Russia does not want more oil on the market. Look at the price of a barrel of oil today. Russia will be bankrupt. They need $100 oil to keep their economy alive. But USA is now putting out more oil than Saudi Arabia due to Fracking.
Not Hawaii. Florida and Louisiana.
The major entitlement spending is for Medicare and Social Security. People are entitled to Medicare and Social Security because they paid for them all their lives.
Do you propose that the government not pay people the benefits they paid for as part of a contract?
That would be like buying health insurance from a private company, and having them decide not to pay you when you get sick and need it, because that would be a good way for them to save money.
You are not prepaying for YOUR FUTURE befits. You are paying for the people getting benefits NOW. Your money does not go into your special "Lock Box". You are paying for your grand parents and parents. Your kids and grand kids will pay for you. It really is a ponzi scheme.
My day job is building gas turbine powered frack pumps. We run on field gas direct from the ground with only a dryer and compressor.

Texas and Louisiana produce a little less than 30% of US domestic oil production. That does not count the offshore wells in federal water. It only counts land based wells. How about chemical plants and refineries?
Look at a map. Does not the Mississippi River enter the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana? How would that work out for you?
"Well Regulated" as in well trained or well disciplined. Like a regulated clock. The wrong definition is quite often used to justify firearm laws.
I am blind in one eye from childhood. I can not see anything in 3D. If a movie theater shows a 3D move must they also provide the same movie in 2D?
I guess I am part of a small minority with a vision disability. I can not see stereoscopically so no 3D for me. I NEED 2D. It is not an option.
Mod this up!!
Named after Navy people. Bush Sr. was a WWII Naval aviator. Gerald Ford served on a carrier in WWII. Jimmy Carter graduated from Annapolis and worked on the first nuclear sub designs. Carter cut the military so much in his 4 years you will never see a ship named after him. Which is why Reagen got a ship.
The first ship of a new design class names the class. The first ship of the current carriers was named USS Nimitz. So all following carriers are Nimitz class. The new carriers will be a new class. The first ship will be the USS Gerald R Ford. So the Ford class.
I'm unclear here. Since when did pharmacists suddenly get the right to override a doctor's prescription? How can Pfizer actually get a pharmacist to sign an exclusivity agreement.
It's not the pharmacist. It's the insurance company. The pharmacist can only dispense the drug as written on the prescription. The insurance company decides on what they will pay for. If the insurance company will only pay for a generic drug. You still can get the name brand drug. But you will need to pay the full retail price for it. It depends on your insurance policy.
"Regulated" as in well trained. Not as in governed by laws. A "well trained militia".
The 4th definition of "Regulated".
4. To put or maintain in order: regulate one's eating habits.
A militia must be armed or it is just a group of subjects. And yes up to the 1930's you could order machine guns from Sears and Roebuck or walk into a Western Auto and buy a new Tommy gun. Also the musket was the M16 of its day.
CALEA equipment allows VoIP call surveillance at the telco switch level (DMS 250 & 500). When a Judge issued a warrant to wire tap a phone number. It would usually happen at the telco switch level. VoIP stopped that because IP traffic did not involve the voice network. CALEA upgraded the physical switches them selves to IP and added 1 cabinet of equipment (COLO owned by the FBI). The FBI through an office in Quantico, VA can access the network switches directly with out involving AT&T or Verizon.
