The ballooning of the national debt was exacerbated by tax breaks for the rich which also reduced the income from taxes while allowing corporations to buy back stocks. The Russian pipeline sends natural gas to Europe, not the same as US gas. The keystone pipeline benefits Canadians who don’t want that dirty muck crossing their country. Maybe you have not noticed, but electric vehicles are taking over, the need for gasoline will be greatly reduced in the near future. I will be glad when we are no longer subject to the whims of the industry. Recently, when the pipeline was shut down on the east coast, the prices shot up in California. That was simply gouging for no reason but greed.

If you have followed past budgets and economic situations, you would find that cutting taxes increases the tax intake of the U.S. Government. Same with decreases in corporate taxes. That's just the way the economy works. Biden's chief reason for stopping the U.S. Pipeline was to protect the environment. Do you think that maybe the environment in Europe is in a vacuum and wh**ever is done there will not affect our environment? Those electric vehicles are going to need electricity from somewhere. Any idea how much is generated by coal? I guess we can just erect more windmills, maybe everyone will have his own. I don't know what they're going to use to de-ice them once the f****l f**l is locked up underground. Of course, nuclear energy is the only answer to that problem that we have to date. Any idea how the environmentalists feel about nuclear? Liberals don't seem to think ahead too far about what comes next. Just tax the rich! Don't worry too much about what ensues, the Government will take car of us.
