Is WAR a Subsidy for Fossil Fuels?
Sixty cents of every Federal tax dollar goes to "defense". Is this considered a subsidy to keep the price of oil low? If not, please explain. If so, what percentage of defense spending can be attributed to "oil subsidies"?
With the media so hungry to soak up the dollars floating around from the fossil fuel industry and from the pro-Romney PACs, how will the industries that don't yet exist but provide capitalistic competitionever get a foothold or a voice?
If one looks at the supply/demand curve isn't it apparent that scarcity breeds profits, even if the scarcity is fabricated? And what about the scarcity of resource options for future generations we are sinking human civilization into; when will we begin to look at the destruction of the environment as a debt we are passing onto our children that is much larger than any fiscal debt?
