Didn't realize there was such a strong orthodoxy on this issue here at the Fire. It's been educational. Questioning even the economics of it generates as much anger as questioning our nation's subservience to Israeli objectives in the Middle East. Quite a hot potato.
Are you really this ignorant?
What level of citation and evidence do you require to debunk a completely baseless hack whom you cited in the beginning?
I guess I didn't lay the sarcasm on thick enough. My point is that the numbers are clearly cherry picked, and all they tell is income vs. outgoing; nothing else. Could the difference be that Fracking is turning out to a be a very profitable business, so they're all expanding like a wildfire in an effort to make even more money?
And private businesses aren't exactly lining up to lose money. The hosts statement of "it's based on the budget" is the most ignorant business statement I've ever heard.
