Mondays give us gas
July 21st, 2008 by Justin Richards in News, PoliticsCharlie Crist, once thought to be the good guardian of Florida’s swampy kingdom, now says he’s prepared to fight a legal battle to open our shores to oil companies.
If you asked us, Charlie, we’d say we’d rather ride our bikes to the beach than drive out to the west-Florida slime shelf. Like many Americans, we’re driving less. And our poor struggling government is consequently losing money on the federal gas tax, causing a big deficit in funds for highway projects. 
Why don’t they just borrow more money from China? We already owe them at least half a trillion, and it looks like “American” companies are cheerleading for the Red Giant anyway. Just direct evidence that any corporation, once it gets big enough, ignores national borders.
