From josh22922:


If we're addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.

Our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem... finding new energy sources is more important than ever.

So which is it? Interesting how the administration run by a drug addict sees everything in terms of addiction. Also interesting how the same folks solution is to increase supply. That does not sound like "admitting that we have a problem".

This turn of events sure says a lot about the personality of our dear leaders. Interesting.

• The price of a barrel of oil will rise a little more

. Then an announcement will be made of the discovery of huge oil reserves "North of Russia" and in Indonesia. These will flood the market with oil and the price will drop to $50 a barrel.

• That will bankrupt the Arab nations - who will be forced to dump their dollar reserves.

• That will in turn effectively bankrupt the US, and America will see a financial collapse from which it will take years to recover.

• Following that will come the North American Union and the Amero.
