Climate Politics

Which one of these candidates is more likely to support using the military industrial complex to fight global warming (AKA streamline tax dollars to preferred corporations)?

Here's a problem that might face us in the next few years.

God bless expensive gas

Lowering gas taxes will just be used as another incentive for energy companies to raise gas prices.  fact is if the cost of gas were to fall for any reason, OPEC and the rest would reduce the oil supply to compensate and keep the cost of fuel up.

I am personally happy every time I see the cost of gas go up, the sooner we start thinking beyond an oil based economy the sooner we will begin to deal with reality and become a stronger, safer, cleaner and wealthier nation.

There is no doubt that those who are hurt the most are those who have been met with the growing cost of food that is invariably related to the growing cost of fuel.  Increased production of Biofool and  the increased cost of transporting food will result in a long term golden age for the worlds rural poor and will slow down there immigration to the worlds vast slums.

Corporate Government

Although the influence of corporations over government actions have fluctuated throughout the decades.  Can anyone name a time in American history when corporate interests didn't have as much or even more influence over elected officials as the people whom elected them.  After all even George Washington used violence to establish a new state because he (the largest liquor distiller in the America's) was not happy with increased taxes.

The only way to bring about reform that protects the interests of the common people is to wake them up, and so long as they have SUV's, American Idol & Diet Coke they would rather be Fat and Happy like so many Nero's feasting on mercury laden snacks as their kingdom falls to less gluten tribesman.
