Where's the change?
1) Wall Street regulation, (2) Nationalization of the industry, and (3) genuine rigorous governmental policies aimed at a national program of energy Conservation would achieve the objectives engendered by “energy independence” (aka “profit preservation”).
The problem is this three pronged approach would come at the expense of Corporate profits while a policy of “energy independence” simply comes at the expense of the People and their Commons.

In a parallel universe based on honesty and achievement, would our present Congress have a completely different look? Every Republican candidate from the tea party and incumbents ran on jobs and the failings of the Obama stimulus. The Obama stimulus Was modestly successful.

And when they had a little extra time they used their jackboots to force austerity and John Gault policy on all Americans.

A Capital Idea Part 100: Will 2012 be a Year of Paradigm Shift?
Since my political predictions in the past have turned out to be quite accurate, though usually unwritten, I thought I would write my inutitive feelings about what is in store for the world politically in the coming year and in some cases, years. Actually, I have a special reason for making predictions this year, because my gut feeling is that we are at the cusp of a tangible paradigm shift worldwide, something which will shape humanity's future.
