants cannot make a mistake then Americans who have made bad decisions regarding energy should suffer the same social darwinistic plight. So I guess I don’t understand why republicans are blaming drilling, aka ruining our planet, for their own bad decisions.
Just as republicans and others complain about taxes, shouldn’t citizens of the world complain about wasteful lifestyles that have the potential to ruin mother earth? It would seem from a moral point of view to be a fair conclusion. So again let me repeat my question, if we are irresponsible with energy then why the complaints? Didn’t we create this situations? Answers welcome.
