I don't know Arnold personally but what I know of him I have always liked. Now I like him even more after he stood up and took full blame for the defeat of the California Propositions. Thats how a man acts. Hear this GWB? Rummy? Scooter? Cheney? Look to Arnold and take a lesson in manhood and how to behave.

John,
I kinda agree with you on the federal level government being out for themselves, except I see it in BOTH parties, unfortunately.
I think both parties' senior folk have sold themselves out to foreign oil producing countries. As people become more senior, they automatically get these "perks" from these oil countries.
I won't name names here, but ask yourself: what is wronfg with our foreign policy that we have been supporting and dealing happpily with tyrants, monarchs and dictators who happily disregard any form of human rights, and completely ignoring some democratic countries like India, Phillipnes, S. Korea & Japan?
Our foreign policy is totally messed up, and in my opinion, driven by one thing only: the payoffs that our senior politicans get (from both parties) in the form of "consulting fees" and "speaking fees" from fronts for one or two oil producing coutries who are also spreading hate in the world, in the interst of hanging on to power.
THAT's the real problem, and unless we face it and get rid of our fat cat politicans and DC bureaucracy, we are headed downhill.

"It turns on how the oil reserves left in the world will be financed and allocated. Lets be honest; oil runs policy because without it we don't have a country. So the real questionb as I see it is how to divide the remaining resources between the world community. " I thought oil was sold on the open market. All companies paid the same price for oil. My point in my earlier post was that a lot of the politicans from both parties are acting in their own self interest (surprise) and not touching certain oil producing countries that are CLEAR promoters of hate and terrorism, simply becuase these politicians are being paid off by money from these same oil countries. If we really wanted to, we could go to these countries, and without firing a shot, demand they replace their monarchies with democracies, and then deal with the democratically elected leaders there. This wouold be much easier than trying to make Iraq a democracy, and much less costly in terms of young american lives.

"As for oil; which currency will the oil markett be tied to in the future? Dollars/Euros/Yen; thats pretty important stuff regarding our financial interests." I don;t think it matters what it;s tied to, as long as all of them float. In other words, you can convert costlessly (ignoring tiny broke costs) between EUros & dollars and yen, so it hardly matters whether I quote you the price of oil in dollars in Euros.
Any economists amongst us care to discuss this?
