So you say that he should\'ve sat back and let the economy fix itself?....without throwin\' any type of money at it? Do nothing about the housing mess? Doing it your way, this thing would\'ve crashed months ago. Any way you look at it, he had to spend trillions just to keep the economy going.
Bush & co. may have started this fiasco, but from what i understand the housing sector is really what made alot of banks and alot of our major institutions collapse. He\'s spending on solar technology, investing in american hybrid technology and other energy efficient ventures...yes those things cost money, but why should we wait until our backs are to the wall in terms of creating ways to lessen out dependence on foreign oil?.......gas is low now, and nobody\'s complaining, but those guys over in those arab countries, was saying that they wanted to cut oil production in half just so that they can increase demand.
So even with the state of the economy, these guys still want to have their cake and eat it...they are not even processing the oil in terms of converting it to gas and other products like other major gasoline companies(exxon/mobil)..they are just taking the crud out of the ground and selling it...and as you\'ve noticed gas prices are rising again as we get to the summer months (yes it normally happens every year, but my point is that regardless of the economy these guys still want to get the maxium price regardless of the global economy)
So when gas prices go back to the $2.50 - $4.00 mark....don\'t bitch and whine because of the prices...that said, of course i know these energy efficient technologies aren\'t going to end our dependence on oil in general, but it still gives us other options and over time hopefully it\'ll end up being cheaper and at the end of the day he\'s investing directly in america itself and not some foreign entity.....at least he\'s making an attemp for america to be the leader again in these types of technologies instead of foreign countries.
