It is the school administrations that decided everyone should go to college. Not the students. 20% or so should go to college, that is the group that is both smart enough and motivated to go to college. One of the reasons there is such a high dropout rate from high and junior high school is the lack of motivation. And boredom. Average welder, especially in the petroleum industry is probably knocking down a $60-70k / year salary without overtime. We also need automotive technicians, lots of skilled jobs not requiring college degrees are wanting. Give the young people an insight into the real world while in elementary, middle and high school. And a basis to make a living. |

Both also blame the government. :-) Eisboch And some of the refineries closed as there was not enough oil in the area to support the refinery and the cost and difficulty of bringing in more oil, was both to costly or government permit disallowed. The Shell refinery in "The Oil Patch" of SoCal is one of the ones prominently mentioned. It was build to refine the oil from the local oil field. The field is at end of life. The are no ports next to the field, so you build a pipeline to feed an old, wore out refinery. Take the same amount of money to build the pipeline and upgrade the refinery, and you have enough to build a new one next to a transport hub. Plus a few years ago, the oil companies had a 2% ROI, where were the tears from the users then? HK sells is writing for what the market can bear, why should the oil companies be different. Same with the excess fees charged by brokerage houses until Charles Schwab introduced the discount brokerage and competition. |

Or is the problem that it was accomplished by somebody other than a Democrat? On it's face, if you were a conspiracy theorist (not that you are of course) it would seem to be the perfect storm, if you will, of Big Oil getting theirs (more money) and environmentalists getting theirs (less gasoline use). Oh, let's not leave the auto makers out of this because they will be subsidized to "solve" the economy problem thus getting theirs. |
