I spoke to Williams briefly when he was bad mouthing Calvin when Calvin was speaking. I wish I had seen McClendon up front when I spoke, I would have let him have it, too.
Tell us more about your exchange with Williams.
The most radical president ever administration is going back to court to order a 6 months moratorium for drilling in the Gulf. The EPA is holding hearings about hydraulic fracturing in Texas.
Health care reform was passed with unfunded mandates on the State of Texas at a time medicaid resources are being cut due to budget problems. In 2014 the medicaid rolls will increase by adding more poor adults and more children.
Texas depends on the oil and gas industry to fund medicaid.
The issue is more than the oil/gas industry, health care and takeover of banks.
The issue is about who is going to have power. The EPA or the State of Texas in the oil and gas industry. Obamacare or the State of Texas in funding health care.
If banks, health care and the oil and gas indusrty are run by the White House, watch out for less credit and more failed banks, rationed health care and higher costs for electricity.
Centalized planning and centralized takeover of private business never, never works! Capitalism and freedom go hand and hand. Socialism leads to our loss of liberty.
The anti-drilling activists are just a part of an agenda to take power away from us at the local level to give it to the hard left.
Your comment shows how ignorant you are of oil & gas regulation in Texas. Go back and read my statement to the EPA and click on the links where I provide PROOF of what I'm saying. Texas HAS NO specific regulation for hydraulic fracturing.
Are you mainlining Glenn Beck? There is a 12-Step program for that ya know.
