President Obama's ban
on offshore drilling has come under heavy fire.
The industries directly and indirectly affected by
the offshore moratorium made their voice heard that
they oppose the president's moratorium, and just
yesterday Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal argued
in an amicus brief that "The drilling moratorium imposed
by [the government] will only compound the State's
problems, effectively turning an environmental disaster
into an economic catastrophe for the State."
Federal judge Martin L.C. Feldman
has issued an injunction that would block
the White House's offshore drilling ban.
Feldman wrote,
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill
is an unprecedented, sad, ugly and inhuman disaster.
What seems clear
is that the federal government has been pressed by
what happened on the Deepwater Horizon into an
otherwise sweeping confirmation that all Gulf
deepwater drilling activities put us all in a
universal threat of irreparable harm."
If the drilling ban continues,
more than 120,000 jobs could be lost
in the Gulf Coast and key resources
abandoned or moved elsewhere

Just what Kool-Aid
are they drinking in the White House?
The question is occasioned almost daily now,
but this issue isn't Afghanistan, the oil spill,
or health care reform.
The Kool-Aid question arises in the antics
leading up to the upcoming G-20 meeting in Toronto.
According to press reports,
Obama is pressing Europe to focus
more on sustaining their deficit spending
rather than debt reduction.
Germany,
Europe's de facto
bailout banker-in-chief,
has essentially responded, "Are you nuts?"
Wolfgang Schauble,
Germany's Finance Minister
diplomatically told reporters in Berlin,
Nobody can seriously dispute that
excessive public debts, not only in Europe,
are one of the main causes of this crisis.
Europe is faced with a financial meltdown
due to excessive government spending.
The euro itself may not survive in its current form.
Governments across the continent are frantically
crafting austerity packages and unwinding anti-growth
socialist policies in a desperate attempt to convince
creditors to continue to buy and hold
their sovereign debt.
The Europeans know full well the U.S. must also
slash spending for these measures to be effective.
Note the words
"not only in Europe" in the Schauble quote.
This is squarely directed at the United States
