The Same Old Promises From the Democrats On Energy Independence
Nancy Pants is Promising energy independence in 10 years:
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE [Nancy Pelosi]: ... I don’t like to comment on what other people say – but we’re very pleased with what is happening here in our first 100 hours. We signaled a new direction in Congress in terms of fiscal soundness, openness in governance, highest ethical standards. We are moving toward energy independence and we intend to achieve it within 10 years.
Emphasis mine. Of course this is the same party that blocked any reasonable consideration of President Bush’s energy initiatives in his first term. The reason why the Democrats couldn’t tolerate Bush’s plan was that they actually asked people who were in that industry for advice. I trust that Nancy Pants hasn’t consulted anyone that actually knows anything about the industry to come up with her risky scheme.
But this got me to thinking. This sounds real familiar. Like the Soviet Union’s five year plans the Democrats keep coming up with the same old 10 year plans. I imagine they probably think they’re really clever because they promise their results twice as far out as the Bolsheviks.
Anyway here’s the news from 1974, the same old promises from Democrats. We’ve been waiting over 30 years for this promise:
I don’t have the exact date of the broadcast, but it was about a week after Nixon Resigning over Watergate and the day after Gerald Ford fired Nixon Counsel J. Fred Buzhardt.
Who does Nancy Pants think she’s fooling?
