We have no shortage of oil.
We have no shortage of natural gas.
We have no shortage of anything necessary to maintain American Standards of living and economic growth except: Rare Earth Metals.
Rare earth metals are a group of 17 metals (such as lanthanum and cerium) that are used for a variety of high tech gadgets that are vital to modern life.
The other shortage we have is with educated voters and fact filled congressional politicians.
So when elected congressional officials tell you we have an ineffective government with nothing but job killing regulations; that our government needs to be smaller with less regulations so we can reduce taxes, get government off your back and allow the free enterprise system to do what it does best; ask yourself......
If all these things are true......
How come we're climbing out of a recession after over ten years of tax cuts, reduced government funding to enforce regulations, where job creators offered no new employment to our citizens in over 10 years, then laid-off 20% of all citizens right before the economy fell off a cliff due to the free market systems inability to regulate itself.
The FACT is starving a government of adequate revenue and of the ability to be effective in doing it's job has consequences.
Every organization has to deliver products & services while balancing income with expenditures or go bankrupt.
This includes our elected officials in Congress.
Income must increase and expense must decrease to pay down our debt.
Doing anything less is a complete waste of time and effort for which you can expect either no results and results that backfire on "We the People".
Hypocrisy resides in our halls of congress, tell me which party is more deserving to hold the honor of said definition; the hypocritical political party, send them home.

#POTUS Election 2012
Hold your educated political beliefs in high regard and seek success for that in which you believe.
Set aside falsehoods and pretense by both political parties and hold each accountable for what they say versus what they do.
Be mindful of the fact that our forefathers created a magnificent government which includes a separation of governmental powers that creates a fairly interesting balancing act between branches of government. And between our Federal Government and the States.
Starting in the year 2000 our Federal Government reduced Federal taxes for all citizens. They continued to spend sums of money greater than the income received by the Federal Government.
In September 2000 our National Debt was $5,674,178,209,886.86.
In September 2008 our National Debt was $10,024,724,896,912.40.
This is an increase in our National Debt of almost 77% in 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency; an average increase of 9.625% each year of the 8 years.
When President Barack Obama was prepared to takes the oath of office the USA economy had already been dropped off the proverbial cliff. Housing prices were falling, credit facilities among all financial entities was drying up, the Federal Government Revenue from a shrinking economy was falling while citizens seeking access to Federal and State Government Safety Net Programs was growing.
During George Bush's last year in office, from September 2008 ($11,909,829,003,511.70) to end of his term and start of Barack Obama's 1st year in office, September 2009 our debt ballooned from $10,024,724,896,912.40 This means from September 2008 to September 2009 we had an increase of almost 19% for the year.
Now let me be perfectly clear, our Presidents present annual budgets to congress but constitutionally, the House of Representatives is responsible for budget proposals, then our Senate either agrees to the budget or makes modifications in their chambers.
If there are differences between the House and Senate approved budgets, the congressional differences are ironed out in a congressional conference between the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The President either signs or veto's the budget.
Should the budget be vetoed, then congress can override the Presidents action with a 2/3rds vote in the House of Representatives and the Senate agreeing to overrule the Presidential veto.
Thus any congressional elected official blaming any president for a budget and/or deficit problem is not coming clean with the American people.
Congress appropriates money to operate our federal Government, they own the budget, a President can only make sure that 2/3rds of each house agree to any given budget; this happens only when the President veto's the appropriation.
