This Caught My Fancy This Morning

The easy way is too hard:

The easy way to make ethanol is to import sugar from Brazil and use that. Of course we don't and won't do that.

The easy way to bring oil prices is to drill offshore and on the North Slope. Of course we don't do that.

The easy way to bring electricity prices down (you can make fertilizer with electricity) is to build nuclear power plants, expensive but cheap compared to wars. Of course we won't do that. --

I think we (USA) should return to the time when the only taxes were on imported goods and jobs stayed in America and people actually had to work instead of getting government handouts. That's the easy way that is too hard.
