[Vision2020] Kuwait Contamination Dumped In Idaho

[Ted Moffett]

Saundra et. al.

I don't know for sure what former Idaho governor Cecil Andrus would think
about Idaho being a dumping ground for contamination resulting from US
global economic/military/energy hegemony over the Middle East. But that this
taxpayer funded exorbitance is forced upon US citizens, who are now paying
through the nose for gas/diesel price increases, in part linked to the same
Middle East US policy that resulted in the Kuwait depleted uranium
contamination being dumped in Idaho, might give pause regarding the
absurdity of globalization agendas when they conflict with national interest
agendas;  the globalized multinational corporate economy needs the Middle
East oil flow guaranteed, and the US taxpayer can foot the bill (in
part money borrowed from China and Japan, hooray for living on
credit!), while those in the US invested in these multinationals, prominent
on the DJI,  maintain their wealth, and those who are not, paying the higher
gas and diesel costs, well, they are the losers in the game of free market
globalized capitalism.  Why pretend otherwise?

Or are we going to manage the free market to help the little gal/guy with
their increased gas, and food costs from diesel shipping increases?  Oh,
like the Federal Reserve recently bailing out Bear Stearns, a wise decision
given the economic consequences of allowing the "free market" in this case
to express its full "freedom?"  This was an example of big government market
management that would make some Socialists smile.  Little gal/guy indeed!
