Get Ready for Carter 2.0

From Hot Air, comes this story by Steve Forbes.

Hmmmmm. Rising energy prices, a disastrous energy policy, unrest in the middle east, stagflation....where have I seen these before.....


From the article:


Unfortunately, this administration’s Department of the Interior, with the most anti-oil-and-gas record in U.S. history, is sabotaging any real chance of avoiding the pending energy crisis because of its continued hold on deepwater drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico.
 
When Interior Secretary Ken Salazar heads before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday, Americans — particularly the 9.2 million directly or indirectly working in the oil and gas industry — would be ill served if the question isn’t asked: Are the thousands, and counting, of out-of-work Americans in the Gulf region and beyond a worthwhile consequence of your department’s freeze? 

Are disco, leisure suits, and polyester clothes far behind? If Billy Beer comes back, I am going to go to sleep and not wake up until 2013.
