Pickens Plan Friends,

I do not believe that a "bail out" in the traditional sense is the way to go. I am however suggesting some sort of Federally supervised restructuring of the industry with a new business plan and strategy going forward.

Oil and autos face the same issue, the transition into the new fuels. Unfortnately, the autos do not have the balance sheets to support such an effort. By leveraging thier capacity, possibly turned over to new owners, they may be able to acquire the means of production free of massive debt, and hire workers at globally competitive wages. The result will be a more efficient auto industry making cars that people around the world actually want to buy at prices they can afford. Such auto makers could conceivably be profitable and could become the cornerstone of the new Green economy manufacturing renaissance in the United States. In contrast to the never ending money pits that threaten to swallow a good deal of our economy

Pickens Plan is about stopping the great transfer of wealth. Perhaps we should stop to consider where a great deal of the wealth originated.

What are your thoughts?

Yes indeed. The world has been in deep the deep, smelly, squishy stuff for a long time; we are just now seeing results as the snake begins to raise it's onerous head. The best of their plan is yet to come.

Follow the Money ! The Bildenburger and the Rothchilds are running the country , Thats my best guess ! And this small groug has done such before in past history . Not to sure that the covert government ,FEMA,UN is not doing some thing to ,Right BUT just What ? 50 to 100 more days of Oil leak and what will the Atlantic look like in a year or less ! Why do these people have this kind of power anyhow and what is the real plan ? The worl is in deep crap soon !

Yes. With so many answers and so few officials willing to listen and the accumulation for so many idiot decisions getting our economy to the state that it's in now, one has to consider that neither the President, Senate or Congress is running the country. Then the question is who or what unidentified group is giving the marching orders? A lot of speculation, but again, so few answers.

Yea Keystone cops but with a dash of Nazi Gestapo to We the people . The EPA waste a lot of time with snooping out people putting R 12 in A/C units with out a licence and fining people that removed their Cat converters .At the same time ,In a thousand years the Oil Killing life in the Gulf will never be repaired and that dose not seem to importent at all to these crooks. Call them and tell them you have a Idea on a workable Leak stopping idea ,and see if the just hang up on you .Bet the will . Maybe their more like Booso the Clown when it comes to real big business,But the car repair shop trying to paint with quality paint .Hell they put him out of business long ago ! And just try to convert your car to something other than Gasoline ,That comes with a 100000 buck fine ! Any Ideas what would it take to return government to common sence ! I think it would be EZer to go to the moon totaly done with out any government support first ! And I am not to sure this screwed up country ever did go to the Moon . I think NASA big wigs just pocketed the money with help from the CIA and Hollywood ! My view of the government is getting dimmer by the day !

Hi Dave:

'All true. However there are so many answers and so few people listening. Yes, it can be turn around, but not with the display of leadership witnessed now for way to long. They all seem to know how to make horrible decisions and policies but can never seem to settle on a good one. Keystone Cops in action.

Best regards,
Walter

Walt -This is 100% right. People working hard every day Mining the Gold and Coal and and Oil then others building Homes and tractors and cars and Planting corn and rice and soy are the real first tear . Years ago I was in a state of shock when one of the Top CEO in this country told common workers at a Plant Meeting that "This country was going to become a Service country and other countrys "ie.China " They would become our manufacturing labor country !" .Some how The Top American Companys believed that ALL manufacturing could and would shift to Mexico and China ,and The Top Greed mongers could really cash in and This act in no way would effect anyone at home . As well as China would be happy for years to work fo little to nothing ! A few Labor Unions and a hand full of common people tryed to stop the Fare Trade act (NAFTA). But The Rotton government them give our Labor and Manufacturing away to China . In all of world history I can't find a act of treason that can match what The Evil Empire in our back yard has done .I can hardly even say they are OUR Government . However Few times in American History has ones next door neighbor come to the aid of the guy next door ,But Most neighbors are fast to Call the government to stop or control what ever the guy next door is doing if doing anything in visioned as not in the self interest of ones self ie neighbor. The line of thinking is " I don't care about the guy next door until bad things are at my door " 'thats the American way . We are all a lone and the Elite know it !
But as of now; This I don't Care about the other guy stuff and Giving away His Job to a Slave state ,Smashing his bank account .Taking His retirement and Cheating him for health care is Nothing in the Long night of world distruction turning off life in the Gulf ,Thanks to Run a way greed and Eliteism .
Personaly I could have shut this leak off 40 days ago with very little equipment and effort . I know What I came up with will work ,The people don't care . Their is no real government left , Only puppets for a few Super rich Greedy Evil Monsters . The populous are so unwilling to face the fact that we must have a new government of Drafted citizens ,Just as in Athens BC ,names from a hat was better then Election hipe anyday ! But I think we are done since people will clammer to Football and Beer hoping the government will fix things soon or voting will later ! At this cross road their is no future at all for people . The Navaho & Hopi have a word for life out of balance " Koyaavisqatsi ". WE have done this thing and must be distroyed to stop as they believe ! The Hopi call the White people "The Greedy ones " ! The Hopi know how to Die well ,They and the Navaho have done so for hundreds of years now . They are peace loving people that never wared on others ,The Hopi call themselvs the Keepers of the Earth and they have cryed enough tears for the Planet to be honored by all , The Greedy ones stole their land when they found oil ,Then once more when they found Uranium ,then again in 1974 when Peabody coal wanted their Holy Black massa and the dam government crooks gave big coal their home and lands . One more time when LA wanted their water the evil empire took what was left of navaho land . Hopi & Navaho got Nothing ,and God was watching . Now it will be Our time to learn how to die well . How can this be stopped I have NO hope ,other than to die well with Decent Navaho people ! I will join the Humanbeings is at all possible .

Original wealth comes from natural resource (mining); gold, silver, oil, coal, etc.

Second level of wealth comes from product (invention and manufacture of product).

A third important component is agriculture (essentially product).

Everything else (services, government, banks, military, finance, etc.) stands on those two pillars of the economic system. Our 'leaders' have led us from a 70% product economy to a 14% product economy during the last 40 years. These are the experts.

I have to agree, this blow-out in the Gulf is handled as to be another political tool toward our demise. Is greed and power that powerful? Fractal economic analyses suggest a complete economic collapse having strong markers by years end and collapse in 2011. If the populous would just wake up, this could be avoided.

So the depression will go on for years . People need to take a little action ,not just talk . . What ever happened to College Kids doing a little protesting ,Its their future .My time is almost over and I did my share in front of the ROTC building at Kent State , Picket lines during strikes , At the Polls ,and stuffed letters for People that made happy talk during elections running for the public teat . I fought for real freedoms ,not a rich mans war ! Did not winn ,but I did not give up just because the government wanted to kill me ,for action not setting around praying for better ! .One thing I feel good about LBJ did not run a second time and Nixion guit the Nam War since Moms and Pops joined the End the war movement . To bad that fixing this mess stopped with Endung the war . We needed to end this form of Greed government to stop never ending wars , The Next War will be over oil ! If the Gulf Mess dose not kill most of the sea life in the Atlantic ! Hay I know Joe Tatrai and their are engines out their being covered up that could free us from Big oil ! Movement must start to get moving and the governmennt hacks are the big problem with their happy talk ,then they do what their backer pay them to do ,nothing will change with out a fight ! A real fight ,not just internet talk . And the young people need to lead not fall behind the old guys who's time has passed . It has been said .Once you have lost liberty you will never have it given back . and thats what this is really about .
