So you are saying we should have learned our lesson and fixed these problems when they started occurring almost 50 years ago?Yes. Very mild in fact. You may not have been around during the 70s oil embargo but we were having double digit inflation, gas stations were limiting gas if they had any. People were lining up for blocks just to buy a couple of gallons. Energy prices were rising daily. The President even ordered a national wage and price freeze. People like you thought America was finished and that OPEC was now in control of our every day lives. We came out of it stronger than when we went in.
You think we have drug problems today? I guess you don't remember Reagan's War on Drugs either.
Feel free to google: Reagan's War on Drugs, OPEC Oil Embargo and Reagans Wage and Price Freeze. Then decide for yourself if things are worse today.
There have been over a million drug overdose deaths in this country since 2001. There were over 107,000 alone just last year. Inflation has reared its ugly head again. Cost of living is rising drastically. We still have a border crisis. And this "green new deal" is designed to destroy not only the fossil fuel industry but our agricultural industry as well. These problems are more than fairly mild and yes things are worse today.
But it's all good because we gave 40 billion in "aid" to Ukraine so Russia can be brought to it's knees right?
