Prepare to DOUBLE National Debt

Obama & Romney appear to be in a near dead heat in a poll by Politico-George Washington University, with Obama at 49 percent, and Romney at 48 percent.

However, Gallup Poll Gives Romney Biggest Lead Yet … the consulting firm reported, more than half of likely to prefer Romney for president, with only 45 percent backing Obama, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

This reverses my August prediction numbers, and is likely to mean a doubling of the National Debt will be the hallmark of 2012-2016, & 2012-2020, era.

To affect the doubling, the nation will need to go into a full blown recession… but not before a period of record growth related to increase borrowing.   The Social Security system will, naturally, collapse.  But that will affect only those currently under the age of 55…. who turn 65 in 2022.  At that point, the economy will be in a shambles.  Worse, we will be without Gasoline and alternative energy sources.

There will be more wind-farms, probably more solar, but it will not be on a scale designed to alter the reality of our dependence on the Middle East and the oil controlled by Arab extremists.  Though, in terms of “Saint Paul’s Joke”, it is possible that we will be in a state of war.  Any petroleum resources will be diverted to combat requirements. More important, the nature of the conflict should remove the Middle Eastern reserves from access.

Rome will be destroyed – according to the ancient Malachy prophecy.  (Feel free to reject prophecy, but it is worth considering, since all of Christianity and Islamic culture is based upon it.  Without it, neither religion, nor their related cultural effects, have an justification for existence.)  Assuming that happens, the causes are natural (Earthquake activity) or manmade (War and/or Terrorism).  In either even, the region will be in turmoil.

Assuming Terrorism – Jihad – it follows that the oil fields will cease production.  That alone will remove the United States as a military power … no oil, no ships or planes to transport men and equipment to the region.   Also, no domestic transportation that is not electrical, so an increased demand for coal powered electric will emerge … with dirty air… an increase in climate change … raising of sea levels and these invoke the Edgar Cayce prophecy of the Great Lakes flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.  There will also be an earthquake in the region where Ohio and Indiana touch Missouri/Kentucky.  That should kill a million people and destroy the economy for a third, or more, of the nation. [1816 example, at that time the region was empty and the R8.9 quake rang bells in Boston… and caused damage throughout the southern states.)

All by electing a Mormon & Right-wing Christian

Ethanol Deception - Bush Consistent

_____________________________________________________
Updated June 18, 2007

Ah the wonder of it all. The push for ethanol has an interesting side bar: The fuel is 10-15 percent cheaper than gasoline.

You actually save cash money on each tankful of ethanol that replaces the equivalent amount of gasoline. YEA! You are going to hear a lot about that. Ethanol is Cheaper ... and politicians never lie.

Seems there is a catch; well, several. The ethanol needs special engines; flex-fuel engines; the alcohol will probably fry your regular engine. WOW! Now, to save money, you need to spend money on a brand new car.

OH right, and there is another great thing about ethanol; it is less efficient than gasoline. Seems ethanol E85 is fifteen percent less efficient, you get worse milage, need to fill the gas tank more.

Hum, I wonder? If you did the math. Would you be buying more, or less, gasoline when you adjust for the fuel efficiency factor?

If I get fifteen percent less efficiency, I need to buy fifteen percent more fuel; but the additional fuel is fifteen percent less efficient; so does that mean I need to compensate for the inefficiencies by buying twenty percent more fuel?

On a milage basis, I pay the same whether I use gasoline or ethanol; that is, it costs me the same number of dollars to drive a given number of miles. Does not matter in the least which fuel I use, the per mile cost remains the same.

On top of that, I needed to buy a new car. But that car had to be manufactured; and the cost of manufacture consumed fuel, or energy from some form of fuel. The materials, unless they were recycled, had to be mined, so that cost more energy.

The most harm to the most people doctrine has now kicked in with a vengeance. In order not to put a gallon of gasoline into my car when I fill the tank, I need to burn multiple gallons to produce and transport a new car, and I need to fill my tank more often to compensate for the new, or alternative, fuel inefficiency.

Every gallon of ethanol used, therefore, increases the real amount of gasoline used. The difference is that I see less gasoline pumped at each visit to the service station.

OH! Almost forgot, it takes special pumps to pump the E85, and, until every vehicle is E85 compatible, there will be a need for separate storage tanks. These will also need to be manufactured, transported and installed. More fuel wasted in the drive to lower fuel efficiency by fifteen percent.

To compensate, new car fuel efficiency requirements will need to be raised by EIGHTEEN PERCENT. Yep, all those E85 flex fuel cars will need to get not 30 mpg, but 35 mpg just to keep to where we are in terms of gasoline consumption.

AH! Now! Do you love how “The most harm to the most people” really works, and understand why George Bush has gotten aboard?

FOOTNOTE: In case you had not noticed, the E85, which is 15 percent less efficient than gasoline, costs fifteen percent less per gallon than gasoline. So, effectively, on a per gallon basis, the gasoline costs the same and the ethanol is free? Can that be right?
