So we know where we stand in the order of priorities with this administration.<\/p>\n<p>So how would I end this fiscal mess? Easy. I&#8217;d open up our oil fields to exploration and drilling. And, oh, yeah, I&#8217;d take the common sense approach and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/energysource\/2011\/06\/30\/if-u-s-says-no-to-canadian-oil-sands-pipeline-china-will-say-yes\/\">help finish the Trans-Canada pipeline<\/a> from Canada&#8217;s oil sands to Houston. Those two easy measures would put thousands, if not millions of Americans to work, the Left would finally get their grubby paws on those oil company &#8220;windfall profits&#8221; by way of the economy &#8211; who would have to hire all of those people and build a support network to those isolated oil fields?<\/p>\n<p>Yep, it&#8217;d be the magic bullet to put Americans back to work and rebuild our infrastructure. The president could do it himself by presidential proclamation and deal with Congress when they come back from vacation&#8230;you know, show some leadership for once. He could also rein in the job-killing decisions that EPA is famous for. Was Jimmy Carter just blowing smoke when he announced the formation of the Energy Department with these words;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I will urge Congress to create an energy mobilization board which, like the War Production Board in World War II, will have the responsibility and authority to cut through the redtape, the delays, and the endless roadblocks to completing key energy projects.<\/p>\n<p>We will protect our environment. But when this Nation critically needs a refinery or a pipeline, we will build it. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah we haven&#8217;t built a refinery or an oil pipeline since he said those words in July 1979 in his famous <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.volstate.edu\/geades\/FinalDocs\/1970s&#038;beyond\/malaise.htm\">Malaise Speech<\/a>. So if there are indeed any leaders left in Washington, this is the quickest way to get us out of this mess and it&#8217;s fairly easy and it won&#8217;t cost the tax payers a dime, no tax increases, no entitlement cuts&#8230;just simple economics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The president is working non-stop to put Americans back to work and end our financial crisis &hellip; <a title=\"The magic bullet\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=26151\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The magic bullet<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26151\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
