The Chicago Boyz (they’re free market advocates, not cronies of President Pampers) have an interesting hypothetical question: what if there were a shovel-ready project that would generate American jobs, require NO government money or debt, provide America with a secure source of energy and benefit an important ally… what would we think of an American administration that continually obstructed this project?
Turns out there IS such a project, the Keystone XL pipeline. And it’s being blocked by the Genius-in-Chief on behalf of the usual suspects:
The reality is that large segments of the environmental movement have become so unhinged that they will instinctively oppose any large-scale construction project, even if it involves the transportation of magical pixie dust.
Actually, transportation of magical pixie dust is probably the one thing Obama would support.
The Chicago Boyz come to this unhappy conclusion:
Sadly, the U.S. Government is now being largely run by and on behalf of two classes of people:
–Theorists, whose heads are so deeply buried in books, models, and spreadsheets that they are unable to see the actual world and have lost all semblance of balance and judgment.
–Agitators, who “earn” their living and get their sense of satisfaction in life from stirring up all segments of society against one another, in a neo-Hobbesian war of all against all.
A bunch of pinheads and weiners, the Obama Administration is the albatross around our necks. And while we’re sitting in the dark waiting for our windmills to turn, China will buy the oil and the Canadians will get even richer.
