there is NO defense when you allow other countries to drill off your coast, but not allow your own citizens to benefit. you can't even pretend to use the "environmental" argument! florida has been hampered by laws which benefit other countries. this bad policy does dovetail nicely with cap and trade, to force the united states to pay higher energy costs for the "emerging" countries to prosper.

the fact that we are giving american money to brazil so that they can drill for oil and the fact that soros is personally benefiting from this transaction shows how far this global agenda actually is. in the meantime, more american jobs were lost than expected this week.

HOW IS THIS IN ANY WAY GOOD FOR AMERICA'S INTERESTS?????

So your not against capitalism, just American capitalism.

We invest in Brazil so they can sell the oil to China? We fight a war in Afghanistan so
Russia can sell oil to India? Just proves that money has no loyalty to any race, creed or culture except the endless worship of MAMMON. No surprise, this was happening before the money changers moved into the Temple and will still be happening until a very few own everything and everybody.

some retirees and "non-workers" seem to think it is okay to export the jobs because they will still get a government check. i hope they realize that the government relies on those workers to pay these retirees and "non-workers". we only have approximately 59 percent of the working age population working now!
