Biden Urged to Invoke Cold-War Powers to Blunt Energy Price Hike
Everyone’s invoking so-called “war powers” these days. Why not? It’s all the rage in “a time of war.” Cold War. War on Poverty. War on Drugs. War on Terror. Iraq War. War in Ukraine. Cold War II. Are there other alternatives, or is such drastic action necessary? And how long before these “temporary measures” stay permanent enough to put the United States on a course toward becoming a Soviet-style command economy guided by flavor-of-the-day, politically correct pork-barrel special interest pet projects instead of market supply-and-demand? And in this case, production capacity. Drill, baby, drill!
Important side-note: Gas prices (and inflation) were already on the steep rise BEFORE Russia invaded Ukraine…just sayin’.
Are "War Powers" the way to go to control gas prices?
Never attribute to incompetence what can be explained (if more darkly) by intent. While the bobbleheads at the top are clearly incompetent, those driving them (Ron Klain et al.) are obviously not...and are enacting what is a well-conceived plan to implement 21st-century globalized totalitarianism.
I wish I could write all this off to idiocy. Each month, it looks more coordinated, deliberate, war gamed and agenda driven. Klaus Schwab's operation lockstep #greatreset agenda will destroy the West, but instead of rebuilding a neo-socialist nirvana in his own image, the baton of economic leadership and dominance will pass to China.
