Trillion dollar spending plans, multibillion dollar bailouts, and now...here it comes. Higher taxes.

Oh yeah, I've heard the Obama hype about all the "tax cuts" that the middle class folks are gonna get. But that's all it is...hype!

First of all, it would be nice if you cleaned your mouth up a bit here. Second, you stated, "Oh yeah, I've heard the Obama hype about all the "tax cuts" that the middle class folks are gonna get. But that's all it is...hype!" How

Why we need a strong Navy

20.05.12

The latest Iranian threat in the Persian Gulf demonstrates why we need a strong Navy today and in the future.

Iran's first vice-president warned five days ago that if Western nations put sanctions on Iran's oil exports, "then even one drop of oil cannot flow from the Strait of Hormuz." Iran's top naval commander said closing the Persian Gulf would be "easier than drinking a glass of water."

About 17 percent of the world's daily oil requirements come through the Strait, and its loss would be a major setback to the world economy. Indeed, any attempt to close this international waterway should be viewed as an act of war by those who use it. But experts point out that Iran also depends on oil exports to keep its economy going, and closing the strait would be economic suicide, as one anonymous Iranian oil ministry official told reporters. So the posturing by Iran is widely dismissed as a bluff.

Nevertheless, a recent article in Foreign Affairs magazine points out there is little doubt that Iran could give the U.S. Navy fits with its recently modernized forces in the Gulf and Indian Ocean. Our Navy would almost certainly prevail, and that keeps a leash on Iran's aggression.

Zmetro.com: Oil & Water, Jet Fuel & Labor

by jez

So far in 2011, we've seen a similar surge in oil prices, but based on current geopolitical events, I am not expecting another $117 drop in the price of a barrel of oil like we witnessed in 2008. 64 per barrel [price of a barrel of oil plus the equivalent cost to refine crude into jet fuel (the crack spread)] on July 11, 2008. At that time, the price of a barrel of oil had not yet reached its apex of $147 per barrel, but was well on its way....
