So you think the economy is about to implode? You hear all this “recession” talk. You listen to Katie every night telling you how bad it is.

And you believe it. That’s sad.

Right now, the summer of 2008, the US is sitting on the biggest economic boost since we geared up for World War II.  Larry Kudlow of CNBC is a big proponent of “Drill, Drill, Drill”. But let’s face it, if Congress lifted the off shore (or Alaska) drilling moratorium today, it would take several years for the first barrel of oil to be pumped. Some say the infrastructure is in place off the coast of California and we could see oil in two years. Other say ten or more years. I don’t think this is an issue.

The real value to this is the new jobs, new industry, and new economic potential for the country. This is an industry that cannot be outsourced over seas. They are good quality jobs, and a revitalization of the oil industry in this company.

Even if we do find alternatives over the next 10 years, we could become a major oil exporter! How cool would that be, pump it here and ship it to all those developing countries. A 10 year plan for energy and economic independence.

Think about this when you vote this November.
