A ray of hope

Via Virtual Reality, this point, which is both quite true and predictive of perhaps a better future, if only our "leadership" would get out of the way and let the people prosper.

   "The US may soon become the world's largest gas and oil producer. Food exports are booming as never before. American brands from iPhones and Starbucks to Google and Twitter flood the world. The US is poised on the brink of a national economic recovery but it won't happen while the Utopian Socialist is in the White House. It goes against the grain of Barack Obama to see the US in the front of the line."

It's been truthfully said that a capitalist economy can easily support a welfare state, but a welfare state cannot support itself.  If only that were understood by our "leaders."

An example: In California, where I live, the state has vast oil and gas reserves, but the state government does not allow anything close to full exploitation, for purely political reasons.  We could easily be as prosperous as Texas, but instead have chosen poverty.  Insane, but that's our reality. We are a welfare state learning the sad lesson set forth above.  God forbid that this mental disease spreads to the rest of the country.
